LUNA

Female, German Shepherd, 2 years old and 70 pounds

Luna is a 2-year-old German Shepherd with a heart made of sunshine and fur that somehow always ends up on your clothes (she calls it “sharing the love”). This girl lives for people—she wants to be part of everything you do. Cooking dinner? She’s your sous chef. Watching TV? She’s your cuddle buddy. Folding laundry? Well, she might unfold it again just to keep things interesting. Luna has a special gift for making everyone feel like her favorite person, and honestly… you probably are. She’s also happy to meet other dogs and loves having a playmate, but her real passion is being around her humans.

If you’re looking for a loving, goofy, people-obsessed best friend who will stick to you like Velcro (and make every day brighter), Luna’s your girl! 💛

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! ✨

DIXIE

Around other dogs, she really shines — her tail wags faster, her eyes light up, and you can see her confidence bloom! A doggy friend could be just the thing to help her feel brave and loved.

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. 💕

She’s got it in spades. Candy Corn is the kind of pup who will make you smile every single day with her goofy antics and loving nature.

COURTESY POST

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.

EASY DAY

18 year old retired racehorse

Easy Day is an 18-year-old retired racehorse with a heart as soft as her name suggests. She left the track at age 5 and has spent her post-racing years enjoying a quieter life. While we don’t have details about her past training, she’s affectionate, loves attention, and especially enjoys being groomed- she’ll happily stand for a good brushing session.

She has mild ringbone in her left hind leg, but our vet believes she’s still suitable for light riding. Easy Day would thrive in a calm, patient environment with someone who understands horses and can offer her consistency and care.

Note: She can be difficult to load into a trailer, so she’ll do best with an experienced handler who can work with her gently and confidently.

If you’re looking for a sweet companion with a lot of love to give, Easy Day might be your perfect match.

Interested? Call Amy at 707-671-4128 to learn more or schedule a visit. You can also go to mendoanimalshelter.com to submit an adoption application.

BETTY

Female, shar-pei mix, 5 years old and 65 pounds

Betty is a quiet soul with the softest eyes and the gentlest heart. Found abandoned, underweight, and suffering from skin issues, this 5-year-old girl has already been through so much. But thanks to some much-needed care and kindness, Betty is finally starting to heal — both inside and out. She’s still learning that people can be good and that the world doesn’t have to be so scary. Right now, she’s a bit shy and reserved, preferring to observe from a safe distance as she takes everything in. But with time, patience, and a calm environment, we know she’ll blossom into a loyal, loving companion. We’re still getting to know Betty, but what we do know is that she deserves a forever home that will love her unconditionally and give her all the time she needs to feel safe and secure.

If you have a quiet home, a gentle heart, and the patience to let Betty come out of her shell at her own pace — she just might be your perfect match. 💕
