Story
Well, unfortunately, I have to get rid of blast. I’ve been having him since he was a puppy. He’s currently four years old October of this year. He’d be five years old. I’m unable to care for him. He is a great dog. He love walks very friendly. He loves to play jump. Anything that is active. He loves. I usually take them to the marina dog park, which he enjoys sometimes he escapes from the house and goes to the park on his own. What I will say is he is very manful when it comes down to his food, but overall, he is a sweet dog like I said before I had him since he was a very little puppy. I just cannot care for him anymore and I want to be able to give him what he deserve and that is a loving home, someone that can devote their time and patience and give him the walk. He deserve and at this moment, I am not able to do that so I am trying to find somewhere that he will be happy at.

Story
Hi! We adopted Hendrix in 2018 from Friends of Alameda shelter. He was found on the streets of Alameda. They think he was 2 - 2.5 years old back then so he should be around 10 - 10.5 years old now. He is a big cuddler and will be your shadow, a velcro dog if you will. He is very protective of me (mom) so random dogs are not an option when I’m around. His sitter says he is a good boy with other dogs. I have pics and videos of him with other dogs if you want to see them. This is heartbreaking to have to give him up but I am unable to care for him properly anymore. If you can take him, give him walkies, love on him, and just be a better pet parent than me I would be forever grateful. Anything I have that is his you may also have. His food and water bowel, leash, poop bags, harnes, clothes, everything.

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

Story
Siberian Husky Age: 5 years old Female, spayed 40 lbs Adoption Fee: $125 (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations) Luna was surrendered to the Hayward Shelter by her previous owners. Here is what her current foster home says about her: Ms Luna Skye is a blond and tan blue-eyed beauty. If you still believe in love at first sight, Ms Lulu (as she prefers to be called) could be that special someone you need in your life! She’d be equally excited cuddling up with you on the couch for a Netflix marathon, as she would be doing Saturday morning hike and brunch, as long as she is hanging with her favorite person. Ms Lulu may be petite for her kind, but she definitely has a big personality to make up for it. This sassy girl will not hesitate to provide direct feedback if you’re not making your daily head-scratch quota. In return for your love, she will ensure that you’re never short of hugs and cuddles, and your backyard will always be well-secured from squirrels. Like any sophisticated girl, she can be a little picky about what she eats, but she’ll put up with everyday kibble if you throw in some chicken/turkey/beef (a little extra something for your special girl). Ms Lulu is toilet-trained, but is still working on her leash skills. She also loves sunbathing, whether outdoors in the backyard, or indoors by the window. Ms Lulu could be your one and only soul mate, but she’ll also do well with equally chill pups who are happy to just co-exist. “Find a girl that looks at you like that…” they say. Ms Lulu is looking for her special someone - can you even resist those soft blue eyes? For more information about Luna, contact: nobodysperfektdogs@gmail.com

Petunia (Special Needs)

English Bulldog

Female, 4 yrs 7 mos
Castro Valley, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
English Bulldog Age: 4-5 yrs old Female, Spayed 45 lbs Adoption Fee: Donation (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations) Petunia was found as a stray and turned into the local shelter. The shelter spayed her and performed nasal surgery to assist with breathing. But then she was scheduled to be euthanized (for reasons that just aren’t clear to us). We pulled her the day before her euthanasia date. English bulldogs in general have LOTS of medical issues. She was overweight and has some spinal issues (spondylosis deformans). Due to her spinal condition, she has had some minor urinary incontinence issues. She is very much house trained (peeing and pooping outside or in designated inside locations), but when we first got her, there were a couple incidents of “bed wetting” caused when she laid in a certain position. Our vet started her on a medication called Proin and she has lost some weight. We haven’t seen any bed wetting occurrences since. While in our care, she developed a corneal abrasion in one of her eyes, caused by a lower, in-turned eyelid. Entropion eyelid surgery was done by our vet and her eye is much better. In addition to Proin, she is also on Galliprant and Cosequin supplement. Petunia LOVES attention from people, any and all people. With other dogs we would have to say that she is “dog selective.” She is surrounded by other dogs all the time and is fine with those dogs. She ignores them with the exception of a French bulldog named Francine. They hang out and occasionally play together. However, when we bring new dogs into the adoption area (which are usually small dogs) she will go after them. She is also very reactive to dogs when she goes to the vet’s office. In the right setting, with an EXPERIENCED English Bulldog owner and slow introductions, she could possibly live with another dog - maybe another bulldog who is friendly. 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 Petunia, contact: nobodysperfektdogs@gmail.com
