PEPPA

Female, large breed mix, 8 years old and 75 pounds

Peppa is a big-hearted, big-bodied sweetheart who’s ready to waddle her way right into your life (and probably your couch). This mellow lady is all about the slow life — gentle walks, cozy naps, and plenty of belly rubs are her idea of a perfect day. She’s had another doggie roommate before and did great, so she’d likely enjoy a calm companion or a relaxed household that matches her chill vibes. Peppa does have some mobility issues due to her weight, but that doesn’t stop her from soaking up love and attention like a pro.

If you’re looking for a low-energy, affectionate best friend who’s happy just being near you, Peppa might be your perfect match. She’s sweet, snuggly, and has a heart as big as her smile. 💕

✨ Adopt Peppa — because every slow stroll deserves a loyal, loving partner! ✨

With a little time, encouragement, and some secure fencing for her safety, Dixie will reward you with loyalty, love, and quiet companionship. She’s the kind of girl who may start out timid but ends up being your most devoted friend. 💕

RUSTY

Male, mixed breed, 1 year old and 45 pounds

✨ Likes: Toys (all of them), new friends (two-legged AND four-legged), and spontaneous zoomie sessions.
🙅 Dislikes: Sitting still for too long (life’s too short!).
📚 Currently working on: Basic obedience… because apparently “sit” means more than just a suggestion.

Rusty is that goofy best friend who always brings the fun. He’s the life of the party, the toy hoarder, and the zoomie champion rolled into one freckle-faced package. Friendly with people and pups alike, he’s looking for an active family who appreciates a little chaos, a lot of love, and doesn’t mind dog hair as an accessory.

If you’ve got energy to spare and toys to share, Rusty’s ready to steal your heart (and maybe your squeaky ball). 💕🐾

COURTESY POST

Annie was found dumped in a Willits neighborhood where she stayed for about a month, being fed by a couple neighbors. She was picked up and went to foster care on July 22.2025, and has been thriving since! She's about a year old, and 40 lbs. Her paws are dainty, so she probably won't get to more than 45 lbs. She's fully vetted, is crate trained, housebroken, knows sit, shake, down, and loves to play! She's very sweet, and really wants to please. Oh, and she loves belly rubs. She's available for adoption through Animal Rescue of Anderson Valley. Call Laura at 391.4043, and leave a message.

COLT

Male, cattle dog mix, 8 months old as of 9/25/25 and 38 pounds

Colt isn’t just a puppy—he’s a full-throttle, four-pawed adventure machine wrapped in fur. This energetic cattle dog mix is built for action, brains, and zoomies that could qualify for Olympic tryouts. He’s looking for a home that can keep up with his big personality and bigger energy needs. Think: daily exercise, training sessions, and someone who appreciates a good set of puppy teeth (because Colt is a bit mouthy—no tiny humans, please).

Colt is still figuring out his doggy manners and will need slow introductions to new canine friends. But with patience, structure, and plenty of toys, this boy will shine brighter than a disco ball at a rodeo. If you’re ready to invest in the “puppy project of a lifetime,” Colt is ready to reward you with laughs, loyalty, and a whole lot of love.

CHUCK

Male, large breed mix, 1 year old and 64 pounds

About Me: Hi, I’m Chuck. I like long runs in the yard, stealing tennis balls, and pretending I don’t know what “sit” means (I totally do, I just like to keep you guessing). I’ve got energy for days, but don’t worry—once I’ve zoomed around a few times, I turn into a very good boy who just wants cuddles and playtime.

Fun Facts:
• I believe gravity is optional. (Got fences? Better make them tall!)
• I’m fluent in “wiggle butt” and “slobbery kisses.”
• I will 100% photobomb your family pictures.

Turn-Ons:
✅ Tall, secure fences
✅ Active humans who like adventure
✅ Treats (lots of them)
✅ Belly rubs after playtime

Turn-Offs:
❌ Boring days with no fetch
❌ Tiny fences (challenge accepted)
❌ People who don’t appreciate zoomies

So… what do you say? Swipe right on Chuck and get ready for the best mix of chaos, comedy, and cuddles you’ve ever had. 💕

RIDGE

Male, mixed breed, 6 years old and 46 pounds

Ridge is a spry, active senior with plenty of pep in his step and a zest for life! Weighing in at 46 pounds, this sweet guy may have a little gray on his muzzle, but don’t let that fool you — he’s still got plenty of adventures left in him. Ridge is incredibly food-motivated, which makes training a breeze! He’s still polishing up his leash manners and could use a refresher on basic obedience, but he’s a quick learner and eager to please (especially if snacks are involved!). He had a nice intro with another dog here at the shelter, showing friendly and appropriate behavior. Ridge may enjoy a calm canine companion, but he’ll need to be fed separately, as he prefers to keep his meals to himself.

If you’re looking for a loyal buddy who’s the perfect mix of seasoned soul and playful spirit, Ridge could be your guy. Come meet him and see if he’s the perfect addition to your pack! 🐶❤️
