Hattie is a female Bullmastiff. She is very friendly with adults, kids, babies, other dogs, and other pets she encounters. She has a sweet disposition. Her only fault is that she likes to eat tennis balls. It's happened twice, and is expensive to fix! She loves to visit different dog parks, take walks, swimming, car rides, food, and taking naps. She is my "Baby Doll."

Augie loves to sing to the Cajun accordion and has the keenest nose I have ever seen on a dog! He can smell a critter a mile away.

I found Mei Mei running down the middle of a busy street. She was microchipped so I was able to locate her owners. They stated that she had escaped many many times before and they were unable to keep her. I took Mei Mei home and introduced her to my other dog ( a rottie mix named Mimi). The two hit it off immediatly! Mei Mei is aloof like Shiba Inu's are. She does not show much expression and never barks. She is, however, a very sweet dog and does not have a mean bone in her body. Mei Mei becomes a totally different dog when she is playing with Mimi. She will bounce around, flick her tail, play gowl, and smile. She is just a cool little Shiba Inu.

Shortly after Fianna came into my life when she was still just a baby my world turned upside down and I lost everything. Over the last four years I have had to rebuild my life. I could not have made it without her. Through it all she has been my protector, my shoulder to cry on and an endless source of laughter. The love I have for her is deeper than there are words to describe.

Tinkerton Acorn Mountain is a Parson Russell Terrier. He was adopted from the Mendocino Animal Care Services shelter in Ukiah. He went on to get his Canine Good Citizen award in only one session of obedience classes. Tinkerton loves a good romp, tug of war, barking at the window, keeping the moles in the backyard away, and howling at the cell phone. His best buddy is about almost 4 times as big, but Tinkerton, being a real Russell, has not a clue about that. He is totally wonderful companion, and the cutest dog in the universe.

Waffles is a pedigree Pug born suitably on April Fools day this year at Winsome Pugs in Santa Ynez, Ca. Although she grew up a country girl, she is quickly adapting to life in the big city. Waffles enjoys sunny walks, chewing, long naps, and chasing pigeons ... that is when she isn't chasing her sister cat Sidney!

Codie Rae is a 4 year-old tripawd German Shepherd from Oakland, CA. We fostered her for German Shepherd Rescue of Northern California for three months. By then we were so in love we took the plunge and adopted her ourselves. It has been a non-stop ride ever since. Codie loves life and meets it head on, every day. Three legs? Whatever! Her motto is "Woohoo!Tripawds Rule!"
