JANUARY - Labrador Retriever and Sheep Dog Dog for Adoption in Sacramento, California

Ready, Set... January!
Meet January—your daily dose of sunshine, zoomies, and pure happy vibes!


This lively girl is full of energy and loves being outside where all the fun happens. Whether she’s exploring, soaking up the fresh air, or suddenly launching into a squirrel-chasing mission (important work!), January is always ready for action. She even enjoys a good splash session and may hop into a wading pool just for the joy of it!


January knows how to “sit” for treats—and treats definitely help win her over. She can be a little hesitant with some men at first, but with slow introductions and a few snacks, she warms up and shows her sweet, friendly side.


While toys aren’t always her top priority, she’ll play now and then—especially if you’re part of the fun. She’s currently living with two other dogs and doing well, showing she can be a great canine companion.


Because she loves to chase squirrels, a cat-free home would be best for this playful girl.


If you’re looking for an energetic, joyful pup who will keep life exciting and full of smiles, January is ready to bring the fun straight to your home!

January has participated in shelter playgroups and may enjoy a compatible canine friend in her new home. She's also sharing her shelter suite with a friend she met at the shelter. Looking for a buddy for your dog? Bring him/her to the shelter for a meet and greet and see if we're a match! Check out her playgroup video here:
