DOB December 22, 2021 BREED Labrador/Pyrenees mix Meet Mochi: Mochi is a 12 week old, 5 pound, female Wire Terrier mix. We expect her to grow to be around 15-20 pounds full size. Mochi was surrendered to our group because her owner's Doberman was playing with her too hard and she was worried about the pup's safety. She is a really fun, energetic puppy and provides lots of entertainment when she plays and makes zoomies around the house. Mochi is a great candidate for an active family with children and would also be a great addition to a home with an existing dog or cat.
Mochi is being fostered in a home with older teens and other dogs. She is a very friendly dog and has no problem meeting new people or approaching them for a belly rub. She sleeps in a crate at night and is nearly house trained. She is still mastering leash trained but needs more practice being comfortable with it. |

DOB December 22, 2021 BREED Labrador/Pyrenees mix Meet Jessie: Jesse is a 1 year old, 80 pound, female Lab/Pyrenees mix. She is pretty much full size by now but may put on another 10 pounds or so. She has been fostered in a home with large and small breed dogs. She is gentle when appropriate and dotes on a litter of Chihuahua puppies who also stay in the home. She is their puppysitter, dog bed, playtime referee, shelter from the rain at potty time, and often times chew toy. The puppies adore her attention. She can be shy at first when meeting new people but being that she is a sensitive dog that isn’t surprising. She loves the outdoors and is a bundle of energy for a dog her size. She is a very intelligent girl and is good at reading the mood in the room and acting appropriately. Jessie would do great with other dogs or by herself and would be a great companion for outdoor adventures.
She currently sleeps on the floor on a dog bed but does fine in a crate when necessary. She is house trained and leash trained. Jessie has formed a tight bond with the people in her foster home so it’s safe to assume she will do the same with her new family. She likes to be a part of the household and will usually stick within view of her people when she’s not outside playing or napping. So if you have too much privacy on your hands or you miss the days when your kids were small and you couldn’t use the bathroom alone come meet Jessie. She will turn up and be your constant companion no matter how well you hide. |

DOB August 1, 2021 BREED Chihuahua mix Meet Sweetpea: Sweetpea is a 1.5 year old, 9 pound, female Chihuahua mix. She is full size and should not grow any larger. We’ve had this little girl for 6 months so we really have gotten to know her. She arrived pregnant and spent a few months raising her puppies. Now that she’s regained her figure and is spayed it’s time to find her the perfect forever home. Sweetpea is a very cuddly lap dog who is happiest when being held or snuggling up next to her people.

DOB January 13, 2022 BREED Wire Terrier mix Meet Billy: If you follow us online you’ll remember Billy. He arrived skinny and dirty but was still a gorgeous dog. Billy is a 1 year old, 36 pound, male Terrier mix. We have no idea exactly what kind of Terrier, but he has a white and black wire coat. Billy is a happy, quiet, mellow dog. He prefers the company of his foster people and the resident dogs over public dog parks and outings. Training and day trips away from the house would help him work through that. When he arrived he was dealing with a lot of anxiety from his time in an animal shelter. Being near his person made him feel safe and comfortable. As a result, Billy usually stays within sight of his foster mom. He’s relaxed more and more since he joined us and is now comfortable exploring the backyard by himself and napping around the house. He will continue to gain more confidence and independence as he becomes more comfortable in his environment.
We’ve had many dogs like Billy in the past. This boy probably spent the first year of his life doing everything he could to be around his people, but was probably kept outside and never really allowed be a part of the family. Billy is far too social of a dog to live that kind of life. He is a companion animal at heart and meant to be inside a home and around people. Give this dog the slightest praise, the smallest luxury, treat, blanket, dog bed and you see he is grateful. Billy is being housed in a quiet home with other dogs. He is a well behaved boy, loves receiving and giving affection and getting praise. He really just wants to make his people happy. He sleeps in a pen at night. He whines for a few minutes then settles down. He is house trained and hasn’t had any accidents inside. Although his foster is round the house and he is given plenty of opportunities to go outside. He walks on leash but could use some additional training. To sum up Billy’s demeaner, this dog just wants to make his people happy and he just wants to feel safe and secure in his home. He will continue to thrive in a home with a young retiree or someone who works from home. He’s loyal, smart and sensitive and will easily become someone’s soulmate who possesses similar attributes. |

Somehow in 8 short weeks of life this girl has learned what plausible deniability means.
Ruby is being fostered in a home with children and other dogs. She currently sleeps in a crate at night and is working on house training. She is not leash trained.

DOB December 9, 2022 BREED German Shepherd mix Meet Allie: Allie is an 8 week old, 11 pound, female German Shepherd mix. We expect her to grow to around 60-70 pounds full size. The first thing you need to know about this girl is that she is smart. It’s not every day you she a Shepherd stand on her hind legs for a treat, let alone an 8 week old. Of course she’s just doing it for the dog treats but knowing she is treat motivated already is going to make training her so much easier. Allie’s a people pleaser for sure and loves being rewarded. Food, affectionate, great big hugs she just loves receiving special attention. She is with her sister, Ruby but is the more confident puppy of the two.

DOB July 7, 2022 BREED Doberman mix Meet Clyde: Bugsy is a 9 months old, 14 pound, male Terrier mix. We think he might grow to be around 20 pounds full size. Bugsy is an extremely sweet little man despite his rough start in life. He was found running with some other dogs and thought to be feral, but once caught it was clear that all he really wanted was to feel safe and cuddle with his rescuers. It is unknown how long Bugsy had to fend for himself in the wild dog pack, but it has left him very, very nervous around new people and situations. To his benefit though, he warms up very quickly with new people and the other three dogs in the fosters home. Even though he gets along really great with other dogs, Bugsy would do best in a home that he can be the one and only so he can get all the attention, bond strongly with his human, and gain the confidence he needs.
Bugsy is crate trained, house broken (just very occasional accidents), and doing great with leash training. He sleeps in his crate, quietly through the night, and stays in the crate quietly when the foster has to step out or get work done. Bugsy needs someone who is going to be able to take him out and about (a lot) so that he can get exposure to the big wide world to learn that he doesn’t have to be scared and gain confidence that his human will keep him safe. |

DOB March 11, 2022 BREED Terrier mix Meet Charlie: From the moment he arrived in November we could tell Charlie was a special dog. Charlie is a 5 year old, 16 pound, male Chihuahua. He arrived far too skinny, missing a large portion of his coat, had foggy eyes from a tick-borne disease, was anemic and had a badly broken leg flopping around like a rag doll. He had wandered up to a house looking for food and found his way to us via a Central Valley shelter. Upon arrival he was treated for his injuries and it was determined that the limb was too damaged to save. On November 29th it was amputated, he received a dental cleaning and was neutered.
Since that time Charlie, also called C3PO, has adapted to living his life in a safe environment where he is treated with kindness and a gentle hand. He’s learned that not all people need to be feared, that mealtime happens every day and the warmest place to nap is on his foster’s bed because there is a heated blanket. Charlie is being fostered in a home with small children, other dogs, cats, chickens and small farm animals. He is good with his family but is nervous when new people first visit the house. He is completely fine with the children in the home and recognizes them as part of the pack. He gets along great with the other dogs in the home and is not slowed down by his missing leg. He gets along with cats but will still chase them when the other dogs do it. He has no intention of harming them but falls in line with the other dogs. He is fine with them in the house. He doesn’t bother the chickens or farm animals. Even when Charlie first arrived and was in terrible pain he never showed any aggression towards people. There have been situations where strangers come into his foster home and he barks but that’s because he’s protecting his family which he recognizes are part of his pack. Charlie sleeps around the house at night and usually ends up on his foster mom’s bed. He is house trained and leash trained. Like most former street dogs, Charlie will benefit from accompanying his people when they run errands or have meals outside of the home. Exposure to different situations will make him more comfortable and help him realize he is safe both inside and outside the house. |

DOB August 29, 2022 BREED Terrier Mix Meet Kona: Kona is one of the three remaining puppies from our Coffee Litter. Every time we’ve used that theme it seems like we end up with a few cups that get stale in the pot. He is a Terrier mix who is just turning 5 months old. He currently weighs 12 pounds and will grow to be around 25 pounds full size. Before telling yourself you don’t want a little dog ponder this; Kona’s body is shaped like the average large breed dog, he’s just more compact. Not all small dogs look like Chihuahuas and little fluffy purse dogs. Trust me, you will look just as cool walking around with Kona as you would a large breed dog. Although his coat is so short he gets cold quickly so he would be happier in a nice warm jacket. Some big dogs where jackets, too. It doesn’t make them less cool, no judging.
Where is Kona’s forever family? He’s a sweet, energetic dog who literally bounces with excitement when he plays with the other dogs. He loves toys, bones and playing chase, which is good news for any adopter because a tired puppy is a happy puppy. Plus, tired puppies cuddle and everyone loves cuddly puppies There is no reason we should have such a good puppy so long. He’s crate trained and doing great with his potty training, although he does hate the rain. He is also leash trained but needs more experience walking on leash once he’s adopted. Somewhere out there someone needs this sweet boy in their life. He is a character with tons of personality and will be the perfect lap dog for watching movies. While we’re discussing movie time, Kona appreciates being under a blanket. Some big dogs like blankets too, no judging. Kona prefers his blanket heated though and that, I have to admit, is a little dog thing. Please help spread the word about Kona, he’s currently the biggest little dog in our program. To apply for an animal please complete our adoption application. Once completed email to dogmaanimalrescue@gmail.com. Put name of dog and litter you are interested in in the subject line. If you have already sent in an application in the past, please reattach it to your current email. We do not keep applications on file. We try to respond to all emails but due to the volume of messages we receive that is not always possible. |

He arrived in our care after being found outside, sealed in a box near a dumpster behind a Costco store at 2-3 weeks of age. Since that time he has been hand fed and nurtured in a Dogma foster home being loved on and cuddled by caring humans and supervised and mentored by the resident house dogs.
Mud and his siblings, Kona and Java are smart, adapt quickly, and are happy and energetic. When their foster mom opens the cookie jar they all run into their sleeping area, sit down, and wait for their treat. He loves to play and will need some heavy duty toys that are extra durable. Mud has a sweet personality but gets overshadowed by the other puppies. He is one of the first puppies to line up for treats and gets along with everyone he meets. He is around one half of the size of the largest puppy so he doesn’t get involved in too much of the heavy playing but he stays on the sidelines and waits for his opportunity to strike and win the battle. Currently he is in a home with other dogs. When he's seen cats he barks at them but has not been near them. he has been around lots of kids from toddlers to older teens. He love playing with kids but may be a bit too rough with smaller aged kids during his puppy phase. Time and training will enable them to know how to interact with small children. He is nearly and is kennel trained. |

DOB November 17, 2021 BREED Wire Terrier mix eet Carlos Carnitas: Carlos is a 1-2 year old, 13 pound, male Wire Terrier mix. He is full size and will not grow any larger. We accepted him into our program after we received a video of him feral and living on the streets. He was a tricky dog to catch and was only caught by using carnitas as bait. He was quickly christened Senior Carlos Carnitas. Silly name aside, he is a darling, happy and confident little dog. At some point he was somebody's pet because he adapted back to living in a house almost instantly.
He is currently living with three young kids, a medium male dog and a rabbit. He gets along with everyone and should be fine with a cat as he has zero interest in the bunny when she is cruising around the living room. He sleeps great in a crate next to his foster's bed. However, he isn't truly crate trained and gets worried about being left alone in the crate if he can't see his people. When left loose in the house with the other dog he is calm and relaxed until we get home. He is house trained, however, he is taken out frequently to set him up for success. He gets chilly and needs a sweater and coat for those early morning potty breaks. He loves to snuggle as much as possible and really wants to just hang with his people. Carlos is a little gem that will be such a wonderful addition to anyone looking for a best friend. |

DOB July 27, 2022 BREED Pitbull mix Meet Pheobe: Phoebe is a 3 month old, 40 pound, female Pitbull mix. Phoebe was rescued from a Central Valley shelter, along with her sister, Mila, after we were contacted and told these two girls were going to be euthanized that day if a rescue wasn't found. Just like that we had two giant, active puppies on our hands. We split the girls up so we could begin training and start working on making these two house dogs.
Phoebe is being housed with children and other dogs. She is full of energy but learning proper manners, playing well with the other dogs and acting appropriately with the kids in the house. She is going to be a big girl and it is important she learn to be gentle when interacting with others. She is still a puppy though so she hasn't mastered poise and grace. Phoebe is a great dog with years of live left in her to share with her family. This happy girl is ready to become a cherished member of your family and begin creating lifelong memories with you and your kids. |

DOB Dec 23, 2021 BREED Terrier mix Meet Reggie: Reggie, is a one year old, 17 pound, male Terrier mix. He is full size and will not grow any larger. He loves to play fetch and be with his family. After some good rounds of fetch he’ll be ready to lay down and cozy up on your lap or next to you. Given the choice, Reggie would have you in his sight as much as possible. He loves pets and kisses whenever he can get them. He is always happy to see his people, every single time! He sleeps in a crate at night in the bedroom of one of his fosters, is 99 percent house trained, and walk on leash.
Reggie would do well with another existing dog in his forever home to play with. He has not been around cats since he joined our program. He would be fine with older children but still has some puppy energy and needs to continue working on his manners. Small children might get scratched or run over during periods of rough puppy play. Reggie is a nice dog. He’s extremely affectionate and still young enough to train the way you want him. He’s past most of the puppy stages and his energy level should be calming down in the next year. He would be a fun companion dog for someone who likes to take their dog with them on walks, coffee houses, or other social environments where he can shine. |
