Bella, terrier
Bella is a female terrier dog being cared for at Happy Tails Pet Sanctuary.
Bella gets along well with cats. She's mastered her house-training etiquette. She is already vaccinated and spayed.
Notes from Bella's caretakers:
She has a quirky personality and greets her foster with tail wags and goofy grins when she sees them. She's a big couch potato and loves to hang out with her people in the evenings. Squeaky toys are her favorite to toss and retrieve and she loves a nice beef bone to gnaw on. She would prefer a home with a backyard to run around in.

Bailey, Labrador retriever and shepherd mix
Bailey is an adorable female Labrador retriever and shepherd mix in the care of Sacramento SPCA.
Bailey needs special time to bond with you: She will need a home free of other dogs. She is spayed.
Notes about Bailey:
She likes people and loves her tennis ball. She can be a little shy at first meeting, but win her over with a game of fetch and she'll be your BFF. Even though she is such a sweet girl, Bailey is very unhappy in the shelter environment and might give a bad first impression when you first see her in her kennel. However, if you give her a chance she completely changes once outside and shows her true colors.

Gigi, boxer mix
Gigi is a female boxer mix in the care of Sacramento SPCA.
She's already been spayed.
Here's what Gigi has to say:
I lived with dogs in my previous home but may be selective with a new dog friend. I don't have a history with cats, but may do well with them with a slow introduction. Due to my size, age, and personality, I'm a better fit for homes with older children/adults.

Buster, pit bull terrier mix
Buster is a male pit bull terrier mix being kept at Sacramento SPCA.
Buster's ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. He's neutered.
Notes from Buster:
I don't have a history with dogs, but bring your dog down to meet with me to see how we get along. I find cats a little too interesting, so best to keep them away.
