Story
Hello\! I’m looking for help finding a responsible new home for my dog, Agnes\. She is a 1\-year\-and\-4\-month\-old female American Bully\. She has a pedigree and is not spayed\. She is very sweet, affectionate, energetic, and does very well with children\. Unfortunately, I am currently experiencing a high\-risk pregnancy and am no longer physically able to give her the attention and exercise she needs\. My husband works long hours, so we had to make this difficult decision with Agnes’s well\-being in mind\.

Story
Hi there! My name is Sonnet and I'm a 4-year-old, spayed, pit bull mix that weighs about 47lbs. I'm a total sweetheart with an inquisitive side. I love to sniff and investigate new places before saying hello to new friends. It's nothing personal; I just love to take in new information. Once I've had a chance to check out my surroundings, I will say hello and want to play. I LOVE FETCH! It is my absolute favorite game! Sometimes it's the only thing I can focus on so I'm hoping for a family that is prepared to continue my training and help me learn that there's more to life than just ball. I'm also still working on some social skills. I could be the perfect adventure buddy for someone that's looking for a sidekick. Before I officially join the family, I'd like a chance to meet the entire household including any resident dogs. I'm sure we'll all have so much fun!

Story
In Foster Care Hello there friends, my name is Carmelita! I'm an 8-month-old, spayed Chihuahua who currently weighs around 7lbs. I'm still growing and may get a tiny bit bigger over the next few months, but only a little. I'm a sweet and gentle gal that is working on my confidence. I may need a little time to get to know you, but once I'm feeling comfortable, my playful puppy side starts to shine. I would love to go home to a family with a another dog to help me find my footing. It would also be great if I could go home with a family with older teens or adults only as I work on feeling confident in my own skin. If I sound like the girl for you, please stop on by with the whole family and say hi.  Carmelita ID#A0994630 My foster family want to let you know; "Carmelita is a very sweet girl. She is working on building up her confidence, and has benefited from having a buddy to show her how to do “dog things,” like go on walks and play with toys. She loves playing chase, and is learning what happens when she gets caught. She likes cozy, covered/enclosed spaces for alone time, cuddling with her foster sister, and is warming up to cuddling with people.    She's very curious and prefers going on walks with a dog buddy, which helps her be more confident and playful. She will walk with a person, but she is more scared of noises and people when she's unaccompanied by another dog."Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.  You may call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment, or just drop by.

Story
I'm going on a sleepover! If you are interested in meeting me, I'll be back on 11/15! Hello! My name is Wini! I am a 3 month old, spayed female, labrador retriever mix that currently weighs about 25lbs but can potentially grow up to be anywhere from 55-70 lbs as an adult! I am still a young pup that is full of active energy, curiosity and silly antics. I am always ready to explore and play, so I'm looking for an active family to help me grow into the best dog I can be. I am still learning the ropes and will need to continue my training with lots patience and positive reinforcement. I'm off to a great start though, I am told I have a great "sit" and also know "down" and can give handshakes! With guidance, consistency and plenty of love, I'll be sure to blossom into a bright, wonderful lifelong companion. I'm ready for my forever home, so please be sure to have everyone meet me, including any resident dogs before taking me home with you!   Wini ID#A0997372Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.  You may call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment, or just drop by.

Story
Howdy! My name is Augie and I'm an 11-month-old, neutered, Pitbull mix that currently weighs about 50lbs. I am a friendly guy that starts off a bit shy and cautious. Because of this, I prefer adult-only households or ones with teens or older. Once I'm comfortable, my playful and energetic side comes out and I'll happily show off by running zoomies! I'm still young, so I'll need lots of guidance as I settle into my new home. I can be a little unsure of new things, but with patience, reassurance, and a little time, I'll definitely blossom into a wonderful, interactive companion. If I sound like the right fit, please have everyone in the family including any resident dogs come and meet me before taking me home with you. Augie ID#: A0991533 I've spent some time in foster care! Here's an update from my foster family: Augie is a sweet, affectionate and energetic pup who is learning how wonderful life in a loving home can be. Once he feels safe, his playful personality shines—he loves cuddles, head and ear massages, lounging beside his people, exploring outdoors, playing with dog friends and, of course, zoomies!  Augie is smart and eager to learn. He knows several basic cues, is crate trained, walks nicely when calm, and is making great progress with house-training. He can be cautious in new situations and feels most secure when his trusted humans are nearby. Augie is still a young, strong puppy who needs continued training, structure and socialization. He can pull and lunge toward dogs and squirrels on walks, gets very excited and mouthy during play, and is an enthusiastic chewer. For these reasons, Augie would thrive in an experienced, adult-only home, ideally with a secure backyard and plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment. His adopters should be comfortable handling a strong dog and committed to positive behavior training. Augie has already come such a long way. He now understands the comfort of a home, regular meals, walks, cuddles and kindness—and, most importantly, he knows what it feels like to be loved. With patience and continued training, Augie has all the potential to become a wonderfully loyal and loving companion.   Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.  You may call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment, or just drop by.
