Details

Story

Bronx was adopted from the Humane Society of Silicon Valley (HSSV) on April 23, 2023. He was 11 weeks old and weighed 9.20 lbs. and presumed to be a Border Collie Mix but staff was unsure what he was mixed with. Since his adoption he has completed the required Puppy Training course provided by HSSV while also receiving continued training by his family. Bronx is potty trained, knows the basic commands (sit, stay, leave it, etc..) but could benefit from more extensive and regular training and strong leadership from pack leader or family. Bronx loves to run, fetch and socialize with other dogs and people. He has been trained to be both on and off leash and responds to commands when off leash; but keep in mind he's still a puppy and sometimes gets distracted and may need commands repeated. Bronx also can get a little over excited when it comes to meeting other dogs and people and may jump on them or at them to greet them. This is something that will need continuous work to be corrected.

Ringo

German Shepherd Dog Australian Cattle Dog

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

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

Story

Ringo is a 4-year-old German Shepherd mix who was adopted as a puppy from the SF SPCA. He is a loyal, loving, and happy dog who thrives with structure, activity, and plenty of affection. He enjoys two walks a day and a weekly play-group outing, and he settles in well at home during the work day (8–9+ hours). He has been wonderful with the child in his home, though he can be protective when new visitors enter our home. He may jump when unfamiliar people come inside or move in for a hug, but he’s friendly once someone greets him and says hello. On walks, Ringo may bark or lunge at unfamiliar dogs—especially larger dogs—or at runners who pass too closely, though he does very well with dogs and people he knows. Ringo is smart, trainable, and happiest in a calm home with adults or older kids, ideally with adopters who understand or have experience with active working dogs. His family is relocating in 2026 and hopes to find him a loving, stable home where he can continue to thrive.

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

(I'm being fostered in the East Bay)Meet Sir Snorts a Lot, the "frat boy frenchie." He wants to befriend everyone and just have a good time. He adores other dogs and tailors his play style well - with some he rough houses and with others he plays more gently. He is affectionate and has never met a stranger (dog or person). His foster family recently took him to a happy hour and he had a great time chilling under the table (full sploot of course) and soaking up all the pets from the passersby. He's got an adorable wrinkly face with bright eyes that seem to always be searching for love. The cutest thing about Sir Snorts a Lot is that if you pet his butt, he will usually flop over on his back to give you a chance to pet his belly too. Plus he loves laying on his tummy and kicking his hind legs straight out for maximum comfort. Unlike his name, he does not actually snort a lot! He lives in a home with many other dogs (big and small) and gets along well with them - he would be a great addition to an existing pack or a wonderful solo dog! Primary Color: Black Brindle Weight: 27.8 Age: 2yrs 0mths 2wks
