Story
I rescued Kodak from the Milpitas Humane society as a 12 week old puppy. He is playful, loves to snuggle, and is eager to please. He is very smart and easy to train. He knows the basic commands (sit, stay, down, come, shake, heel, etc) and he is house, potty, and crate trained. Kodak went through K9 training a year ago and is very good on a leash, however he has some reactivity when he sees other dogs that he still is working on. He currently lives with 4 other dogs that he get along well with. He’s typically great meeting new dogs if supervised, but it takes time for them to warm up to his very playful personality. Kodak is an energetic and an active dog some days, and other days he will sleep in my bed from morning to night. He is my best friend, and it breaks my heart to find him a new home. I am a horse trainer and travel most of the year for shows. Unfortunately, this has shown to be a lifestyle not fit for Kodak. He needs a home where he can be his active, playful self.

Story
Dolly is about 18 months old and was adopted from the Humane Society of Silicon Valley. She is a 55-pound mixed breed (about a quarter German Shepherd and a quarter Pit Bull). I have had her for almost a year but have to relocate for work and can no longer provide the time and space she needs. She loves to run after her frisbee or any stick and is a great hiking companion. Dolly's a big cuddler and loves to lean into a belly rub whenever the opportunity arises. She is nervous when meeting new people and dogs but warms up quickly. She does not have experience interacting with cats or kids. Dolly would do best in a home that can continue her training (currently working with Petra K9 in San Jose) to help ease her anxiety around new settings. She has basic training including crate training and responds well to a structured schedule.

Story
Kato is a loyal, intelligent, and gentle 8-year-old dog who we adopted 4 years ago from another loving couple. Kato bonds closely with his humans. He is affectionate, mild-mannered, low maintenance, and thrives on one-on-one companionship. We made the difficult decision to rehome him after an incident where our toddler pulled on him while he was eating. This made us realize that a home without small children would be safest and best for everyone. Kato is house trained, leash trained, very smart and observant, calm and gentle with adults, excellent about doing his business quickly on walks, and happy with a minimum of two daily walks (AM/PM) and scheduled feedings. He has mild separation anxiety but does well being left alone once he adjusts to a new environment. He may bark at new people at first, but he isn't aggressive and does not bite. He loves having a window or balcony for him to look out and observe. We will wait as long as needed for the right match for him.
