Story
I adopted Nova from a German Shepherd rescue in LA back in 2018 — they estimated she was about 2-3 years old at the time, which would make her around 10 now. She's a very chill, easygoing dog who's great with people, including small children. She's fully house trained, walks well on a leash, and isn't much of a barker (the doorbell is really the only thing that sets her off!). She's very food motivated, so fair warning — she will try to steal food if given the chance 😄 It does take her a bit of time to warm up to other dogs, especially smaller ones, so she'd do best in a calm, patient home — ideally without other small dogs, or with a gradual introduction if there are other pets. For her next home, I'm hoping to find someone patient and loving who can give her a comfortable place to spend her senior years.

Story
Meet Zuko! A 5 year old Doberman pinscher. He does great with other dogs but wouldn’t recommend him living with an unfixed male. Zuko will most likely need a handler that’s had previous experiences with Dobermans. He is crate trained and will come with a few supplies if requested.

Story
Cleo birthday is 5/11/25, he is the biggest of his litter mates. He was dumped at a park in San Jose at 5 weeks old by an unhoused couple.Cleo is very chilled. He loves to play with his litter mates. He is good with kisses on the face and hands in his food. He is very gentle when taking a treat from your hand. Cleo, along with his remaining litter mates have been with us for over a year now. Four of the pups have already found their forever homes.Cleo is fixed and has gone through some obedience training. We also did his DNA and were surprised with the results. He has Great Dane, boxer, and pitty are just a few of the breeds found in his DNA. He is very loving and should probably go to a home with other dogs. He has never been alone as I work nights and my husband works days. Praying for a family to love him as much as my family has for this past year. If you can find a place in your heart and home to adopt this cutie please reach out to us.We can also provide medical records too.

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.
