Canine Good Citizen Program
Awhoooo! I'm Emilio! I'm a 2 year old, neutered male, 60 pound Chocolate Lab/Pit Bull mix and I'm excited to meet you! I'm a very affectionate boy but I can come on a bit strong. It's only because I'm so stoked to see you! I love giving hugs and will try to sit on you. I'm as cuddling and huggable as can be! I also love to run, sniff, jump -- and did I mention jumping?! I'm super great at it. My buddies here at PHS tell me there are times jumping is not appreciated, and I'm doing my best to learn manners. My ideal home will be with adults only who are ready to devote lots of time and energy giving me love, training and exercise. I would do best in a home where I am the only pup for now. Since I'm not always sure who I can give high fives to, I would do best in a home with adults only. I can't wait to be your forever faithful adventure buddy!

I recently went on a field trip with my favorite volunteer. This is what they had to say about our day together:
Perfect!! Overall he was AMAZINGG. I had him in my house and in my backyard and he wasn’t all over the place or jumpy or anything he was really good, honestly just stayed near me and explored at the same time, whenever I’d call him he’d follow me. He was attached to this random cat toy that was in my backyard and he sunbathed for a chunk of the time.
When I picked him up from the shelter, he was anxious for the first 30 mins in the car. He did much better on our car ride back to the shelter. He jumped in perfectly fine and was good in the car, not anxious at all.
The AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) program provides a perfect framework for training a dog to become a polite member of society! I am on track to get CGC certificate! In order to pass I have been training hard to master the following 10 items:
- Politely greet strangers.
- Sitting politely for petting.
- Accepting of grooming.
- Good manners on walks.
- Walking through a crowd politely.
- Sit and down on cue and staying in place.
- Coming when called.
- Not reacting to another dog while on walks.
- Does not react to distractions.
- Waits patiently when separated from owner.
Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010. Please note at this time we are doing adoptions by appointments only. Please call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment.
Our hours are 11am-6pm (closed major holidays). Interested adopters must arrive at least 1 hour before close.
We do our best to update our listings regularly, but we can’t guarantee every animal you see is still available. It’s also typical for us to have animals who haven’t had their photos taken yet, so you are welcome to visit our adoption center and have a look around!
To check on an animal's adoption status, please call 650-340-7022 during normal business hours to speak with an adoption counselor. Emails will be returned as soon as possible, but please allow up to 48 hours during busy adoption periods like weekends.
