Story
Benji is a 5.5-year-old, 80 lb dog who has been a beloved part of our family since he was a puppy (a gift from my mom via a breeder). We are heartbroken to be rehoming him. Benji is so sweet, affectionate, loyal, and goofy, and loves being around his people. He thrives with attention, exercise, and structure. We’re seeking an experienced owner who can provide consistent training and a calm, confident environment. Benji can be anxious and easily spooked, so he must be kept on leash and needs help continuing his training. Benji has had a few incidents, including a dog fight where a person who intervened was bitten (unclear which dog), and an off-leash situation where Benji chased a small dog and knocked over its owner (not out of aggression, but due to not knowing his size/strength). He is strong and needs a capable handler. With four kids/teens in our home and a baby on the way, we can’t give Benji the extra support he deserves. We want a safe, loving home where he can thrive.

Story
Merlin is a 5 year old 80lb Shepard mix. We are a family of 5 with three boys ages 11, 15 and 17. Merlin has been in our family for 4 years. He was adopted from Milo foundation a 1 year old. He is a happy high energy dog that loves to chase sticks and roam. Despite a secure gat around our house he occasionally escapes when a door to the house is left open (there are several) or he finds an open gate. Despite a hike with me in the morning and one with a hired walker that knows him well he continues to escape. We live in a suburban community with many hiking trails but still have busy roads that pose a threat. He’s a free spirit that needs more space, maybe a job to keep him busy and a person or people to love him.

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.

Story
Chip is a 12 year old neutered male terrier mix, weight in at 16lbs. He is a sweet and mellow older gentleman who is looking for a quiet home where he can live out his golden years. He is generally fine with other dogs, and has been with other dogs in his foster home. He has not been seen with cats but would probably be fine, based on his temperament.
