Story

Fin (Finnegan or Fingolfin) could be your next best adventure buddy. Fin is approximately 3 years old. He is a White German Shepherd husky mix. He is a very loyal boy who would benefit from an active person or couple who are confident with dogs. Fin would be the perfect companion to someone who enjoys the outdoors. He is a great running buddy (he is so fast!) and he would likely make a great cycling buddy with some training. Fin is adventurous and curious, but also sweet and empathetic. He is great with kids based on his foster history. Fin would likely thrive in a home where he gets attention, but he is okay to be left alone during the day if he is exercised properly. Fin is highly intelligent – so far, he is really enjoying games like hide and seek (he caught on instantly), and puzzles! He is highly trainable and wants to please his human companions. We want him to go to a home where he is given the proper exercise, stimulation, training, and love. He has so much potential – now he just needs the right family! Fin wants to be the best boy and is looking for his forever home with someone who will take him on all the best adventures! Is that person you? Fin was scheduled to be euthanized in California due to shelter capacity and an easily treatable illness. He is all clear medically and is in great health. Fin has a joie de vie that is infectious. He just wants to be a good boy and have fun every day. We love him so much and we know you will too!

Story

Alice is a stunning 5-year-old white German shepherd with a loyal heart and a deeply gentle soul. After being heartbreakingly dumped by the family she trusted, Alice stayed close to the one constant she had left—her bonded brother, Bowser, an 8-year-old blind husky. Through uncertainty and change, Alice has been his steady guide and quiet protector. Alice is intelligent, attentive, and incredibly devoted to her people. She forms strong bonds and takes comfort in being near those she loves. Calm and observant, she has a natural instinct to watch over Bowser, helping him navigate unfamiliar spaces and feel safe. Their connection is beautiful to witness and rooted in trust and companionship. Despite everything she’s been through, Alice remains affectionate and eager to please. She enjoys gentle walks, relaxed time outdoors, and peaceful moments at home. She would thrive in a stable, loving environment where she can settle in, decompress, and continue being the confident, caring dog she truly is. Because of their strong bond, Alice and Bowser are looking for a home together. They lean on each other emotionally, and keeping them together gives them both the best chance to feel secure and happy again. If you’re looking for a devoted companion with a heart full of love—and room in your home for two inseparable souls—Alice is ready to meet you and start this next chapter by your side.

Story

Ringo is a 4-year-old German Shepherd mix who was adopted as a puppy from the SF SPCA. He is a loyal, loving, and happy dog who thrives with structure, activity, and plenty of affection. He enjoys two walks a day and a weekly play-group outing, and he settles in well at home during the work day (8–9+ hours). He has been wonderful with the child in his home, though he can be protective when new visitors enter our home. He may jump when unfamiliar people come inside or move in for a hug, but he’s friendly once someone greets him and says hello. On walks, Ringo may bark or lunge at unfamiliar dogs—especially larger dogs—or at runners who pass too closely, though he does very well with dogs and people he knows. Ringo is smart, trainable, and happiest in a calm home with adults or older kids, ideally with adopters who understand or have experience with active working dogs. His family is relocating in 2026 and hopes to find him a loving, stable home where he can continue to thrive.
