    Meet Trixie 💚

    Trixie is a sweet 4-year-old Pit Bull mix with a gorgeous blue coat and the biggest heart. She’s about 50 lbs, house trained, crate trained, walks nicely on leash, and loves her people more than anything.

    She can be a little unsure around loud dogs, but does well with proper introductions and time to settle in. Trixie is calm, affectionate, loyal, and always ready for couch cuddles.

    Meet Buddy Bear 💚

    At 15 years old, Buddy Bear found himself abandoned at a shelter when he needed his family most. We couldn’t change the first 15 years of his story—but we could make sure his final chapter was filled with comfort, safety, and so much love. Buddy Bear is now a Pits & Pals hospice pal, and from here on out, he will never be alone again.

PALS IN OUR CARE (ON HOLD)

  • Meet Bonnie

    Bonnie is a 5 year old, nearly 40 lb English Bulldog mix who came to us from Stanislaus Shelter after landing on the euthanasia list. She arrived scared, neglected, and battling several medical issues, but her resilience is already shining through. We are slowly earning her trust while giving her the medical care, comfort, and patience she has always deserved. Bonnie is not yet available for adoption, but she is safe, loved, and healing with us.
