Lars Lars is loving it here, and we love him! He has especially enjoyed wrestling with, chasing, and snuggling with his sister, Poppy.--Paige P, Washougal, WA (Lars adopted Sept2024)
Sugar (Sutter) Sugar (nka Daisy Mae) has an updated photo here for you. She is eating well and has put on 3 pounds and a lot of muscle from her daily early morning and early evening walks with her dog family which consists of her mom and dad and two older male dogs, Bracken Dante and Mr. Cooper whom she loves dearly. A typical day for Daisy Mae is to get mom up for her early morning walk at 7AM. This is a sniffing walk around our neighborhood. Daisy has 2 dog boyfriends, Ben and Rugar, and three dog girlfriends, Lucy & Luna, and little Rosie who live in our neighborhood. Daisy Mae loves to have play dates with some of them when they are available. The highlight of our morning walks is when Rugar gets to come out to see her. This is her favorite boyfriend! They have fallen in love with each other to the point we call Rugar's human mom her mother-in-law. Ha! When Daisy gets home from her morning walk she waits for dad and the boys to wake up, then she and dad give each other what we call 'lovies'. Then Daisy does some zoomies around our wrap around deck, backyard and up and down the couches in our living room. We laugh at how cute she is when she does this. Then she suns herself on our front deck, eats her breakfast and takes a nap. This is her daily routine she likes to stick to. Daisy loves to go to family and community socials/BBQ's on occasion where young children come up to her to say, "hi" and where we allow her to have a hot dog, hamburger or a piece of tri-tip meat which are commonly on the menu. Daisy and I, her mother, have grown very close and she loves and trusts me. I am the main person she checks in with and we sleep close together. She has a loving relationship with her dad as well. Adopting Sugar aka Daisy Mae has filled our hearts with love and joy as she completes our family. We all look forward to having many happy years together! Thank you GGBR for choosing us to adopt Sugar aka Daisy Mae! We will continue to make sure she is well cared for and loved in a way that makes her happy!!--Jon and Melanie, Arnold, CA, 03Sep2024 (Adopted May 28, 2024)
Lady (Ceres) Daisy (formerly named Lady, pictured at left in the photo) has been a joy from the minute we welcomed her into our home. She gained a big brother, Bentley, and they love each other! We've had a lot of adventures to show her just how great life is, which include her first Pup Cup at Peet's Coffee, being a part of our dog park pack of 15 at our local dog park, adventures all over San Francisco, trips to the Napa Valley, festivals in SF and her first SF Giants baseball game for Dog Days at the park. She loves attention and she and her brother get a lot of it when we're out and about, but what she loves most is coming home, racing upstairs to grab her stuffed lamby and settling in for a night at home, snuggled on the couch with us. She is perfect in every way! We're so grateful to GGBR for the opportunity to adopt her. She is living her best life and will continue to with her forever family!--Michelle Hunter, San Francisco, 08Jul2024. (Adopted 31Jan2024)
Rocky (Turlock) We changed Rocky's name to Wilbur. As you can see from the picture I sent, Wilbur just completed level 1 obedience 6 week training class. We signed him up for level 2 class in August. Wilbur is doing well, he is very energetic young male basset hound. Also a very smart basset hound. We are enjoying having him. We are taking him camping this July for 1 week. Wilbur is definitely keeping us busy with all his energy. --D.D., 26June2024, (adopted 02Mar2024)
Drax Drax is amazing! He is fitting right into the pack! He's the baby with Peaches being 3 and Tank and Diego being 5. They all have such great energy and keep each other entertained. I think a home with multiple dogs is exactly what he needed! He does not like going to the vet or having his feet touched. We take him to the groomer with the other babies every 4 weeks. He loves the bath. Hates the nail trim! He is very protective of his family, his pack (to include my daughter and his mom and dad). He LOVES affection! Espcecially licking! We joke that we need to get him a licker license! The other babies are super protective of him. When they are all at the groomers and they take them one on one to the bath, the babies cry and whine when Drax is out of their eyesight. He travels extremely well in the car. He is such a good baby! I am forever grateful for the opportunity to be his mom!--Amy S., Carson City, NV 26Jun2024_(adopted 31Dec2023) Click a letter to find an animal or view all.
