Story
Weight ~ 52 lbs**Adoption Fee sponsored by Loren Morse, Realtor**This is Rooster. And his ears rule the roost.He`s a regal, tall, slender, and athletic 2-year-old mutt mosaic. At just over 50 pounds, behold a beautiful mix of breeds that we can only guess. In his previous home, he completed obedience training and was very quick to learn new things. He mastered basic commands such as sit, stay, lay down, off, out, heel, come, and paw. He`s also crate trained (he loves it), and potty trained. Rooster is super sweet, loving, and very loyal to his people -- and has made many friends with our staff and volunteers. He`s also made a few dog friends here at the shelter and is a regular participant in our playgroup program with dogs of his size or larger. That said, we`ve heard he can be a little TOO interested in cats and smaller animals. We also recommend a home without small kids (older teenage kiddos might be okay). Doesn`t he sound like a wonderful dog? It`s because he is! If you`d like to meet Rooster, please call the Adoptions desk or visit the shelter Tue-Sun 11-5.

Story
Hi there! My name is Ted and I'm a 1 year old, neutered Great Dane mix who weights about 80 pounds. I'm a super sweet, and outgoing boy who loves to play. I'm great with other dogs, so If you have a dog in your life and you are looking for a companion to join your pack, I might be the dog for you! I'm very silly and affectionate. I'm hoping for a family that is familiar with extra large boys like me and is prepared to make space for me on the couch for LX cuddles! If you're looking for a great big love bug, just ask Customer Service about Ted ID#A957155  Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.  You may call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment, or just drop by.

Story
Who has 4 paws and is a good boy? Guinness!! This guy is looking for his forever family to enjoy life with as much as he does. Its impossible to not smile when you see those big ears and happy face come running to you! Guinness doesn't just love people he loves making new friends with every dog he meets. (No cats for this boy, though!) He is a social butterfly. This boy is happy, loving, energetic, and always ready for a play date or an adventure. Turn in an application today and come get one of Guinness hugs. A volunteer had this to say, "Guinness is a very sweet boy who is not fully aware of his size and strength.He needs a little training to learn not to jump up and/or pull on his leash, but at heart is a goofball gentle giant."

These pups are in San Jose, California too!

Story
Let me introduce you to Cleo, our sweet, soulful Great Pyrenees mix who weighs about 70 pounds. She’s not just a pretty face (though her big brown eyes will melt you); she’s also incredibly smart. She watches everything and picks up on new things quickly—she already knows how to sit, stay, lay down, and “leave it,” and she’s learning more in doggie school every week. Cleo is potty trained and a great passenger in the car. At night, she sleeps soundly on our bed, curled up like she owns the place—and honestly, we don’t mind one bit. We haven’t tried her in a crate since the one we have is too small for her, but she’s been just fine without it. She loves chasing squirrels and once lunged at a neighbor’s cat—she thought it was just another squirrel in disguise—so a cat-free home is definitely best for her. She enjoys playing with other big dogs, but she’d also be perfectly content as the only dog in the house, soaking up all the love. At training, she’s been around small dogs and done well, but since everyone is on a leash there, we can’t say for sure how she’d be in an off-leash setting. She’s up to date on all her shots, and her spay is scheduled for the end of September. Cleo is one of the gentlest, most loving dogs we’ve ever had the joy of knowing. She’s not big on licking faces, but every now and then, she’ll surprise you with a kiss. She really is something special. Please familiarize yourself with our Adoption Process: https://angelsfurryfriends.org/adoption-process/ If interested to schedule an Appointment to meet, please fill out Adoption application: https://angelsfurryfriends.org/adoption-application-dogs/ We are a small, all Volunteer Foster Based Rescue Group, we do not have a Shelter Location. Our animals are available for meets By APPOINTMENTS ONLY at Foster Homes in Bay Area
