Story
I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereThis dog is available to meet by appointment only.  Millie is a 4-year-old, 10-pound Maltese mix who’s looking for a calm, loving home where she can feel safe and understood. Life hasn’t always been easy for this sensitive girl, and she needs time and space to build trust—but for someone patient and experienced with shy, defensive pups, Millie has so much love to give. In her foster home, Millie has been slowly coming out of her shell. She enjoys spending time with other small dogs, walks politely on leash, and is starting to show interest in toys. She's mostly house trained, uses pee pads, and loves her meals—especially when there’s cheese involved. Millie has a skin condition (pyoderma) that requires regular medicated baths and vet follow-up, and she’s been a great sport about it once she feels secure. She’s looking for an adult-only home with an adopter who understands that trust is earned, not rushed. With time, patience, and a gentle routine, Millie will blossom into a loyal, loving companion. If you believe in the beauty of a slow-growing bond, Millie is waiting for you! Click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.May 5, 2025, 12:39 pm

Story
Don't blink, you might miss this gentle little ghost of love. Peek a Boo may have a little trouble seeing the world clearly, but she feels every bit of kindness around her. With vision that's more "abstract art" than HD, she moves through life at her own pace: slow strolls, soft landings, and lots of lounging. Patience is the key to her heart, and once you unlock it? You’ve got a snugglebug for life. Sweet, serene, and surprisingly sassy when the mood hits, she's the perfect companion for anyone who appreciates the quieter things in life.

Story
Not unlike the famous Beach Boys song, when you meet this beautiful long-legged Maltese mix dudette, you too will wish they all could be California girls! Our sweet California has proven herself to be a bit of an extrovert which served her well in her previous place of employment. She tells us she had loads of fun meeting tourists on the Hop On-Hop Off bus, and providing interesting information about San Francisco as well as her namesake state. At 13 years of age, we think this lovely, agile gal would also have fun taking a walk through Golden Gate Park on a foggy morning. At 13 pounds she could prove to be the perfect partner for a morning or early evening stroll. She loves treats (don’t we all?) and is very polite, gentle and exceedingly sweet. She invites you to come any time to Muttville HQ, make her acquaintance and have a nice visit! Here's some notes from her foster: California is sweet and gentle with long legs that she uses to her advantage. For a senior dog, she moves easily and happily goes on walks up and down hills. She’s great on the leash, on stairs, and in an elevator. And she is excellent on toilet breaks - no messing around. On first meeting she may seem a bit shy but she warms up quickly especially if you have treats. She can ride on buses and go to the pharmacy at Walgreens (accompanied by her human of course). She loves little squeaky toys and will play fetch to a limited degree. But her favorite activity is eating treats and cuddling on the couch. We think she is a little hard of hearing which helps her cope with living in the noisy city, but she has learnt to sit on command with the right hand gesture (and a treat). She would make a great companion for someone, and loves to snuggle up. She sleeps soundly through the night and during the day likes to cuddle, nap, get head and belly rubs, and go out. (She’s pretty good at letting you know when she has to go out.) She doesn’t like to eat much in the first half of the day, although she does like her dinner and will accept treats anytime! She hasn’t barked yet, but lets you know she’s missing you. She has a kink in her tail so it may have been broken at some point. She lets bigger dogs know that they can’t boss her around, and we’ve been gradually introducing her to off-leash play with other dogs which is going well. (Since we don’t have a cat or kids we don’t know how she reacts but seems to be very comfortable with people.)

Story
**COURTESY REHOMING POST** Toa is not a CACC dog. We have not met him nor evaluated him and can't attest to his health or temperament. Please use the contact information listed to reach out and learn more. Tao, a part of our CACC Courtesy Rehoming Program, is a 2-year-9-month-old pup looking for a special kind of home—one filled with patience, understanding, and a heart willing to help him feel safe. Though he was loved by his previous family, they could no longer care for him, and he now needs someone who truly understands very shy dogs.Tao is naturally cautious around new people and situations. When he feels overwhelmed or insecure, he may react defensively, so he needs a steady, experienced person who can recognize his boundaries and gently guide him toward confidence. Tao may not be the kind of dog who thrives in every situation, but he is the kind of dog who will deeply bond with the right person. If you have the experience and heart to help this little soul find security and love, Tao is waiting for you. For more information on Tao, please email glxssy.naia@gmail.com
