  Meet Ranger Mav, a sweet and gentle 18-month-old German Shepherd with a heart full of love. Ranger Mav, originally named Maverick, has had a rough start in life, but he’s shown nothing but affection and trust since being rescued. He was found in December after his previous owner heartlessly kicked him out, leaving him to sit in front of their door for weeks. Despite his early experiences, Ranger Mac has quickly adapted to his new life and is ready for a fresh start with a family who will cherish him. This handsome boy loves human companionship, especially women, and will happily cuddle and follow you around. He's very affectionate with everyone he meets and has a playful side, especially when it comes to fetch! Whether it's a ball or a frisbee, he’s all in. He walks beautifully on a leash and enjoys relaxing close to his humans when indoors, just soaking up the love. Ranger Mav is a great dog with other dogs of all sizes, though he’s not a fan of cats. He’s had a couple of curious interactions with them, so we believe he’d be best suited in a home without feline friends. Though Ranger Mav had some fear of his leash initially, he’s come a long way and now understands it’s part of the adventure, not something to be scared of. He’s a quick learner and has shown tremendous progress in building trust with his foster family. His gentle nature shines through, and he’s eager to please, even if it means getting a little nervous at times when corrected—likely due to past trauma. Ranger Mav deserves a loving, patient family who will continue to show him the kindness he’s been missing. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who just wants to be by your side, Ranger Mav might be the perfect match for you.   show less

Meet Levi! I dare you not to swoon over his dreamy soft brown eyes! This guy has a story to tell that will warm your whole heart. Levi was found by a good samaritan when he was about 7 weeks old in an orchard with his mom and two brothers. They were taken to the shelter and a calpaws volunteer went very quickly to assess them, only to find that they had all adopted out quickly!   Levi was so scared. He had never been around humans before, as he was likely born in that orchard. His original adopter decided that he was not a good fit with her two small senior dogs and took to facebook to rehome him. Wouldnt ya know, that same calpaws volunteer saw his posting!   Levi has been in foster with calpaws for about 10 days. In that time, with the help of the resident pack, he has bloomed into a happy and playful puppy! Levi would not do well living in a home with no other dogs. When he is scared or unsure, he looks to them for guidance. Levi is quickly becoming acclimated to human touch, even snuggling with his foster mom in bed at night. He is crate trained , but not a huge fan of it. This could be trauma from being seperated from his mom and siblings at the shelter. No doubt that a gentle touch and positive reinforcement will cure this fear. He easily crates for meal time and is about 90% house broken. This guy is oh-so-special and is looking for his forever family! He will need somewhere with space to play , and would likely do best in a home without small children. Loud noises can be scary! Please apply for Levi if you are interested. Get connected with his foster mom to learn more about this super sweet boy.    show less

Carroll Shelby (Shelby for short) is one of four girls in a five puppy litter. She is a sweet girl who loves to run and play. She is the cuddler puppy in the litter. She does not mind playing by herself but loves to wrestle with her siblings. She enjoys sniffing around the yard, chewing on toys and laying on the outside couch and pillows. She is working on car rides in the crate and loves to look around when they are out and about in the shopping cart.  Shelby is very smart and loves to dig and pull at the turf in the play area. When Shelby has finally tired herself out, she heads right to the bed in the crate. She has found her bark but does not use it often. She does do some whining and a small howl when she is awake and ready to get up to pee but is usually the last to get up. Shelby is working on potty training outside only and alerting at the door. However, she does mostly use a pee pad when she does not alert. Crate training to be in the crate by herself is the next progression she will be working on. Shelby does sleep in the crate overnight with her siblings currently. The foster family is also working on leash training so that it will hopefully be an easy transition in her fur-ever home.  She is very gentle and has always been interested in being picked up and loved by her foster family which includes a 3 year old. She is very patient with the 3 year old and likes to follow her around. She loves to greet her when she gets home from school and will try to beat her siblings to be patted first. She really enjoys checking on the 3 month old baby when she is crying or making noises. She loves to give sweet kisses and jump to be picked up. She loves to be tucked into a blanket and just relax once she has worn herself out. She is very curious of the foster families 13 year old small dog and is submissive to her.  Shelby will do best with a family that is active and can spend lots of time working with her. She loves to be outside and exploring. She would love to have as many working jobs as possible. But best that she has at least one active job to keep her busy. She will love to have tons of places to explore and run.  Being Fostered in Petaluma, CA show less
