ADOPTABLE & ADOPTED DOGS
Ikkuma: Female -Siberian Husky - 2 yrs- 55 Lbs
From Ikkuma's foster family...
Ikkuma, from the Inuit word for fire is a gentle girl despite her name. She's also a playful, affectionate, beautiful red/mahgony Husky. Unfortunately she spent her first 2 years outside in a small kennel not getting much enrichment or exposure to things but now has the freedom to roam indoors and out, play with our two other dogs, get loving from the family and lay on a soft dog bed instead of a concrete cell floor & she's taking to it like a champ. We really love having Ikkuma around here. It's been a joy to watch Ikkuma blossom into the dog she was meant to be. Watching a dog learn, explore & grow never gets old. Ikkuma is learning that the car takes her to fun places & she's almost potty trained! She will have you laughing with her fun personality & antics. She's good with dogs, super on leash, good at cafes and takes to new situations well. She's very adaptable. Anyone would be lucky to have this beauty. The mark on her nose that she came with has almost dissapperared.
Coming Soon!

Rogue & Storm: bonded siblings - Huskies 35 and 45 Lbs. - 4 years
From Rogue and Storm's foster dad...
​
These 2 are love and cuddles, have easy going natures, great on walks, good with dogs and potty and house trained. If I weren't going to be gone for 8 hours and traveling in the future, I would keep them. They've brought me so much joy and have been a surprise to how easy they've been. I'm a first time dog "dad" so I was expecting it to be more difficult, especially having 2! They have medium energy overall, are sweet and loving. Storm the black and white one is more outgoing and has fun vocalizations when he gets excited. For example, when it's time to go out or eat. Rogue the thinner one is quieter and more reserved but she's been opening up bit by bit each day. It's obvious they love one another. Both are great in the car, friendly to people and children and happy.
​
We will not be splitting up Storm and Rogue. They are true siblings from the same litter that have been together since they were born and don't like being apart. In their case having 2 dogs in easier than 1 and if they were split apart it would be traumatic for them and cause separation anxiety.
Duke: AST and Bull Terrier, 70 lbs, 4 years
Hi I'm Duke, don't let my adorable crossed eyes or battle scars scare you because I'm all mush, a lover not a fighter according to my foster mom. Anyway my scars may fade but I've already forgotten about them! I just keep getting reminded! I'm 4 years young and 70 - hunkaluv pounds. Here's what I told my foster mom to tell you about me...
Don't be fooled by my big, scarred up, jug head, I may have had it pretty rough on the mean streets recently but I'm a charmer and a lover, I love giving kisses and take treats with a soft mouth, I've heard this is a good thing so that's why I'm telling you. I love hoomans, dogs and children. I may love other things but I hold some things close to the vest - sometimes you gotta, you know? I have some scars to show from my previous life, but I've grown into a solid gentleman. I get along perfectly with my foster dog sister, Abby. She's taught me cool stuff like how to navigate scary stairs. I'm a pro now, BTW. She also let's me snuggle with her on the couch and follow her around everywhere, she's like a security blankey. I really like having her around. I love going for walks with Abby and my foster mom and I'm told I have great leash manners. I don't pull and although I like other dogs, I won't pull you towards them. I love playing with my puzzles and foraging for kibble and treats in my snuffle mat. You can see from my videos on the website that I'm pretty close to rocket scientist status at this point with that puzzle toy. I am mild mannered and medium energy or so I'm told. I don't know, I'm just me - The Duke! I'm good in the car and I'm fully house trained, how do you like them apples. I'm realizing if I listen I get yummy treats so I'm getting way better at doing what she asks of me. PLEASE keep up with the snacks if you adopt me. SNACKS ARE GOOD! I WUV them! I love sleeping in the bedroom with the family. My foster hoomans sleep on the big bed with Abby and I stay on my bed at the foot of the bed. See how well mannered I am?! I'm a very good sleeper, but I do snore a little. In the morning, I love to jump on the big bed and get snuggles and belly rubs. I'm good about going out to do my business outside, just thought I'd say that again cause I can. I can't wait to meet you, give you kisses, snuggles and show you what a good boy I am.
Bear The Husky/Malamute: 4 years old, 70 Lbs
Bear had a rough start in life. He started out with a family that wasn't prepared for him and spent the 1st year of his life in a pen indoors. After the family surrendered Bear he spent 18 months in a shelter in Bakersfield and once he was finally adopted again, the family found out they were pregnant. Luckily Bear is a good natured guy but he never spent his formative years getting the enrichment and training he needed being stuck in a pen and then in a scary confined kennel at a shelter. His last family provided him love and the happiness he never had but sadly has to let him go due to no fault of their own. We want Bear to have a family that can devote the time, love and forever home that he needs to grow old with. He'd love a home where he will have free will and open spaces. His current family says Bear is a happy 4 year old, 70 lb guy! He's good natured, loves other dogs and people and wants to be everyone's best friend. He enjoys cuddling, is excited to see his people, great in the car and potty trained. Bear is medium energy and loves his adventure and outings too. he may need to be conditioned to go on longer hikes after his younger years in confinement. He enjoys having visitors and becomes Mr social. Local photographer, Kendra Luck, of www.dogumentarian.com/ who photographed many of these wonderful photos said Bear is a sweetheart and total goofball. Bear is waiting to be the center of someones world.

Mojito: Siberian Husky, 60 Lbs, 2 years old: ADOPTED!
From Mojito's foster family...
Mojito has the sweetest most innocent face. If you watched the movie Togo, Mojito has Togo’s enthusiastic spirit, agility and desire to be with his humans. He’s smart and curious. He knows how to sit, and will take treats gently from your hand. He’s a devoted, loving and lovable boy and will bond easily given warm attention. He’s athletic and fit, and lives for his walks and hikes. He'd make a great running companion. He bounces like a pogo stick (new name, Pogo?) when it’s walk time which is pretty cute. He’s good on a leash with a normal level of pulling but doesn’t drag you down the street. Mojito has medium energy, is active and alert, likes to play, run and romp but also relaxes for post-walk naps. While we managed the interactions between our dogs for the first couple days it's not needed anymore. Mojito and my two dogs get along and play great together. Mojito also really loves my teenage children. He is house trained and good in the car. Mojito is an all around good guy looking for that special person or people to bond with. Mo is looking for an active family.
​
Tilly: Shepard - Husky - Shar Pei - 1 years -45 Lbs- ADOPTED!
Once in a blue moon a dog this special comes my way. Tilly is my foster dog and every part of my being wants to keep her because I love her so much. I'm the coordinator here at WHS and I've fostered many, many dogs over the years. This one will be the hardest to part with. I want the best for her. A little about Tilly...
​
Tilly is all heart, charming and ever so slightly shy. She's a lover with a gentle old soul in a young dogs body. Whomever ends up with Tilda will be a very lucky person. She loves men and women equally. She's truly (wo)mans best friend, a loyal dog to the end so it's sad that she has not found her person yet. I can tell she's definitely craving that and bonding hard. Then there's the fact that she's gorgeous with those sky blue eyes, framed by dark black rings that are always expressive. She's fun to hold and pet because she's squishy all over under all that fur with a grandmotherly chin like a Shar Pei yet looks like a Shepski. The details: medium energy, good in the car, potty trained, easy going, good with dogs of all sizes, good on leash and good with kids. She's not really a dog park dog but loves hiking and adventures. She's energetic outside and relaxed inside although she can get in trouble like any adolescent dog. A good long walk or run will knock her right out though for a few hours and solve that issue. She likes to cuddle while watching tv and has an independent streak. She's still young so bully sticks, squeaky toys, puzzle toys and other things to keep her occupied will be useful. BTW, she's quiet like most Huskies but you can make her howl like the video's show. A siren made her howl in the outside video. For more information send in an application. If we think you are a good fit we will reach out.
From Moki's foster mom...
Moki is a fun-loving, energetic, playful companion! He has striking bi-colored eyes, one blue and one brown. He has a short, beautiful red coat, a big smile that people always comment on, and adorable button ears that either flop down or perk up. He’s also the perfect medium size. He loves to play with other dogs and is great with both big and small pups. He loves people, both men and women equally, and will eagerly go up to humans and dogs whenever he gets a chance. (I haven’t tested him with kids or cats). Moki is quiet inside the house and medium energy, laying at my feet while I work. He likes his chew toys, bully sticks and puzzle toys and loves to play with is tug rope and plush toys. He's really just a puppy at heart with a winning personality. Moki is affectionate, loves to be pet and will roll over for belly rubs and loves to cuddle on the bed with me. He’s mostly house trained. When it’s time to go out, he gets really excited and runs to the door. Although on the smaller size, he's strong and could use some loose leash training, but he’s an incredible running companion - the Husky in him comes out and he has great stamina running my usual 4 miles no problem! Moki would be a wonderful addition for an active, outdoor adventure type family and then at the end of the day cozy up with you to enjoy the cuddly home life. He’s ready to bond with loving people and be a loyal, sweet, and entertaining fur buddy.
Moki: Boxer -Husky-Shepard- 5 years old - 50 Lbs: ADOPTED!

Rodi -Chi/Italian Greyhound - 1.5 years - 8 Lbs, ADOPTED!
Let us introduce you to this very special little guy- Rodi Blue. Rodi is 1.5 years old and 8 pounds of pure love and affection. Rodi has beautiful, piercing blue eyes and a merle coat. We think he's part Italian Greyhound and Chihuahua. He has the most adorable naked, hairless belly that feels like a babies bottom. According to Rodi's foster mom he's sweet, smart and fun, he will charm you with his "puppy", cuddly, lap dog ways. Since he's still an adolescent he has energy to burn. His favorite games are a good game of fetch and playing with his dog pals, big and small. He's a champion sleeper and napper. He likes to sleep in late and nuzzle his way under the covers to cuddle with you. He's quite kitten like in many of his habits. He's good in his crate in the car, good with people, almost fully house trained and has medium energy overall. We'd love to find him a home with a yard. That would make him happy to run and romp in but it's not a deal breaker if you don't have one. We are also looking for someone who has time to work with him since he's still young and learning. If training is a passion of yours, even better. Rodi is alert, smart and clever so things that will activate his nimble mind like puzzle toys, snuffle mats, find it games and other mind/scent challenging activities will go a long way with him. If you are looking for a spirited, spunky, fun loving, cuddly, cool looking dog then Rodi is your guy!

Koja: Wooly Husky - 65 lbs - 2 years old- ADOPTED!
From Koja's foster family...
Koja is a gorgeous Wooly Husky. He's a pure joy to be around. An all around great guy with medium energy and almost fully house trained. Koja aims to please which is a little unusual for a Husky, He loves people, kids, dogs big and small and belly rubs and is quick to roll on his back for them. He's willing to be brushed and groomed which is helpful since he's a wooly. He is well mannered and very affectionate, does well on the leash and regularly looks back to make sure we are still there. We have a 5 year old male husky rescue who Koja Loves and get along extremely well with. They enjoy playing with each other and simply hanging out. We walk them together which they also enjoy doing. Koja not only makes an fluffy pillow to lay on while watching TV but he makes a great running partner too. Koja seems pretty happy always smiling and and wagging his tail. He enjoys riding in the car and may surprise you by joining you up front because "shotgun" is his style. He is easy going and comfortable sleeping on the floor or sofa. Koja requires an active family since he's still young, he'd love to live with another friendly young dog but it's not necessary. What is necessary is that you make this dog an integral part of the family, that you love him as much as he will love you back.
Nelly: GWP/ Pudelpointer -4 years -35 lbs_ Adopted!
From Nelly's foster mom...
Nelly who is 4 years old and 35 lbs is an extremely sweet and loyal pup. She was a little shy, mild mannered and nervous initially, but has grown more confident, expressive, and playful everyday. Due to Nelly's initial timidness she expressed some appeasement behaviors like, crawling & rolling over and just being unsure. With patience and gentleness this will turn around. The true Nelly is fun loving, affectionate and sweet, placing her head in my lap, soliciting pets and wanting to cuddle in bed. She's yearning for a person to shower her with love and affection. She would love nothing more than a gentle, compassionate person or people who live in a low to medium key environment to be her family. Nelly is medium energy herself and mostly mellow indoors. Outdoors she's sporty and fun, loves a good game of ball and played a bit with my neighbors small dog without problem. Nelly is house trained. she's not destructive, she's quiet in the house while playing with her toys, balls, and chewing on her bones and chew items. Nelly lets me work while laying at my feet. She is all this and more ... she's great in the car, walks well on leash, good at meeting other dogs though initially shy and is a good running partner. she is also initially shy in meeting new people, but once she feels comfortable, she will approach to be pet. Nelly is an awesome dog and would make a wonderful addition to a family that has an active, loving lifestyle and has patience to let Nelly blossom in her own time. PLEASE _DO NOT_ MESSAGE OR EMAIL US, thank you. Instead fill out an application and if we think you are a great fit we will get back to you.
Goose Husky Mix 50 lbs - 3 years old. ADOPTED!
Goose is a 3 year old well mannered, handsome Husky mix with a beautiful parti eye and full mask.
​
From Gooses foster mom...
I absolutely love Goose! He is the most friendly, loving, playful pup! He's energetic outside while relaxed inside. He's a medium energy dog overall. He’s well mannered inside, potty trained, doesn’t actively dig into trash or jump on things he shouldn’t be on, he only gets onto the couch or bed when invited. He loves to cuddle and loves scratches! He’ll run right into you and stick his nose between your legs or the couch cushions until you pet him. His leash manners could use some brushing up but he'd make a great running buddy and activity partner. He's been good with kids on our walks. He's always ready to go outside on an adventure. Great in the car and is an infectious happy guy with a big ol' smile and tons of love to give!!
Koda: Shepski, 25 Lbs, 4.5 months old - Adopted!
Koda is a gorgeous Shepski with a pretty red, tan and apricot coat who had a Shepski mom and GSD dad. What is most striking about Koda are his unique, light eyes. Koda just lost his first molar tooth a week ago so we know he's still a teething youngster yet he's fairly big for his age. Koda is playful, loving and affectionate, he's crate trained, fully housebroken and has medium energy overall. He has recently mastered some new things like how to walk on leash, take the stairs and navigate living indoors with humans. He's great in the car with other dogs and children. He's been getting some social enrichment with other puppies and he's great with both big and small and older and younger puppies and dogs. He's a typical puppy in every sense and a great one at that. He'd love to go to a home with a young friendly dog or have lots of playdates with other pups his age.
Ava - Red Siberian Husky, 1 years old, 50 Lbs- ADOPTED!
1 year old, 50Lb Ava is a beautiful red head girl who's extremely sweet, a little bit shy initially, gentle natured with a bit of spunk. She's medium energy and like any good young Husky get's short spurts of the zoomies in the morning and evening. She's a bit clumsy and throws herself around the couch for fun. We think given time she'll be a very fun loving, outgoing dog. She'd be the perfect fit for someone with an active lifestyle, hiking, running and biking. She likes other friendly dogs and so far seems very unconcerned with children. Ava is house trained, good on leash, good in the car and a generally great dog. Anyone would be lucky to call her theirs.
Lady, Redford, Teddy & Duchess - ADOPTED!
Charlie: Husky - 1 year old, 58 Lbs: Adopted!
Charlie is a beautiful bi-eyed boy that loves to party. He's very social and outgoing, and loves to meet new people. Like many young dogs, Charlie gets excited meeting new people and dogs. With the help of tasty treats, Charlie is working on his young dog manners and learning how to greet people with a little less exuberance. After all Huskies are known as a friendly breed. Charlie is very treat-motivated, and wanting to learn. Charlie would make a great running and hiking partner. The active life would suit this guy well. He can settle well too once he's relaxed in his forever home. Charlie is social, outgoing and confident with other dogs. As soon as he meets a dog, he is ready to play. He does best with other dogs who enjoy playing as much as he does, but may be too much for more mellow or low-key dogs. As he ages and with more socialization, he will learn to play with the appropriate dogs. Charlie is looking for his person, his forever home. He's been bouncing around a lot and we would love to give him stability and his forever. If you are ready for a young active guy who can chill out too then Charlie is your guy.
​
Skye -Husky, 50 Lbs, 1.5 years- ADOPTED!
Skye is a petite, Fully masked, beautiful, soft, affectionate Siberian Husky. She's gentle with toddlers and adults alike. She enjoys dog parks, dogs and will do zoomies for days at the dog park. She would love to go to Husky meetups because she enjoys playing with other Huskies. She'll play with anyone but Huskies get her. Her Foster mom says...
Skye is great with children, she lays on the floor while my 1 year old 'chats' with her and tickles her ears. She loves to chase a ball or toy up and down our hallway and will sometimes do it in the park maybe 3 or 4 times until she gets distracted - typical non obsessive Husky personality. She is a giant love bug, she likes to snuggle up under your armpit and will lay while you rub her belly, scratch her bum or her ears. She sometimes jumps on the bed and will nuzzle up under the pillow. She is low key inside and high energy outside, wants to sniff everything, wants to say hello to every dog she passes. She enjoys our yard and will hang out in it for long periods of time to ponder life. She is fantastic in the car, we give her some bully sticks to keep her busy. She just lays down in the back. She was terrified of the river at first but by the third day on our camping trip she swam across like a champ (on leash of course) She's almost fully housebroken. We would keep her if we could, that's how much we love this sweet natured girl but unfortunately we are maxed out with a child and another dog. Breed experience.
​
Lucas, 2.5 years old, 70-lbs: ADOPTED!
Lucas is smart, sweet and affectionate big boy. He's medium energy, independent and housetrained! What more could you want? We'll I can give you more! He stays off furniture, loves his dog bed and is good with dogs both big and small. He's a leaner, a bit of a goof and cuddler, practically a lap dog. He'd probably prefer to be an only child and doted on. Lucas was definitely hit with objects and a hand in last life so we are looking for someone who is going to show him the consistency of a gentle guiding hand he never got. No cats, Kids over 10
Jaxton: 1.5 years, 60 Lbs: Adopted!
Jaxton is a 1.5 year old, 60 Lb, striking beauty. He's great with kids, cuddly and affectionate and is good with dogs too. He's learning the leash and enjoying going for walks. He'd make a great running partner and is good in the car. He's pretty mellow indoors, has a fairly easy going nature but he's a Houdini meaning until he is finally settled and happy in his home he's the great escape artist. We will be looking for a walk up or very secure fencing for this guy. If you are interested please fill out an application but please respect the fact we are not getting back to emails at this time. Thank you.
Nya - Husky Mix - 3 months - 15 Lbs - ADOPTED!
Nya is a 3 month old, sweet, playful, crate trained, medium energy puppy who's not potty trained yet. She was part of a confiscation case and has never learned how to walk on leash, navigate stairs, share with others or fully trust a human or dog. She has a lot to learn with the right person who will gently guide her and teach her about life, build her into a confident girl who she can call her person. She picks up behaviors and tricks quickly with the right food motivation. Human food to be exact. Not as into dog food grade treats, who can blame her. She's already learned how to navigate the stairs and is learning the doggie door now. Update: learned the doggy door! She'd do best as an only dog. Although she likes dogs and enjoys playing with them, she doesn't look to dogs for guidance but instead sees them as competition to her valuable resources whether that be you or her food and water. If she does go into a home with another dog then you will be required to hire a certified trainer from our list of trainers. That way you and Nya will learn how to nip the resource guarding in the bud while she's young and small. She's a beauty with her brown coat and blue and green eye. We want to see her grow up to her full potential so we'll be looking for just the right person or people.
Zoe: Shepski -2 years old, 45 Lbs Adopted!
Zoe is a sweet, petite, bi eyed, medium energy Husky mix who came from a confiscation case with 8 other dogs from one home to a high kill shelter. They were half starving & scared. In just a few short days she's come such a long way. She's great with other dogs, house trained, easy in the car, makes a great running partner, not fearful of the outside world and loves working for treats. From her foster mom...
Zoe is a sweet as sugar, 40 lb, very pretty, affectionate, medium energy Husky mix who's slightly shy but warms up quickly. She is happy whether on a walk or lounging around the house. She is a very manageable size with a striking eye color combination of blue sky and light brown. She’s fully house-trained! Yay! Her foster family is working at home, so she roams from room to room to check in throughout the day giving kisses and wags and then curls up for a nap on her bed. Zoe gets along with the foster family’s Shepski and is great on leash and eager to meet new dogs out on walks. She'd make a great running buddy. She catches on to tricks and behaviors very quickly and wants to please you. With just a few days of training she learned to “sit” and “lie down.” This is an easy, mellow dog especially for being a Husky mix. Anybody would be lucky to call her their own. A home with another young friendly dog would be great but not necessary.
Eliz AKA Ellie: Shepski 40 lbs 2 years old-Adopted!
Eliz is a petite, gentle, calm Husky mix who's house trained, easy to live with and great with other dogs. She rides well in a car, has the softest mouth when taking a treat and has the most beautiful coat ever. She's mellow inside and full of energy outside so she'd make a great couch buddy to running partner. She had been a mama to the pup pictured here and was confiscated from a hoarders household so she's ready for some 1 on 1 attention and love.
From Eliz's foster mom...
Ellie is a curious, attentive, sweet Husky mix who greets any human or dog with gentle kisses. She has a gorgeous soft coat. What makes her stand out the most is her enchanting eyes. One is crystal blue, while the other one is green. She loves to go on walks, is leash-trained, and would also make a great running partner. She can be very active outdoors, however indoors she is quite mellow and calm. Ellie is extremely friendly and rarely barks. She has been playful with every dog encountered on walks. Ellie is a cuddle bug but a little shy at first. She quickly warms up though. Another bonus is that all signs point toward her already being house-trained. She gets along extremely well with my older senior Golden Retriever. She likes to cuddle up next to any human or dog near her.
All 4 dogs Adopted!

HAYES: Siberian Husky - 2 years - ADOPTED!
From Hayes foster family:
We can't say enough good things about Haye's. Hayes is amazingly calm for a Siberian Husky. He's potty trained, loving, easy going, medium energy guy who loves children, car rides and long walks. He has good leash skills, is friendly with all dogs and gets attached to his person. Hayes knows some tricks like paw, high five, and sit, he's gentle and polite.

Camille: Labrador/Pitty Mix - 2 years old - 50 LBs: Adopted!
Camille has been through a lot in her short 2 years of life. We just took her off the euthanasia chopping block only an hour before euthanasia. She was brutally attacked all over her body by another dog while at the shelter. To live through that and then to be put to sleep - we couldn't let that happen, not when she is such a sweetheart! Her wounds are healing nicely and she's no longer on medication. She would love a soft place to land forever. She's a calm, fun-loving and happy dog that gets on well with other dogs despite her injuries, as a matter of fact she loves them. She loves us humans too. She's playful and has energy but would also enjoy curling up on the couch with you to watch the game while getting cuddles.
From her foster family: Camille deserves the absolute best, she's a darling, innocent dog, She is deserving of a family that will give her so much love. She's extremely forgiving, calm, cute, affectionate, housebroken, great with dogs, would love to live with another young friendly dog since she's ready to play, she's easy, settles well has medium energy, is happy and one of the best dogs I've known. I would adopt her in a heartbeat if I didn't already have a dog & could afford it. She deserves everything! She's a bright spark.
NIKKI - 1.5 year old Shepski 50 Lbs- adopted!
From Niiki's foster family:
Nikki is a clever girl who has a positive attitude, she's affectionate and outgoing with both dogs and humans alike, that goes for kids too. She loves to play, and enjoys outdoor adventures such as walks, hikes and like most Huskies Nikki makes a great running partner. She arrived with no experience on leash but is walking and running like a pro now. She's a quick learner in most things. She's house trained and great in the car. Nikki loves playing with her stuffed toys, puzzle toys and chewing on bones which are good mental/physical activities While she has some energy, she’s is a champion napper and can hang out on the couch with us while watching a TV program and enjoys a good ol' fashioned tummy rub. She has basic knowledge of commands like sit, down, stay and is treat-motivated, so she loves to practice. She is potty trained but so far prefers to go in the yard rather than while she’s walking. So a yard would be a good thing. Nikki would love to be in a home with another dog or get some dog park time. Overall Nikki would make an active family very happy with her cheerful, fun and sweet natured ways. If you are interested we are not responding to inquiries at this time so instead please fill out the application, https://www.welcomehomesanctuary.org/adoption-application Thank you.

RABBIT: 5.5 months old: ADOPTED!
From 1 day of fostering...
Rabbit Rabbit is a ridiculously cute 5 & 1/2 month old pup with the sweetest most innocent eyes. She seems potty trained and knows how to sit. She has not been in a crate at all and has not gone potty in the house. She also hasn't put anything in her mouth that wasn't food or a toy and hasn't jumped on the counters or gotten into anything, it doesn't mean she wont but in one day that hasn't happened. She loves the couch and being on furniture in general. We've learned that she likes to play with toys and chase lizards and is great with dogs. She is interested in the cats but in a nice playful way. She was licking Loki the cat so I'm sure she will be totally fine with cats. Rabbit seems to be medium energy because although she loves to play and run around - she settles down well. I could see someone easily falling in love with her.
FREYA -6 year old German Shepard Dog: Adopted!
Freya is a 6 year old, very good girl. She's potty trained, a good watch dog, sweet, loves a good game of fetch, walks well on leash but is excited to see the other leashed dogs at this time. She's not so much into the whole social distancing thing, but hey, who is?! She can be full of energy and calm when you need her to be, she likes a good bully stick and puzzle toy to stimulate her clever and active mind. She could use some consistent love, a healthy diet to add a few pounds and bring back her gorgeous coat to its full luster. Freya would make a great companion for anyone looking for a well trained dog who still has lots of spunk in her.

Mia - 3 year old Husky -55 Lbs- ADOPTED!
Mia is super sweet, friendly, and beautiful. She gets compliments from strangers and friends alike! She's well-mannered in the house and is happy to curl up on a rug or dog bed nearby while you work or watch TV. She's a champion napper, kid lover and quiet dog. Mia sleeps soundly through the night on her own bed. She is polite and has pretty good impulse control so never tries to get on our furniture or steal our food. Mia is new to the city and still getting used to all the stimulation that city life has to offer. She's interested and a little insecure about all the sights and sounds on the street. Because of this she's a little distracted at the beginning of a walk but soon will settle down. She is a great running buddy and enjoys our morning runs! Mia is treat-motivated and a smart girl; her leash manners and sitting are improving after just a few days of training. She's gentle and friendly with all people and dogs she meets and doesn't jump or bark. We have heard she's not good with cats. She is mostly potty-trained and we're continuing to reinforce good behavior. This sweet and energetic girl would make a great addition to an active family that can continue building her general confidence.
ALL 3 ADOPTED!

Dexter - 2.5-3 years old Shepski: Adopted!
Dexter is a goofy, affectionate gentle giant who's playful, smart, inquisitive, fun and spunky. He's great with kids and all dogs. He loves his dog park time so we are looking for a person who likes to attend them. He's a big guy weighing in at about 100Lbs and his leash skills could still use some polish. He's fully potty trained but not crate trained. He's still a big puppy so we are looking for a home either with children over 8 years of age or a child free household. He's a typical GSD in that he is protective of his home. He may bark at your guests upon arrival but settles down quickly. He's treat motivated so it's something that can be worked on. He loves all the dogs at his foster families so a home with another friendly dog buddy to live with would be ideal for him. if you are interested in this handsome guy please fill out an application. Thanks!
Muñeca GSD Mix - 2.5 years- Adopted!
Video of Muñeca with 10 year old Josie
Muñeca means doll in Spanish and that's exactly what Muñeca is - she's a doll. She's sweet, gentle, loving, affectionate, well trained and a good listener. She's great on leash and in the car. She's potty trained and will stand or lay by the door when she needs to go out. Muñeca can be a little cautious of strangers and could benefit from a household with another dog who's more confident in teaching her that strangers aren't so bad. We'd like to find her a home where the energy level isn't too high and with a person who will patiently, compassionately and gently love her. Muñeca can be a little bit of an escape artists so a home with a secure fence is a must. She'd do best in a home without cats, small animals or children. She's good with children but a household full of friends might be too much for her. If interested in sweet, Muñeca please apply here, https://www.welcomehomesanctuary.org/adoption-application Video of Muñeca with another dog https://youtu.be/3fztOsEr00k
Mila Shepski 55 Lbs- ADOPTED!
Mila and Nikita are 2 female beauties who came to us from the Martinez shelter where we were able to save their lives on the day they were to euthanized. Their foster can't believe these two sweethearts were even at a shelter because they are so deserving of a home. We'd love to adopt these two very sweet girls together as they have a tight knit bond and were found as strays together, but we will adopt them out separately too if we must. Both are friendly and affectionate, love a good car ride and going on adventures. They are good with other dogs and both enjoy playing. Mila is more mellow while loving where Nikita is loving and full of energy. Huskies and Shepski's make great running partners for active families. Mila is 4 and Nikita is 2. Experienced adopters only without cats or kids as we don't know how they are with either. If interested in making these girls part of your family, please fill out the adoption application.
Lucy - 1 year - Adopted!
Lucy is a beautiful 1 year old, 55 Lb Shepski with amber eyes and a gorgeous coat. She loves people, dogs, car rides, hiking and adventure. She'd love a home with an active family who will keep up with her age and energy because she's like a big puppy.
Lucy's foster mom says Lucy has some things she'd like to say..
Okay so look, this isn't my 1st time around the block. You can call me Lucy from the block or LuLu. I'll respond to either. I was previously owned or ignored as I like to call it, so now I'm looking for someone who will shower me with love and attention. But not actually shower me because I'm not a Golden Retweever or Lab so I don't naturally take to water. Anyways I'm getting off twack. I'm just gonna list the things I like and you can tell me if you like them too because if you do we may be a perfect match! I like dowgs, do you like dowgs? I'm guessing you do or you wouldn't be here, LOL. I like to pway with dowgs. I like car rides, hiking, the beach is so fun and I like jogging with my foster mom. She's told me I'm an excellent running partner. She's also told me I need a little twaining on leash when walking. I don't know what she means, I just get so excited when I see a dowg because I want to go pway with the dowg. I don't think she gets it because she never lets me go pway. I enjoy our walks tho and get even more excited when we get home so I can then chew on my meaty bone. After that I like to snooze for a couple hours. All that physical and mental activity is exwhausting. My foster mom says I settle well for a young dog as long as I've had some activity and things to chew on. I confess, I had an accident when I first got to my foster moms place. I was confused and didn't understand the rules or if I was ever going to be in the outside world again and so I pee pee'd. Just a little tho. My mom started taking me out consistently and giving me treats whenever I peed outside which was awesome and I started to get it, so after that one time I didn't piddle inside again - pinky swear. I wuv my foster mom but I'm looking for something more permanent. Someone who will commit to me for the 1st time in my young life. I'm also looking for an active home. I'd love a running buddy, a dog pal or not and someone who might take me on great adventures. Pwease think about whether you are ready because I know I am. Last thing I'll put out there is, I'm cool with it if you snore.
So all in all Lucy is a great girl, happy, loving and affectionate, good with dogs, people, and children though a bit rambunctious for them but means well. She loves car rides, adventures and is almost fully housebroken. She'll need some training just because she's still young but she's turning into a fine young dog. We will be adopting to a home without cats and children over the age of 10.
If you think Lucy is a good fit for your lifestyle, please fill out a adoption application
AJA AND DRACO! Shepard/Husky- 50-60 Lbs -Adopted!
Aja and Draco are a bonded pair. A mother and son team that we'd like to keep together. Sometimes 2 are easier than one because they can keep each other company. They are built in companions for one another while you are away that already get along together. This duo are best friends. Their owner was deported and had to surrender his dogs. Asia and Draco are loving, gentle, sweet dogs. Asia the mom is a 3 year old striking beauty who's bi-eyed with a shiny black and white coat and permanent grin. Her son, Draco is 1 years old and looks almost entirely like a beautiful Husky. They enjoy playing with one another and sleeping together. They walk well on leash and don't display any leash reactivity towards other dogs. They both get on well with other dogs but Draco is a little afraid of dog parks because he's not been around that many dogs at once. He'll come around with enough socialization. Asia is fully housebroken and will signal that she has to potty by going to the door. Draco will learn potty manners from his mom very quickly. Both dogs are good with toddlers but could knock a child over while they are playing so we recommend a home with children over the age of 7. We would prefer not to split these two up. They had been separated, Draco cried for a week while they were apart. If you have it in your heart to open your home to 2 dogs they will be so forever grateful and we will be too. If interested in making these tow a part of your family, please fill out the adoption application.
TRIPP - 4 YEARS OLD: Adopted!
Tripp is a beautiful full bred, 4 year old, 85lb German Shepard. He's been well cared for, has a shiny coat and is in excellent health. He is great with dogs and people. He walks well on leash and does not display leash reactivity. He's young and playful and aching for human companionship. His last foster said he was a wonderful dog. Tripp is not used to confined spaces so crates and single rooms are not for him. He'd love a home with a yard and the ability to get in and out as the outdoors is his favorite place to be. A condo or walk up would not be ideal. Although he is good with kids and senior dogs he'd be a little too much for them. We'd love to find him an active family. Tripp will need gentle loving, guidance to reach his full potential. He's 90% there. He is still learning how to do some things that most dogs take for granted like get into cars and navigate stairs. He's come a long way on the stairs but will still need some training with the car. Tripp will athe a loyal and loving companion to his forever family.
