Story
Video: https://youtu.be/LHRAJJ-SV6U More videos of Meri in her foster home: https://tinyurl.com/4w3ywfee Meri is just about the gentlest, most docile, dog you'll ever meet. Her quiet, unassuming demeanor and loyal nature will pull at your heartstrings. She doesn't ask for much and isn't pushy at all. She's content to simply be by your side. She'll follow you around the house, lay her head against your lap, gaze at you adoringly with her tail gently wagging, and give you soft kisses. She is the epitome of a faithful, devoted companion. Meri lived at the county shelter for over 6 months and was a volunteer favorite with her soft sweetness. How she survived in such harsh conditions with her ability to love unscathed speaks volumes about her temperament. As a large, black dog, she was easily overlooked by adopters. But those who spent even a little time with her could see what a rare gem this girl is. Meri is crate-trained, rides calmly in the car, walks well on leash, knows commands such as "sit," "down," "shake" and "stay," and is responsive to even soft voice correction. Meri is a mellow, calm and well-behaved girl in the house. She doesn't beg for food, waits nicely to enter a doorway, takes treats gently, isn't mouthy, whiny or a nuisance barker, and is very respectful of personal space. She is a sensitive and soft soul. She adores people and greets everybody who comes to the house with gentle affection. Meri is still working on house training. Given how long she was trapped in a kennel at the shelter, with nobody to take her outside regularly, it may take some time for her to become familiar with a new routine. She also has a fear of baths and water nozzles, something we believe developed while at the shelter, so we towel wipe and dry bathe her when needed. Meri is fear-reactive with dogs she sees on walks, particularly if they are walking in her direction. We have been working with her under the guidance of a behaviorist and have already seen improvement, but her new family would need to continue with training. While we were told by the shelter that she had to be an only dog because of her fear-reactivity, we were able to slowly introduce her to our other foster dog over the course of several days. They now live and play together. Meri is estimated to be about 7 years old and weighs approx 75 lbs. She is spayed, microchipped, and current on shots. Meri is currently being fostered in PLEASANT HILL. She's been through a lot and we are determined that she'll have the best life going forward, so application, adoption fee & homecheck will apply. Meri is just the sweetest girl and will make you feel like you're the most special person in the world. ** Interested in becoming a co-foster parent?

Story
Foster or adopter needed! Rocky is an affectionate, gentle and calm cuddle bug. He is friendly with all people and gets along with dogs, big and small. In fact, his best playmate is a small poodle. He has a playful streak, but is on the mellow side. Rocky was so malnourished when he went to the shelter that he was all skin and bones. We think his past life was pretty rough, but that hasn't affected his gentle demeanor at all. He is quick to trust and love. Rocky is neutered, current on shots, and microchipped. He has some separation anxiety so would do best with a family who is home often or who is willing to work with him to ease his anxiety. He will make the sweetest companion. Rocky is currently being boarded in a kennel but will soon be displaced as the kennel is shutting down. He needs a home urgently, whether it be a foster or adopter. ** This is a courtesy listing. If you’d like to meet Rocky, please contact Martina Animal Rescue at martinaanimalrescue@yahoo.com or text Desiree at (510) 575-5086. He is located in Walnut Creek, CA. **

Story
Mama Daisy  Daisy is one of the rescue's favorites. She loves her people and loves scratches under her chin. This senior blond babe is a total sweetheart. Not a lot is known of her background but it's clear that at some point she suffered severe abuse. We believe she is blind in one eye, but it doesn't slow her down. Last summer she had a litter of puppies and more than likely has had many litters over her 9 years. She is now spayed and able to enjoy her golden years. Daisy is very laid back, takes treats very tenderly.  Although she loves meal time, she will sit and wait for the "take it" signal. She loves her leisurely daily walks, and is very curious about her surroundings and other people and animals. She truly loves attention, and will come put her head on your lap to receive love, even better if she can cuddle up to you on the couch. Although we don't know how she is with cats, she gets along well with other friendly dogs. She is house trained, crate trained and has  made great strides on her leash skills.  ##1841728##

Story
Gorgeous, sweet, Canelo found himself back in the system 😥 He is currently safe, but he needs an adopter, or even foster or foster to adopt, STAT. He has the most beautiful, soft, silky coat, perfect for snuggling in this colder weather ♥️ and cuddling is his most favorite thing to do! He loves belly rubs, and any kind of attention! While he doesn't love going into his crate, he does very well in it. He will lie down and play possum if he thinks he's going in 😄 Canelo seems to love everyone he comes in contact with, everyone is his friend. He has a medium to low energy level, and a sweet, loving personality. He's an easy going boy who would make a great family dog, or a perfect companion for someone who is looking for a cuddle buddy to hang out and watch TV with. He will need a cat free home, or someone who will be able to keep him separated from cats at all times. He finds them WAY too interesting. what we know about Canelo: 8 years old Neutered Up to date on vaccines Crate trained and house trained-he is also vocal when he needs to go! Does well with other dogs Good with children Seems to ride well in the car Does well on a leash Knows some basic commands If you are interested in fostering or, even better, adopting this handsome guy, please contact Martina Animal Rescue at martinaanimalrescue@yahoo.com or text Laura at 916-996-5777.

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 hereMeet Leroy, a 2-year-old, 85-pound gentle giant with a heart as big as his impressive build. Leroy exudes puppy energy during playtime, lighting up the room with his soft white coat. A master on the leash, he's a force to be reckoned with, yet a gentle treat taker who knows how to sit. Having called Oakland Animal Services home since his stray days, Leroy is on the lookout for a family with plenty of space for him to roam and explore. Although he could thrive as a solo dog, he's shown tolerance and patience with other large dogs during playgroup sessions. Leroy's love language? Affection. This good boy is not just looking for a home; he's looking for a place where he can share his love and joy with a family ready to welcome him into their hearts.           View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Oakland Animal Services (OAS) (@oaklandanimalservices)  March 27, 2024, 9:03 am

Story
I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog L:3 Pupusa came to a shelter in a pretty rough shape, but she is now a happy and healthy pup.  She is a very sweet, well-behaved and lovable couch potato with spurts of energy between naps.    Well-Behaved:  No inappropriate chewing or mouthing (she does enjoy chew treats).   She sometimes tries to reach the kitchen counter but is too short to steal anything (LOL).  Once told “no," she minds it well.   We left her alone about 2 hours 1-2 times a week without crating her and she was fine.  Rarely barks. Sound Sleeper:  She sleeps (and snores) a lot!  We initially made her sleep in a crate and she slept through the night.  However, since she generally behaved well, she was allowed to sleep on the doggie bed or her favorite chair.   Excitable: She loves people’s attention and is very friendly with everybody she meets. (Videos on her IG @adopt_oas_pupusa.) When she is a bit too excited, she tends to forget her manners. She is also excitable about other dogs and tends to pull hard towards dogs that pass by, but she can be redirected.  Power Walker: Between her naps, she perks up and leads her human on a brisk 20-30 minute walks a few times a day.  She also is food-motivated and enjoys training sessions.   She’s estimated to be 4 years old and weighs almost 60 pounds.

At 5 years old, Joe Joe is the perfect medium age: old enough to know how to hang out at a beer garden, young enough to enjoy playing with toys. He’s an extrovert who likes to ham it up with people, greeting new friends with full body wags and leaning into shins. Joe Joe is an absolute charmer who knows some basics, too! Joe Joe is gentle and independent with other dogs. He'd be at happy as your one and only, or with another appropriately matched dog. If you’re as enamored with his smile and sploot as we are and have a drawer full of chew toys, come by during our open adoption hours to meet 60+lbs Joe Joe! March 27, 2024, 9:03 am
