This girl is only about 4 months old and 30 lbs but will eventually grow into 75 lbs or more. She is super sweet and has a lot of shepherd energy! She loves to play fetch and tug! She walks very well on a leash. She knows a couple basic commands, and her foster family is working on more. She is a very smart girl and is catching on quickly to family life and house living. She is really trying with her potty training, but still has accidents here and there. She loves to cuddle with her foster family and does really well with children. She is cat workable. Being a puppy she still barks at the cat and this can be trained out of her, her foster family is already working on it! She gets along great with other dogs!

This is a courtesy posting for Santa Cruz Shelter. We have another guy we are looking to place. His name is Darwin. He is a mix of sorts. He is listed as a black mouth curr, but looks quite sheperdy. We transferred him in from Monterey County Animal Shelter. He had been with them 10 days, prior to us pulling him. They had deemed him unadoptable because of his stress level in the shelter. He is amazing with other dogs, and absolutely loves people. We can’t currently get any video of him with other dogs, but I believe there is some on facebook somewhere that I will try and track down. We think that he is super understimulated while in the shelter environment. He does not kennel well, so we have been keeping him in our office as much as possible. He can be mouthy when he is playing, but no pressure at all. If you start petting him, he just melts into you. Loves hugs. You can do just about anything to him. He pulled a piece of plastic off my desk (he’s a counter surfer) and I just opened his mouth and reached my hand in and pulled it out and he could have cared less. He will sit for treats and takes them ever so gently 😊 When left alone he doesn’t whine or bark, but does counter surf, and we’ve only hear him bark a couple of times. Over all, he is an awesome dog, but is not going to do well in the kennel environment. We have been looking for a foster for him, but that has been difficult as well. He is neutered, which we did on Monday. Yesterday he had to be sedated and have the incision repaired, since he was so active in his kennel it opened up ☹ We would really love to find this boy a place, in a foster home. Please contact Santa Cruz Shelter for more details. show less

Adoption fees: $450 for dogs 12 months/younger, $400 for dogs 1-2 Yrs, $350 for dogs 3-5yrs, and $300 for 6yrs and older Meet Miss Whitney. She is a 8 month old Ibizan Hound and Border Collie mix. She LOVES to zoom around the yard playing with the resident German Shepherd and is learning the cues when another dog is done playing. She will happily sit with you and give puppy kisses. Whitney will go by the door if she needs out but doesn’t necessarily bark. She sleeps nicely in her crate all night. Whitney is settling in to her foster home and slowly learning not everything is scary. She is a smart girl and is quickly picking up basic commands. Like all puppies her age she will need continued training and socialization. Are you looking for an active but sweet girl?

Adoption fees: $450 for dogs 12 months/younger, $400 for dogs 1-2 Yrs, $350 for dogs 3-5yrs, and $300 for 6yrs and older Welcome Raven to the pack. Raven is a 4 month old Husky/Pitt mix. Raven is a friendly, people focused puppy who is a fast learner with a lot of puppy energy. Her short hair means she doesn’t shed much and she’s very cuddly and loves nothing better than sleeping on your lap. But because of her husky background, she loves being active and has a lot of energy that needs to be focused. She’s great with other dogs and often sleeps on her foster brothers back. She loves playing rough with the other dogs and can hold her own even with a big dog. She’s just learning to walk on a leash because her immunizations were just finalized, but she’s fully potty trained as long as she has access to the outdoors and is used to going out with the other dogs at regular intervals. She loves to chew and is very good about chewing on dog toys as long as she has them. She’s going to make someone a wonderful pet although she does tend to like one person in particular. Raven weighs approximately 25lbs and would do best in a home with kids over the age of five.

Adoption fees: $450 for dogs 12 months/younger, $400 for dogs 1-2 Yrs, $350 for dogs 3-5yrs, and $300 for 6yrs and older Riley came to CalPaws K9 Rescue and was put with a foster as a young un-socialized scared pup who had issues with fear, aggression towards other dogs while on leash as well as food aggression issues. Now, with a firm but loving hand and training, she is now leash trained, and no longer shows agression while on leash. Still working on the food aggression, but she is considerably better than before. Riley loves playing with ALL her toys and also likes to play ball. Riley doesn't seem to be afraid of water (she loves Point Isabel). Riley is crate/ kennel trained and if you leave the door open she will put herself in her crate (or any crate) when she wants a break. Riley is potty trained and will tell/slow you when she has to go. She is a loving playful pup that would do well in a family that is familiar with Shepherd mix breeds and that can have a strong and firm, but loving hand to give her guidance. Due to her playfulness and her age, her foster mommy believes she would thrive better in a home either without children or older children. Riley is a pup and is playful and will still nip occasionally nip. Riley does currently live with her foster mommy's pup so a family with another dog is ok as long as the dog is good with a young playful pup and there may be some rough housing and or dominance that may occur. Riley has not been around any cats so she is untested if living with them is a option. Riley is approximately 50lbs and is fully vetted.

She is a 4 month old Pointer Shepherd mix (some of her siblings are Catahoula Leopard mixes). We suspect when fully grown she will be around 60lb. She is a very sweet girl. She loves to curl up on the couch with her foster parents and give lots of love. She loves to be a part of the family and follows her foster mom everywhere! She is still learning where to use the bathroom and is making great progress. Since she came to us off the streets of Stockton she has had little socializing with people and this will be something that will need to be continually worked on to build her confidence with new humans. She is cat, kid, and dog friendly. She sleeps very well in her crate over night or with her humans in bed. Please research this breed prior to filling out an application so you are fully informed.

Jessie..mama of the pups Jessie is sweet as can be. She is approximately 4-5 years old. Her favorite things to do are going for walks and playing with her foster sister! She walks like a pro! Not barking or pulling on leash at other dogs or people. We don’t know much about Jessie’s past, but do know she was not treated nice by a man. This is why it takes her A little time to warm up to men. For this reason the man of the household will need to have patients to earn her trust. Experience with large rescue dogs is preferred. She is a very loyal dog and pours her heart into her person. She is fully potty trained, Knows, sit, stay, wait, come, out, no, lets got for a walk, high five, and loves to give hugs! She is a very fast learner and would love to learn more tricks! She is kid, dog, and cat friendly. She has no prey drive whatsoever. if you are interested in Jessie, please review our adoption process and then fill out an online adoption form at https://www.calpaws.org/adopting-1 We do not have the resources to respond to all inquiries. show less

Adoption fees: $450 for dogs 12 months/younger, $400 for dogs 1-2 Yrs, $350 for dogs 3-5yrs, and $300 for 6yrs and older Say hello to Willow! Willow is a young Shepherd mix who came into the rescue very skittish and shut down, along with her brother, River, and she has since done a complete 180. Her foster mom says Willow is one of the sweetest, silliest pups she’s ever met. Although she is not very large (around 45 lbs), Willow is full of of personality and love. She is a huge cuddle bug and her ideal place is snuggled up right next to her person. She loves kids, and does very well with the 3 and 10 year old in her foster home. Willow plays very well with other dogs and has a lot of energy to burn, but also has a high prey drive so no cats or small animals for this girl. Willow would love another dog sibling as a playmate in her new home. She walks well on a leash with a prong collar, and is doing well with her basic obedience training. Willow is house trained. She will need continuity and consistency with her training post placement, and will do best in an active home that will have the time and availability to give her the love and attention she needs. We believe Willow is approximately 1 year old. Willow and River were brought into the shelter after their owner died. We believe they were not socialized or treated very well, so continued socializing is key! Please research this breed prior to filling out an application so you are fully informed.
