Story
Nora is a wonderful dog and we love her. We love her so much we know we aren't providing her what she deserves right now. Our work and family schedules have made it so Nora doesn't get the attention she deserves. We've also moved into a smaller home with has made the situation worse for Nora. Nora is a sweet soul, she love people and wants to be near them. She is a great mix of playful and eager mixed with easy going and lazy. :) She great we kids and other dogs and she tolerates cats.She is a mix of what we think she js doxie, beagle, and some terrier. She's "long and low" and has ballerina feet - front paws always in first position. She was the pick of litter with her charming colors, including brown dot eyebrows. She also has 1 ear at attention.We've had her since she was a puppy and has been a stable part of the family, but we know if time for something better for her. We've moved cross country twice and various homes due to work, and she's handled every transition well.

Story
Meet Kip: a 5yo neutered male Australian Kelpie / Jack Russell based in Alameda, CA. He's sweet, friendly, and he's on Instagram: (@san_fran_kips_co) Why rehoming? Our family is relocating to Australia. Bringing a dog into Australia requires 180+ days of preparation — more than our timeline allows. We explored every option and are heartbroken, but Kip deserves a stable, loving home. What Kip needs - A fenced yard and regular exercise. He's a sensitive soul — loud noises (buses, skateboards, hair dryers) overwhelm him, so a quieter environment is ideal. He's a real tail-chaser when stimulated. Best suited to adults or calm households with older, dog-savvy kids. Friendly with all humans; mixed with other dogs, especially on-leash. Health: Fully house-trained, vaccinations and rabies titre up to date. Adoption: No fee — donations to a rescue group welcomed If your home could be the right fit, please reach out. He truly is a lovely guy.

Story
This sweet puppy wants hugs from everyone he meets, and more hugs from his person every day. Never shows aggression and he’s extremely popular at the dog park. He’s very confident and curious. He really needs more time and space than I’m capable of giving to him. He’s very food-motivated and easy to train. A place to run and get daily exercise is a must!

Story
Odi is a beautiful goldendoodle who does not shed and weighs 69 lbs. He loves water and baths. Odi is an amazing companion; exceptionally smart, loyal, gentle, and eager to please. He is easy to train and always wants to do the right thing. He will always be near you. He is also an excellent guard dog! Odi is fully housebroken and has no separation anxiety; he is perfectly fine being left alone for hours. He is up to date on all vaccines, and has no allergies or health issues. He also gets along great with other dogs. Odi loves long long walks, the beach, and open spaces to run around. Odi has shown occasional reactivity toward strangers - all in the name of protecting me. There has been 2 incidents of Odi biting people. He can be territorial with balls or bones when at the park (not at home). I now manage him with a soft muzzle and e-collar when outside the home and off leash. Odi needs a dog-savvy person who wants a loyal, loving, and protective companion.

Story
Star is a very quiet and gentle German Shepherd. She rarely barks and enjoys long walks, especially first thing after she wakes up—sometimes after you do. She is a house dog but will happily spend time outside if she has access to a backyard. She loves chasing balls and toys, though she’ll tease you instead of fully returning them. She’ll bring you toys and gently poke you with them when she wants to play. When she wants affection, she’ll rest her head on your arm and stand beside you. Star does not get on furniture or beds; she has her own. She will not wake you in the morning—she considers that unladylike. She enjoys an evening walk every night to do her business. She is very gentle with other animals, especially smaller ones, and would thrive in a home with children or other dogs to play with. She understands simple commands such as “Down,” “No,” her name, and “Lay down.” Star is a healthy weight. She does not swim but can catch balls and loves scratches and snacks. Her only med
