Story

Sweetest baby needs a loving and patient home. We got her out of a bad situation and need to see her go to her loving forever home. She has two modes this young, hyper play and floppy cuddly. She sleeps next to us all night, and sleeps soundly through 90% of nights. Sometimes she lets us know she needs to use the restroom. She is being housetrained, and MOSTLY goes on the pads, but occasionally only uses the restrooms *near* the pads. She's trying. Smart and friendly!

Mookie

Newfoundland Poodle (Standard)

Male, Adult

Piedmont, CA

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Mookie is a beautiful, regal (and sometimes goofy) looking dog. He likes to play with other dogs & go out on walks. He loves teenagers & energetic happy people. He needs exercise daily but also sleeps a lot of the day. He’s had training and walks well on a leash although he can be reactive to scooters and bicycles. The right owner/place for Mookie will be where there is/are very experienced, confident dog owners because Mookie has resource guarding issues and a bite history due to fear aggression, we think. Most of the time he is calm and eager to follow commands. He is super food motivated & eagerly awaits treats & rewards. He responds well to structure & consistency. We have worked in the past with a dog psychologist and trainers to help us manage his behavior. He tends to guard/police the areas he inhabits and, is usually calm and manageable now, but he can be moody. Mookie is a sweet boy but I think would do much better in a single-dog family. He loves cuddles and belly rubs!

BayBee

Chihuahua

Female, 5 yrs

Oakland, CA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

BayBee's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous individual so when we approve the perfect adoption application for her, her adoption fee will be waived! This long and lanky chi mix will melt right into your heart with those big adoring eyes. Baybee (5-6 years old? 11lbs) was found as a stray and spent the first two days at the shelter hiding under her bed. A volunteer eventually coaxed her out and had an immediate friend. While timid and a bit skittish right now, Baybee wastes no time warming up to gentle humans and other dogs of all sizes. She loves to be next to people and is learning that a lap is a very wonderful place to be. She has grown leaps and bounds in her confidence after only a few days in her foster home. She does well with her foster siblings (male and female), appears to be potty pad trained, walks on a leash, and sleeps through the night in her own bed. She loves to stretch her long body and drag herself across the floor as if she's swimming - very entertaining! Baybee can be a little skittish in noisy areas like cities etc. She would do best in a home in a quiet neighborhood. We have not tested BayBee with cats however she does take a big interest in critters outside and chasing them. This leads us to believe that she may be a cat chaser. *If you have a cat, we'd suggest a slow introduction with a safe space for the cat to jump up on or go to for personal space from a dog. A baby gate can work wonders for intros such as these*
