Story
🐾❤️ Meet Spikey! ❤️🐾 Spikey is a sweet little guy who's still figuring out that the world isn't quite as scary as it seems. 🥹 He can be nervous around new people and unfamiliar situations, so he appreciates a little patience while he gets comfortable. But once Spikey decides you're his person, you've got yourself a devoted little shadow! His foster says he loves curling up in a lap, following his favorite person from room to room, and staying close to the people he trusts. He's definitely the kind of dog who finds comfort in having his person nearby. ❤️ Spikey isn't much of a social butterfly. He tends to prefer his favorite humans over other dogs and appreciates having his own personal space. He can coexist with other dogs but may give a little nip if they get too close when he wants to be left alone. New environments can be overwhelming for Spikey, but he can also surprise you! At a recent event, he was understandably nervous with all the activity going on, but he allowed himself to be handled without any trouble. We think Spikey would do best in a quieter home with someone who understands that trust doesn't always happen overnight. He doesn't need a packed social calendar or a bunch of new adventures. He'd be perfectly happy with a cozy lap, a familiar routine, and someone to love. Spikey may take a little extra time to show you his whole personality, but there's a very loving little companion waiting underneath those nerves. ❤️

Story
🐾 Meet Bean! 🐾 Bean is a smart, playful puppy with plenty of energy, a whole lot of love to give, and a personality that really shines once he feels comfortable! This boy LOVES to play! Fetch is one of his favorite activities, and he's always up for a walk or some playtime with his foster siblings. He's definitely an active pup who would love a family ready to keep him busy, but he also knows how to settle down when it's time to relax. And when the playing is done? He's more than happy to curl up on the couch for some cuddles. ❤️ Bean has been making fantastic progress in his foster home! He's almost completely housetrained, does great in his crate, and has settled into a consistent daily routine. He already knows "no," "crate," "outside," and "walk," and he's working on sit, shake, and lay down. He's a smart boy who's eager to learn! He's also doing great with other dogs, cats, and kids! He does occasionally try to convince the cats to play with him, whether they're interested or not. 😂 But it's all in good fun, and he hasn't shown any aggression toward them. One thing to know about Bean is that he can be a little timid when meeting new people or exploring unfamiliar places. He just needs a little time to figure out that everything is okay. Once he feels safe and comfortable, that shy puppy disappears and his fun, affectionate personality comes shining through! Bean's foster has joked that she might be creating a monster because he's shaping up to be a pretty big boy who thinks he belongs in someone's lap. And honestly? We don't have the heart to tell him otherwise. 🥹 Bean is looking for a family who will give him a little patience while he settles in, plenty of opportunities to play, and a permanent spot on the couch for cuddles. Could you be Bean's forever family? 🐶💕

He would be an addition to any family.

Story
🐾 Meet Chai! 🐾 Chai is a sweet, playful puppy with a big personality, a whole lot of love to give, and a pretty impressive list of accomplishments already! 💕 This smart girl knows sit, down, and kennel, and she's almost mastered roll over, too! Sometimes she gets a little distracted halfway through, but hey, there's a lot going on in the world when you're a puppy. 😂 She's also doing great walking on a harness and leash! And guess what? Chai is officially potty trained! 🎉 She's been working hard on her house manners, and her foster family is so proud of how far she's come! Chai is also pretty good about going into her kennel, especially when it's time to eat. But don't let that fool you! She's figured out exactly when her foster mom is getting ready to leave, and suddenly she forgets how to go in on her own. Instead, she'll sit and stare until someone produces a treat. 😂 This girl knows how to work the system! Chai loves other dogs and thinks the cats in her foster home should be her friends, too. She sometimes gets excited and wants to chase them when they run, but it's playful rather than aggressive, and she listens when corrected. She's even managed to convince one of the resident cats to let her snuggle up next to him, despite his initial protests! 🥹🐱 Like any puppy, Chai is still working on her manners. She can get a little jumpy when she's excited and is learning to play gently, but she's responsive to redirection and does well when given toys to chew on. And with the colder weather rolling in, Chai has decided that cuddling is one of her favorite activities! ❤️ She's been extra snuggly lately and loves nothing more than being close to her people. Chai would love a family who will continue her training, give her plenty of opportunities to play, and appreciate all the love and silliness that comes with raising a puppy. If you're looking for a smart, affectionate, fun-loving girl who's already got a great head start on her training, Chai might be your perfect match! 🐶💕 Come meet Chai at Petco on Sundays from 2–4 PM! 🐾

Story
I’ve had Penelope Fig for about 5 years. I adopted her in June of 2021. She is a sweet girl who needs a lot of attention that I can no longer give her. I can’t even afford to take her to her vet checkups which she so much deserves. Penny needs to be resocialized with other dogs. When I first adopted Penny we were on a walk and she was attacked by a loose dog and has never been the same since. I just want her to have a home where she is doted on and loved and gets all the attention she deserves. I can’t give her what she deserves and it breaks my heart to rehome her. She is missing a bit of fur on her tail from an old injury
