Story
Poppy is a gorgeous spayed female shar-pei that is looking for her forever home. Originally from a shelter, she is looking for a home with an experienced shar pei (or similar breed) owner. Poppy needs a strong owner that will take the pack leader role. Poppy has had professional training and knows sit, stay, recall, heel, place (for her dog bed) and more. Poppy would do best in a home that embraces crate training or is willing to use a crate for limited situations (initial transition to home, strangers or workmen in home, etc). Poppy also appears to be fine with cats. She is healthy, is on no medications or special foods. She walks very well on a leash, is housetrained, microchipped, and is up to date on vaccines. She loves to give kisses, seeks out attention and generally is a great dog! She would love a yard, is up for long walks or hikes! Poppy came in with another dog and does best with submissive or neutral dogs. She isnt a fan of dogs running up on her and barking at her. She loves rules and boundaries and does best with them. Oh, did we mention she is quite the looker, too??? She is fostering just outside San Francisco area.April 25, 2024, 12:03 am

Hi, I`m Mentos!I will add some freshness to your life :) though I came here a little nervous, I`ve gotten a lot more friendly since then. I have a good amount of energy but not too much. I do need my exercise though - I hope you`re up for it! Staff says I`m good at checking in with you on my walks. I can be a little hard to leash up at first just due to excitement but I`m working on it I promise. I`m very particular with my treats and have been noted to turn my nose up at everything but cheese specifically. I`d rather have your attention to be honest. Come meet me today!

Story
Hi there! Nice to meet you, I`m Bentley and I am the perfect young gentleman. I came to the shelter as a stray just before Thanksgiving and spent the last 2.5 months with what I hoped was my forever family. Sadly, they had to move and could not take me with them. So here I am, back at Front Street in search of a family who will love me as much I promise to love them. At just over a year old, I am told I am pretty darn mellow. I love nothing more than to snuggle up and laze around. My previous family reports I am potty-trained, although keep in mind in a new environment, I may have an accident or two. I am almost crate trained, although I prefer to be with my humans as much as possible. I am reported to do well around other dogs, but I would do better in a home with no cats. I have also enjoyed the company of children, but please remember a slow and proper introduction to anyone and anything new is important.Please remember that the shelter is a stressful environment; many dogs come to Front Street as strays without any known history. While staff and volunteers do their best to learn about each dog, behavior in the shelter is not always the same as behavior in a home. Keeping the 3/3/3 Decompression Rule in mind is important. Three days for initial decompression, three weeks to learn the routines of your household, and three months to start to feel relaxed and safe in the home. When you adopt, foster, or are a new pet parent, it`s especially important to consider*** Bentley`s adoption fee has been paid for with a donation from a community member ***

Hey there! My name is Martini, I`m a gentle girl with lots of love to give. I enjoy getting scratches behind my ears and eating milk bone treats. If you`re too busy to give pets I don`t mind just resting next to you and being in your presence. I hope to be your next bestfriend!
