Adopted from local shelter 4 years ago and Apollo has been a good friend of my kids as well as myself. 30 Lbs medium size male dog. Shelter staffs says 'Terrier Mix' who has good health condition.

We are looking for new home where Apollo has good life and make new friends and family.

Tigger can jump really high! He is high energy when people are around; pretty sure he is an extrovert. He is pretty chill when it’s just you and him. Perfect lap dog and absolutely loves to be petted. He is the sweetest little guy. Sad for him to go, but he needs a home where he will be loved.

Dillon

Border Collie Labrador Retriever

Male, Senior

Santa Clara, CA

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Dillon was 1.5yrs young when we adopted him from Milpitas Humane Society in 2019. He had an ear infection being treated at the time. Recently it came back. Besides that he is happy and healthy. We live with 3 children (2 teens and a toddler) and Dillon is very gently with them and is always excited to see them coming home from school. Unfortunately we are relocating and downsizing and overall don’t have time and can not afford taking him to the vet for his ear infection due to one of our children going under heart surgery which is putting us in a difficult time financially. New home we are planning to move in does not allow “large” dogs. I am very heartbroken writing this post but I am hoping to find my Dillon a good home that has the time for him.

Kenji

Papillon Maltese

Female, Adult

Santa Clara, CA

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hello. My stepdad passed away recently, and I've been taking care of Kenji since then. I was able to balance my college coursework while training/taking care of her. Now that I have to work full-time, I won't be able to provide the attention and effort she needs. Kenji is around 5 years old; her birthday is in December 2021. I was able to get her potty- and crate-trained, also taught her a few commands (sit, paw, release word: 'go', and bed). Her current schedule is eating twice a day, and I walk her 3x daily. She loves eating, lounging, affection/cuddles, and playing (fetch or tug of war). Her reactivity towards cats and barking can be alleviated with patience, effort, and lots of treats! She's an amazing indoor and outdoor pet due to her excitability and laziness. Kenji may take a while to acclimate to a new environment because I noticed how easily anxious she gets with unfamiliar people, but after a couple of minutes, she tends to go up to them and ask for cuddles.

Minh Minh

American Pit Bull Terrier Labrador Retriever

Male, Adult

Santa Clara, CA

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Minh Minh is a very sweet and easy going boy with a heart that proportionally suits his big ol body. He loves to take it easy and his favorite thing in the world is companionship. He is very good with other dogs, big and small, and does well with meeting new people. He is a friendly pup who would do best with someone who works from home and can take him on walks. His only issue is his whining from separation anxiety, otherwise he is a low maintenance boy. We are currently working on his diet and would like to help him lose some weight with more walks and a healthier diet. He loves to play with toys and would probably do best in a home with another dog for him to befriend. Due to landlord issues, my dad who was his primary owner, is struggling to find a home for himself alongside keeping Minh. We would love to do a meet up for anyone interested in Minh and would be open to any fosters as well. Please help us give this boy a chance. Willing to negotiate price if interested.
