Stanislaus County Boy - HAPPY UPDATE!

5/1 Update: Words cannot express my gratitude for all the transport offers for this old guy! The shelter reports that this sweet old geezer is going to be fostered at the shelter level; and that the family intends to make him a permanent family member! It's so awesome that an older dog will be given a second chance at happiness.

Thank you all...what an honor it is to be part of such a caring community!!!



I don't know much about this 8yo guy, only that he's in an overcrowded and understaffed shelter in the Stockton area. His available date is this Saturday (5/2). Can anyone help with pulling him and/or transporting him partially to our kennel near Santa Rosa? His picture is so pathetic; he's worth a save and may be a candidate for our Compassion Program.

Please call me at 415/672-7391 or email me at suz@bullyhaven.org if you can help. Thanks in advance for any consideration, and for any good thoughts you can send his way.

Sweet Dreams, Ziva


I am deeply saddened to announce the passing of this sweet little momma. She was hit by a car last night after bolting from her foster home. She passed away immediately upon impact.

Heartfelt thanks go to her foster mom, Cairo, who made huge adjustments in her life in order to foster this little fireball. We know Ziva was truly happy and pampered during the past few months. I'd like share a picture of Ziva starting to fall asleep after her beloved tummy rubs.

Cairo called her Biga (Bee-ga). A biga is a starter used in Italian bread baking. A biga is made the night before bread is to be baked and the extra long fermentation develops a great flavor. It looks like a big, puffy white ball; just like a sleeping Bully.

Night, night little princess. You're in great company at the Rainbow Bridge.

Willy's On KOFY TV!

Some SF locals will remember that KOFY (Channel 20) used to feature short clips of viewers' dogs between shows. Sadly, the clips faded from the airwaves and eventually KOFY did too.

Well, KOFY is back after a 10-year absence and so are the dogs! Former rescue guy, Willy, gets to be one of the dogs showcased this month.

Go, Willy! Thank you for being such a great ambassador for the breed
