Labrador Retriever German Shepherd Dog

Female, Young
San Carlos, CA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We adopted her as a puppy from Friends of Madera Animal Shelter. She is three years old and has a lot of energy. She loves long walks and hikes and mellows out really well after exercise. She is very happy and loving and just wants lots of love in return. She is definitely trainable and had been at one point but we fell out of regular training and she picked up bad habits of not listening, leash and territory aggression (toward other dogs, not toward people) but has shown great promise in just a couple training sessions. We have two children (ages 6 and 9) who she loves dearly but needs guidance on how to appropriately play with young children (lots of jumping on them and can be mouthy to show joy). We are looking for a new home for her because the training, exercise, regular care and costs fall on one person in the household and this is no longer sustainable. We love her but she is not living her best life in our home and deserves more attention and training from a new home.

Story
Sadie is an incredibly sweet, affectionate 4-year-old Sheperd mix (29lbs). We adopted her as an 8-week-old puppy from Family Dog Rescue in June 2020 and like many pandemic puppies, she is a timid dog who takes time to adjust to new people and surroundings. We already had an older 12-pound poodle mix when we adopted Sadie. While they seemed to get along well while Sadie was a puppy, the last couple of years has led to increased friction. Sadie has benefitted from working with a trainer and knows multiple commands. At times, she can be a bit reactive to some dogs when walking on leash, but generally does well and follows our training techniques. She sleeps in her crate at night and is comfortable spending time in her pen. She would do great in a single pet household with no children. She goes on walks/runs, loves to chew and to play with her toys. She is a very sweet dog and we are heartbroken to rehome her. We will gladly provide her bed, crate, pen and toys.

Story
Bella was bought from a breeder in Washington state 11 years ago. She was my father’s dog and my dad died 3 weeks ago. She is full of love and energy but she needs regular exercise and new things to learn. She does not like small children and our next door neighbors have 2 small kids . Also we live in Menlo Park which is not dog friendly. There are no large dog parks here so she doesn’t get much room to play ball and my mother is walking Bella 4 miles a day . If you have land, no small children, don’t drive a motorcycle, bus or skateboard she will be very happy. She’s very loving and funny. We hate to give her away but she is too physically demanding for my mom and I .

Story
Diego is about 10 months old and still has a lot of puppy energy. He was bought off a family by our college daughter and it is too much for us to have two dogs with work. He loves to play with people or other dogs. He isn’t growing anymore so what you see size wise we think is it. He has slept in crate we will give to new owners.

Story
Meet Lia, Instagram Diva in the Making... This stunning girl, approximately 2 years old, is a spayed 60 lb pittie/pointy eared blend. Lia is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and boasts a striking creamy-brindly coat, golden eyes and a radiant smile that is contagious! While Lia excelled with dogs in playgroups at the San José shelter, she's decided that "in the real world" she likes her kind from a distance, but not so much on leash close up, or in the home. PACC has learned that her easy-going and flexible nature is more reserved for her human friends. That said, Lia walks nicely on leash and generally cannot be bothered by passing dogs, big or small. Between us, she's got kind of a *diva* streak going on and is hoping her new human(s) will spend time helping to grow her Instagram following. It's not unreasonable given she pretty much cannot take a bad pic! Lia is a lover of strangers, and despite being an excellent deterrent at the door, truth be told, she's probably not going to protect your things, cause she can be instantly bought with treats and affection. She shows her love through enthusiastic tail whaps and one of the most wiggly butts we've come across. If you welcome her into your family, get ready for some tail-induced excitement and hold on to your drinks! PACC seeks an active household that appreciates large, strong, and lively dogs, particularly those who cherish company on the couch. If you prefer a dog-free furniture policy, Lia might not be the perfect fit, as she thrives when the entire family is on the couch, with her in the middle (where else would a diva sit?!) Kids in the home should be 10+ because little humans take a lot of time, dogs take time, and most families don't have time for both. Cats are not recommended.

Story
We are thrilled to introduce Hugo - a true Ambassador of this phenomenal breed. A 100 lb, roughly 2 yr old, über friendly, neutered, "handsome boy", Hugo is healthy, up to date on vax, and microchipped. He is loving, loyal and super derpy. However, don’t confuse his derp for dumb, this guy is incredibly intelligent and a very affectionate boy who loves physical touch. He melts into your lap with head massages and ear rubs. Hugo is also a professional enchanter that can enchant any human into rubbing his belly for hours. He enjoys walks and is excellent on leash, loves chasing balls, chewing on big dawg chew toys and giving great big bear hugs. He knows sit, wait, paw, and has been working on “leave it”. Hugo is a pleaser, listens well and whoever had him before he came to us clearly loved and took excellent care of him. We are told his human(s) lived in an RV and likely could no longer care for him in the exorbitantly priced Bay Area. He is an exceptional power eater that could blow up Joey Chestnut’s Major League Eating titles on a bad day! He likes him some food! PACC is looking for a moderately active family to keep Hugo in the fine shape he is currently in - and a family who likes their dogs "BIG"! Hugo needs his walks and romps but he's no marathoner. He's not even a 10K'r - more like a 3/4 mile to miler. Hugo is wayyy too interested in cats hence there should be no felines in the home and any little humans dwelling in or visiting the home should be in their teens both because little ones take time, dogs take time and few families have time for both AND this guy is big & rough & tumbly (in a cute goofy knock you over kinda way). Hugo is being fostered here in Half Moon Bay and made himself at home right quick! If Hugo sounds like a good fit (moderately active household, other medium to large dogs ok and PACC will help make sure its a good fit; no cats; teens and above only; and the time and big hearts needed to care for this one of a kind goofball) complete the adoption application below and we will be in touch! NOTE: While PACC works hard not to discriminate on potential adopter living situations, we are also faced with the reality that breed discrimination is alive and well in the Bay Area, particularly for Rottweilers. As such, preference will be given to home owning adopters, as landlords are notorious for changing the rules, and moving around with a rottie, no matter how friendly they are, is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. Apologies in advance for this unfortunate reality. COPY AND PASTE THE LINK BELOW IN YOUR BROWSER, Adopt-a-Pet does not support live links! https://forms.gle/GwmjBVnbbtEmK7tk8
