Story
Looks like: Maltese / Shih Tzu mix Female, 5 years old (estimated), 10 pounds This energetic little ball of fluff has a zest for life that is absolutely contagious and will surely put a big smile on your face! Adelaide (or Addie for short) is a very happy, super loving, tremendously sweet, and hugely attentive lady. She is ready for outdoor adventures and is an excellent motivator for fast-paced walks. Addie does well around other dogs and gets especially excited when meeting new human friends. She enjoys playing with respectful kids, but may be a bit too rambunctious at times for small children. We are not sure yet how she would behave around cats. On car rides, she agrees to be leashed to the back seat where she can get right behind the center console, although she would prefer to be in someone's lap at all times. She is calm when home alone every now and then, but she would much rather be around her people as much as possible. During goofy spurts of playfulness, she loves to show off with her stuffed toys and puts on a big show, shaking them, throwing, and chasing them! We are so pleased to see Adelaide blossoming in her foster home as she came to us from a hoarding situation where her care was neglected. She insists on not being stuck inside of a kennel ever again and is eager to join her forever family where she can soak up loads of loving attention.

Story
Looks like: Maltese mix Female, 10 years old (estimated), 9 pounds Sweet little Chispita can be on the shy side when first making friends but warms up quickly. She hasn't yet met a dog who didn't become her best friend, and the same can be said with humans she meets! This little lady may be in her golden years, but she sure doesn't act her age! She has plenty of energy to move her little legs and seems to really enjoy her walks. Chispita apparently had a rough (or shall we say 'ruff') start to life. She was found running the streets severely matted, but that hasn't stopped her from loving every person and dog she meets. We don't know yet how she'd do around kitties or kids. Chispita came to us after being found as a stray and landing at Hitchcock Road Animal Services.

Story
Grooming Required SPECIAL NEEDS - Poppy is a small, special needs Maltese mix girl who is looking for a home with experience and patience.  Poppy is a physically healthy dog, but unfortunately because of major trauma she has experienced as a pup, she is very fearful of people and new situations.  Once her trust is earned she becomes very bonded and a loving companion, but it would take time and experience to gain her trust. Poppy would do best in a home that has had experience with fearful dogs like her and understands she is a very sensitive dog who will need patience and time to bond. Poppy is not social and does not do well in social situations, she is not a dog that would enjoy outings to unknown places or people.   Because she has hair and not fur she will require a special groomer every month that is not situated in a salon environment, as this would traumatize her.  Poppy does well with other dogs and cats and is a very active dog, with lots of energy who would enjoy a house with a fenced in yard.  But she will settle down when inside her home and prefers sleeping in bed with you.  Poppy does not do well in a crate as that is a trigger due to her trauma.   Poppy's preferred home would be a younger quiet retired couple with no children living in the home. She is not an aggressive dog but she is not confident either and will need lots of attention and time to help her feel safe.  It's sad that her short life had been full of fear and trauma, but this little special needs girl is looking for the right adopters to give her a furrever home Poppy is looking for a home in the Bay area.  As a special needs dog we would prefer a local adoption.  If you think you can give this special girl the experienced home she needs, please contact her foster mom at lvscats2002@yahoo.com  September 30, 2023, 3:05 pm

Story
This is a courtesy post.   Hope and Faith are bonded siblings who are looking for a home and family who has enough room in their hearts for two sweet little girls. They are very social and loving lap dogs who would make awesome companion dogs. They love going for walks, playing with their toys exploring new smells, hanging in the back yard and just being on your lap. These cutie patootie's are pretty mellow and warm up to people pretty quickly. They are good natured loving and adorable. Faith and Hope have spent their whole life together and would need a home willing to keep them always together. The would love a home with a fenced yard and would not do well in an apartment setting. These girls have only ever had one loving owner, and that person has recently departed, leaving Faith and Hope homeless and lonely for a new family  We don't believe they would so well with small children as they are not used to them. Older children would be fine as well as young retirees who have the time and would love a couple of companions. All their medical has been completed and they are fully healthy dogs. Faith and Hope are located in the South Bay.     For more info contact Diane lvscats2002@yahoo.com               September 30, 2023, 3:05 pm
