Story
If you are interested in Bria, please contact masonhong21@gmail.com Bria is proof that age is just a number. This loving 12 year old girl is the perfect companion, at home or wherever your days take you! Bria is the definition of a loyal friend. There is nothing in the world she loves more than to spend her days by your side. She will be there for you to celebrate your happy moments or shower you with affection on the not so good ones. Bria is super friendly, loves people, and is quick to make friends. Bria is a wonderful working from home buddy. Gentle and calm, she has impeccable house manners and is great in the car. She is always ready to jump in on an adventure with you - she's got plenty of energy for a good walk - or is happy just cuddling on the sofa. Her foster says she's so well behaved that he just takes her everywhere with him. Bria mostly enjoys lounging around the house doing nothing - relatable! She has done great in apartments but she wouldn't mind having her own yard. She would do best in a quiet home with older kids or adults. Bria is a people's dog and would be happier as your one and only pet. All she really wants is a family to love and call her own. This sweet and gentle soul has so much love and devotion to give, and would make her future family very happy!

To learn more about Lila, please get in touch with henryfungchang@gmail.com. Meet your next best friend, Lila! Lila is a loving, cuddly dog that loves any and all human interaction! She loves to play, and will engage in any games you want to play! While she can be energetic, her favorite activity is just to chill and relax. She especially enjoys blankets, sofas, and beds! Her favorite spot is in the corner of the bed, leaving you plenty of room, how perfect! Lila has done very well in her foster home, being very polite, doing all her business outside, and just being a joy to have around! She is house-trained, crate-trained, and knows lots of tricks! Her manners are on point, and she has responded well to her name. In addition to her name, she also seems to know "sit", "down", "shake", and "stay". She has done very well in vehicles in the past, and seems to enjoy the ride! She has slowly warmed up to living with a cat in a foster home, so slow introductions will be necessary for her. She has done well in the past with some dogs but can be leash-reactive, so a household with dog experience, patience, and the ability to handle Lila's size and energy would be best for her.

If you have questions about Loki, please contact allison.gilmore@gmail.com Meet Loki, the perfect combination of joyful exuberance and laid-back chill. This polite little man is always on board for a walk in the neighborhood or a game of catch. But he's also a fantastic work-from-home companion who will happily curl up at your feet or on a couch while you're working or studying. Sweet and loving, Loki wants to be close to his people and will politely rest his head on your leg or lean in for a good scratch. While curious, he has excellent house manners and loves to chew his toys. Loki enjoys looking out the window and quietly watching the world go by. He also sleeps like a champion, loves bedtime, and will happily sleep in until you're ready to start the day. Eager to please and treat motivated, Loki is a quick learner ready to learn new commands. He would thrive in a home with an active family who will take him on regular walks or hikes to explore. He walks very well on a leash but needs help redirecting when other dogs or bicycles pass by. If you are looking for a loyal, loving companion, Loki is ready to be your new best friend!

To learn more about Nugget, please get in touch with his foster at xgenic@gmail.com Hello, I'm Nugget! I love to play! I'll fetch and chase with all my toys, but I'm very responsible in the house and won't touch anything I shouldn't. I sometimes growl like a dragon when I get really playful, but just me talking, and I'm very gentle. I know all my basic commands, walk nicely on the leash, and eat all my approved doggie vegetables. I've had many doggie roommates and do well with non-dominant dogs once I get over my initial excitement of meeting them. I'm still a bit nervous around human strangers and do best with new people who approach me with care, but warm up once I get to know you - especially if you carry a piece of cheese in your hand! I hope to meet my forever playmates soon, who can help me feel secure and calm and be my best self!
