Story
Meet Skipper! He is a very sweet loving dog who does take time to adjust to his people and new environments. He likes to go anywhere his people are and is always down for an adventure. He does require another dog in the home as he look at them for comfort and direction. He is use to a pack of dogs and would be happy to have siblings. He has been around a cat and didn't mind her but might chase to play. He is currently in foster with a staff member from Milo and goes on hikes in Tilden with her dogs and he does really well. His recall is a work in progress but with treats he will be by your side. He has the best zoomies and has opened up a lot! She is working on getting him comfortable with the car as he can get a little car sick but he is getting a lot better and working on his confidence building. He loves to play with both people and dogs, play fetch, hide and seek, and more! He has a lot of energy but will do anything to cuddle by your side. If you are looking for an active small dog who will also lay by your side, he is your guy!

Story
These castaways washed up on Milo’s doorstep sick and terrified. With proper medical care, good food and daily attention, they are slowly learning they are safe. It’s taking us time to work through the shyness, but it’s very evident that they just want to be with people they love. With patience and TLC, these sweet Shih Tzus are blossoming into loving companions. Gilligan is the quirkiest of this bunch. He is independent but has made huge progress since arriving at our adoption center.

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Howell/Ace of Hearts is getting over his skittishness and showing his playful, cuddly side. He’s a really sweet, soft, perfect-sized dog (20 lbs), with sweet grey-brown coloring and an adorable heart shaped patch of white fur on his chest. He’s youthful and playful, but has a chill, low-maintenance personality. With his current foster mom, he is affectionate, obedient and attentive. He cooperates with putting on his harness for walks but lifting each leg in turn, and is very gentle and well behaved on the leash. He seems fine with other dogs, showing interest and appropriate behavior. He likes to play a lot, chasing his new favorite squeaky ball and rag toy, but not manic or zany. He’s very quiet, and has only barked a little when he’s seen a squirrel in a tree and when he gets especially excited to play. He loves to sit outside under a bush chewing on his bone toy for hours. He’s taken to collecting socks and shoes from around the house, but hasn’t chewed on anything except his toys. He’s sleeping well at night in his dog bed. He shows no signs of aggression at all - has a very gentle mouth for taking treats. When he’s uncomfortable, his tail drops and he retreats. He’s going to make a lucky family very happy, and is suited to an active family who will continue to let him relax into his true, sweet, loving nature with everyone.

Story
With luscious blonde locks that put even the most intense volumizing shampoo to shame, Acornelius’s soft, silky fur make him the perfect cuddle buddy and nap neighbor. His good-natured personality and sweet shyness may not immediately catch your attention, but the positive vibes emanating from his core are reminiscent of the mighty oak that will grow from his acorn of love. Like most acorns, Acornelius enjoys the great outdoors and will happily accompany you on short jaunts to determine where he should be planted. Acornelius shares all of the characteristics of his namesake – he’s loyal, steadfast, and hopes to be planted in his new forever home soon. Do you have the soil needed for the adorable Acornelius? Here's some notes from his foster: Acornelius is learning to trust the world, one sniff at a time. Gentle and soft-hearted, he wouldn't harm a fly, he just needs a little patience to come out of his shell. He's relatively independent, but earn his trust and he'll cozy up next to you asking for pets.

Story
When packing all of your essentials for the day into your purse or bag, do you know what would come in clutch? Why just that, Clutch, a magnificent Maltese who will make your day about 100% brighter. Clutch is a petite pup who has gotten a new lease on life with a new haircut, and, as part of her plan to turn over a new leaf, she’s looking to shake up her environment. Clutch is looking for a forever home with lots of treats, cozy spots to snuggle, and all the love and affection she can handle, so she’s not asking for much at all. A gorgeous gal like Clutch deserves to be treated like the princess she is; are you looking for a little royal to spoil? Here's some notes from her foster: Do you want to feel like a celebrity every day? Clutch will make you feel like you are the best thing since sliced bread! Clutch is a sweet, friendly and affectionate little girl who would love to find a human to stare at and follow from room to room. She is loving her new life and though she is happy to hang out and watch Netflix, she sometimes also gets the zoomies and has fun zipping around the house. She is good with other dogs and loves a nice little treat (who doesn't?). She may be a little shy at first but really blossoms when she settles in.

Story
Maltese Mix Age: Senior Female, Spayed 15 lbs Adoption Fee: Donation (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations) Kylie (a.k.a. Bitsy) was brought to the San Jose Shelter as a stray and in pretty poor condition. She was underweight, no use of her her back legs, missing fur, urine burns from incontinence. In spite of it all, she had a wonderful disposition. The shelter contacted us to pull her. She uses a cart and wears diapers for her incontinence. Here is what her current foster mom has to say about her: Bitsy (Kylie) is a loving, bossy, and lively dog. She loves going for walks or sniffing around the park. Bitsy will ask you to play by grabbing her stuffy and bringing it to you. She also enjoys enrichment activities like puzzles and snoops. She has gotten along with having a second foster dog in the house as well as strangers. She is a polite greeter on walks. Bitsy needs her bladder expressed 3-4 times a day. She sits perfectly still as you do so. At home Bitsy navigates the house just fine. She will try to rush out the door to go with you on errands and does happy hops when you come home. For more information about Kylie, you can email us at: nobodysperfektdogs@gmail.com
