Story
This guy is uber adorable! With those silly ears and that squishy jowl, he is almost irresistible! Shrimp is a super sweet boy who loves to give kisses and have all the fun! He is young and active and loves to play. He would make a great adventure partner as he loves to hike and swim and is an extremely smart boy. He is treat motivated and loves to learn and is looking for a new best friend to take on the world with. He absolutely loves all toys and swimming! Shrimp is a very active dog and loves long walks, he would benefit from an active family. Shrimp would greatly benefit from training since he does pull in the leash and is strong. He would enjoy agility training and maybe dock diving. Shrimp is not recommended to be housed with kids or cats due to a high prey drive. He has met dogs on and off leash and did okay. He has attempt to go after a trainers dog but was corrected and listened. Supervision is recommended for meeting others dogs. Shrimp is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and chipped. If you’re interested in meeting Shrimp please fill out an application and a volunteer will reach out within one business day. Betterworldrescue.org/adoption-application

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."

Story
Camilla is a gorgeous cream shar-pei mix and this girl landed in the shelter after being abandoned in an RV with other dogs. Cami has lived with other dogs, but we've found she would do best as an only dog or a with neutral or submissive male dogs. She is very good with people, and apparently has seen the world (or maybe US) by car/travel. Camilla is about 4 years old, is spayed and had entropion eyelid surgery and has all her vaccines and a microchip. She is about 45 pounds. She is fostering in the San Francisco area and we will post more as we learn it.December 27, 2025, 7:17 am

Story
Walker is a happy, friendly neutered shar-pei, who is great on leash and loves to go for walks. Loves treats. Likes bones. Friendly with people (even strangers). Walker ended up in a shelter, likely because he needs eyelid entropion surgery. Pei People has appointments to get him this treatment. Walker is new, and we will post more info as we learn it. What we do know is this guy is gorgeous!! Walker is fostering east of the San Francisco area.February 8, 2026, 11:23 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hunky Mack!Meet Mack! This sweet, hunky boy is an amazing cuddly companion! Mack's favorite place is hanging out with his humans, but no worries, when you need to leave him home, he is happy to hang out and snooze while you are away. Be prepared to be welcomed home as if you've been away for months - even if it was just an hour! Mack lives for his three daily walks, rides like a champ in the car, and can snooze just about anywhere. He’s also been an absolute star when it comes to his eye and skin care routines — what a good boy! Mack has recently started working with a trainer to improve his dog-ignoring skills. He has quickly learned that a happy "let's go" from his mom means he doesn't need to worry about the dog he just spotted - she has his back and he can relax! Mack is ready for a Bully-savvy home that wants to give a young dog the time, structure and love he needs to become his very best self - are you that home? Apply today to meet Mack!  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 23, 2026, 3:02 pm

She’s wiggly and happy, enjoys sniffing, and is easy to handle, including picking up toys or treats without any resource guarding. While generally well-mannered, she can pull on leash and get a little jumpy at times. She shows some stiffness when meeting dogs through a fence and has occasionally required kennel adjustments due to reactivity, but overall she’s social and loves attention, often asking for pets while playing.

Story
Meet Dumpling — our sweet, sun-loving goofball who runs entirely on solar power (and maybe just a little bit on snacks… okay, a lot on snacks!). This lovable girl adores people of all ages — adults, kids, and even the tiniest humans. She’s spent time with children as young as 6 and 8, soaking up their affection and happily joining in the fun. Dumpling is happiest when she’s out for a walk, basking in the sunshine, or curled up on a comfy bed dreaming about her next treat. She’s a certified food enthusiast — in her mind, every moment is the perfect time for a snack. While she’s not great with other dogs and has a strong prey drive toward small animals (dogs, cats, birds — anything littler than her), she’s a perfect only-pet companion. In return for your love, walks, and a steady supply of goodies, Dumpling will give you endless affection, big smiles, and the joy of sharing life with a true character.
