We took Dakota in this past week after being contacted by the Humane Society shelter. She is a mature girl, 10-ish, and has a few issues. Bad teeth, not spayed, numerous mammary tumors and several unattractive little bumpy things on her face! It is very likely that she will have to have surgery in two stages. Does not like having her face held, and we think that is probably related to her severe dental disease. She is a lovely black and tan and not a delicate little girl. She is a robust 33 pounds, but not an ounce of fat. She is just a taller and longer girl. She is not ready for couch potato status yet, she is still active and wants to interact and gets pretty darn excited when the leash comes out. We will get her all fixed up as quickly as we can, but right now she has kennel cough and is in heat, so there will be no surgery yet! We are getting to know her now, so will keep everyone posted. From what we have seen so far, she is a great dog! As always, if you can help with any of her extensive surgical needs, we would sure appreciate it.

Daisy is a sweet 12 year old, completely blind girl. She is very tentative and hesitant due to her blindness. She does not walk on a leash, she doesn’t want to go outside and basically all she does is lay in her bed, occasionally getting up to eat and for a drink of water. She is not housebroken and often steps out of her bed, pees and goes right back to laying down! On the positive side, Daisy is very quiet. She flinches when you touch her, even when she knows you are there. She is not much of an interactive pet but she still deserves love. Please know that if you take her in, accidents in the house will be the norm. We don’t want to be negative about her, but unfortunately this is what she is.

My name is Maximo! But you can call me MAX! I am a 2 year old cocker spaniel boy, who is looking for a family of my own! I weigh about 35 lbs, but it’s all muscle!! I would like for my new pawrents to be active and give me exercise. They’ll tire me out on a run, and then enjoy cozying up on the couch together! They will have a fenced yard and lots of toys for me! I mean LOTS of TOYS! NO CATS Please, AND OLDER KIDS ONLY! I am up to date on vaccinations, and I am neutered. If you aren’t ready to adopt yet, I would love to be your foster-pup! Please call Elizabeth for more information! I am currently in Jamestown, California and my adoption fee is 500. Cannot wait to meet you!!! 

Hi there, my name is Andre. I am a Cocker Spaniel. I am 1&1/2 years of age and I weigh 25 lbs. I am super friendly, and already VERY handsome. People say that I am a “SWEETIE PIE”  Ooh-la-la!  The genes that made my beautiful coat also made me hard of hearing, but that’s ok. I won’t freak out around fireworks or other loud noises, right? I have been this way all of my life and I get around like any other dog. I am up to date on my vaccinations, I am chipped, and neutered. If you would like to take me home to be your one and only true love, that would make me so happy! For more information, call Elizabeth at (805) 687-4674 or fill out an application. We also need more foster homes for incoming pups! Please call us and we will be happy to help you with that process! 

Andre is currently in Jamestown.  His adoption fee is $500.

Check out this adorable little muffin. Isn’t she just the cutest! She is approximately 10 weeks old now, but unfortunately has been diagnosed with juvenile cataracts. Yes, this means she will ultimately go blind unless the cataracts are removed. While she is being a normal puppy now and is unfazed by the diagnosis (she is not blind yet) the day will come where she will start to lose vision. There is no telling how quickly that will happen, but it will happen. Of course best case scenario is to have the cataracts removed as soon as possible, but this is also a pretty pricey procedure and it is both eyes. She is otherwise a healthy, playful and adorable little girl. We are in a dilemma now, as we want to provide the best possible outcome for this girl but the procedure for both eyes is significant. Fortunately we have the option of doing one eye at a time and this is not a life threatening situation. She will also need a foster home as soon as we get her, as our place in Jamestown is no place for a baby girl like her. So, we ask our rescue family to once again help us out! If you can donate anything to help offset the expense, or if you are willing to foster or adopt, that would be awesome. As a possible foster or adopter, please be advised she is a typical puppy! Not going to be well housebroken, has those little piranha teeth and needle sharp nails. She will want to play with other dogs in the home, so if have a older, pretty chill senior, it probably wouldn’t be the best for either dog. Anyone out there who can help us with her?

This beauty is Willow! We recently got her from the shelter where they aged her at 10 years old. Now, as many of you know, shelters give an approximate age to dogs typically based on their teeth and their eyes. Willow’s teeth are horrible and she has ulcers on her cheeks and gums from the tartar and possible fissulas that have broken thru into her sinus cavity. Not good, but it can also mean she has had a lifetime of dental neglect. She is also unspayed, so veterinary care was not first and foremost for her. When she came into the shelter her ears were also nasty infected, but do not appear to have scar tissue damage! She doesn’t look 10 years old, nor does she act it. This red beauty is only about 20 pounds and has her full tail. She is absolutely delightful. She will be having her initial assessment, then spay and dental and then she will be ready to find her forever home. She is good with other dogs and likes to play. If you can help us with any of her medical expenses that would be appreciated. Feel free to get your application in on her and she will be ready soon. You won’t be sorry.

We have had an interesting week with not one, but two found cockers in Stockton-One girl and one boy! There were not found together, so not likely they were dumped together but they both need our help.

Our girl, Olive, is already in foster. We featured her the other day on f/b looking for a foster, so you got the sneak peek at her. One of her ears is nasty infected, she needs to be spayed, vaccinated, all the stuff need to be done. She is a beautiful girl and even likes cats! She was found at an industrial dump site just waiting and hoping someone would come along and save her. She was adopted by someone on our wait list.

Our boy, Sonny, is a little tri colored one who is in bad shape. He is horribly matted and scared to death. He went to the groomer and looks very handsome now. He was spotted, we were contacted and it took a bit to catch him, but our volunteer was finally successful. He is still fearful, but with time he will come out of it. It’s hard to tell if he was out on his own for a long time but the condition of his coat makes us think he probably was. Dogs that are left behind like this and have to fend for themselves, can develop a serious fear of humans. They want to come to you, but are too scared. But he is already coming around with our volunteer. We will have more info on him in the coming week, but is also going to need to the works done on him.

Both will need some bloodwork, probably de-worming, vaccinations, spaying/neutering etc. If you can help us at all with these abandoned dogs we would sure appreciate it.

As we move along with getting our spay/neuter clinic set up we are excited by the progress we have made turning a trailer into a clinic. We are ready to start purchasing equipment but were hoping for your help to stretch our donations as much as possible. We are also looking for any used equipment that a vet may be willing to donate to a non-profit clinic. Periodically most vets will upgrade and their ‘trade-ins’ could be put to good use by us! If you have a friendly relationship with your vet, perhaps you could ask them if they plan to upgrade anything? We have also posted a wish list specifically for the clinic on the website. As always we appreciate all your support and anything you can do to help.

We rescued this sweet old boy after his humans dumped him at the same shelter they had adopted him from. They adopted him when he was two years old, and ten years later returned him. This kind of behavior just breaks our hearts. The owners called him Prince, but sure didn’t treat him like a Prince. We renamed him Paisley because we want him to forget his past life. It’s confusing for the dog and he is now 12 years old and dogs often withdraw when they are left like that. This teddy bear of a boy is adorable. He never barks, never questions anything. He is just happy to have a warm snuggly bed, food and a human to pet him and tell him what a good boy he is. He needs to know he is still worthy and loved and we are happy to do that! He is a typical older cocker….vision is slightly compromised but he can see fine, his hearing is good but he does need regular ear cleanings. He is currently fighting a upper respiratory infection as well as a urinary track infection. Once he is all better, he will be looking for his permanent home. He has lots of love left to give and is happy to receive any in return. A sweet old boy who will make you a fabulous companion. He is not interested in going for big hikes and such, just relaxing and enjoying his golden years.
