Story
Finn may not win any beauty contests, but would take home Mr. Congeniality in a heartbeat! Finns interests in life are food, and getting scratched and petted by anyone and everyone. He barks rarely, gets along with every dog and person he's ever met, and is generally cool to just lay around the house most of the day. He's whip-smart with no prey drive whatsoever, so easy to take on leisurely walks on or off leash. Knows basic commands and will knock to go outside to potty. He does have a hereditary skin issue that causes him to lose some small patches of fur, but this is well-managed with Prednisone currently. His bad habit, sadly, is that he is so food-motivated that this encompasses his own poop. This has resulted in him having regurgitation issues when he snacks on his or any other dogs poop. We don't want to punish him by crating him when we can't supervise his yard time closely, but we also don't want to punish our other dog by not allowing her outside freely.

Story
(I'm being fostered in the East Bay)Hi! My name is King. I'm a very handsome boy looking for a new home! I came to Marine Humane because my first family could no longer keep me due to a housing situation.I am 7 years old, and a good deal trained. I know how to sit, stay, lie down, and shake. Even though I love to eat, I do not hoard food. I will sit patiently while you prepare my food and my foster brother and I eat close to each other. I am crate trained and will let you know with gentle whines when I need to go potty.I have only had one family since I was a pup. My first family were of the older human age and could only take me on walks, but no parks. I did meet other dogs during walks, but it was only nose-to-nose, no play time. Because I have had little interaction with other dogs I am still learning how to socialize.My foster brother is showing me how to respect dog boundaries. I still do not totally understand boundaries and that can be rough on other animals that like their space or are smaller than me. My foster father has to gently introduce me to new foods but once I know it is food I will eat anything. I recently discovered peanut butter and I am still learning how to get treats from a kong toy. Right now, everything seems new to me, and I get very excited. But once I get familiar, I like to just lie down and relax.Because a lot of things are still new, I don't always know how to react. I get very excited and this can be difficult for some. I know I look big and can be too rough sometimes, but I just want to show love. I know with patience and care I will be the best dog for you.

Story
Meet Nala, a sweet and loyal adult dog who is currently residing in a shelter. Her affectionate nature and steadfast loyalty make her an ideal companion for anyone seeking a loving pet. She loves people and adored a dog-savvy 8-year-old boy, so we think she would love to be in a home with dog-savvy kids. Nala does not want to be left alone in a yard and will make her displeasure known by barking. Her new family should not leave her in the yard, they should teach her to be OK inside the house when they leave. Despite her current circumstances, Nala's spirit remains unbroken, and she eagerly awaits the day she can share her love with a forever family. Adopting Nala means gaining a faithful friend who will provide unconditional love and companionship. ***ADOPTION FEE SPONSORED*** Primary Color: Red Secondary Color: White Weight: 53 Age: 3yrs 2mths 3wks
