Story
Someone I knew wanted to surrender him to a shelter, I grew to love him and decided to foster him, but I have 3 other dogs and a cat and now a kid on the way, I don't have enough space for him and haven’t been lucky enough to find a good owner for him. He is the BIGGEST lover boy and would never hurt a fly. He is a gentle giant, but since hes still young he gets a little excited. He has been around kids and cats and other dogs his whole life and loves everyone. Like I said he gets a little excited and might scare away a cat, but would never bite or attack anyone or anything. If I could keep him I really would but all my other animals have anxiety and have had them forever, he would be the best to adjust to a new home as he is very easily adjusted. He loves EVERYONE.

Charlie

Maltipoo

Male, Puppy
San Mateo, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with dogs, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Charlie is an adorable, sweet 11 week maltipoo puppy. He loves cuddling, playing with his toys, and romping around the backyard. Charlie is up to date on his vaccinations and we expect him to grow to about 10 lbs. He’s crate trained and doing wonderfully his potty training. There’s another dog in our household and they’ve had difficulties bonding. I recommend another puppy or a high energy partner if you plan on pairing with another dog. The price is negotiable as our top priority is a loving forever home for this little angel.

Poodle (Miniature)

Female, Adult
San Mateo, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Toffee Rose is a very sweet dog with adults (she has not been exposed to children). She is crate trained, potty trained, leash trained, and she is quiet (rarely barks). She is OK around other pets but has moderate resource guarding behavior/possession aggression so she would do best being in an independent home without other dogs as well as cats. She really enjoys her walks but also loves being a couch potato.
