Story
Enzo has been such a special part of our lives. We got him from a family near Fresno who had several corgis available for adoption. From the moment we met him, we knew he was the one. Now at three years old, Enzo is full of personality and energy. Enzo absolutely loves attention — he would happily spend 24/7 by your side if he could! He enjoys eating (he never misses a meal), playing with his toys, running around, and just having fun. He has a playful spirit and brings so much joy to any room. After done playing, he loves to lay down right next to you and relax. He isnt a big fan of tight hugs, but he definitely loves cuddles and being close to his people. Enzo is affectionate, loyal, playful, energetic, and sweet. We are looking for a new home for him because our schedules have become extremely busy, and we want him to have the time, attention, and love he truly deserves. Enzo would do best in a home where he can get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship.

Houdini

Mutt

Cupertino, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
Houdini is a cuddly and silly boy. He needs a lot of mental stimulation and would love lick-mats, definitely needs a yard to run in, and needs a committed owner to continue his training. He has been in a board-and-train with a reputable trainer for 7 weeks, and has made tremendous progress. We are rehoming because he is scared of one of our household members (a tall, loud, man) and he has not been able to break from that. He may benefit from a female only household. Houdini is a goofy guy who loves to cuddle, is fine being picked up, and talks sometimes! He's got husky in him, we can provide his DNA test results if desired. He can be vocally reactive to stimuli such as new people or dogs on walks. He needs stability and an experienced adopter willing to learn his training requirements and carry them out. He knows sit, down, place, leave it, responds to leash pressure and e-collar stimuli, and all around just really needs someone who will love him forever.

Poppy

Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier Chihuahua

Female, Senior
Cupertino, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Story
Poppy is 10 years old and weighs around 20 pounds. We adopted her as a 3 month old puppy. Sadly, while we would love nothing more than to keep her, we need to rehome her due to a change in our family / home situation and our ability to continue to care of her. She is spayed and healthy. She is a really playful, happy and inquisitive dog who loves to befriend anyone and everyone. She is best suited for a home where she is the only pet or maybe one smaller dog or cat if they happen to get along. She is friendly with children but tends to do better with older children. She is a good companion dog and needs only one short walk a day or goes to backyard as needed. She’s also fully trained not to destroy any furniture, household objects or clothes (although she may steal your socks if you keep them within reach!). Please email Goodday990@gmail.com if you are interested in adopting her.

Handsom T

German Shepherd Dog

Story
Handsom T is an absolute sweetheart who is easy going and social. This friendly 8 year old male adores people and loves to smooch! He's interested, but courteous, around other dogs and should integrate well into a household with one or more large dogs.   His high energy and good mobility would make him a great hiking buddy. Since he's a big athletic guy, a strong handler is recommended for leash walks. Like many GSDs, Handsom loves food more than toys, and is an eager eater. He can be a bit grabby when taking treats, but is responding well to the ‘Gently’ command. He would be equally happy as the one and only with a single adopter or as part of a family with older respectful kids.  ##2638406##

Story
Lola T. is a beautiful 7 year old German Shepherd female weighing 64 pounds. She is the perfect size for adopters of all ages. She easily makes friends with people, and playfully seeks attention in a pushy sort of way. She does well in meeting other large dogs, especially males, and does OK meeting females but she can be a bit dominant.   She loves to sniff around every corner of her environment as a curious soul might do.  We are not sure how she would react to cats, but we do know she does great around older kids.  She is easy to walk on leash, rarely pulling, enjoys her walks and occasionally will exhibit some stiffness while walking. Her overall personality is that of a friendly, playful, very affectionate dog that likes attention and lets you know when she wants that attention, but in a loving way. To top all of this she likes car rides, knows basic commands such as "sit", "no", "come", is house-trained and has good, healthy energy.  If you are searching for a devoted, easy to live with dog, and an affectionate loyal friend, then Lola T. is ready to steal your heart. ##2653114##

Story
Meet Hanzi, a handsome German Shepherd boy who has soulful brown eyes.  His personality is that of friendly dog in meeting people, has a medium amount of energy and knows basic commands, i.e., "NO","SIT", "DOWN".   He likes car rides, and does well on walks displaying occasional stiffness, and agile enough to sometimes jump on people near him. He has a habit pulling hard on his leash especially when he sees or smells a small animal and is also interested in other dogs and people.  This is where his knowledge of commands and a strong arm come in handy.  His basic overall nature is that of a gentle, affectionate, social and independent dog who enjoys treats and toys, and thinks a sleeping pad is also a toy.  Unlike some dogs, he bonds quickly to his person and is protective of that bonding, but not aggressively. He is comfortable around older kids and big dogs, but not with any small animal.  All in all, he would be a great addition for anyone choosing to make him part of their family.  He is a good dog ready to be your best friend, and will repay you with his continued loyalty.  ##2601042##
