Story
We adopted "Meeko" at Silicon Valley Humane Society on December 26th, 2025. He was born on October 30th of 2025. Unfortunately, right after we adopted him, my mother-in-law had a stroke, and we became her primary caretakers. This, plus heavy travel and kids' after-school activities, has made it hard to be present for Meeko and has resulted in crating/boarding more than a puppy should be. In the 8 months we've had Meeko, he's been potty trained, crate trained, and we've had him interact with other dogs. He barks minimally, only when outside longer than he wants and occasionally from his crate. He chews through soft dog toys and stuffies. Initially, he chewed some non-dog toys but seems to be much better at knowing what is his.

Story
Kash is very energetic and loves to be with people . His is about 3 years old , I had gotten him from my brother who got him as a puppy . Kash is very sweet , loves dog park and walks . He also loves to go to the park and chase squirrels . He can be a bit of an escape artist so the backyard will need to be secure as he will push against boards until one gives .

Story
Is very active and loves people and attention. Sadly cannot keep due to having a busy schedule and not giving her the attention she needs. It’s good with kids. Not trained however she is potty trained and crate trained. Although she is not trained she understands basic commands, “sit”, “leave it”, “out” , “off”. I have a daughter and the dog is great with her. I want to avoid taking her to a shelter but can’t keep her for much longer.

This sweet girl is a family dog that loves the outdoors too. She likes to hunt rodents and play. Not much on “catch”. Will let out a howl on occasion and a Siberian Husky talking routine. She has had puppies and does very well in that role too. A good all around girl.
