Story
Hey there friends, my name is Tank Top! I'm a 3 year old, 65lbs., neutered male Bulldog/Staffordshire Terrier mix.  I'm an outgoing, confident fellow that is energy personified. I adore hanging out with my favorite human friends and literally jump for joy when I see them. My favorite game in the world is fetch and I can play it all day long. I would love to meet the whole family including any resident dogs before going home as I can be a bit rough and tumble when I play. I may be on the bigger side but if you let me, I'll climb right into your lap for some cuddles. Tank Top ID#A973019Unless 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. Drop-In hours for Same Day Adoptions are 11 am – 5 pm, 7 days a week (closed major holidays). We do our best to update our listings regularly, but we can’t guarantee every animal you see is still available. It’s also typical for us to have animals who haven’t had their photos taken yet, so you are welcome to visit our adoption center and have a look around! To check on an animal's adoption status, please call 650-340-7022 during normal business hours to speak with an adoption counselor. Emails will be returned as soon as possible, but please allow up to 48 hours during busy adoption periods like weekends.December 30, 2025, 5:27 pm

Chewbarka is only 9 months old and 2 pounds, but so heavy on charm and sweetness! He may be shy in new situations, but quickly warms up and asks for lots of love and pets. Chewbarka has not shown any reactivity towards other dogs, and loves people. Chewbarka came from a kill shelter where he was diagnosed brachycephalic with a heart murmur. For this reason, the Shelter was not able to neuter him. Chewbarka is current on his vaccines and is microchipped.

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
Energetic, loving, and goofy 9-year-old Ella is super sweet but needs a family with an experienced dog owner. A little under 2ft tall and 40 lbs, she's sleek and muscular. Ella is fully house-trained and very patient with the three cats she lives with. She's never lived with kids but is generally chill with the children in the neighborhood. 
 She loves her toys, playing fetch, tug of war games, following you around the house, and of course, napping. Ella wants to be involved in whatever you're doing and is alert to someone coming to the door. She is highly food motivated, Ella picks up new tricks quickly but can be stubborn and easily distracted, so she needs lots of consistent positive reinforcement to maintain behavioral changes. She has many opinions and she will let you know about them. 
 Ella also plays well with other dogs, although sometimes she has issues with dogs larger than she is, but is good at de-escalating potential conflicts. Ella really loves company so if her new people are gone for a full work day she will need a canine companion. She's leash trained and always excited to jump in the car to visit the park. Ella is a great dog looking for a home where she is loved and cherished. Would you be the one for her?" Ella is now being fostered in Oakland, CA and her adoption fee is $275.00 Arrangements to meet our dogs occur after an application has been received. Please contact us at dogzonerescue@yahoo.com for more information about this great gal or for an application to adopt.
