Story
Watson is a 10 month old neutered male border collie mix weighing 40lbs. He was one from a group of pups that were abandoned by an airport and left completely starving/emaciated. He’s healed up and turned into a thriving, happy, and social dog! He is doing well with housebreaking and crate training but still needs to build some confidence and life skills, but he loves other dogs and people and would do really great in a home with another dog! He does seem to be deaf but is very responsive to routine, hand signals, wants to please, and is a quick learner.  Please contact Diana at (510) 333-4420 or theperfectdogrescue@gmail.com or fill out the adoption application:  http://www.theperfectdog.org/TPDadoptapp.doc September 6, 2024, 7:02 pm

Story
Astro is a very sweet loving boy. I got him on Craigslist impulsively at 18 yrs old (10 yrs ago) and have struggled having him in an apartment. While he’s well behaved most of the time, he gets anxious in the small space and starts to “herd” and occasionally nip at ankles. He’s never done this in a big space. He was always good with other dogs before, he even lived in a two dog household. In his older years he became unfriendly with other dogs. I think he was just not socialized enough through my move and could start to warm up to other dogs again. He’s so loving and cuddly, I think he’s best suited as an outside dog in the day and will sleep peacefully with you at night. He should live out his remaining years in the big yard he’s always deserved.

Story
Notes from the foster: `Ivy is a sweet pup who could be a wonderful pet for an adopter with an appropriate physical space and a commitment to providing the training that she clearly didn’t receive before being abandoned. There were specific reasons why her foster placement with me wasn’t workable, but these wouldn’t apply to all settings. I’ll “start with the bad news” and explain the issues: She clearly had been an outdoor-only, backyard dog before… and I don’t have a back yard. She was afraid of my front door, deck, front steps, and patio, so I couldn’t take her out there for toileting as I had planned. The only way out of my house was in the back, through the garage, and then walking around the block to the public park. She had clearly never been walked on a leash before. Initially, it was a chaotic mess of slaloming in front of me and/or crashing into me. Even more problematic was the fact that she wouldn’t relieve herself, on the leash. I spent hours out in the park with her, having her sniff all of the popular peeing spots, which she clearly found entertaining; but she was not inspired to join in. The only place I could have let her have outdoor off-leash time was on my patio, which (as per above) she was inexplicably afraid of and wouldn’t go near. Thus, I spent four days desperately trying to get her to pee and poop outside, to no avail. Her other slightly problematic behavior was chewing. She’s young, and it’s normal and understandable, but it started somewhat suddenly on Day 2, and I had to scramble to get bully sticks and rawhides because she was shredding cardboard, paper towels, and one unfortunate shoe. My fault for not getting out ahead of that problem, though. She did much better once she had appropriate things to chew on. Lastly, as you might expect after being abandoned, she had some separation anxiety. I spent a lot of time hanging out with her. Any attempt on my part to stand up was countered by her crawling into my lap to keep me from moving. Once I was on my feet, she would not just follow me around, but actively block my path and get underfoot. At first she would whine when I left the room, until she learned how to follow me up the stairs. So, she was pretty needy at first, and a bit large to be climbing all over me the way she wanted to. On the other hand, the good news: apart from the toileting problems that I couldn’t solve, most of her issues improved as she settled in… and she also
