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

Sandy is the sweetest boy. He was adopted in 2013 and was a faithful companion to an elderly couple for 12 years. His dad passed in June 2025 at 88 years old and his mom has Parkinson’s and dementia and can no longer walk. Over the years they took numerous hikes and snuggled for countless hours. He is definitely a lover and will gently nudge you with his paw for more pets. He loves treats, rarely barks and likes to get outside for short walks where he sniffs everything he can. He needs a loving home for his remaining years since his mom can’t take care of him anymore. He is currently being fostered by their daughter until she can find him a permanent home.

Story

Cuteness Alert!!! Are you looking for an energetic, eager to please, handsome staffie-boy-blend who's signature look is the perfect eyeliner morning, noon and night?! He claims its "natural". First hist stats: -2.5 yrs old -Neutered male -Large, ~75 lbs -Energy level - active, mashed-potato after exercise -Healthy, up-to-date on vax, microchipped And a few inside-scoops: -When excited Taz emits tiny, kitten-like squeals - if you're wondering where that noise could possibly be coming from, its coming from all 75 lbs of him, so stop looking for the kitten -He can rock winter sweaters like no other, handsome-est in red -On solitary hikes he will stay close by your side and has excellent recall -Goofy like no other, he will turn up the laugh-factor in the home so get ready to show the doldrums to the door! Taz is good with most dogs (if you have any we'll make sure); and “wuvs his hoomans”. Children in the home should be 10+ since little humans take time, dogs take time and few families have time for both. Big-dog-savy kids could be an exception as we believe Taz was raised with kids. We have no information about our feline friends thus to be respectful of everyone's time, do not suggest them. If you've been thinking about something outside of yourself to pour love and care into, Taz is standing by to return it 10-fold. That's just how he rolls.

Orso

Rottweiler American Staffordshire Terrier

Male, 6 yrs 4 mos

Half Moon Bay, CA

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

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

Story

Meet Orso – Mr. Easy Peasy, He is a big-hearted, low-maintenance cuddle buddy looking for a low-key, chill home. 📍 Stats at a Glance: ✔️ Age: ~6 years old ✔️ Breed Mix: Rottie/Staffie/Pittie/Boxer blend ✔️ Size: 105 lbs ✔️ Energy Level: Low – a couple of zoomies or a short stroll, and he’s done for the day ✔️ House Training: A+ – totally reliable ✔️ Personality: Friendly and affectionate ✔️ Health: Neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped Orso’s journey hasn’t been easy—he found himself surrendered to the shelter on Christmas Day. While we don’t know his full past, he appears to have been loved (a little too much in the food department) - he came in obese and limping but PACC has taken care of both of those issues. He’s a gentle, loving soul who craves companionship, leans in for affection, and thrives on belly rubs. 💛 The Ideal Home for Oscar: 🏡 A calm, relaxed household looking for a teddy-bear to brighten the mood and lift your spirits 🐕 Orso is unpredicatable with dogs hence he needs to be the one and only center of attention 🐱 No cats—we’re unsure of his history with our feline friends and want to be respectful of everyone's time 🚸 Kids 10+ — because kids take time, dogs take time and families with little ones rarely have time for both Orso is one of the easiest dogs we've come across, in the right setting. His needs are clear and simple - a house with a fenced in back yard, and the occasional short sniff walk. He loves company but has zero separation anxiety and no destruction. Impeccable house manners. A retired couple who like to hang out at home and would love some company would be ideal. He's a simple guy, with simple needs!
