Goku dog adopting

The answer will always be a wholehearted “Yes”. Breed preservation is a looong process, and at times it can feel more stagnant than we’d like. But then I remember how regardless of where we are in the breed recognition process, our club’s member-driven committees continue to dedicate their time and energy to creating valuable resources for the public. I remember all the friends in my life that I’ve met through these dogs. I remember that a large part of breed preservation is taking the time to learn and taking the time to plan thoughtful pairings for when it’s time to breed. I remember that when obstacles arise due to the politics involved in all the official AKC stuff, that there is no way that our small but mighty community won’t prevail in the end. Because everything we do is in the name of the breed we love, in the name of education, and in the name of fostering the community that will help this breed thrive for years to come. If you love a rare breed, remember your “why” and don’t get discouraged (at least not for too long) ❤️

Thanks to Val and the Pups

Missnogo knows what it’s like to have a home… and now she’s back in a shelter, waiting again.

She was once adopted, but later was found as a stray. Her family never came back for her.

Missnogo is such a sweet, gentle girl, but the shelter environment is clearly very stressful for her. Even with that, she is still loving and easy to handle. She enjoys petting, takes treats very gently, knows sit, and has a low to medium energy level. She can pull on the leash, but it is controllable.

She deserves more than this. She deserves a family who will truly keep her forever.

• Missnogo — ID A287145
• 2 years old
• 63 lbs
• Stray intake: 8/16/26

Available for adoption, foster, rescue, or foster to adopt.

Sully is just ONE YEAR OLD and already so scared of the world around him. He arrived at the shelter on September 28, and he is clearly overwhelmed by everything around him.

The barking, loud noises, and kennel environment are terrifying for him.

We don’t know what Sully has been through, but it’s heartbreaking to see such a young dog like this. He is very shy, submissive, and non-reactive to other dogs. He isn’t asking for much, just a quiet place where he can finally feel safe.

Sully will need someone patient, someone who understands that trust takes time and who will let him come out of his shell at his own pace.

He is only one year old. He deserves to know what it feels like to be loved instead of afraid.

• Sully — ID
• 1 year old | Male
• At the shelter since September 28, 2026
• Non-reactive to other dogs
• Very shy, scared, and submissive
• Frightened by loud noises and barking

Sully is available for adoption, foster, rescue, or foster-to-adopt!

🎉UPDATE: Rescue committment! Will follow up with specific rescue for pledges 🚨Senior Samson needs safe exit in Los Angeles by 9/10 or he will be euthanized 💔

Samson arrived at North Central as a stray on May 30th. Behind those gentle eyes and that HUGE grin is a big softie who loves treats, fetch—and most of all, his pool. 🥹💦⭐

He’s been wonderful with volunteers, but the shelter environment is taking a toll. His behavior in playgroups has changed over time, and he’s showing us that he’s struggling with the stress of shelter life.

Samson needs someone who understands dogs, has breed experience, and will give him the time and space to decompress. The shelter believes he may do best as the only dog in the home.

This isn’t about “saving” him quickly. It’s about finding the right person with a solid plan and lifelong commitment. ❤️

🏡 Samson needs a foster or adopter.
🙏 Please SHARE him. The right person may be just one share away.

Meet Samson. Give him the chance to show you who he really is outside the shelter. 🐾💗

🙏 Please don’t let Samson spend his last senior days of life behind kennel doors.
