Story
Callie is a 2 year old Rottweiler who is an amazing dog. She loves chasing after a ball and frisbee, and she enjoys going on walks and car rides. We took her in at 9 months last year. She was an amazing surrogate to the 7 other puppies we rescued, but unfortunately, things have changed and she and two of the other dogs in our home don’t get along anymore. We have tried to get the puppies adopted with no success. Our only other alternative is to find a good home for Callie. Callie is:• Spayed, fully vaccinated, and boosted• House trained• Playful with balls and frisbees• Great in the car and on walks• Accustomed to using a crate• obedience trainedIdeally, we would love to find a home where we can stay in touch and even be her permanent dog sitter if needed! We have all her medical records ready to provide and more information for serious inquiries.💰 Rehoming fee: $250 Includes: Crate, K9 ballistic bed, and medical records.

Story
Teddy is a few months shy of 3 years old in November. He is a sweet and gentle giant who thinks he’s a lap dog! He loves getting all the cuddles and playing with his toys especially tennis balls! He prefers to not have little hands around as we noticed it keeps him on edge. He is good boy who is crate trained and house trained! We are looking for a home that will be able to provide him love and extra cuddles minus the sweet high pitched talk which he is not a fan of. He is a great dog and we want the best for him in his new home!

Story
PLEASE READ THE FULL LISTING BEFORE APPLYING!Meet Mochi!We brought these two sweet puppies home at 8 weeks old, thinking raising two together would be easier. We quickly realized we underestimated how much attention two puppies need!We have three daughters (19, 11 & 5). Between kindergarten, gymnastics, volleyball, student school board, nursing school, work, and family responsibilities, life gets pretty busy.Both puppies are incredibly sweet, playful, and loving. We’ve decided to find a wonderful home for one of them so we can give the other the individual attention they deserve.We originally paid $6,000 for the pair, but we’re not looking to recover every dollar we spent. Finding the right home matters most. Rehoming fee: $2,000.SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY: Please make sure everyone involved in the decision is on board and your household is ready for a puppy before applying or scheduling a meetup. We appreciate your respect for our time!

Story
Max was born on 5/11/25. He and 5 other litter mates were dumped at a park in San Jose between 3-5 weeks old by an unhoused couple. Max is very playful, he is good with kisses on his face and hands in his food. He is crate trained and has gone through some obedience training. He is also good on a leash and loves his walks, car rides, and belly rubs. Max and his remaining litter mates have been with us for over year. We are praying for a family to love him as much as we have for this past year. We are willing to dog sit for Max, if needed. We can also provide 6 months worth of dog food and treats. Please reach out to us if you are sincerely interested. Also he is very close with his sibling Sadie Jane who is also here available for adoption and we are also willing to sit for both Max and Sadie Jane if ever needed. If you have room for both in your home and heart, I know they would love to remain together.

Story
Neena (was Tootsie) was at a distant and very crowded shelter for a long time and her time was running out. When volunteers took her out she was friendly and great with all the dogs on leash and in dog play groups (off leash). Did great with transporter. She is very skinny and needs to put on weight. Once out at her foster home on 11/17/21 she was nervous but warmed up fast to her foster home but not to their female husky. She was guarding and reactive to their dog at home. Got into a few dog fights. They are keeping them separate and giving her time to adjust. 11/28/21 Update: Took about a week but Neena is now doing fine at her foster home and with their other female dog. She is the top dog at their home. They love their walks and hanging out. They do feed in seperate areas. She still need more basic and leash training. 1/12/22 Update: Still working on leash training to teach her to stop pulling and not be so excited when seeing other dogs while on walks. 3/28/22 Update: Foster hasn't attempted to test Neena with cats however they can see Neena has a strong prey drive so if the cat runs it is expected Neena would chase. She is now great with foster home's female husky.March 7, 2026, 12:25 pm
