Story
Meet our gorgeous girl, Tomato! This big girl is still a puppy, with lots of growing, learning, and figuring out to do. Her DNA results show she’s primarily Belgian Malinois and Mastiff, so she may grow into a pretty impressive young lady! The good news? She’s one smart cookie! Highly motivated to learn, she already knows several cues, including sit, down, and high five, and she’s getting the hang of “place.” She’s making good progress with loose-leash walking, is crate-trained, and is well on her way to being housebroken. She’s also been socialized with cats, enjoys playing with an older dog, and has done well with older kids. Because she’s a large, strong, growing puppy, we wouldn’t recommend a home with young children. ->She’s looking for an experienced adopter who understands the importance of positive, consistent training, ongoing socialization, and plenty of daily physical exercise and mental stimulation. She’ll need someone willing to make these things part of her everyday routine and help her develop into a well-mannered adult dog. With the right commitment, guidance, and an adopter who understands her needs, she has so much potential! If you have experience with large, active breeds and are ready to put in the time and effort a puppy like her deserves, we’d love to hear from you!

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog D:7Meet Periwinkle, a sweet young Malinois mix who loves being close to his people! This 1-year-old, 67-pound boy may be a little unsure of his surroundings at first, but he quickly seeks out affection and reassurance from the people walking with him. He enjoys leaning into pets, nudging hands for more attention, and sticking close by your side. He's still figuring out treats and toys, but he's already shown that companionship is a pretty great reward! Periwinkle also has a playful side. During introductions, he enjoyed interacting and playing with other dogs, using his paws to invite them into the fun. He may enjoy a well-matched canine companion or be happy as your one-and-only with opportunities to make dog friends. As a young dog, Periwinkle is still learning his manners and can get excited about greeting people by putting his paws up on them. He'll benefit from a patient adopter who can help him build confidence, practice leash skills, and learn new things through positive reinforcement. If you're looking for an affectionate sidekick who wants to be close to his favorite people, Periwinkle could be your guy!October 26, 2026, 5:53 am

Story
Meet Honey, one of those dogs who is beautiful from the inside out. From her deep inquisitive eyes and her luxurious brindle coat, to her affectionate loyalty and playful spirit, she will steal your heart in a second. Intelligent and athletic, Honey thrives with structure and adventure. She enjoys off-leash pack walks and is a joy to train. In foster care, she has shown that she is an excellent candidate for sport dog and more advanced training. She is also devoted to her person. While she does love and revere her humans, Honey also loves the company of other dogs. Her perfect housemate would be a large playful adult male who wants to chase and wrestle with her. She does well with all small dogs too. Honey is crate-trained and prefers a cozy crate, covered and away from noise, where she can chew on a tasty treat. She does not destroy bedding, but is a strong chewer, so she needs something to keep her busy while she settles in. Honey is a healthy, spayed 2-3 year old 80lb Shepherd mix. She is crate-trained, has beautiful teeth and a gorgeous coat, knows basic commands (and learning more!), is food-motivated, does well in the car, and walks nicely on leash. She is currently on bladder support supplements because she tends to dribble when she is excited to see her people. It isn’t constant, and the supplements seem to help. Her prey drive is not strong. We believe she could learn to live with a cat. It is our strong preference that she live with another dog, but not a requirement. We recommend no small children and require secure fencing. If you are looking for your soulmate, please reach out. Honey is waiting for you! Email waggytaylor@gmail.com to set up a time to meet her. California Pit bull Rescue is an official 501(c)(3) and requires an adoption application and $200 donation fee for all adoptions.October 17, 2026, 12:11 pm

Story
Every superhero needs a purpose, and Odette is happiest when she has one. 🦸 This 6-year-old Belgian Malinois is looking for an active home that appreciates her intelligence, energy, and adventurous spirit.

Her superpowers include boundless enthusiasm, world-class cuddling, and turning ordinary days into adventures. She loves having a job to do, thrives on mental and physical enrichment, and is happiest when she feels like part of the team.

Story
Bandit is 3 years old. Very handsome very loving and lovable. He is very intelligent.He loves Routines.House trained knows basic commands. He absolutely loves the dog park he enjoys playing fetch with 2 balls always. He loves his balls. Indestructible balls for the house and tennis balls at the park. He is great with other dogs at the dog park big or small. Loves to play. At home he is mellow, calm. At night he is protective. He will alert you if anyone is outside. I should have named him the General because of how protective he is. Bandit has a heart of gold. I witnessed it when I assumed my other dog took bandits bone and so I returned it to him and she was then sad and he then saw she was sad and he returned the bone to her. Witnessing that interaction changed how I seen dogs . If I could I would definitely keep Bandit I love him so much. Having to give him up is the hardest thing to do. I feel like I'm letting him down. I love that boy with all my heart he deserves a good home.
