Story
Wick is a 90+ pound sweetheart with a big heart and an even bigger need for love. Loyal, affectionate, and gentle, he has all the makings of a perfect companion. But right now, shelter life is taking a toll. The noise, constant activity, and lack of routine are overwhelming for him—it’s clear he belongs in a home, not a kennel.What Wick truly needs is a calm, loving environment where he can exhale, feel safe, and return to being the happy, trusting dog we know he is. Even in the midst of his stress, Wick seeks out affection and leans into human connection. He enjoys quiet walks, soft beds, and simply being near his people.Wick is house-trained, neutered, and knows his basic commands. He gets along with some other dogs and would thrive with patient, experienced adopters who understand large-breed dogs and can give him time to settle in.He doesn’t need much—just stability, kindness, and a little room to stretch out. In return, Wick will offer you quiet companionship, unwavering loyalty, and a heart full of gratitude.Please consider opening your home to Wick—whether through adoption or foster. Helping him leave the shelter could be life-changing—for both of you.

Story
Meet Bulldozer! 🐾 3-Year-Old Purebred American Bully | DNA Tested | Big Heart, Bigger Personality Bulldozer is a high-energy, water-loving cuddle bug who's as goofy as he is affectionate. He’s happiest when splashing in a lake, chasing sticks, or crunching empty water bottles—then promptly collapsing in your lap for snuggles. A true velcro dog, Bulldozer wants to be your constant companion and will happily follow you from room to room, tail wagging all the way. He’s already learned Sit, Down, Wait, and Heel, and is currently in training to fine-tune his manners. His trainer is so committed to his success that they're offering free maintenance lessons for life to his adopter. He walks well on leash but needs gentle reminders to stay calm when he's excited (and he's excited often—joy is kind of his thing). Bulldozer is cat-friendly and dog-friendly with slow, structured introductions. He’s still learning doggy social cues, so he needs a savvy owner who can help guide his continued growth. Due to his breed and temperament, prior bully breed experience is a must—he thrives with confident, experienced humans who can help him regulate his excitement and navigate the world. Health-wise, Bulldozer has Hyperuricosuria (HUU), a manageable genetic condition that requires him to stay on a prescription urinary diet to prevent bladder stones. His forever family should be prepared to keep up with this important lifelong dietary need. Bulldozer is looking for a committed, loving home that understands his unique needs and is ready to embrace his big personality, wiggly cuddles, and continued training journey. In return, he’ll give you his whole heart—every single day. Ready to bulldoze your way into his heart?

Story
Howdy partner! The name's Cowboy and I'm a neutered, 1 and a half year old, American Bulldog mix. I'm a big boy, weighing in at about 72lbs. I'm a young and energetic pup that can be a bit of a bucking bronco when I get excited. I'm hoping for a family that is familiar with bully boys that will see me and think, 'this isn't my first rodeo.' Don't worry, I promise I have more in common with Ferdinand the Bull than I do with the real ones. I'd like to be a respectable gentleman so training is a must! I'd like to meet the entire household, including any resident dogs, prior to joining your family. For more information about me, must ask Customer Service about Cowboy! Thank you kindly! Cowboy ID# A959238Unless 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.

Hi there! 4 yr old Blue needs to be rehomed to a loving family who can provide him the love and attention he needs. He’s great with kids and other dogs that are fixed. Enjoys going to the beach, walks, pup cups and hanging out in the yard.
