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

Ethan 12666

Maltese Shih Tzu

Male, 11 yrs 1 mo

San Francisco, CA

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Ethan, a chill Lhasa Apso, is the guy who, stumbling out of the house with bedhead to grab a breakfast burrito before surfing, is discovered by a model scout and winds up on the cover of GQ, destined to be the next Spiderman. Our easygoing snaggletooth has emerged from a tough time in a coat of wild white floof and some temporary baldness, and yet he’s clearly a gentle heartthrob about to star in a forever home filled with cuteness, hijinks, and unconditional love. Likes dogs, gets around like a champ, will never say no to a treat or a snuggle. Adopt him for an easygoing bestie; update us on his journey to fame and fortune. Here are some notes from his foster: Ethan came from a pretty rough situation but has made huge improvements in the past few weeks- I couldn't be more proud of him! He has so much confidence now that he's feeling better-- he loves hanging out with other dogs, has a huge appetite, enjoys going on walks, adventures in the car, loves cuddles and really really loves having a routine! His skin was a big issue when he came in- he had a skin infection that was hot and inflamed, huge patches of matted fur all over his body- he was feeling pretty painful, and didn't want to be handled, understandably. After a little bit of trust Ethan let me cut the matts off and from then on he slowly started to become a whole new dog. Like a lot of our dogs, Ethan's daily routine gives him a huge sense of safety. An example--Ethan knows after his morning potty time comes breakfast and he will patiently and proudly wait by his bowl, once he's finished eating, he goes into the living room to get cozy on the couch and take a morning nap.. etc. He's figuring out how to be a dog with the help of my resident dogs/ other pups from Muttville and it's been an amazing experience watching him thrive. He has such a goofy little personality, and cutest little face, with his tiny little underbite--you can't help but smile when he's around. Ethan's forever home should include lots of love, patience, TLC, positive reinforcement, and the ability to keep him to a routine-- All of your hard work will be rewarded with the never ending amount of love, trust and companionship Ethan has to give in return.

Story

Poor Mochi was neglected severely matted and very dirty at a distant shelter. Shelter had him shaved down by a kind groomer who donated her service. ð&#194&#159&#194&#146&#194&#156ð&#194&#159&#194&#152&#194&#141 He did get a nick on his tail from shave down. Needed a bandage on his tail. He was badly matted to his skin. Now he feels so much better. Happy and lovable. Mochi has been great with the foster home's 2 dogs cuddly polite friendly and very sweet. He is an absolute love very sweet snuggly polite and affectionate. Mochi loves his healthy foods and cuddling with foster mom. He will rest learn and get healthy and then will get his neuter surgery. More info. to come. Update: Mochi needs a new experienced foster home. He did great at his first temporary foster home with their two dogs. Loved cuddling lounging and quiet home with yard. Now that is feeling better and comfortable... They have biz travels so he was moved to a foster home monday evening in San Francisco with another dog. But city life is too noisy and busy for him. High foot traffic on walks. To much for him while he is adjusting and learning. At first foster home in San Jose with quiet neighborhood and backyard he was calmer and relaxed. Need experienced foster home to guide and train him on walks to not do reactive barking at new dogs. He loves to cuddle and very sweet. Good with her dog at home. 3/30/25 Update: Mochi is now doing better with his SF foster home. Learning. Now house-trained. He is very social and friendly with people and likes playing with other small dogs. Good with gentle and dog saavy older kids. On walks he is still learning and may do reactive barking at large dogs. He needs continue training to not react and ignore as needed. Mochi likes playing toys and chewing on his bully stick. He would love a home with another dog playmate.March 31, 2025, 12:55 pm
