My story

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

Terrier / Dachshund Mix
Age: 1.5 yrs
Male, neutered
22 lbs

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

Rupert came to us from the Sacramento County with an injured rear leg (probably from being hit by a car). X-rays indicated that his left rear ankle had been shattered. There were 2 options: amputation of the leg or an expensive arthrodesis surgery. We were fortunate to find a vet that was willing to offer us a discount on the repair surgery so that we could save his leg.

Rupert is doing well, occasionally favoring the injured leg, but using it most of the time. He isn’t in pain, but will most assuredly develop arthritis that may need some pain control in the future.

He is little skittish at times, but once he is comfortable, he is mostly a very outgoing, friendly, playful, affectionate young dog. He would do well in a home with another young playful dog.

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.
