Story

Lulu is looking for a home with a big yard to run and play in all day. She knows her basic commands and enjoys playing hide and seek (ask her to “find” and watch her go!). She has gotten along with the cats she has been around but would probably prefer to be the only pet. She’s a good girl looking for a good home.

Cheyanne (Special Needs)

German Shepherd Dog

Female, 2 yrs 2 mos

Castro Valley, CA

Size

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

Details

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

Story

German Shepherd Age: < 1 yr old Female, Spayed 40 lbs Adoption Fee: Donation (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations) Cheyanne was brought to the shelter as a very young, small, emaciated puppy with two broken legs (assumably from being hit by a car). Since as a German Shepherd, she had a lot of growing to do, the only viable option was to splint the legs and hope for the best. Fast forward 5 months and her front leg healed pretty well (which is good - front legs are more critical than hind legs for mobility. Unfortunately, we weren’t as lucky with her back leg. The severity of the fractures, impeded the needed bone growth, and the leg ended up shortened. There are ongoing discussions with the vet about whether to amputate that leg. Nobody’s Perfekt Dogs will cover the cost of the amputation, if that happens. Otherwise Cheyanne is a sweet dog that needs a lot of socialization with people. Shepherds are naturally wary of strangers, so continuing her peoples skills is important. She loves all the dogs in her foster home. We don’t put shepherds in homes with cats. A home with another well socialized dog around her size would be ideal. Please note for large breed dogs, we require that potential adopters own their home, with a securely fenced-in backyard. Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13. For more information about Cheyanne, contact: nobodysperfektdogs@gmail.com

Story

NAME: CRISS GENDER: MALE BREED: FORMOSAN MOUNTAIN DOG MIX COLOR: CHOCOLATE AGE: 9 MONTHS OLD WEIGHT: 32lbs SPAY OR NEUTER: Yes MICROCHIP: Yes If you would like to give CRISS by a forever home, please go to www.adoptadoggie.org to fill out an online application with home photos. Criss is a sweet and playful boy! He is friendly with people and is good with other dogs. He is doing well in his foster home and ready for a forever home. Criss started some leash training and is learning at a good pace. He is crate-trained and doing well on his housetraining. He rides well in the car and can wait patiently while his foster mom runs errands. Criss is a wonderful boy and will make a good family dog. Criss’s Rescue Story Criss’s mom, Christmas, was owned by irresponsible and mean owners. His mom was not spayed and had a litter of six puppies. Poor Christmas didn’t even get food regularly. The founder of an international rescue organization got a rescue message to save Christmas and her puppies. When the founder arrived at the site, she saw how poorly they were treated. There was no food and water. Christmas was all skin and bone. She quickly persuaded her owners to surrender Christmas and all her puppies to her. The owner insisted that they would like to keep one of the puppies to guard their property. The rescue insisted that they should not ever have dogs since they don’t care for them. Christmas and her puppies were rushed to the vet for a thorough medical checkup. Criss has been neutered, vaccinated, microchip, and passed negative on his blood tests. Please give Criss a loving home he very much deserves.

Mara

Chihuahua

Female, 4 yrs 3 mos

Castro Valley, CA

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Chihuahua Age: ≈ 4 years old Female, spayed 12 lbs Adoption Fee: $125 (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations) Mara was brought into a local by someone who found her. During her evaluation by shelter staff to access her suitability for adoption to the general public, they observed some high-value resource guarding with other dogs and people. She was also difficult to handle during her vet check. This is very typical of dogs that are fearful/stressed in a scary shelter environment. Because of these observations she was deemed “unadoptable” and could only be given to a rescue group experienced with behavioral issues. When we got her to our adoption center, she bonded very quickly with the volunteers, allowing them to handle her, give her affection and attention. In her foster home with a couple of other dogs, she does some lap guarding. The dogs in the home are all fed separately and the humans don’t typically bother the dogs while they are eating. There are quick, easy and effective methods to stop lap guarding (as well as high value guarding). Mara responds well to correction. She will need an experienced adopter that can effectively manage these issues. With a little time and patience, Mara could live with other dogs her size that don’t respond negatively to her guarding behavior. Otherwise, she likes people, likes attention, good on a leash, appears to be housebroken (but not too sure about using the doggie door in her foster home, yet). Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13. For more information about Mara, contact nobodysperfektdogs@gmail.com
