Hank

Husky Australian Cattle Dog

Male, Adult

El Cerrito, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We've loved Hank deeply for the past 6 years. He brought us together during Covid & witnessed us get married in the redwoods. He’s been our adventure buddy on hundreds of hikes & has taught us to be more patient and understanding. Our baby is now mobile & we’ve been working our hardest with Hank to help him accept his younger brother. It's heartbreaking for us to admit, but Hank is very stressed by having a little unpredictable creature around the house & needs a family without young kids. Personality: Hank is easygoing, sweet, & friendly. He loves to sleep in, go for a nice hike, & then sunbathe until the sun sets. Hank spends hours on our fenced front porch calmly watching people, dogs, and kids go by. He only ever barks when delivery folks come up the steps. He loves to be around people and is in great health. Needs: In the past Hank has had isolation anxiety. We’ve worked with a trainer on this and he’s improved *immensely* but needs someone willing to continue this training.

Buddy

Lhasa Apso

Male, Adult

El Cerrito, CA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Buddy is a 20#, 8-yr old male, probably a Lhasa Apso mix, who we adopted from a rescue service in 2020. He is loyal, full of personality, and is dashingly handsome! He is very food motivated. He loves being outside but doesn't want much exercise. He gets along great with small dogs, including our other pup. Buddy has two behavioral challenges. First, he can be defensive. If a stranger tries to pet him he may snap without attempting to retreat or give a warning growl. It takes a while to gain his trust. Second, he has significant separation anxiety. He can be left home alone with our other dog for a few hours but will panic if left by himself for long. Daily fluoxetine seems to help. He also does not tolerate a kennel and does not like to be picked up, but does well on a leash.With family and work changes we will not be able to be home with him as much as he needs, and are looking for a home that will love him and accomodate his needs.

Pongo is a real ball of energy, with enough enthusiasm to keep you going all day long.

He's always eager to learn new tricks and commands, and with the right training, he's sure to be the top dog in no time. However, it's worth noting that Pongo may need some extra guidance and training. He's still learning the ropes, but with patience and lots of treats, he'll be a great companion.

Story

Frida would do best in a home with low activity. She loves her adventures outside.. going on walks and hikes, but while in her home Frida would like it to be peaceful and low energy. She would do best with another dog in the home and with no small children or small animals. Frida is a sweetheart, but she scares easily. A more mellow home with less traffic would help her feel safer. If you have any questions or if you would like to set up an appointment to meet Frida please call 707-459-4900.

BUTTERBALL

Chihuahua

Male, 3 yrs 9 mos

Pt. Richmond, CA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Please meet Butterball and read what his fosters have shared about him. 💛 Personality & Temperament Butterball is incredibly sweet and thrives on being close to his person. He’s happiest curled up in your lap or snuggled beside you at night—he’s a champion cuddler who sleeps quietly through the night. While he enjoys playtime, he’s not overly high-strung and is perfectly content relaxing and keeping you company. He has a naturally funny, quirky side and isn’t shy about showing it. His unique mannerisms and playful spirit make him an entertaining and lovable companion. 🧠 Trainability & Behavior Butterball is very smart and eager to please. He learned the “sit” command in just one day, and with consistency, he has the potential to learn so much more. He: • Comes when called • Is not destructive • Is not a runner/escape artist • Bonds deeply with his human He would benefit from: • A structured potty routine (currently uses belly bands due to marking) • Continued positive reinforcement training, especially on walks 🐕 Social Skills Butterball currently lives in a condo with four other dogs and gets along well with them. He can be reactive to other dogs on walks, but he responds well to positive reinforcement and does best when walked solo rather than in a group. When with a pack, he may try to take on a “leader” or “enforcer” role. With cats: Butterball can coexist with cats, but it depends on the cat’s personality. He enjoys play-chasing (not aggressive), so a confident or patient cat would be the best match. With kids: He has a gentle disposition and may do well in a home with respectful children. 🏡 Ideal Home Butterball would thrive in a home that can offer: • Consistent structure and routine • Continued positive reinforcement training • Plenty of affection and lap time • Patience as he works through minor habits like marking He doesn’t require a yard but would benefit from regular walks and guidance to build confidence and good leash manners. 🌟 Why Butterball? Butterball is a devoted, affectionate little companion who truly wants to be your best friend. His sweetness, intelligence, and hilarious personality make him a joy to have around. With a little structure and continued training, he’ll blossom into an absolutely exceptional companion. Please apply for Butterball if he sounds like a match for you.
