Story
I adopted Calla Lilly from a rescue about 5 years ago. Her owner had died. She is a senior but has all the energy of a puppy. She is very loving and likes kissing and sitting on your lap. Currently she lives with a very old maltese. She is a great watchdog and will especially protect you from squirrels. She is only 7 lbs, but thinks she is a Great Dane. That’s the problem. I am marrying a man who has a German Shepherd mix, and Calla thinks she needs to protect me from him. We are concerned that Calla could be injured if they find an opportunity to fight or if the German Shepherd accidentally hurts her while trying to play. The maltese will not provoke the German Shepherd and is much bigger. She would probably do well in a family with children who would run and play with her.

Story
Klondike is a 4 year old, 90 lb, all-white German Shepherd who has so much love to give. He is an absolute angel, walks great on leash, takes treats gently, and is wonderful with dogs and small kids. He knows basic commands like sit, stay, down, and has great recall. He is so friendly, greeting everyone with a big smile. He reserves his biggest tail wags for his people, who he loves with all his heart. He loves pets, cuddles, head scratches, and belly rubs. Although he is a big love bug, please no cats for him. He is a low-to-medium energy dog who is very content sleeping on his bed most of the day, but loves when it’s time for walks and fetch with his ball. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date on preventatives. Klondike is a velcro dog with some separation anxiety who loves to be with his people/person. He would do best with a family where someone is home all day (either WFH or retiree) or someone who wants to take their furry friend with them everywhere!

Story
Mazikeen is such a sweet girl once she warms up to you. She will be your favorite cuddle buddy. She loves going for long walks, dinner time and her daily chewy snacks. Maz could use some training to reach her full potential. Due to her young age, she is still moldable and eager to learn. I never had any intention of rehoming my baby, but recent female-female tension with my other Rottie had led me to this road. I am hoping she finds a home where she is loved just as much as she is in my home. Please reach out if your intentions are good for this sweet soul!!

If you do not receive confirmation from us, email adoptions@hsnb.org.-----Introducing...ZIA - a sugary sweet Shepherd mix who just wants to be held and snuggled, while she exposes her belly to you, after she hugs you! 💖 ZIA will look into your soul...and you won't be able to resist her gaze.According to a longtime HSNB volunteer who has spent time with this sweet girl, "ZIA gives the best hugs; she leaned into every human we passed like she's known them and loved them forever. Walking her is smooth and relaxed, no pulling, just calm, quiet stepping..."ZIA is still settling in and seems a little shy around other dogs, which isn't surprising given she appears to have recently had a litter and may still be feeling fragile. With people, though, ZIA has exhibited nothing but trust so far. She'll roll onto her back, fully exposed, and happily sit right next to you and receive pets. Bonus details: nice teeth, soft eyes, and a gentle presence.And if all this delightfulness isn't enough... she's potty-trained, too!

NOTE:Submit the adoption interest application directly at our HSNB website:https://www.hsnb.org/dog-adoption-applicationWe may not receive anything submitted through PetFinder or Adopt-A-Pet! If you do not receive confirmation from us, email adoptions@hsnb.org . -----Introducing ... PICASSO! This ultra-handsome Pit Bull Terrier cuddle bug is named after a revolutionary artist but the primary thing that sets this handsome guy apart -- besides his gorgeous blocky black and white painterly fur markings -- are his irresistible kisses! Make sure you have your glasses wipes handy if you wear glasses, because you will end up with some Picasso kisses on your face. Although Picasso is fairly new to the shelter, based on the interactions we've seen at the shelter and at a recent pet-themed festival where he met dozens of new people and dogs, PICASSO is good with other dogs of all sizes and people of all ages. He has not yet been cat-tested. He can be been known to be a bit of an escape artist, but with the right forever home that dedicates plenty of time to giving this guy all the exercise and play time and constructive training this young, active dog needs, we believe he will make an ideal family companion. Picasso walks well on leash and is just an all-around great dog. He loves to strut his stuff on leash, gets supah goofy in the play yard, but he also loves to roll on his back and get belly rubs and cuddles. Although he did receive lots of love and admiration at the festival, PICASSO has not yet met his forever family. That means he is still available for adoption at Humane Society of the North Bay in Vallejo. To apply for a meet-and-greet with this charming guy, fill this out: https://www.hsnb.org/dog-adoption-application/ Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Black Weight: 58 Age: 1yrs 7mths 0wks
