Story
Roscoe is a 4.5-year-old Goldendoodle (parti coat) whos full of love, personality, and energy. He is a loyal, affectionate dog who loves being around people and is happiest when he's included in daily life, whether it's going on walks, hiking, or just relaxing nearby. Roscoe is smart, house-trained, and knows basic commands. He's social and loves attention, but he thrives with structure and regular activity. He would do best with an active individual or family who can give him plenty of exercise and consistency. We've made the difficult decision to rehome Roscoe because our family's schedule and growing commitments keep us out of the house more than we'd like. He deserves more daily interaction and exercise than we can give right now. Roscoe is healthy, up-to-date on vaccines, microchipped, and neutered. He's used to being indoors, sleeps through the night, and has a sweet, silly side that wins everyone over. We're hoping to find a loving, stable home.

Story
IDEAL SHOP DOG. Max is a chill dude. He is 85-90 lbs, loving. HE WANTS TO BE OUTSIDE. Max would LOVE to be a shop dog or to hang out outside in a nice environment. He loves to watch the world go by. He is super mellow. He exhibits some puppy like behavior - pounces like a Tigger with his offspring, but it's short bursts. I currently walk him and when he gets to nice sandy, sunny areas, he would prefer to lie down. He's not out of energy - that is just his preference. I got him from the dessert in the Grand Canyon, a rescue situation. I'm guessing he is only 2 maybe 2.5 years old. He has little white hairs on his face, white chest and white socks. He is a character. He sleeps in my bed with his head on the pillow. I love him. I have other dogs and need to find him a good home where his outside situation is nice - even a porch or a yard/artist or craftsman's shop would be ideal. I don't think he'd be a good guard dog, except he does alert if there is something odd with a (rare) bark.

Story
🐾 Meet Sadie – Your Next Adventure Buddy! 🐾 Sadie is a 6-year-old Pit Bull with a heart full of love and loyalty. She’s the perfect companion for someone who enjoys the outdoors — she loves hiking, trail walks, and runs just as much as she enjoys relaxing by your side afterward. Sadie is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and devoted to her person. She’s happiest when she’s with someone who will give her love, structure, and plenty of time outside. She would do best as the only pet in the home — she’s lived with another dog and a cat before, but she truly shines when she’s the center of attention. Because of her energy and personality, a home without children is must. Sadie is spayed, healthy, and up-to-date on vaccines. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend and adventure partner, Sadie would love to meet you! ❤️

Bronx

Border Collie

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
Ringo is a 4-year-old German Shepherd mix adopted as a puppy from the SFSPCA. He is loyal, loving, and a very happy dog overall. Ringo enjoys two daily walks and weekly play-group outings, and he thrives with structure, activity, and affection. He has been wonderful with the child in his home but can be protective around new visitors, sometimes jumping when unfamiliar people enter or move in for a hug. Although he's generally friendly with people who address him and say hello. On walks, he will bark or lunge at unknown dogs (especially large dogs) or runners who pass too closely, though he does well with familiar dogs. Ringo is smart, trainable, and happiest in a calm home with adults or older kids, and with adopters who understand reactive tendencies. His family is relocating in 2026 and hopes to find him a loving, stable home where he can shine.
