Mimi Pom Pom arrived at the shelter with her fur severely matted. Mimi went for a spa day at a local dog groomer, and now she is much more comfortable, and kinda adorable! Mimi is very friendly with people, and when she met Fred Astaire--a fellow shelter guest--Mimi was appropriate and playful. Fred Astaire suggested dancing lessons, and Mimi agreed. (Check back for our own Dancing with the Doggie Stars.) Mimi knows SIT; she SHAKES with both paws, and is comfortable hanging out in a crate in our MEET & GREET ROOM. We can't wait to get to know this lovely girl, so check back for updates!

Penny is a sweet, sweet. She LOVES to play with stuffed toys and it's easy to spend hours watching her delightful, silly fun. She is also a real love bug with people. We'd guess that her favorite spot in her forever home will be next to her person, on the couch, with a few stuffies near by. She also loves sniffing in the play yard and going for walks. She is good on a leash and very attentive. Penny is the most perfect dog to be someone's best friend!

Tilly is available for adoption at the Fort Bragg Shelter. Please email Adriana at vegaa@mendocinocounty.org or call 707-961-2491 for more information.
Mixed Breed SPAYED female, 1 year old and 54 pounds.
Update on 6/25 from her foster mom, Laura: Maya continues to make progress in her foster home. She’s now willing to go out and come in the house on her own, and has learned to sit before doing so. She loves to play, and engages the other dogs in play. She knows “sit” and “down,” and will lay on dog beds with the other dogs, not always hiding in a crate. She comes up to me looking for attention voluntarily. She is still working on her trust with humans, and I find that she does better with me when I feed her by hand. She’s also making slow progress with vehicles passing by when she’s out by the road. She had been pancaking down, but with practice, she’s been able to ignore vehicles and focus on getting treats. Her new family will have to have the patience to deal with her getting used to a new environment and routine, as well as to continue to work with her in training. She would do best in a calm household, with a mentor dog buddy. Check out the photos of Maya at the Casa de Laura. She's hanging with Laura's dogs and also Ruby, another shelter guest. Looking good, Maya!
CASA DE LAURA UPDATE: MAYA has been lucky enough to be taken under the wing of our one and only Laura--foster volunteer extraordinaire. Maya was VERY shut down when she came to the shelter, and she did not want to leave her kennel. Laura to the rescue! Maya's been at CASA DE LAURA since March 9, and Laura's been working with her, helping her feel comfortable in the big world. Here are insights from Laura: "This sweet, shy is living with 6 other dogs at the Casa. She was so scared, she would not walk. Her first few hours here, she was given plenty of TLC, and started wagging her tail. The next day she sat up briefly, and by day 3, with plenty of help and encouragement, she was able to go into the back yard with a couple of other dogs. She was still extremely scared, and only stayed out for a few minutes. It’s been a slow process of healing for Millie – we don’t know what happened to her, but she’s trying to be brave. Seven days later, Maya is able to walk around the house and the back yard, and walk out the door and back in on her own, with some of dog buddies!!! She’s still fearful, and prefers to find places to hide – a crate, the igloo, under a bush, behind the kennel – but she is responding to my voice, and is excited to come to me when other dogs are around me. She is also starting to learn to walk on a leash, with the help of some of her dog buddies here. Millie is crate trained, but I think she might have been confined to a crate, with limited human contact. She’s house broken. Her new family will have to have lots of patience with her, be gentle, and work daily with her. I feed her by hand, which is helping her develop trust with me. Millie loves belly rubs, face and full body massages, and she shows she’s happy by going into her happy dance on her bed. She wags her tail, and loves attention. A mentor dog buddy would be ideal for her."
Laura proves over and over again what can be done to help a nervous, scared dog, with patience, kindness and lots of love. THANK YOU LAURA!
Maya is a beautiful girl, and seems very sweet.She's very shy right now, and we don't know much about her. Our dedicated volunteers and staff will be spending time with Maya, and with patience and some TLC, we're sure she will gain confidence. We'll update Millie's bio as we learn about her, so please check back!

Fido Feild Trip Update: Today 6/19/19 I got to go on a fieldtrip! I got a Pupacino, that was in my opinion AMAZING, I cant wait to go out to coffee again! Then I got to go swimming, I love to swim. The car ride was so fun I couldnt wait to load up and go off to our next destination! I was taken on a long walk and then to Friedmans to get me out and about in my shnazzy vest. Come down and see me, and maybe take me out! I love being out of the shelter, hopefully it'll be for forever soon!
Fido Field Trip included a stop at Star Bucks for a Pup-a-cino
Mixed Breed female, 2 years old and 58 pounds.
Jo Jo is a shy dog who will need lots of TLC from her new family, to help her come out of her shell. Guiding a shy dog from his or her hesitancy takes patience, but it's so rewarding. At the shelter, we've seen many introverted and cautious dogs bloom--first with the extra love and care our staff and volunteers give them, and then being in a calm and caring forever home. Check back for updates on beautiful Jo Jo!
FIDO FEILDTRIP UPDATE! Today I got to go out on a fido feildtrip!While I was out I went to my new friend Alycia's house. I was a little nervous, but i made sure I was on my best behavior. I met a new feline friend and a couple Canines too. We all got along pretty good. All I really wanted to do was be a couch potato, unless I had to go out. I also got to take a walk with my new friend Nemo! I cant wait to go again.
Jo Jo loves ot ride in “her” wagon”
On Take You Dog to Work Day Jo-Jo, who was a tad camera shy, took a walk with her new friend London.. They walked over for a photo opportunity with some Ukiah Police staff. Then the two new friends went for a stroll together. This is a FIRST for Jo Jo!!
Mixed Breed SPAYED female, 2 years old and 40-ish pounds. Rosie is a compact and lovely loooking dog. She likes to play with toys and has lots of energy. Rosie rides well in a car, and she would really like a home where she can snuggle up on a couch! Rosie would like to be the only dog, but she may be OK with an energetic and social canine housemate. A meet and greet with Rosie and any potential doggie roommates is a must. Rosie's new home needs to be CAT FREE.
Fido Field Trip Update On 6/13/19 I got to go on a field trip!!! I had so much fun walking through Freidman's and making new freinds. You know the old verbage "People to see, faces to lick" well that was definitly my mission today! I met so many nice people who wanted to give me pets that I had to return the favor with loves. When we went to the park I laid down and took a nice little nap. My Field Trip guide said I was a very good dog and I am proud to say that i didnt bark once, not even when I saw a cat! I cant wait to go out again, especially if its to my new forever home. Please come down and say hi to me!

KIA is with one of our rescue partners. She is NOT at the shelter She can be met by appointment after an application is submitted. This BIG girl is playful and almost dances sometimes! Kia is easy to leash up, knows sit and loves her treats! In her former home, Kia lived with children. When Kia participated in our multi-dog play group, she reacted well around our other guests. But, Kia had problems with female dogs in her last neighborhood, and we therefore want her to meet any potential rommmates. During her photo shoot, Kia started out a little shy and aloof, and warmed up after a some minutes and showed us her playful side. At one of your rescue partners facilities. email us to have the contact you.

The apple of our eye, Apple is an easy going girl. Right now, Apple is a bit overwhelmed and shy, but we bet after going out with our volunteers, she will feel a whole lot better! Check back for updates on this sweet, young dog.
