Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog E:5 Meet handsome Cobalt! Here at the shelter, he’s been an absolute gentleman. He walks nicely on leash and relishes gentle pets and attention. He loves to play with toys, especially tug-of-war—he can be a little mouthy in his play style, though is easily redirected. He’s also a big fan of treats and takes them politely and gently. On a recent field trip, Cobalt showed what a great companion he will make, proving unreactive to people, bikes, runners, and wildlife. He acted so happy, and enjoyed sniffing and exploring while taking direction and letting his person set the route. He passed big and small dogs respectfully and was easily redirected if another dog was reactive when walking his way. He had energy to spare but was ready to settle in for a calm car ride with affection and treats when the outing was over.  Cobalt is a calm but energetic boy, and while he may never be a social butterfly enjoys affection and companionship with his people. He can get overwhelmed in some situations and will need slow introductions to busy/chaotic environments, looking to his people for confidence. Training and routines are a great way to help him. He has gotten along well with other respectful dogs and has a nice calmer energy. He would do best in an adult-only home with an experienced small dog adopter. Cobalt arrived at the shelter in desperate need of a glow up and will require continued coat maintenance throughout his life. This dog is available to meet by appointment only.

Story
Ginsburg may have been an adventurer in his youth, exploring the city in search of excitement and street snacks, but now he's ready for the comforts of a warm, loving home. Having seriously neglected his beauty routines during his wild phase, Ginsburg is now being pampered with soapy baths, a stylish buzz cut, skin-soothing meds, and soul-soothing cuddles. He's just the sweetest, friendliest guy around, and is clearly so happy to finally be cared for and comfortable. Ginsberg gets along great with other dogs! He has a decent amount of energy for a senior and would love regular adventures and walkies. He is very sweet and adorable! Here's some notes from his foster: Ginsburg is gregarious and cuddly! He is great with people and other dogs he meets on walks. Because he practically always runs and never walks, he could potentially overwhelm a dog sibling who goes at a slower pace than him. Aside from marking his territory on Day 1, he has had zero accidents indoors. He also knows "sit" and "stay," so I think he has had some basic training in a past life. He loves walking around in the neighborhood and in parks. Commercial areas might be over-stimulating; he likes to try and enter almost every store, and he gets a bit restless when he's inside a store. He does talk quite a bit; when he's excited, when he senses strangers near the house, when he's left alone. (But he is treat-motivated.) I have not yet left him alone for a long period of time. He would be a great addition to any home!

Story
Meet the pups of one of the best boy bands there is; Mindless Behavior! These gorgeous small mixed breed pups are ready to find their forever homes. They are cuddly, playful and full of life! They'd be great in any family that can provide them with further training and socialization! Raising a puppy takes time, patience and a true commitment. Puppies need enrichment, socialization and consistency in training. They take resources and can cause a few less than perfect nights' sleep. With lots of love and a little effort, your family will have a great dog for many years! Are you prepared to take the time and provide the resources a new puppy needs?

Ace is 16 months and a great loving dog. He needs another loving home with parents who have the time he needs to love on him. He is great with other dogs, kids and people. Unfortunately with work and school we don’t have the time he needs. He will be a great addition to any family especially those with young kids.

She eats cesar food and kribbles and anything she catches from our food :)
