Story
Ruby is an 8 year old mix breed who we adopted as a puppy from the SF SPCA and have had ever since. She is ~55 lbs and very good natured and trainable. She knows all her basic commands - sit, stay, come, shake, wait, and even dance. Historically she was very active but now in her middle age is very happy lounging all day or out for a run or hike or chasing a frisbee. We are only looking for a wonderful home for Ruby. She currently lives in a busy home with young kids that makes her uneasy and we think she will do better in a home with kids ages 6+ or no kids at all. She'd be comfortable in a city, suburban or rural home setting. She is generally pleasant with other dogs, except if they come to her "turf" at home she will bark territorially. While she has never lived with a cat, she hasn't had any major reactions the few times she has met them and we suspect would be just fine. We are happy to have her back for long weekends or whatever time you might need a dog sitter in the future!

Bronx

Border Collie

San Anselmo, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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
Lil Johnny might be small at the moment, but he has a big personality! He is a peppy, fun, smart, active puppy with great focus. He loves treats and he loves to play tug, both very handy characteristics when it comes to training. He is sure to be the superstar of his puppy class and would be a great candidate for dog sports or other training-focused activities. And when he isn't busy impressing you with his wit and drive, he will also fill the "loving companion" category with ease- bully breeds are known to love you with their whole heart. Once you go pit, you'll never quit! Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Tan Points Weight: 9.4 Age: 0yrs 0mths 9wks

Federico

Beagle Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Male, Young
Novato, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Federico is a spunky little guy who loves to play fetch or just run in general. There is nothing like a good role in the grass. He loves it! He can be very affectionate and likes other dogs, though he is not above correcting a rude dog. Once he is done exercising, he will need a nice lap to lay on for a snooze. Federico can also entertain himself with a toy as long as you meet his exercise needs. Federico needs to join an active family who hikes, jogs or any kind of exercise where you need a partner and would especially enjoy a family that is ready to get into the hobby of dog training or dog sports. Federico is a great little dog who will stick by your side and be a friend forever. Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Black Weight: 17 Age: 1yrs 9mths 4wks
