Story
Cecelia—affectionately known as “CeCe”—is a loving, gentle, and well‑trained girl looking for her forever home. She is currently not spayed and has an easygoing temperament, excellent manners, and truly enjoys being part of a family.CeCe walks beautifully on a leash and responds reliably to commands such as sit, down, heel, potty, and up. She loves toys, plays respectfully, and is not known to be destructive. Her previous owner raised her from 12 weeks old alongside a cat and a young child, and invested significant time in her training and socialization. She even began emotional‑support training, which she excelled at, but was unable to continue due to cost.CeCe does have a few food allergies (chicken, beef, and possibly pork), but she thrives on salmon‑based diets. She is currently eating Taste of the Wild Smoked Salmon & Rice and enjoys sweet‑potato treats.Her previous family loves her deeply but can no longer keep her due to housing restrictions related to her size and breed.

Story
Luna is a beautiful 2‑year‑old French Bulldog with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She came from an unfortunate situation, but despite her rough start, she has remained sweet, social, and eager for affection. Her previous foster family adored her but had to relocate and could no longer continue her care. She is excellent with cats and kids, making her a wonderful fit for families. Luna does have a bit of an alpha personality, so if joining a home with another dog, she will need slow, thoughtful acclimation and an owner who understands how to guide introductions. As a high‑maintenance breed, Luna will thrive best with an experienced owner familiar with Frenchies and their unique needs. She is sensitive to heat and prone to breathing issues, so she requires a home that can keep her cool, comfortable, and monitored during warm weather or activity. With the right care and an owner who understands her breed, she will be an incredibly loyal and loving companion.

Story
Looking for a loving home for him. I have to move since my partner just passed away. Rex is 10 years old but still acts like a puppy sometimes. He would be good in a home with a single person or family with grown children. He loves to play in the yard and loves his head scratches. My partner and I adopted him from the Oakland SPCA

Story
We bought Oreo for $200 at 8 weeks old-born March 2025. Very friendly, very beautiful dog. One black eye, one white eye. We rent a room in a house and cannot keep the dog any longer because we must move in 2 month and it will be too difficult to keep Oreo. I want to ensure he gets into a safe, loving home, so I'm taking my time to find him a good home.

Story
Hello, My dog’s name is Timberline nicknamed Tim. He’s been apart of my family since the age of 4months-8years old currently. Looking for a great home and experience dog owners. Type of home environment preferably backyard with tall fences. If kept inside home please make sure to teach him boundaries based on home rules. Timberline requires a lot of outdoor running activities, exercise, and needs to eat twice a day. Please, make sure to separate food and water feeding because his stomach is trained to consume certain things at one time. I have two children 12yrs and 6yrs. He grew up with my oldest child since age 5 and my youngest since newborn. My oldest wants to get a cat now and Timberline doesn’t do well with cats. Puppy Trama from cats. Overall, great guy. Looking for serious dog lovers that will love him, walk him, play with him, and teach him with tons of care. Thanks in advance
