Danville, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Blue, an adorable, neutered Pit/Lab mix, 18-months old, with an affectionate heart and endless enthusiasm. Blue is a genuinely sweet, lovable boy who adores people. He’s crate-trained, healthy, and has a great appetite.Because Blue is a high-energy, high-drive young pup, he is looking for an experienced owner who knows how to manage and channel his excitement. He gets over-enthusiastic when greeting people (animals and children)—jumping up, whining, or lightly nibbling when stimulated—and needs a confident handler who can provide consistent structure, training, and boundaries. Blue is not an overly aggressive dog but he requires plenty of daily mental and physical stimulation to prevent boredom, making a home with a large, fenced backyard ideal for him to run and thrive. If you have experience with working or active breeds and are looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion to grow with, Blue is ready to meet you!

Story
Meet Pepper, my sweet little foster girl who’s looking for her forever home! 🖤🐾 She’s about 20 lbs and estimated to be around a year old. We don’t know her breed, but she looks like a little mix of dachshund, Chihuahua, and maybe shepherd or Lab—whatever she is, she’s adorable! Pepper loves women, and all she wants is to be cuddled and loved. She can be nervous around unfamiliar men and needs slow introductions, but she’s gotten along wonderfully with my fiancé once she’s had time to feel comfortable. 🤍 She knows “sit,” waits for her food, and is working on coming when called. She does get a little anxious when left alone, which we’re also working on through training. She’d love a patient, loving home with someone who enjoys having a little cuddle buddy. Message me if you’d like to learn more about Pepper, and please share to help her find her person!

Story
We got Piper from a rescue as a puppy. She is 10 years old now. Piper is a very sweet dog as long as there is someone with her at all times. She isnt very active. She suffers from anxiety when left alone. My mom lived with us until last year and was home with Piper all the time but she has passed and we work full time and she suffers all day. She doesn't like a crate if no one is home but will tear things up if not in a crate. Piper needs a home where someone is home constantly. We love Piper and want her to be happy, but she just is not happy here because she is alone alot. We have another dog that Piper gets along with but that doesn't make her happy or help with her separation anxiety. Piper would thrive with a stay at home or retired person.

Poppy

Bernedoodle

Female, Adult
San Ramon, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We are looking to rehome our Bernedoodle. She is 7 years old and lives with another Bernedoodle and 2 cats. Poppy (brown female) is the older and has gone through a fair amount of training. She is well trained but high energy. She has minor resource aggression which has been managed easily with adults but with the addition of a toddler to the family is cause of concern and the rehoming process. Poppy is incredibly loving, will snuggle on the couch, go on walks and greet guests with butt wiggles. She is high energy at times which comes with zoomies and barking. She lives with 2 cats who they love. She is good with middle age and older kids, just risky around toddler. Poppy cannot be put in a kennel, we tried multiple training cycles with it and she is extremely reactive. She would do well with another dog in the home but not required.

Emi

Akita

Female, 10 yrs 7 mos
Walnut Creek, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Emi Emi’s sleek, brindle coat is a thing of beauty and so magnificent to behold. Engaging, charismatic, gregarious, and spirited are the first things you sense about her from the moment she enters a room. Emi exudes a brand of joy that makes her impossible to resist! Not until you witness her graceful elegance and see a bit of frost around her muzzle, do you realize she is a senior beauty with an abundance of life experiences to share. She’s 8 years old and has found herself homeless, but she’s seen enough in life to know there’s still a wondrous journey ahead. She is a lover of people and she’d much rather be enjoying a fun adventure with you by her side on interesting walks or trips to the beach, than be left at home alone. She needs to be an only dog and is not suitable with cats. She is approximately 60 lbs. and seems unaware she has some arthritis and hip dysplasia. But as you can see, she enjoys playing with her toys and doing tricks for treats. Her healthy curiosity keeps her engaged in life’s adventures, though she also loves her beauty naps. Please don’t let her age deter you from considering giving her a home. Her heart is overflowing with love. If you are interested in Emi, please complete our adoption application in the link below.
