Story

I've had Cerberus since he was a puppy. He is a good dog but I am not equipped to handle his behavioral issues. He charges at dogs in public, attacks dogs and cats, and can't be left alone without him experiencing anxiety. I don't know what to do but he deserves a good home and an experienced owner that can bring out the best in him.

Story

Smudge is a good boy that ended up with mange and eyelid issues that likely landed him in the shelter. This handsome guy is just over a year old, according to our vet, and is a tad underweight at 43 pounds. Well, his new life is here. He navigated our let's office like a champ on day 1 out of the shelter, greeting strangers like friends! He is being treated for the mange and is expected to have a full recovery with no longer term skin issues. He has also recently been neutered and has had entropion eyelid surgery so he can see his new life beautifully! In the meantime, we have learned he is super friendly, is fine around other dogs (mostly ignores them in favor of people), does get a little queasy in the car (drooling only) and is an all-around gentleman. We will post more as we learn about Smudge. He is fostering in the SF Bay greater area.May 17, 2026, 9:27 pm

GUS

Shar Pei Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 4 yrs 1 mo

Pt. Richmond, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Gus, a smart and driven dog looking for a structured home that can meet his needs and help him thrive. 🐾 Gus is medium energy and does well with other dogs when given slow, thoughtful introductions. He is leash reactive and will need continued training and guidance, so a strong, confident handler who understands dog behavior will be important for his success. Gus already knows “sit” and enjoys learning, especially when his mind is kept busy—he needs mental stimulation to stay balanced and happy. Gus does not do good in busy urban environments as he can be reactive to loud noises and cars. He would do best in a quiet suburban area with not much foot traffic or busy streets. Gus is also not good with cats, so a cat-free home is required. While he can do well with dog-savvy teens, an adult-only home is preferred to provide the calm, consistency, and structure he benefits from most. With the right handler, clear boundaries, and ongoing training, Gus has the potential to be a loyal, focused companion for someone experienced and committed to helping him be his best self. Read about what a previous foster has to say about Gus: "Gus is the definition of chill. When he's not trying his best to sit in your lap or rest his head against you, he's most likely sun bathing or bird watching. He was extremely tolerant and respectful of our large high-energy shepherd. He is crate trained and will often go in his crate on his own when bedtime comes around, as well as being very respectful of our space whenever we needed a break or were busy. He can be a bit reactive towards other dogs and cars while on leash, but this can lessen with training and someone willing to work with him. Gus would be perfect for a homebody or family who want a loyal companion to enjoy cuddle time."
