Story
We got Myles last year when he was 3 months from the humane society in Milpitas. He will be a year old on April 25th. Since then we have had a lot of change happen and as much as this hurts us we need to rehome him. We have exhausted every option and no one can help with the level of capacity at all the facilities or the lack of people willing to take him in. He is a great dog with a lot of energy. Due to our schedule and living situation we are unable to provide him with the time and home he deserves. A good family for this dog would be someone who is at home and has a backyard. He is a lover and loves attention. Please help us find his forever home 🥹

Story
Cinnabon is a fun loving manatee-lookalike! Here's what our volunteers have to say: "To say this is an energetic and playful dog just doesn't describe what goes on the moment you toss a toy into the air. Don't be surprised if it doesn't even reach the ground! The one-dog three ring circus has begun. This is an athlete in fur, running at top speed, changing directions like a soccer game, and there seems to be no end to the energy. Toys go on a wild ride, and you'll laugh a lot!" Looking for some extra pizazz and silliness in your life? Come meet Cinnabon today! Primary Color: Tan Weight: 48.6 Age: 2yrs 2mths 3wks

Story
Momo came to our rescue when his owner passed away due to Covid-19. Momo is a little guy around 30 pounds and nine years old. He gets along well with other dogs, and has been a great older dog with younger foster mates. He truly is a gem of a dog, and loves to curl up in a bed and look up at you with soulful eyes. We are looking for a home that would love a senior guy who has such a zest for life and a lot of spunk left in his step! Because he had undergone a specialized surgery, his diet was difficult to manage for the family, dealing with grief. He has been with us about a year as we managed his diet and medication and is finally ready for his next forever home! If you are interested in meeting please fill out an application at our website www.gobeyondrescue.org/adopt. Our adoption fee is $450 and includes spay/neuter, microchipping and up to date vaccines. We adopt within 200 miles of San Francisco.

Story
Rosie is her name. Her birthday is 03/18/2018. She’s a great home dog. She loves walks but not too far :). She’s great with kids. If you are going to take her around other animals I’d be very careful and take it slow. She does have an eye problem in her right eye. Her eye lid rubs against her eye which causes “sleepies” in her eye. They are easily cleaned with a paper towel. Also her nose is very dry right now because she would rub her nose against a wooden fence continuously to see the dog on the other side. We’re using lots of coconut oil to cure it. Overall Rosie will be a great addition to your family. She’s an easy going dog just wants to be loved and given lots of attention.

Story
Hello everyone, I rescued Bacon from a high-kill shelter in LA where he was on the euthanasia list. Unfortunately, after 2 weeks of getting him, I discovered I’m severely allergic to him and would like to find him a new, loving forever home. Bacon is an incredibly loyal, gentle, loving soul ever. He is super friendly and loves cuddles. He would be a little bit shy at strangers first but warm up quickly. He enjoys belly rubs and going for walks but he’s also happy to snuggle on the couch. He’s always by your side and will be your shadow. You will never feel alone because he’ll stick to you like glue and always wants to be touching you in some small way at least. He knows basic commands such as Sit, Leave in, his name, Stay, break,... He’s also calm and not leash-reactive, but still needs more structure since he gets distracted easily. We’re working on his separation anxiety and he should be crate-trained until becoming familiar with the new house. He still needs to be potty trained.
