Story

Cal is the sweetest boy you could ever find. He's smart and motivated, loves working on his training, and he seems like he could be an expert in sporting competitions or nosework with the right training. His favorite game is fetch, and he loves all toys (especially the squeaky ones). Hell find his favorite, and ask you to play! He can be reactive to some dogs at first (though he's made a lot of progress with his leash manners!), but when he makes a friend, they're friends for life. He also gets a little nervous around unfamiliar people or situations. We've been working a lot on building his confidence and learning that the world isn't a scary place, but he likely needs an experienced adopter who can keep coaching him to be as polite in public as he is at home. Right now, he isn't quite ready for daycare, boarding, or a dog walker, so we need to find him a home where those aren't as vital in the near term. Hopefully your home can be the place where he can live his best life!

Story

Dolly, spayed female, 3y-5-m-old, 44-lbs If you would like to give DOLLY a forever home, please contact abetterchancerescue@gmail.com OR log onto abetterchancerescue.org to fill out online application Dolly has an easy-going temperament, very playful and lively. She loves people and is sociable around other dogs and stays calm when meeting cats. She is potty trained and crate trained to sleep overnight; not a chewer or barker. Dolly is most suitable for an outdoor loving family, and/or as an addition to family with dog. Dolly’s rescue story: Driving home during a stormy night, the rescuer spotted a dark moving object in-between the traffic lanes. When she stopped her car to check it out, she found Dolly moving toward her slowly, wagging her tail. She didn’t seem injured but apparently had difficulty moving. Dolly followed the rescuer to her car and off to the hospital they went. The doctor’s diagnostic was that Dolly simply suffered from starvation. Under the care of her foster family, Dolly regained her hearth and received proper training. But being a dog with black color coat has hardly any chance to be adopted by local people. Hopefully Dolly can start her new life aboard.

She is well behaved: no excess barking, stays calm and sleeps overnight in her crate; she is also an excellent walking companion! Dora is very playful, children and adults alike, as well as other dogs and cats. She is very food motivated, loves chew toys; and enjoys keeping her humans company. Once she even comforted another dog while being treated in the hospital! She is an absolute sweetie you would not want to miss! About Dora’s rescue: In south eastern Taiwan, near the coastal region, where the villagers are very much into worshiping the local goddess, but most of them are short in the knowledge about animal welfare, let alone caring for them. Unfortunately, Dora and her nine siblings were born in this area. As the volunteers were overwhelmed with the number of strays to be cared for, rescuer’s help was sought. When Dora was taken over by the rescuer, she was only two months old. She was severely malnourished. But she’s also one of the luckier ones to be raised by a foster family.

Minnie, spayed female, 9-months-old, 26-lbs If you would like to give MINNIE a forever home, please contact abetterchancerescue@gmail.com OR log onto abetterchancerescue.org to fill out online application Meet Minnie! Being incredibly affectionate, Minnie can be calmly active and actively calm. While the playful Minnie makes her a great companion for outdoor adventures, the gentle Minnie melts your heart with the warmest interaction with people. One thing to note is that while Minnie loves playing with other dogs, she is not too keen on sharing her toys with them. Training and guidance are suggested for the adopter who is looking for a second (or more) family dog! About Minnie’s rescue: Minnie, at the age of one-month-old, was found in the wild in southern Taiwan along with her siblings. There was no sight of the mother dog nearby, this is apparently another case of abandoned puppies in the wild. When the three sisters were found, they were living in a densely overgrown land with no shelter and food, quietly enduring hunger as they waited for hope. Fortunately, under the loving care of our foster family, Minnie and her sisters have grown into three healthy and happy pups that are ready to enter their forever homes!

Story

Scarlett, spayed female, 10-months-old, 30-lbs If you would like to give Scarlett a forever home, please contact abetterchancerescue@gmail.com OR log onto abetterchancerescue.org to fill out online application Scarlett is smart, lively, and close to people; full of puppy energy, but calm and obedient if compared to other young pups her age. She always greets everyone with a sweet smile and non-stop wagging tail. She is good with dogs and behaves very well when meeting other dogs outdoors; she is also calm and friendly with cats. Her favorite pastime is taking daily walks and romping around with doggie friends in the park. She is potty trained and crate trained to sleep overnight, with no barking nor chewing issues. Scarlett can fit into any type of family quickly, also can be a great candidate for family looking for sibling to the existing dog. She would make a wonderful companion, and she certainly deserves a loving family! About Scarlett’s rescue: Traveling on a country road the volunteer picked up a stray dog, skinny but heavy into pregnancy. She soon gave birth to five puppies, Scarlett was one of them. Being cute and good looking, Scarlett was soon adopted by a young couple. Even with all their good intention and love, the young couple realized not long afterwards that they did not have enough time to take good care of her; she was only taken for walk once every week on weekends, and when her masters are away on business trips, Scarlett had to stay at the boarding place. So, when the rescuer learned about this situation, she decided to look for better opportunities for Scarlett.

Story

Canine Good Citizen Program Awhoooo! I'm Emilio! I'm a 2 year old, neutered male, 60 pound Chocolate Lab/Pit Bull mix and I'm excited to meet you! I'm a very affectionate boy but I can come on a bit strong. It's only because I'm so stoked to see you! I love giving hugs and will try to sit on you. I'm as cuddling and huggable as can be! I also love to run, sniff, jump -- and did I mention jumping?! I'm super great at it. My buddies here at PHS tell me there are times jumping is not appreciated, and I'm doing my best to learn manners. My ideal home will be with adults who are ready to devote lots of time and energy giving me love, training and exercise. I would do best in a home where I am the only pup for now. Since I'm not always sure who I can give high fives to, I would do best in a home with adults only. I can't wait to be your forever faithful adventure buddy! Emilio ID# A931862 The AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) program provides a perfect framework for training a dog to become a polite member of society! I am on track to get CGC certificate! In order to pass I have been training hard to master the following 10 items: Politely greet strangers. Sitting politely for petting. Accepting of grooming. Good manners on walks. Walking through a crowd politely. Sit and down on cue and staying in place. Coming when called. Not reacting to another dog while on walks. Does not react to distractions. Waits patiently when separated from owner.       Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.

Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We adopted her as a puppy from Friends of Madera Animal Shelter. She is three years old and has a lot of energy. She loves long walks and hikes and mellows out really well after exercise. She is very happy and loving and just wants lots of love in return. She is definitely trainable and had been at one point but we fell out of regular training and she picked up bad habits of not listening, leash and territory aggression (toward other dogs, not toward people) but has shown great promise in just a couple training sessions. We have two children (ages 6 and 9) who she loves dearly but needs guidance on how to appropriately play with young children (lots of jumping on them and can be mouthy to show joy). We are looking for a new home for her because the training, exercise, regular care and costs fall on one person in the household and this is no longer sustainable. We love her but she is not living her best life in our home and deserves more attention and training from a new home.

Elliot is URGENT! We are scraping together every penny we can to pull him before Saturday 9/2/23. He is an awesome dog and will make a wonderful family pet. He is GREAT with people and other dogs..knows commands..sit, paw, you name it. He is even house-trained..he really had to go potty but held it all day long in his kennel till he got outside. He is a true love and a beautiful dog. Elliot LOVES games and LOVES to play. He loves the little shelter swimming pool. He was timid at first when he got to the LOUD overfilled shelter, but the staff and volunteers believed in Elliot and began working with him. Please help us find a foster home in the SF Bay area so we can save Elliot. Please watch Elliot's TikTok a loving hardworking shelter volunteer made. We cannot let Elliot die!! https://www.tiktok.com/@heathersshelterpals/video/7272203880790871342?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7266557266978752043 Please consider fostering Elliot so we can pull him from the shelter.
