Story
Meet Ivory — A Beautiful Soul with a Smile as Big as Her Heart Ivory is a stunning 2-year-old, all-white pittie with a heart full of love and a smile that could light up any room. She came to us from Oakland Animal Services after running out of hope — and time. After swallowing a toy in the shelter, Ivory underwent major surgery and made a full recovery in a loving medical foster home. Sadly, going back to the shelter left her anxious and stressed. Thankfully, her amazing foster family welcomed her back, and she’s now thriving. At 56 pounds, Ivory is the perfect medium-large size — strong enough for adventures, yet the ultimate snuggle buddy. She’s doing great with house and crate training, and loves having structure and routine. Ivory is a medium-energy girl who enjoys hikes, long walks, and car rides, but she’s just as happy rolling in the grass or cuddling on the couch. Her joy is infectious — she’s always smiling, and her photos could melt even the coldest hearts. We’re still learning her quirks. She can be a bit cautious with new people or sudden changes, but warms up quickly with gentle handling. She’s affectionate, goofy, and wants nothing more than to love and be loved. Ivory enjoys other dogs, especially those her size or larger who match her respectful, playful energy. Because of her strength and sensitivity, she’d do best in a home with big-dog or pittie experience — someone who can offer consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. Ivory is smart, eager to please, food-motivated, and a fast learner. She just needs someone willing to guide her with love and celebrate her progress. If you’re looking for a loyal, resilient, and affectionate companion who’s ready for hikes, snuggles, and non-stop smiles, Ivory may be your perfect match.

Story
Meet Lenny, who is only about two years young and 65 pounds. He came to us from a high kill Shelter in Los Angeles, where he barely made it out. It took a village, but we got him up here to the Bay Area and he is now thriving. He’s a young boy who’s full of energy and needs an active family who understands bully breeds. He’s smart and eager to please, very food motivated but also can be stubborn. He’s doing so far great on house training and is learning the crate is his friend not his enemy. He can be a bit pushy and in other dog faces so they definitely need proper introductions and he would thrive with basic training. His ideal home will have a backyard, lots of daily walks, formal training, commitment, and someone who just wants to be loved forever. He’s already fully vetted and ready to adopt.

Story
I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereOswald is a mellow, affectionate 2-year-old bulldog mix weighing about 50 pounds. With soulful eyes and a laid-back charm, he’s happiest lounging beside you on a bench or soaking up attention from anyone willing to offer pets! On a recent field trip, he made friends with multiple strangers, explored the beach and park trails, and even found time for a nap in the grass. He walks nicely on leash and is content to take things at his own pace. Oswald enjoys sniffing around and occasionally deciding where the walk should go. He rides calmly in the car, knows “sit,” and takes treats with gentle enthusiasm. Oswald is polite and easygoing around other dogs and shows zero interest in squirrels, birds, or other distractions. He has a bit more pep than your typical couch potato but still prefers a relaxed lifestyle with short walks and lots of cuddles. He’s such an easygoing companion! If you’re seeking a soft-hearted sidekick who’s equal parts quirky and cuddly, Oswald might be your match. Click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.
