German Shepherd Dog female, 10 months old and 47 pounds
Heidi is a shy girl who will need an owner with experience handling under-socialized and timid dogs. We think once Heidi is comfortable and confident with her surroundings, she will be a completely different dog—something we have witnessed over the years at the shelter. Heidi is treat motivated, mellow indoors and would probably love a good snuggle session on the couch with her new guardian. Stay tuned for updates as we get to know Heidi.
Male, Pit/ Bulldog mix, 2 years old and 63 pounds
Froggy is a big, fun guy with lots of energy! This lug loves toys, water and long walks- though he does pull a little on leash. Froggy will need basic obedience, daily exercise and leash training to ensure he is the BEST boy in his new home. Due to his high energy, we recommend older children. Froggy also has a bit of a pray drive, so no small animals for this guy.
Mixed Breed NEUTERED male, 50 very handsome pounds
Perkins was found wandering around alone on Perkins Street in Ukiah, on one of those very hot Mendo days. A concerned citizen brought him indoors and gave him water and food. We were told that he was VERY well mannered indoors—even though he was in a strange place with unknown people. At the shelter we learned that Perkins loves to spend time with his person. If you’re walking around, he will be right at your side. If you’re sitting, he will plop down by your feet. Perkins is well mannered on-leash and sure enjoys his walkies! Along with being well behaved indoors, Perkins likes to surround himself with toys, sitting amongst them happy as can be! Perkins tested positive for heartworm, and we have begun his treatment, which means limited exercise for several weeks.

UPDATE: Our Dog Whisperer volunteer, Jon, has been spending time with Wiggles--lucky girl! Here's what Jon told us: Wiggles is dubious dobie, in that although unmistakably in part, she is likely mixed with something merle, such as Heeler. I have gone to visit her every day this week, and she’s a dreamboat. Very shy at first-the way she copes is to wag with full fury—-but warms up in a short time. This sweetheart is very affectionate and affiliative. So eager to be friends and make a good impression, she would be very easy to train." Don't wait another minute--get in your vehicle and come meet this wonderful dog! Wiggles is spayed, so she's ready to trot out the shelter doors and wiggle right into your heart! And THANK YOU, JON, for your unending dedication!
Wiggles is an action-packed, fun dog who would do best in an active home. Wiggles knows how to walk on leash and enjoys getting out to explore, meet people and other dogs, and learn about new and different surroundings. Wiggles will need introductions to any potential canine housemates, as she can be barkey when meeting a new dog.
Mixed breed male, 8 months old and 48 adorable pounds
Romeo is a typical, happy go-lucky, young dog. He loves to play with toys and was eager to meet another dog during his behavior evaluation. Romeo will need to learn doggie manners and would definitely benefit from basic obedience and leash training. (Ask us about canine classes in the Ukiah area) This handsome guy would make a great addition to any family.
Pittie mix, male, 2 years old and 90 happy pounds.
Bubba is a super happy, bowling ball-in-a-china-shop-guy! He loves to meet new people and was very excited when introduced to a fellow shelter dog. Bubba is strong and energetic. He knows sit but will need some leash work and basic obedience. Bubba has a bit of a prey drive and will need a home without small animals. Another canine roommate/friend would be awesome!
Herding Dog female, 2 years old and 54 stunning pounds.
Sky is a sweet dog who is a bit overwhelmed being a guest at the shelter. She’s shy but wants to connect with people. Sky is easy to walk on leash and enjoys being outside. She has good indoor manners and settles nicely. This delightful young girl likes to cuddle up with her toys surrounding her…when she’s not carrying them all around! Sky might enjoy various canine activities like obedience or agility.
Mixed Breed female, 10 months old and 46 sweet pounds.
How 'bout some photos of delightul CHERRY! Here she is out and about with one of our wonderful volunteers!
Cherry can be a little shy with new people, but is very sweet as well. Cherry will do best with a guardian who has the time and experience to work with a shy dog, helping her to build up confidence. We don’t think it will take long for Cherry to become a confident, secure companion, ready to be your best buddy.
Boxer, male, 3 years old and 60 cute pounds.
Rocky is a happy-go-lucky boy! He walks well on leash, and already knows sit. During his meet and greet and evaluation, Rocky tested well with a female dog guest. We think Rocky would make a good pet for any family. And seriously—who could possibly pass on this bundle of cuteness??!!!
Mixed Breed female, 1 year old and 56 gorgeous pounds
Sharpie has the personality of a large puppy. If you’re looking for a walking partner, Sharpie is your girl! Sharpie loves getting out in the great wide world, and being in on adventures and meeting new people. Sharpie has good indoor manners and likes to be with her people. Sounds pretty great, dontcha think?!
Mixed Breed NEUTERED male, 5 years old and, uh…133 pounds!!
George ended up at the shelter through no fault of his own. He was a beloved member of the family until his owner passed. George is mellow indoors and he is house trained. He walks nicely on leash and enjoys going for walks. This sweet dog knows sit and shake. Mr. G needs to shed some pounds, and he’s looking for an exercise partner to help him lose some weight!
Mixed Breed male, 1 year old and 57 handsome pounds
PACINO UPDATE! Mr. Pacino went on a Fido Field Trip with one of our volunteers! Here what she told us: Pacino is such a sweetheart. He appears to be potty trained. He loved the car ride, and loves his toys! Pacino really likes men, and he’s a lover. He's a typical bulldog and can be stubborn if he doesn’t want to go where you want him to— he thinks he is calling the shots! Pacino has a high prey drive and it would take some time and patience for him to get used to a kitty. He is a doll and he’s smart.
Pacino was brought to the shelter by an Animal Protection officer. You can see that he has lots of scars that look like he was in a dog fight. We found Pacino to be very friendly and outgoing with people. With other dogs he was not reactive but also not trusting. Pacino will have to meet any potential dog housemates. Pacino walks nicely on leash and enjoys going for walks.
