Story
COURTESY LISTING: Please contact Desiree at 510.575.5086 or desireeshaver@comcast.com. Cesar is a lovable goofball, protective and loyal. He's been professionally trained at a boarding facility but doesn't have a home to return to. He is desperate need of a foster of forever home, and a handler who can provide structure and discipline to continue his journey as a model canine. Cesar has been through so much. His mom was evicted and he was separated from his brother. He's been in and out of homes and was on the euthanasia list at the local shelter before he was rescued by a good samaritan who raised enough money to enroll him at a training boarding facility. All the volunteers have fallen in love with him. What his trainer wrote: Cesar is an excited happy guy who thrives off structure. He’s amazing on leash. He’s also crate trained and is great around food. Even though he gets excited easily, he doesn’t have a ton of energy and would prefer not to do anything too strenuous. ? He would be an amazing only dog but could also live with another dog if he’s given time to adapt. If you would like to have a coffee date with Cesar please contact Desiree at 510.575.5086 or desireeshaver@comcast.com. GoFundMe - please consider donating for Cesar's boarding & continued training: https://www.gofundme.com/f/cesars-new-life?utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet

Story
This is Clark! He is a very good boy but a very energetic boy! We’ve had clark about three months, ever since my Aunt passed away. It has become increasingly clear that Clark needs more than we can give. He is an escape artist and loves to roam the neighborhood. He always find his way back home after taken a nice walk. He needs to be walked but is not good on a leash. He’s a puller. He gets along with other dogs but he has guarded his food from our other dog, not often, but it happens. He is great with kids! He is very tolerant of our toddler, however I think he would do better in a home without kids or a house with older kids because he really needs time and attention. Overall, he is very lovable and sweet but needs someone who can spend time training him, walking him, and giving him a secure yard that he can run around in. We unfortunately don’t have all his vaccination records. We’ve scoured my Aunts home for them but have been unable to locate them.

Story
Ivan is a very sweet and happy fostered Huskador (Husky and Labrador mix) looking for his forever home. He is 3 years old and weighs about 60 pounds and is full of personality. He is very lovable and will be by your side looking for affection and will definitely make you smile every time he receives a pet, a hug, or a treat. Ivan is an all around great dog that gets along with all people, children, and other dogs. He walks well on the leash, does great in the car, and is ready for new adventures. He has been neutered, full vaccinated, and microchipped. He is house-trained, but he does not like being in a crate. Ivan does have a sister named Ivanka whos is posted separately. It would be ideal to keep them together, but we are open to having them get adopted separately. Either one of these beautiful dogs would be a great addition to any loving family. Note: Transport of this dog anywhere in the US can be provided if needed.

Story
Miah is a 3.5-year-old Am Staff mix adopted from Berkeley Animal Care Services. She has made a lot of progress since her shelter days and whatever situation she was in prior to that. However, she has difficult reactive behavior with other animals that we have tried to address, and we no longer feel that we can offer the level of support she needs. Miah is a great companion to people, and we feel that she could thrive with another owner/family experienced with reactive dogs and willing to invest in her continued development. She is loyal, playful, affectionate, and good with kids. If she sounds like a good fit for you, please apply. Miah is spayed, chipped, and up to date on all of her shots.
