Story
By Appointment Only Hello, my name is Oso and I'm a 1-year-old, neutered, German Shepherd mix that currently weighs about 64lbs. I'm a sweet and affectionate young dog that's looking for a family that understand the needs of shepherds like me. I'm still working on my social skills with dogs, but my friends here at PHS say I'm making really good progress! I'm hoping my new family is prepared to help me continue working on that. I'd prefer to be the only dog in the household, but if I find the perfect match, it could be ok. If you have a dog, please bring him or her in so we can get acquainted before I join the family. As my name implies, I'm a total teddy bear! For more information about me, just ask Customer Service about Oso ID# A977122 Since I’m not at the adoption center, you can make arrangements to meet me by emailing adoptinquire@phs-spca.org You may also submit your fully completed Adoption Profile Form to adoptinquire@phs-spca.org and a staff member will call you to conduct a phone interview before making an appointment to meet me in person.

Hello everyone! We have neutered, 5-month-old, German Shepherd mix puppies! They will likely grow to be between 75-85lbs as adults.  They are high energy, vocal pups who can't wait to make new friends and learn about the world. They would thrive most with a family with dog savvy kids that is familiar with working breeds and is prepared to continue working on training and socialization. They are active young puppies and will need lots and lots of exercise, mental stimulation, and of course, love! If you are looking to add some fluff into your life, just ask Customer Service about these puppies!

Story
This is Bella, 3.5yo., ~60lbs. rescued her. My sister-in-law works at a groomer and some old man came in with her and said if someone doesnt take her Im going to leave her in the street. So she took her to my husband’s backyard. She was 11 months at the time, we don’t know anything about her or how she grew up. We knew if we took her to the shelter no one would want her and didn’t want her to be killed so we took her in. But we were moving to the Bay because I am a medical student and we live in an apartment. It’s been really hard for us because I’m so busy. She is very reactive towards other dogs, but from experiments Ive done I dont think she wants to hurt them. She just doesnt know how to act and is very protective over her owners. She has a lot of energy. She needs someone who can afford proper training and who has the time and space to let her run around. She is very, very sweet and cuddly. An absolute angel inside. I just want her to be happy and enjoy the world.
