Male Dog aged 1 year.
**Tucker will only be available for private meets. He will not attend Saturday adoption events**
Meet Tucker!
Sex: Male
Age: 1 Year, 2 Months Old
Size: 85 lbs
Dogs: Yes!
Kids: Yes! May do best with older kiddos as he is a big guy, who doesn't quite know how large he is.
Cats: Would do best with a dog savvy cat.
Crate Trained: Yes!
House Trained: Yes!
Tucker is a fun, happy boy who’s beginning to settle into training nicely. He’s showing great curiosity about his surroundings and a willingness to engage once he’s had time to take everything in. As he continues to gain structure and consistency, his focus and responsiveness will only improve.
Tucker’s sits are already very solid, he responds quickly and with enthusiasm. His downs are still a work in progress; he’ll sometimes follow the lure and settle for a few seconds before popping back up, especially when there’s a lot going on around him. We’re continuing to build duration and reliability in this command with short, successful repetitions to keep him engaged.
He can be excitable, occasionally jumping up for attention, but he’s learning that calm behavior earns praise and rewards.
Tucker’s recall has improved since his previous session. Working on a short leash, he’s already showing more attentiveness and quicker turnarounds when called. When distracted by scents, he may still need a little leash guidance, but he’s catching on quickly. Out at the park, his name recognition was strong for a new environment — he responded happily to most recalls, and when he needed help, a gentle leash assist was all it took to bring his attention back.
At the park, we focused heavily on loose leash walking since Tucker is naturally strong and eager to explore. Any time he hit the end of the leash, we practiced direction changes and short resets to encourage him to check in and follow along. By the end of the walk, he began to settle into the rhythm, walking more calmly at his handler’s side.
Tucker enjoyed taking in all the sights and smells at Johnson Springview. He’s very curious and observant but remains non-reactive — even when a neighbor’s dog barked at him from behind a fence, he simply looked and carried on. We spent time at a bench working on settling; within a few minutes, he chose to lay down on his own and calmly watched the world go by. This was a great sign of progress and growing comfort with stillness in busy environments.
Tucker is a sweet, social boy who’s starting to balance his natural enthusiasm with structure and self-control. His focus is improving each session, and he’s building a stronger connection with his handler. He’s making good progress, with time and routine, Tucker will continue to flourish!

Female Dog aged Young Adult.
**Maggie will only be available for private meets and will NOT attend Saturday adoption events!**
Meet Maggie!
Sex: Female
Age: Approx 3 Years, 2 Months Old
Crate Trained: Yes!
Potty Trained: Yes! May experience some potty training regression during the transition period.
Leash Trained: Yes! Isn't one who enjoys neighborhood walks though.
Dogs: Yes!
Cats: Unknown.
Kids: Has done well with older kiddos.
Maggie is a recent graduate of the Paws the Block program. After graduation she spent a few days in a home environment where it became clear that it was most likely her first time in a home. Before getting surrendered to the shelter, she likely lived her entire life outside. We are hoping to find Maggie's perfect match where this sweet soul can finally bond and have the chance to just be a loved dog with the opportunity to play and relax. Maggie is a loving, affectionate girl with a huge heart and an even bigger personality. She bonds deeply to her people and truly wants to be with you — whether that means lying quietly at your feet, following you from room to room, or soaking up every ounce of attention she can get.
What we love about Maggie:
Incredibly sweet, loving, and people-oriented
Thrives on human companionship and connection - bonds deeply to her people
Great with kids and friendly visitors
Sleeps soundly through the night when near her person
Playful, fun, and full of personality once given time to decompress in a new environment
Has gone through the Paws on the Block training program and knows basic commands
What Maggie needs:
A slow introduction to her new home - no visitors for at least a week as she needs time to decompress and bond
A consistent schedule - she thrives on routine and structure
A quiet home and lifestyle
Supervision is provided indoors (she’s curious and loves to explore)
A very secure yard & home
Maggie is a “Velcro dog” in the truest sense. She wants to be involved in whatever you’re doing and feels safest when she knows her people are close.
The right home for Maggie
Maggie will thrive with adopters who:
Understands that she will be a flight risk initially (she will likely look for ways to escape) and will be dedicated to creating a secure home for her
Appreciate a deeply loyal, people-focused dog
Are committed to crate training and giving her a decompression period
Can offer consistency, reassurance, and calm leadership
Want a devoted companion who will love them wholeheartedly

Dogs: Yes! Love all of his canine friends.
Cats: Unknown!
Kids: Unknown, but we think would do well!
Hi! My name is Max, and I’m an 8-month-old possible Basset Hound mix with a ton of energy and personality. People call me the life of the party, and I live up to it! I’m still a puppy baby, so I’m full of curiosity, playfulness, and love. I enjoy running, jumping, playing, and exploring, and I especially love socializing with other dogs, chasing and being chased during playtime, it’s a total blast!
I’ve really flourished in the Paws on the Block program, a special program where pups like me get to learn new skills, practice socialization, and build confidence while interacting with both dogs and humans within the walls of Folsom State Prison. Through the program, I’ve become even smarter, more confident, and more fun to be around!
I can be a little vocal sometimes, letting everyone know I’m excited or want attention, but once I have it, I’m back to being my spunky, happy self. When it’s downtime, I’m a huge cuddle bug who loves long pets, snuggling, and tussling with my chew toys.
If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate, and smart puppy to brighten your days, I can’t wait to meet you!

Sex: Female

Leash Trained: Work in progress
Hi! My FDR name is Merengue but my foster family calls me Ella. I’ve had a tough beginning in life and I’m still learning to trust humans. However, I LOVE having another dog or two to play and cuddle with. It takes me several days to warm up to people although I’ll start following you around after about a day.
My foster family has been very patient with me, and I’ve started to learn new things like: where to go potty, being comfortable in a crate for several hours and going for walks on a leash. I’m still working on getting all these things right.
I’m a good eater, enjoy cookies and playing with dog toys. I’m not possessive of food or toys, so will happily share with other dogs. I don’t chew on things that I shouldn’t (except sometimes a sock if it’s left on the floor). I sleep through the night either in the crate or preferably cuddled up to another fur buddy (if you let me).
My perfect forever home is a place with patient humans and at least one dog. My new family will need to give me some time to get comfortable and continue to work with me on house training and walking on a leash. If you are looking for an adorable pup to join your pack, I may be the one.

Chi/mix

Housetrained: Needs a schedule
Dogs: Yes
Cats: Unknown
Crate Trained: Yes
Leash Trained: Yes, but does pull a bit
This absolute cutie is looking for her forever home. She is doing well on her housetraining and goes out every two hours.
She is crate trained and should be crated when you leave the home for a couple of hours. She does like to chew so she will need some chew toys to keep her busy. She loves to go for walks and does well riding in a car. She is also a little snuggle bug. Even though she isn't in a home with a dog right now, we feel she would benefit from a furry friend in the home.
Polka is an active, sweet little lady and she has the cutest little underbite! Who can resist this face??
Come meet her on Saturday!!

Meet Rusty!
Sex: Male
Age: 2 Year, 4 Months
Crate Trained: Yes
Potty Trained: Yes

Dogs: Would be best as an only dog, would benefit from positive continued socialization with other dogs!
Cats: Unknown!
Kids: Unknown!
Hi, I’m Rusty! You might think I’m a wee bit rusty around the edges, but really, I’m just getting polished for the perfect family! I’m a 2-year-old bundle of all the good things, and I’m ready to share all my love and energy with the right people.
I thrive outdoors, long walks, exploring new sights and smells, feeling the sun on my back, and the wind in my face are my absolute favorite. I walk perfectly on leash, staying right by your side, always in the know with whats happening around us. What can I say I'm emotionally in tune! And gosh squirrels and cats really make my day when I see them on walks! I also know how to relax, take a nap by my blanket, or chew on my favorite bone when it’s downtime.
I’ve made huge strides through the Paws on the Block program, building confidence, learning commands, and showing off my intelligence, agility, and fun-loving personality. I adore belly rubs, scratches behind the ears, and snuggles, especially with cozy blankets or sweaters. I love mastering new challenges, playing games, and exploring, and I’m always eager to please my humans for a reward or treat. I've learned well from my Paws on the Block brothers.
Inside, I’m calm and affectionate, enjoying the finer comforts of life, while outside, I’m energetic and ready for adventure. I’m looking for a family who will continue to celebrate how far I’ve come, share both fun and quiet moments with me, and let me show you all the love I have to give.
I’m gentle, loyal, and full of heart, truly an easy dog to love, and I can’t wait to find the family who will see that and make me a part of their life forever.

Meet Susan/Cassidy!
Sex: Female
Breed: Cattle Dog Mix
Age: Approx. 1 Year Old
Size: Roughly 35 lbs
Dogs: Yes!
Cats: Interested but respectful.
Kids: Yes, bonds quickly, and can become protective of them.
Housetrained: Yes, with some lapses when anxious
Cratetrained: Yes
Susan/Cassidy is a great mix of cuddly and energetic. She benefits from outdoor play, while also wanting to be near her person and loves getting attention! Sometimes she will demand attention. She is currently working on not jumping on people.
She took a week to acclimate to my house and yard, and she wants her person to accompany her when she potties in the evening before bed where she can be particular as to where she does her business. She will need a patient adopter to allow her to find the perfect spot! If you have her on leash in the backyard, she won't go potty. She does well with other dogs but really loves her humans! She is incredibly intelligent and has mastered: place, come, touch, stop, no, off/down, wait. She needs exercise every day and will adapt well with discipline and regular obedience training. She is defensive and reactive when surprised or guests visit, but not aggressive, and will benefit from a structured, proactive environment.

Male Dog aged Juvenile.
**Uno is part of the Paws on the Block program and will only be available for private meets and will NOT attend Saturday adoption events!**
Meet Uno!
Sex: Male
Age: Approx 6 Months Old
Crate Trained: Yes!
Potty Trained: Yes!
Leash Trained: Yes!
Dogs: Yes!
Cats: Unknown.
Kids: Unknown, but we think would do well with kiddos!
Hi, my name is Uno! I’m a handsome six-month-old big boy, already around 75 pounds and still growing, with so much puppy heart and optimism to give. I may look older than I am (and my pictures definitely don’t do my size justice in the slightest!), but I’m very much a baby puppy at heart, gentle, affectionate, and eager to learn.
Anatolians were originally bred to protect flocks of sheep, calmly watching over them and staying close by, and you can see that thoughtful, steady nature in me. That said, although my breed history comes from livestock guardian dogs, I am NOT a working LGD. I’ve been learning how to be a family companion and truly thrive on walks, affection, and being close to my people. I may not be your average dog, but I am through and through proud supporter of slow mornings and sleeping in, especially if cuddles are involved.
I’ve been doing great in the Paws on the Block program, where I’ve built confidence, practiced commands, and learned how to be a polite, well-mannered pup. I’m excited to bring all of these skills home with me, and continue to grow.
I’m a laid-back, mellow guy, who is also playful, and loves belly rubs, and being told I am a good boy. I especially love frisbee and games of ball toss, but overall I am laidback and enjoy relaxing just as much as playtime. I enjoy meeting new people and will play with other dogs if they’re up for it. I’m a fast learner with tons of untapped potential, and I love walking right by your side.
I enjoy long walks and exploring, and once I’m up and moving, I’m ready to take on the day. I’m affectionate, obedient, quiet, and truly an easy dog to love. Because I’m a growing big boy, I would benefit from long-term joint support to help keep me comfortable and active as I mature.
What I’m really looking for is a home where I can grow, feel safe, and be loved for exactly who I am, a gentle giant with a soft heart and a big, bright future. If you’re ready for a loyal companion who will love you endlessly and make your house feel like home, I’d love to be your one and only Uno!

This handsome boy is all Boston!! If you love this breed and know they are full of energy and full of love, this is the dog for you.
He turns four next month and loves kids and people. He is submissive around other dogs if they come on strong. He is not aggressive and prefers to try and avoid forceful dogs.
He is good with cats and really loves to go for walks/runs and to play with his toys. He especially likes to play fetch with a ball.
