Meet Ollie! This 10-12-month, 35lb bundle of happiness is handsome, house-trained, affectionate, playful, and incredibly smart.Rescued from an overcrowded shelter with just hours to spare, Ollie is making the most of his second chance!

He loves toys, playtime, naps, and adventures (he's a great co-pilot!). Despite his youthful energy, he knows when it's time to relax and does very well home alone.Ollie is neutered, full-grown, eager to please, and ready to learn. His fluffy tail is always wagging!Not too big, not too small, Ollie is Goldilocks' "just right" companion!

Story
CallingBuddy is a little dog with a gentle heart, looking for a patient adopter to help him keep building confidence. After a difficult start in life, he's learning that people can be safe and kind, and he grows braver every day.Buddy is quiet, sweet, non-aggressive, and happiest in a calm environment with a predictable routine. He loves cozy beds, sunny spots, and having a safe place to relax. He's not comfortable being handled or pet, but wants to be close and connect. He's shy but curious. Very treat-motivated and has begun approaching trusted people on his own terms.His ideal home is with someone who understands that trust is earned, not rushed. Buddy doesn't need adventures or constant attention. He simply needs patience, consistency, and the freedom to move at his own pace. He has so much potential! Buddy would thrive in a quiet home with indoor/outdoor access to a secure, enclosed balcony or yard (he doesn't go on walks), and a kind person who finds joy in earning a dog's trust.

Story
Hello, my name is Bailey! I am a 1 year old, spayed female, Hound mix who weighs about 60 lbs. I am a friendly and bouncy gal who cannot wait to meet you! Looking for a new friend to live life to the fullest with? I'm your gal! I am outgoing and love exploring, sniffing, and running in the yard for fun. I have lots of energy, so I'd be a great new adventure buddy for you; we can go on hikes and check out the beach! :) I'm a smart lady, but still learning my manners, so please be patient and ready to teach me. I'd love to meet you and the whole household, including any resident dogs, before adoption. Come in to meet me today! Bailey ID# A0984610 I recently went on a field trip with a PHS Volunteer! Here's how I did: Bailey did really well. We went hiking and finished with a short jog. She was friendly and wanted to say hi to everyone and every dog, but also easily redirected as we walked on. She was curious and enjoyed sniffing all the new scents on the trail. She was a good jogging partner. She also enjoyed running in the yard once we were back at the house, but also settled down in the shade after a while. She was sweet, affectionate and likes all the toys (squeaky stuffed animal, rope toy and tennis ball etc.) I hope she finds a home soon!    Unless 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.

Hello there friends, my name is Denali! I'm a 2 year old, 55lbs., spayed female Labrador Retriever mix. I'm energy, affection and pure goofiness combined into one perfect package.

Story
Hello World! My name is Teddy and I'm a 4 year old, 86lbs., neutered male Standard Poodle/ Golden Retriever mix who is the perfect mix of independence, goofy playfulness and opera singer. When you meet me, the first thing you'll notice is my height. The second thing you'll notice is my kind and gentle nature. I may seem like a big confident dog, but I'm feeling a little nervous right now. I have a heart of gold and I'm waiting for the right family to give all my love to. Once I'm comfortable, I can be very loving, playful and vocal. I would do best with folks who have had large breed dogs like me! I would love to meet the entire household, including any resident dogs before going home. Come on down and hear all about me! If it's a good fit, let's meet!

Story
Hi there! My name is Sonnet and I'm a 4-year-old, spayed, pit bull mix that weighs about 47lbs. I'm a total sweetheart with an inquisitive side. I love to sniff and investigate new places before saying hello to new friends. It's nothing personal; I just love to take in new information. Once I've had a chance to check out my surroundings, I will say hello and want to play. I LOVE FETCH! It is my absolute favorite game! Sometimes it's the only thing I can focus on so I'm hoping for a family that is prepared to continue my training and help me learn that there's more to life than just ball. I'm also still working on some social skills. I could be the perfect adventure buddy for someone that's looking for a sidekick. Before I officially join the family, I'd like a chance to meet the entire household including any resident dogs. I'm sure we'll all have so much fun!
