Story
Hi there, my name is Octavia, a spayed female, 2 year old, Rottweiler/Staffie mix that currently weighs about 80lbs. I'm an affectionate young lady that loves to love. I love belly rubs and going on walks! I'm an excellent kisser and cuddler too! I do my very best not to jump up on people to say hello but sometimes I forget then I remember again, and it ends up being more of a bunny hop. I'm a really smart girl that already knows 'watch me', 'sit', 'down' and of course the best game known to dog kind... Fetch! I really love being around people, I have been called a lovebug, and would be a wonderful constant companion for anyone looking for an affectionate but very energetic new friend. Let's go on adventurous hikes and explore the great, wide world together! I sometimes get overwhelmed since I'm still getting used new things, but with your gentle guidance, I can overcome anything! I can't wait to meet the whole household including any resident dogs before going home. For more information, just ask Customer Service about Octavia ID# A953428 I recently went on a fieldtrip with one of my PHS Volunteer friends! Here's how I did: Octavia went on a two-hour off-site walk that began with a relaxed loop around Washington Park and continued with a stroll along Burlingame Avenue. She greeted me with happy head rubs against my legs and plenty of wiggles. We walked to my car, where she jumped right into the front passenger seat. She remained calm and seemed to genuinely enjoy looking out at the passing scenery during the drive. At the Burlingame Community Center, we parked in the underground garage and took the elevator together—Octavia was curious but not at all nervous during the ride. Once at Washington Park, Octavia immediately rolled in the grass, clearly having a great time. Along the way, she encountered other dogs; although she pulled toward them, she redirected easily and kept walking when asked. A loud street sweeper passed by with its backup alarm blaring, but Octavia was unfazed. She showed interest in the sound of pickleballs being hit on the nearby courts, pausing to observe. We stopped at the Burlingame train station and watched two trains arrive and depart. The clanging of the crossing signals, train horns, and the trains themselves didn’t bother her at all. Continuing down Burlingame Avenue, Octavia walked nicely past pedestrians, strollers, small children, and more dogs, maintaining good manners throughout. At the intersection of El Camino Real, we turned around and made our way back through the park. On the return walk, Octavia demonstrated excellent composure, passing the bocce ball courts, children playing on the playground, a basketball game, and a riding lawn mower, all without any signs of reactivity. She descended the stairs to the parking garage with no hesitation and was calm during the drive back.  Octavia handled every part of this busy outing with curiosity, resilience, and great behavior.  Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.  You may call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment, or just drop by. Drop-In hours for Same Day Adoptions are 11 am – 5 pm, 7 days a week (closed major holidays). We do our best to update our listings regularly, but we can’t guarantee every animal you see is still available. It’s also typical for us to have animals who haven’t had their photos taken yet, so you are welcome to visit our adoption center and have a look around! To check on an animal's adoption status, please call 650-340-7022 during normal business hours to speak with an adoption counselor. Emails will be returned as soon as possible, but please allow up to 48 hours during busy adoption periods like weekends.November 25, 2025, 3:27 pm

Orso

Rottweiler American Staffordshire Terrier

Male, 6 yrs 5 mos
Half Moon Bay, CA

Story
Meet Orso – Mr. Easy Peasy, He is a big-hearted, low-maintenance cuddle buddy looking for a low-key, chill home. 📍 Stats at a Glance: ✔️ Age: ~6 years old ✔️ Breed Mix: Rottie/Staffie/Pittie/Boxer blend ✔️ Size: 105 lbs ✔️ Energy Level: Low – a couple of zoomies or a short stroll, and he’s done for the day ✔️ House Training: A+ – totally reliable ✔️ Personality: Friendly and affectionate ✔️ Health: Neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped Orso’s journey hasn’t been easy—he found himself surrendered to the shelter on Christmas Day. While we don’t know his full past, he appears to have been loved (a little too much in the food department) - he came in obese and limping but PACC has taken care of both of those issues. He’s a gentle, loving soul who craves companionship, leans in for affection, and thrives on belly rubs. 💛 The Ideal Home for Oscar: 🏡 A calm, relaxed household looking for a teddy-bear to brighten the mood and lift your spirits 🐕 Orso is unpredicatable with dogs hence he needs to be the one and only center of attention 🐱 No cats—we’re unsure of his history with our feline friends and want to be respectful of everyone's time 🚸 Kids 10+ — because kids take time, dogs take time and families with little ones rarely have time for both Orso is one of the easiest dogs we've come across, in the right setting. His needs are clear and simple - a house with a fenced in back yard, and the occasional short sniff walk. He loves company but has zero separation anxiety and no destruction. Impeccable house manners. A retired couple who like to hang out at home and would love some company would be ideal. He's a simple guy, with simple needs!

Story
Dezik is a sweet and gentle 6-year-old male Rottweiler/Pitbull mix. I got him over a year ago for my son, and he has been a cherished part of our family ever since. It breaks my heart to have to rehome him, but due to new landlord restrictions, I can no longer keep him. Dezik is a loving and loyal companion who deserves a home where he can be showered with affection for his golden years. He has a heart of gold and is looking for a family that will appreciate his sweet and calm demeanor. Though his past is a bit of a mystery, we know he is sensitive to loud noises and would thrive in a quiet, stable home. What I'm looking for in a new home: I'm hoping to find a loving and responsible home for Dezik where he will be a part of the family. A home with someone who understands and appreciates his breed and quiet nature would be ideal. * Sweet * Gentle * Loyal * Affectionate * Calm

Jonesy

Rottweiler Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 5 yrs 3 mos
Oakland, CA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Jonesy is young adult, 84-pound Rottweiler mix. Jonesy is a medium energy guy who knows how to enjoy the slower things in life, but also enjoys long waks. Jonesy is a pleasure to walk on leash. He loves to use his nose and goes on regular sniffaris. Jonesy is extremely food motivated and has proven himself a good candidate for further training. He will need an experienced home committed to further training. Jonesy would do best in an adult-only home. Ideally the person who adopts Jonesy would have experience with Rottweilers or done some research into the breed. Jonesy is comfortable around other dogs with the right match, but would be equally happy as a cherished solo companion.
