Story
Meet 3+ year old Kiwi!  FOSTER TO ADOPT Kiwi is a sweet, affectionate bully mix with a playful streak and a heart full of love for her people. Tennis balls are the pinnacle of canine joy as far as she's concerned, and she'll happily fetch one for you (though "drop it" is still under negotiation). When she's not playing, she's nuzzling up close for quality cuddle time. She's adjusting beautifully to indoor life. She's figured out the doggie door for potty breaks, isn't destructive around the house, and enjoys her growing collection of plush toys, chews, and food puzzles. She shares her treasures without fuss and settles nicely in a crate when someone's home. A few things she's still working on:  resisting the urge to attempt a crate escape when left alone, and accepting that snacks left on counters are not, in fact, generous offerings from the universe. Counter surfing is her sport of choice, so kitchen vigilance is a must. Kiwi is a reliable alert barker, letting you know about doors and footsteps like a small furry doorbell. Out in the world, she's friendly with people and other dogs, loves her car rides, and is wonderful on beach and trail adventures. If you're looking for a loving, playful companion who's eager to learn new and useful life skills through force-free and positive reinforcement training methods, then she's ready to give you her whole heart.  if you're interested to meet Kiwi,  please help us learn more about you and your household by filling out our online application www.tinyurl.com/AdoptMeNow ..

Story
Meet Kenzie (aka Lyngcha) – A Brave Little Soul Looking for Her Best Friend ❤️   Some dogs wear their hearts on their sleeves. Kenzie who her fosters have been calling Lyngcha had to learn it was safe to have one.   When Kenzie first arrived in foster care, she was completely shut down. She spent weeks hiding in her crate and was too frightened to interact with people or even go outside during the day. Watching her slowly learn to trust has been one of the most rewarding journeys we’ve ever witnessed.   Today, Lyngcha is a happy, playful, affectionate young girl who greets each day with a wagging tail and an adorable smile.   She absolutely loves other dogs and truly thrives with a confident canine companion. Whether she’s wrestling, playing tug-of-war, following her doggy friends around the house, or snuggling up beside them, having another friendly dog helps her feel safe and brings out her joyful personality.   Lyngcha is also very food motivated, making her eager to learn. She’s already picking up basic commands and is excited to keep learning with her future family.   She loves going for walks and approaches every adventure with puppy-like enthusiasm, taking in all the exciting smells and sights. New environments can still be a little overwhelming at first, but with patience, encouragement, and another dog by her side, her confidence continues to blossom.   Once Lyngcha bonds with her people, she’s an absolute sweetheart. She loves curling up close, resting her head on you, and soaking up affection. Her foster family even nicknamed her “Froggie” because of her adorable little hops whenever she’s excited—especially at mealtime!   Lyngcha has never shown any aggression. She’s simply a gentle soul who needs a little time to feel safe before showing you just how loving she truly is.   Lyngcha’s Ideal Home   • A patient family that will let her settle in at her own pace. • A confident, playful resident dog to help her continue building confidence. • Daily walks, lots of love, and plenty of cuddle time. • A home that understands shy dogs and celebrates every little victory.   The frightened girl who once hid in a crate has transformed into a loving companion with so much life ahead of her. She may not run into your arms on day one—but if you give her your patience and your heart, she’ll give you hers forever.   If you’re looking for a loyal best friend and believe that the greatest love stories are worth waiting for, Lyngcha just might be your perfect match.   We’d love for you to meet Lyngcha!   If you’ve been thinking about opening your heart and home to a new furry family member, we’d love to learn more about you and your household. Please fill out our adoption application, and let’s see if you and Lyngcha might be a wonderful match. ❤️   www.url.com/adoptmenowOctober 14, 2026, 1:12 pm

Story
Good afternoon, my name is Russell and I'm a Wilderness Explorer. Are you in need of a new buddy today? I'm a 1-year-old, Bull Terrier mix and I weigh around 70 pounds. I'm a happy go lucky, energetic, and playful guy. My friends here at PHS say that I'm super affectionate when cuddling and a full body player with equal parts goofball energy. If you are looking for a happy go lucky dude that loves nothing more than running, playing with soft toys and frolicking in the kiddie pool here at the shelter then look no further! I'm a total sweetheart; I just have to get my wiggles out first! If you are looking for puppy kisses and wiggly tails, I can deliver! Russell ID# A0978323 I recently went on a sleepover! Here's how I did: Russell rode calmly in the car and confidently explored his new surroundings. By day two he was settling down on a dog bed on his own, and even the blender didn't faze him. He had zero accidents, slept through the night in his crate, and relaxes in it during the day too. This boy loves to play! He had a blast chasing balls in the backyard and adores soft toys (so much that he "loved" them all to pieces). He also enjoys gentle pets when he's calm and our eight-year-old son was happy to get some pets in. His training at PHS really shined through. He walks nicely on leash once settled, knows most of his commands, and quickly learned the kitchen and couch were off-limits. Like any puppy, he'll test boundaries for food or snuggles, but he responds well to consistent cues. Russell likes having his people close. He may whine when someone leaves, but he settles quickly once a familiar person sits with him, and he prefers company in the yard. With patience and consistency, this can keep improving. Russell will thrive with an active family who can offer plenty of exercise, clear boundaries, and help building confidence with alone time. In return, you'll get a smart, playful, affectionate companion who's well on his way to being a great family dog.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! 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.October 17, 2026, 3:59 pm

Story
Meet Roo, the adorable kangaroo-like pup! Roo came into the Shelter as a stray found dragging a blue rope. With his stray hold expired, he is now eligible for adoption. We are not sure of Roo’s exact breed or age so we just took a good guess.Roo is an adolescent in every sense of the world – exuberant, playful and eager to learn. He has been social with people and dogs alike. He would likely enjoy a canine playmate in the home after a meet ‘n greet at the Shelter. Roo can sometimes be mouthy when he is excited. Adopters should have some toys and appropriate chews handy to redirect Roo’s mouthing behavior. Roo is still perfecting life skills and manners like potty training, leash walking and age appropriate socialization. Adopters should plan on bonding with him through positive reinforcement based training to help him learn to grow into a good canine citizen. We do not have any history of Roo with children or cats. Roo is available for pre-adoption. Come meet him, fall in love and take him home after his neuter surgery. The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is now offering “Pawsitivity Bucks” with every dog adoption. This $200 training voucher is a way for newly adopted canines and their guardians to connect with local positive reinforcement based behavior consultants and get their relationship started off on the right paw!Please note: Our Santa Cruz location’s Shelter hours are 11-6pm, 7 days a week! Although clients can walk through and see any animals in their kennels during open hours, we end “meet and greets” (aka meeting an animal out of the kennel) at 4:30pm every day. If you’d like to meet an animal out of the kennel, please arrive before 4:00pm to allow for time to discuss individual animals and meet them.

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog F:5Bennie is a 2-year-old, 46-pound pittie mix who's really come into his own. Once a little unsure, he now happily plays fetch and flops over for full-body wiggles. On field trips, Bennie enjoys running on the beach, exploring trails, and greeting people with a wagging tail. He walks nicely on leash, often checking over his shoulder to make sure you're still with him. Squirrels definitely bring out his bouncy side, but he responds well to hand signals for "sit," and is a quick learner when treats are involved. After an adventure, he's happy to nap in the car. Bennie may be a little hard of hearing. Our volunteer groomer reported he startles easily, but recovers quickly with a little reassurance. Otherwise, this sweet and cuddly guy was wonderful for his bath and nail trim. While Bennie has been social and relaxed meeting other dogs, he had a disagreement during a playgroup session and might be best as the only dog in his future home. That way he can focus on what he loves most: exploring with his people, chasing tennis balls, and claiming a well-earned spot in your lap.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Oakland Animal Services (OAS) (@oaklandanimalservices)  October 17, 2026, 3:59 pm
