FOSTER CARE! Hello, my name is Rudy and I'm a 3-year-old, neutered shepherd mix that currently weighs about 45lbs. I'm a sweet and friendly guy that's hoping for a family that understands my special needs don’t make me any less loveable! I have a chronic balance issue that causes me to have a bit of a wobble, especially when I'm excited. But don't worry, I'm still a happy go lucky guy and I've adapted just fine! Sometimes other animals don't understand my signature wobble, so I'd like to be the only pet in the household. I can be very affectionate and I love playtime!

Story
FOSTER CARE! Hi, my name is Charlie! I'm a 2 year old, neutered male, Pit Bull mix who weighs around 65 pounds. If you'd like a super smart, affectionate, energetic best friend, then look no further! I've done lots of obedience training with my fosters, and I'm a champ at down, stay, place, leave it, and recall. I love to learn (and I'm very treat motivated), so I'd like to go to even more classes with my new family--maybe even a nose work class since I'm a star at scent work and excel at finding challenging hides. In addition to mental stimulation, I'll need consistent walks (or runs, if that's more your speed).  You could also take me to play dates with other dogs, as I'm extremely social and love romping with dogs outside the home. I have a rough-and-tumble play style, and I do best with dogs of a similar size. Once I've had exercise and mental stimulation, I'm the biggest cuddler you've ever met. I absolutely adore my people and want to be by their side. I could possibly do well living with a resident dog, though I would need a family that can help me work on my sharing! If you have another dog in the family, please bring him or her in to meet me so we can make sure we're a good match. I have a lot of love to give and can't wait to find my forever home. If I sound like a good fit, please ask about me! Charlie ID# A946468 Since I’m not at the adoption center, you can make arrangements to meet me by emailing behavior@phs-spca.org You may also submit your fully completed Adoption Profile Form to behavior@phs-spca.org and a staff member will call you to conduct a phone interview before making an appointment to meet me in person.

Story
Hello! My name is Tiana and I'm a spayed, 6-year-old, Pit Bull mix that currently weighs about 56lbs. I am bursting at the seams with excitement! I am the loviest love bug there ever was! I will come right up to you and paw at you until you give me lots and lots of hugs and kisses. I may be 6 years old, but I still have plenty of pep in my step! I love going on walks and my friends here at PHS say I can jump pretty high! Although I am absolutely smitten with people, I'm not so sure about dogs. I'm hoping for a family who is familiar with bully breeds and is prepared to work on my human and dog social skills. If you are looking for a sweetheart like me, stop on by and say hi! For more information, just ask about Tiana ID# 953121Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.  You may call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment, or just drop by.
