Story
I have been Otis’ person since he was 8 weeks old. But because of a change in my circumstances I am no longer able to keep up with his energetic personality. I am heartbroken to have to rehome Otis but he deserves more than I am able to give.He is a 14 month old sweet and athletic pup. He loves playing and going on adventures with his daycare friends 2x weekly. He is very energetic and needs an active home that can match his high energy personality and keep up with his daily walks.

Story
I have a red nose pit and an English cream golden retriever. We had an accident. There was a healthy litter of 7. I was able to find homes for 4 of them. 2boys and 1 girl left. The fees are not mandatory, but would help me with my costs since I’m currently not working. They are the sweetest and I wish I could keep them, but unfortunately I can’t. I love them and want them to go to good homes. Please take good care of them. They are so sweet and loving. They love to play and are very motivated learners.

Story
Our pet, Simba( Siberian Husky), is a calm, friendly, and loving dog who has been an important part of our family. We acquired him as a young puppy, and he has grown up in a caring home environment. Simba is well-behaved, gentle with people, and enjoys companionship and quiet time. He is currently a mature adult dog and has a very sweet temperament. We are looking for a new home that is safe, stable, pet-friendly, and filled with people who will continue to give him love, attention, and proper care.

Story
Fourteen years ago, we welcomed Rookie into our family from a close family friend, and from the very first day, he became so much more than a pet. He became family. He grew up with our children from middle school through college and has been part of so many precious memories. Now life has brought unexpected changes. Our children have grown up and moved out, and we have relocated to a home that unfortunately does not allow pets. Rookie is a gentle soul who isn't looking for adventure anymore. He is incredibly loving, sweet, and easygoing except around squirrels. We are simply looking for a peaceful home where he can spend his golden years surrounded by kindness. We are hoping to find someone who will welcome him not as "just another dog," but as a cherished member of the family. He deserves a home where he will be loved, cared for, and treated with the dignity every senior dog deserves.

Story
Hi Everyone, My name is Moose. If you looking for a fun, smart, athletic dog to explore the Bay Area with, then I am your guy! I am a champion fetcher and love going to the beach. One of my favorite things is riding in a car and I can barely contain my excitement when I know I am going somewhere for a new adventure. I walk well on a leash, and check in with you often during the walk. People tell me I am very smart and I know lots of tricks. I think I would love doing agility, catching Frisbees or maybe doing nose work. I can be anxious and nervous when someone I don't know tries to pet me. I also don't like my feet touched which makes clipping my nails a bit challenging. This has to do with some stuff that happened when I was younger. My ideal home is with an active, all-adult family and a yard. No kids, please. They scare me. I am neutered, microchipped and UTD on my vaccines. If you want to meet me, please apply at jellysplace.org
