Story
*Please note: We are seeking a temporary home only for both Charlie and Pearl* My family adopted Charlie during the pandemic, in 2022. Recently we have been having some challenges and unable to keep her with us. We expect to be back on our feet in another year at which time we would be looking to bring her back home. Charlie is sweet, empathetic and very chill and bonded to Pearl. He is friendly with everyone and is a wonderful companion who loves daily walks and lounging. He enjoys snuggling and is good with gentle kids. When we are able to we will bring him back home but will pay for all of his care while he is in his temporary home. Please reach out if you could be helpful in homing Pearl and Charlie for at least six months and up to one year (until June 2027). Thank you so much for looking!

Story
Hello! My name is Fresca, I am a 1 year old, spayed female, havanese mix that currently weighs 13 lbs. I am a sweet and friendly little lady that is looking for her forever home where I would love nothing more than to be by your side or on you lap. I would prefer to go home to a household with no resident dogs so I can be pampered like the princess that I am. Speaking of pampered, I would also need regular grooming to keep me looking my best. So, if you're looking for a cute sidekick like me, look no further and ask for more information about me. Please have everyone in the household come to meet me before taking me home with you! I can't wait to meet you!   Fresca ID#A0984639Unless 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. Drop-In hours for Same Day Adoptions are 11 am – 5 pm, 7 days a week (closed major holidays). We do our best to update our listings regularly, but we can’t guarantee every animal you see is still available. It’s also typical for us to have animals who haven’t had their photos taken yet, so you are welcome to visit our adoption center and have a look around! To check on an animal's adoption status, please call 650-340-7022 during normal business hours to speak with an adoption counselor. Emails will be returned as soon as possible, but please allow up to 48 hours during busy adoption periods like weekends.May 23, 2026, 2:25 pm

Story
Meet Axl Rose Diva 🐾 — a 15 lb senior gentleman 👑 with strong opinions, excellent dog park leadership skills 🐶, and absolutely no interest in unnecessary drama 😌🚫 Axl originally came to us in 2023 and was adopted by a wonderful woman who absolutely adored him ❤️ Sadly, she recently passed away 💔, and her sister reached back out to us so we could make sure Axl was safe. Of course we welcomed him back immediately 🤗 Now this sweet little old man 🥹 is looking for a second chance at love 🏡❤️ Axl is an approximately 11 year old neutered Havanese mix 🐕 who is fully vaccinated 💉, microchipped, parasite-free ✅, and recently had a dental 🦷✨ His foster family describes him as easygoing, funny 😄, and very easy to live with 🛋️ He gets along well with other dogs 🐾 and apparently believes he is in charge of the neighborhood dog park 👑 Honestly, the other dogs seem to agree 😂 He loves car rides 🚗, enjoys adventures 🌲, and settles in nicely once he feels secure 💤 He can be a little standoffish with new people and unfamiliar situations at first 🤨, but he warms up with patience and understanding ❤️ He would do best with someone who respects that he likes to take things at his own pace 🐢 Axl can be possessive around food 🍖, so we recommend feeding separately from other pets. Other than that, he’s a pretty chill little guy 😎 who mostly wants a comfortable place to land 🏠 and people he can trust again ❤️ 💛 Axl qualifies for our Seniors for Seniors program, where approved adopters age 55+ can adopt senior pets for just a $5 donation 💵🐾 Adoptions are always free for veterans of the US Armed Services 🇺🇸 👧 We estimate Axl would do best with children over age 5.

Story
We rescued Gigi from a distant shelter. The shelter person told us that she was maybe about 4-5 yrs old and very friendly. Great with dog buddy in her kennel. One shelter staff person said she didn't notice all the medical needs that Gigi has. Gigi was neglected matted and very dirty with bad smell. Dog friendly. When she went to our vet he told us she is older and that she needed dental and had some gum inflammation has lump on belly (need to remove & biopsy) not spayed and has double cataracts (vet did eye dye tests). Blood and urine tests shows no diabetes which can cause cataracts. No issues seen in test results. She was so smelly that the vet office shaved her body and bathed her. We already spent over $1000 for her vet care and many tests. Problem… it will cost over $3000 plus for her dental X-ray spay removal of lump biopsy and $10K for cataract surgery if we opt for this surgery. Vet gave her eye drops. She has poor vision but sees light and large objects. She is getting around fine at her foster home and on walks. She can manage going up and down stairs. We plan to try another drop that dissolves cataract for $150. Seen good results with other dog owners. Then will see a vision vet. Gigi is great with foster home's dog. Very easy going and sweet. She loves her food and does rollies. Can go up and down stairs to 2nd floor and jump up on sofa and bed. Does fine on walks. Did great going to foster home's work studio with her and did great with everyone. Greeted people. Walked around and very well behaved. Gigi is such a good girl. We have spent over $1000 so far on first exam eye blood & urine tests shave down/bath medications and all her vet care. Her vet costs will be in the high thousands for dental spay lump removal and eye care. If we have to do cataract eye surgery it will cost us $8000 - $10000. We hope the healthy foods eye vitamins and drops work to avoid the surgery. Donations are greatly needed and appreciated. Thank you. 🥰 https://www.furryfriendsrescue.org/donations 3/14/26 Foster Home Update: Gigi is a really remarkable little girl. I’m surprised by her everyday! She’s able to get around quite easily on her own despite the occasional light booping against my leg or a wall. She listens for my footsteps and able to follow me around. She’s quiet and easy going. Friendly with other dogs and everyone we meet on the street. I’m amazed by how easily she’s adapted to San Francisco streets. Her poor eyesight doesn’t seem to be slowing her down. She’s trusting cuddly and just likes to be nearby. She’s also an easy eater and house trained. All my friends and neighbors who’ve met her think she’s the sweetest.YouTube: https://youtu.be/mQwFiUOiwdAMay 21, 2026, 12:54 am

Story
With a heavy heart I'm having to look for a special home for my special needs princess.Joy is a pure bred Havanese, who is 5 years old, 10 pound, spayed female that is on daily seizure medicine. Her last seizure was on 8-25-2025. She is very quiet and always wants to be on your lap (a velcro dog through and through). Joy has special mannerisms like spinning in a circle before doing anything. She will spin in a circle then walk, spin in a circle to get a drink, eat food, spin a circle before she obeys a command like sit, stay, down, etc. Joy is very docile. She gets along with other pets, kids, strangers, etc she prefers to be right on your lap and not playing.Joy is potty trained, crate trained, and loves to travel in her little pink carrier when going on an airplane or sporting events (she curls right up in her carrier and snores the whole time).
