Maybel (Hughson)

Maybel (now Ginny) is living the good life! I realized, coming from Ohio, she is a 'flat-lander' dog, but she conquered hiking at 9000 ft elevation great - just needed a brief swim in the lake to cool her off! We love Ginny; she is the perfect fit for our family (we just have to convince Cassie, our traumatized PBGV-terrier rescue, that Ginny is her new best friend... they mostly get along, but get into scuffles occasionally).

Padoo

6 years ago, we adopted Baloo (new name given upon adoption) from GGBR. He has been an incredible addition to our family in so many ways, I can't name them all! He's a great brother to our other bassets, cats, & birds. He now loves everyone & every dog & cat. I always say he's running for mayor, as he must greet/meet everyone who crosses his path! In January this year, he became a Canine in Therapy for Valley Humane and loves his new job! We'd love to clone him as he is perfect in every way! He will be 9 years young this August! Thank you for choosing us as his parents!! (posted 16 June 2026)

Miss Scarlett (Lodi)

I was once called Miss Scarlett, but my new parents dropped the "Miss," so now I'm simply Scarlett. I've settled in comfortably with Barbara, my roommate, and we enjoy exploring the creek together. Even though I must stay on a leash, Barbara often roams freely since she knows the area well. My favorite toy is a squeaky mallard that my dad tosses for me. I fetch it, bring it back, and we play tug-of-war until I finally let him win just so we can repeat the game over and over. Cozying up next to Barbara on one of the many beds scattered around the house is something I love. At bedtime, I always get a treat before curling up in my crate in my parents room, falling asleep, and dreaming about tomorrows adventures.

Tulip (Red Bluff)

I just sent along a small donation in honor of Tulips 2-year gotcha day, which we celebrated on February 26! She is such a wonderful addition to our pack. Sarah and I are so grateful to everyone at GGBR for giving us the chance to love her. She is one of the kindest, gentlest souls we have had the privilege of knowing. She literally starts and ends every single day wagging her tail. We are so happy to give her the best home we possibly can. Thank you again for entrusting us to make her part of our family! All our best, Sarah, Chris, Rocky, Tulip, and Jethro

Daisy (Sacramento)

I have never had a dog who acclimated so well and so fast. Daisy is like the missing puzzle piece for our family. She is the perfect playmate to Jeff AND Max. Just yesterday, the three of them spent an hour chasing each other around the yard. She is a hugger, a snuggler, and just a sweet, huge teddy bear. Thank you for getting her to us. Daisy is just perfect. Laura, March 2026
