Story

❤️ Meet Coco! ❤️ Coco is a 5-year-old mixed-breed girl and a true little world traveler. Born in Cyprus, we adopted her as a puppy and brought her to the U.S. two years ago. Before California, she even lived in the mountains of Austria! 🇨🇾🇦🇹🇺🇸 Coco is smart, loving, active and incredibly easy to train. She LOVES learning new tricks, playing fetch, hiking, long walks and adventures. She knows sit, stay, down, heel, paw and so much more. She’s also great in the city and can stay home alone for 4–5 hours. She loves kids, but because of resource guarding, we’re looking for an adult-only home. Most importantly, Coco MUST be the only pet. She does not do well sharing her home with other animals, although she is totally fine around dogs outside the home. Coco is loyal and naturally protective, and she’ll happily keep you safe and alert you when someone approaches. Giving her up breaks our hearts, but we know she deserves a home where she can truly thrive.

Honey

Labrador Retriever

Female, Young

San Jose, CA

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

Honey is the sweetest girl with an enormous heart and so much love to give. She is gentle, friendly, and wonderful with people of all ages, including babies, toddlers, and children. She is happiest when she is surrounded by people and receiving love, attention, and affection. Honey has had a difficult past and was previously mistreated by her owners. Despite this, she remains loving, happy, and trusting. I met her while out on a walk and took her in, but unfortunately, I don’t know much about her medical history. She has seen a vet and tested negative for parvo and parasites. She appears healthy and happy, but she still needs to be spayed and have her vaccinations updated. Honey is fully potty trained, knows sit and lay down, and has good recall. She is smart, eager to please, and would thrive with continued training. Her biggest challenge is severe separation anxiety. She is an escape artist and will do anything to reach the people she loves. Anxiety medication has helped significant

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

This is Lila. Little bit on the smaller end of her breed. She is 40lbs, so medium size. She is about 4 years old very sweet happy girl (acts like a puppy) loves to be the center of attention, neck scratches butt scratches just as much as any fur baby. She did go through board and training through Cali K-9 (San Jose) She is quite the bundle of energy so needs someone who has time for her frequent walks, and time to play, loves to run around in a yard and spaz out. Loves her walks is a bit energetic at the start but she is good. Potty trained, kennel trained loves puzzle treat toys. Unfortunately I am unable to keep her and would not want to have to take her to a shelter.. I have an autistic son I care for he is non verbal and 6 years old, and has become (I don’t know why) afraid of her and being around her. So I cannot juggle them both full time..and isn’t fair to not let her be inside or have to split the time between the to separately which my son needs the most time due to his needs.

Story

I acquired Takoba when she was just a pup and have had her ever since. She is a good dog that loves to play. She listens to simple commands like sit and paw. She is treat and ball motivated and is very energetic. She has jumping and barking issues. She has been both an indoor dog and an outdoor dog before. I have to find her a new home ASAP due to another dog having issues with her. There are two dogs at out house and they often times fight so rehoming is best for Takoba.

Meet Oscar—a profoundly affectionate soul with the sweetest, most easygoing temperament you could ever hope to find.

He can be a little shy when he first meets someone new, but with just a little patience, love, and gentle affection, his guard melts away and his devoted, loving personality shines right through. He is an absolute joy who doesn't require a high-energy routine, making him the perfect, low-maintenance companion. All Oscar truly needs now is a dedicated, loving home where he can share his endless heart and finally settle in for a lifetime of comfort and devotion.
