Story
This is Lola. She is a sweet dog that love to go for walks, snuggle under blankets and sleep on pillows. She loves treats but hates car rides though she gets used to car rides longer than 20 min. She is a sweet and snuggly dog but she can be protective and will bark at people she doesn’t know. She is food motivated and loves treats and bones. She is in good health for being 12 years old. Her teeth aren’t the greatest and she will need teeth removed eventually but she isn’t experiencing any pain or having any problems eating. I love her to pieces but she deserves a quiet home without the stress of a baby. She has never bitten anyone but she gets stressed and snappy when around the baby and I don’t want an incident. Lola’s ideal home would be in a quiet home with no other dogs or cats, no young children and with someone who will take her for short walks everyday and snuggle in bed with her.

Story
Age: Around 9 years old Weight: 11 Pounds I've had Lulu since middle school and he has been such a fun and loving part of my life. I'm moving away for college soon and there is no one at home who can give him the time and care he deserves. I'm hoping to find Lulu a wonderful home where he will have space to play and people who will love him. Lulu is energetic, friendly, and super playful. He loves being around people and always brings good energy wherever he goes. He is also very close with my other dog Nunu, and they have grown up together as great companions. It would be great if they could be adopted together, but Lulu will do just fine on his own too as long as he is loved and cared for.

Story
Age: 6 years old Weight: 13 pounds I've had Nunu since high school, and he has been with me through a lot. I'm moving away for college soon, and there is no one at home who is free enough to care for him. I'm hoping to find Nunu a loving home where he'll be comfortable and cared for. Nunu is a bit sporadic but very sweet once he warms up to you. He has his calm moments and funny bursts of energy that make him unique. He loves attention, enjoys being tucked into bed, and has a quirky personality that always makes you smile. He’s also great friends with my other dog Lulu, and it would be wonderful if they could be adopted together, but Nunu will also do perfectly fine on his own as long as he’s loved and looked after.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Gentle Senior Boy!Meet Gucci! Gucci was discovered on the streets by a kind foster family who brought him to SVPP for the medical care and second chance he deserved. Since then, this tiny gentleman has received a full wellness makeover — including a dental cleaning with extractions, neuter, and cherry-eye repair in both eyes — and now he’s feeling better than ever. Gucci is a sweet, affectionate little guy who wants nothing more than to be close to his people. He gets along beautifully with his canine foster sibling and has proven himself to be an all-around delight. Whether he’s riding quietly in the car, showing off his confident leash skills (he’s a dedicated marker!), or snuggling up as close to the fireplace as he can get, Gucci brings charm and warmth wherever he goes. If you're looking for a loyal companion to share life’s adventures, Gucci is ready to be your devoted sidekick. He can’t wait to find the loving home he’s been dreaming of.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 3, 2025, 9:43 pm

Story
12/13/25 13:25Meet Wonder, a 3 year old 21 pound male Chihuahua. He is available for both rescue and adoption. Wonder was a nervous sweet boy, who has over the last month has warmed up more and more to staff and volunteers, initially being very nervous and avoidant, and now over the last couple weeks has warmed up more and more. Wonder has been very easy to leash and walk after some warming up, and in some of his latest interactions with volunteers he came over and leaned in for some pets and picture posing! Wonder would be a very sweet addition to any home willing to build that trust and create a safe environment for him.

Chihuahua

Female, Young
Santa Clara, CA

(when grown) -
Details

Story
Darla has come a long way from her rough past and is finally starting to blossom. She can still be a little hesitant and shy at times, but her wagging tail shows the happy girl she truly is inside. With patience and kindness, she’s learned that people can be friends—going from being fearful to now offering sweet kisses and nose boops. Darla especially lights up for treats (turkey is her favorite!) and greets us with excitement whenever we walk through the door. Energy Level?low House trained?yes Describe how they are on leash?she loves going on walks. she loves to sniff but doesn't pull, she'll trot along happily next to you Describe how they are with other dogs?likes playing with the resident Chihuahua, doesn't seem bothered by other dogs she sees Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they?doesn't show interest. not sure about cats but I'm sure she wouldn't care  Commands they know?nothing really  What are their favorite things?going on walks and eating food What do they need to work on?barking at people, peeing when we go to put the leash on (does a nervous small pee) How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone?totally fine, just relaxes and sleeps. might steal some clothes and bring to her bed Where do they sleep?in a large crate, she's very happy to run in and be in a safe space  What is their ideal home? Darla is a relatively easy to manage dog and doesn't need a lot of attention, but she would do great in a home that can give her time to get settled and that can work with her on her barking and small fears. She's a very sweet girl who's still nervous of new people so it would be good to be somewhere that doesn't have constant new people coming in and out. She doesn't need a dog companion but would probably benefit from having one that can show her people are OK and to keep her comfortable October 19, 2025, 4:03 am
