Story

I am a 76 year old woman with a 2 year old toy poodle. She has some impulse control and other behavior issues and needs a lot of work. May 30th, my dear friend and roommate died unexpectedly. I rescued her 3 year old chihuahua.Since Mars was only trained on pee pads, was unmanageable on walks, and exhibited growly and snappy behavior as is common to Chihuahuas, I was afraid that she was unadoptable. I did not want her to be killed. Since May, we have made great strides with 2 sessions with a professional trainer and lots of time on my part. This dog is now completely trained to go potty outside. I have also found easy and gentle ways to circumvent her refusals to put on a harness, which had been my major difficulty. And during walks, her behavior of barking at other dogs has improved by at least 75%. I find it too hard to carry on with the stress and care of two manageable but time and energy intensive dogs. Plus, I have had 2 dog-related loss of balance and falls with 1 injury.

Story

Marzi is a petite 9-lb Chihuahua mix looking for a patient, understanding home. She has been through a lot of change and is still learning to trust.. She can be affectionate, smart, and full of love on her own terms. She enjoys daily walks and beach outings, where she loves to explore and can be found playing with her foster sister, Zara a toy poodle. Marzi is food-motivated and knows several commands like sit, down, stay, and wait. She has been working hard on her house-training and has made progress adapting to new routines. She thrives on positive reinforcement and consistency. Marzi can be shy/reactive around strangers, other dogs, loud noises, or when she feels her space is invaded. Because of this, she needs an adult-only home with adopters who are experienced with anxious dogs. She takes daily medication (Prozac and Trazodone) that helps her stay calm. She would do best in a quieter environment. Ideally, she will do best in an environment where she is the only dog.

Story

Max is a 5 year old shephard/husky mix looking for his forever home. We've had Max as a foster. We took him in as his prior owner passed unexpectedly & the family couldn't keep him. He's 60-65 pounds, neutered, current on vaccines, housebroken & enjoys hanging with the family & playing tug of war with his toys. No health issues. He hasn't had a lot of exposure to young children but no issue with visiting nieces/nephews. He gets along fine with our chihuahua but is quite reactive dogs outside the home. Initially he had a lot of separation anxiety but is much, much better now. He is quiet & happy to relax at your feet/nearby. He is a big fluffy teddy bear who just wants someone to love on him. We'd love to keep him but it's no longer permitted where we currently live. We are desperately trying to keep him out of the shelters or being euthanized. We are hoping to find Max a forever home with a person/family that is looking for a furry friend. He will repay love given to him ten fold.

Kona

American Pit Bull Terrier American Bulldog

Female, Adult

Belmont, CA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

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

Story

Kona is an 8 year old female American Pitbull Terrier mix. She was adopted from the SPCA back in 2020 and has been residing in the Bay Area ever since. Kona is kind, loving, and silly. She has her … moments… but she is also very smart. She’s very food motivated (knows “sit”, “stay”, “lay down”, “high five”) and loves (LOVES) attention. She has some separation anxiety, so it is important she goes to a family that can tend to her at least 70% of the day. Kona has a calm demeanor (she doesn’t even bark! She just whines if anything) and a love for adventure. She’s the perfect companion for those trips to the beach or walks around the city. And of course she’s a perfect nap-time buddy. Kona doesn’t have too many interactions with other dogs, but it’s been observed she isn’t a fan of cats. And she may try to chase after squirrels, raccoons, and other critters. So when you walk her, make sure to hold the leash tight— she’s very strong!
