Hi there, my name is Octavia, a spayed female, 2 year old, Rottweiler/Staffie mix that currently weighs about 80lbs. I'm an affectionate young lady that loves to love. I love belly rubs and going on walks! I'm an excellent kisser and cuddler too! I do my very best not to jump up on people to say hello but sometimes I forget then I remember again, and it ends up being more of a bunny hop. I'm a really smart girl that already knows 'watch me', 'sit', 'down' and of course the best game known to dog kind... Fetch! I really love being around people, I have been called a lovebug, and would be a wonderful constant companion for anyone looking for an affectionate but very energetic new friend. Let's go on adventurous hikes and explore the great, wide world together! I sometimes get overwhelmed since I'm still getting used new things, but with your gentle guidance, I can overcome anything! I can't wait to meet the whole household including any resident dogs before going home. For more information, just ask Customer Service about Octavia ID# A953428
I recently went on a fieldtrip with one of my PHS Volunteer friends! Here's how I did:
Octavia went on a two-hour off-site walk that began with a relaxed loop around Washington Park and continued with a stroll along Burlingame Avenue. She greeted me with happy head rubs against my legs and plenty of wiggles. We walked to my car, where she jumped right into the front passenger seat. She remained calm and seemed to genuinely enjoy looking out at the passing scenery during the drive. At the Burlingame Community Center, we parked in the underground garage and took the elevator together—Octavia was curious but not at all nervous during the ride. Once at Washington Park, Octavia immediately rolled in the grass, clearly having a great time. Along the way, she encountered other dogs; although she pulled toward them, she redirected easily and kept walking when asked. A loud street sweeper passed by with its backup alarm blaring, but Octavia was unfazed. She showed interest in the sound of pickleballs being hit on the nearby courts, pausing to observe. We stopped at the Burlingame train station and watched two trains arrive and depart. The clanging of the crossing signals, train horns, and the trains themselves didn’t bother her at all. Continuing down Burlingame Avenue, Octavia walked nicely past pedestrians, strollers, small children, and more dogs, maintaining good manners throughout. At the intersection of El Camino Real, we turned around and made our way back through the park. On the return walk, Octavia demonstrated excellent composure, passing the bocce ball courts, children playing on the playground, a basketball game, and a riding lawn mower, all without any signs of reactivity. She descended the stairs to the parking garage with no hesitation and was calm during the drive back. Octavia handled every part of this busy outing with curiosity, resilience, and great behavior.
Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.
You may call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment, or just drop by. Drop-In hours for Same Day Adoptions are 11 am – 5 pm, 7 days a week (closed major holidays).
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!
