My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Terrier Mix
Age: 3-4 yrs
Male, neutered
16 lbs

Adoption Fee: $125 (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations)

Flash was confiscated by Hayward Animal Control along with nine other dogs from a hoarding situation. Everyone lived in a single hotel room. All of the dogs were related (puppies having puppies . . . ). Four of the dogs were fixed and returned to the owner, while the other six were left at the shelter. None of them were deemed “adoptable” and no other rescue group would take any of them, so Nobody’s Perfekt Dogs pulled all six into multiple foster homes.

Our understanding was that having 10 related, unfixed dogs in a small place generated a lot of squabbling, which then led to their confiscation. Flash seems to be still affected by that. He lived in a foster home with lots of dogs, but we observed similar behaviors as when he was in the hoarding situation. He has bonded with nearly all of the volunteers that work with him, and is friendly with the visitors to the adoption center that interact with him. He is good on a leash and loves going for walks.

Flash was very bonded to one of his siblings, Sasha. Originally we wanted to keep them together. Unfortunately, during the only sleepover that they ever went on, Sasha escaped and was never heard from again. We assume she is dead. Flash was returned to us when Sasha was lost.

Flash is currently living in our adoption center by himself, waiting to get a chance at a new home with no other dogs.

Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We specialize in "hard to place dogs" due to their breed, age, minor behavioral or medical conditions. We strive to keep our fees reasonable ($125), and we have sponsorship funds to help with fees, if needed.

After the application is approved, the prospective adopter must take the dog on a trial-basis "sleepover" for a few days, before finalizing the adoption.

We require landlord approval if the applicant is renting their living space.

We only do adoptions in San Francisco Bay Area and surrounding regions.

We DO NOT adopt to families with children under the age of 13.

More about this rescue

We specialize in finding homes for dogs where “imperfection” is tolerated in exchange for a lifetime of love and devotion.

Our foster dogs have been discarded by the people they once trusted, only to find themselves in a shelter with no other options.

We want them to have a second chance to receive the love and care they deserve.
