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
I'm reaching out to see if you may be able to help with placement for a sweet senior dog in San Jose. Buddy is a 10-year-old Chihuahua mix, small-sized, and well cared for. His owner is no longer able to care for him due to personal circumstances and is hoping to find a rescue or foster-based placement rather than surrendering him directly to a shelter. Buddy is: Small breed (Chihuahua mix) Approximately 10 years old Calm, gentle, and manageable Comfortable in a home environment Located in San Jose, CA We can provide photos, additional background, and help coordinate a smooth transition. If you’re unable to take him in directly, we would be grateful for any referrals or guidance. Thank you so much for the work you do and for any consideration you can offer. Warm regards, J

Story
Abby came to me in March from my Uncle and we recently found out he wont return home, so are looking to find Abby her forever family. Abby is a very low maintenance older pup. She does experience anxiety in louder, busy environments. She also takes awhile to build trust. That said, she is very independent and does not need much to care. She lived in a condo for the last 10+ years, mostly just interacting with my Aunt and Uncle. They pee pad trained her so that they didnot need to take her outside. Because of that, she does not like going outside, has really never used a leash or worn a collar. She uses her pee pads like a pro! She sleeps the majority of the day, never barks, likes a good head scratch and once she trusts, a belly rub. I have two dog beds for her at home and she basically spends her time going from one to the other. Since she is pee pad trained, she can be home alone for 12 hours and has no issues being alone.

Story
Hi my name is Lola. I am a super sweet pup that loves to go for walks, snuggle under blankets and sleep on pillows. I loves treats but am not a fan of car rides though I get used to it for rides longer than 20 min. While I’m sweet and snuggly I can be protective and will bark at people I don’t know though if they give me a treat I’ll consider tolerating them. I’m in good health for being 12 years old. I still get the zoomies and love eating. From my human: 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. She will go to her new home with a ramp to get up and down from the bed, treats, and the flea and tick medication she uses.

Hi, this is Boots and she is about to be 3 years old in March. She has been with me since she was born and is a very sweet and playful dog. She’s healthy, spayed and current on vaccines but does need training. She’s very smart and listens. It hurts me a lot to have to give her up but I do have another dog who she doesn’t get along with and they keep fighting, so I’m hoping to be able to find her a forever home who can give her lots of love.

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
My sister-in-law lives in an assisted living facility and has a 14 year old chihuahua dachshund mix name Lulu. My SIL is wheelchair bound and unable to properly care for Lulu. Lulu is a good, loyal, and loving dog who has developed poor hygiene due to my SIL’s restricted mobility. The facility has asked that she re-home the dog, and has given a short timeline. Thank you for whatever help you can give us. A picture of Lulu is attached.
