Story
My name is Clifford ;-) I'm a great pit mix breed 4-yr-old neutered male and need to be re-home b/c of circumstances beyond my control. My owner for the past three years recused me from a shelter and we have had a great run. Unfortunately, my owner has challenges that are tragic and she can no longer provide the love and attention we have shared. I have a sweet and curious personality; and definitely I'm loyal and eager to please. Also I'm more than willing to do more training so you will be as happy as my large and energetic personality.

Story
Kay is a lovely girl who has been coming out of her shell and is turning into a social pup. She bonds quickly to humans and likes to stay very close. She doesn’t seem to have any issues with other dogs, and passes them calmly, as long as they don't get too close to her preferred human friend. She is friendly and loving, and will make a great addition to just about any home. Kay is currently in a foster home. If you're interested in her, please email KSwanson@cityofberkeley.info First, we'll set up a virtual meeting with their current foster family via phone, Zoom, or Facetime, to provide you with more detailed information. Then, if you feel that Kay might be a good adoption fit, shelter staff will gladly coordinate an up-close and personal meet and greet with your potential family member. Thank you for your support!

Story
Cupcake will steal your heart when you are not looking. She is a little shy at first, and takes time to trust new people. But if you take the tiny bit of extra time to get to know her, she will reward you ten times over. Once Cupcake gets a little comfortable, you will quickly start to see who she really is. She comes out of her shell a lot when playing with other dogs – she is very dog-friendly. Cupcake would love to go to a home with another dog to show her the ropes. And she hugs tight to people she trusts. Are you her person? She hopes so!

Like my namesake, I'm the perfect balance of many flavors! I'm an active girl who loves to run around and play fetch. But I'm also super sweet, so bring on the pets and belly rubs and I'll gladly share my affection whenever we can. I'm with you on a fur-ever journey of love, so let's get started now!

Story
If Jambalaya is your comfort food, you need to meet this dog. He's a shy boy at first, very unsure about everything. But he loves treats, and after sharing a few with him, you'll see his wiggly self emerge. Jambalaya doesn’t seem to have too much experience with leash walking, or much of anything else really. He’s also a little shy around other dogs and can be a bit nervous when passing them on leash. He’s a young guy still learning the ropes. But Jambalaya could not be sweeter. He will lean into you for pets, and his favorite thing (once he's comfortable with you) is to sit between your legs with his back to you for long, soothing pets. This boy is a real love bug, and appears to be housetrained.

Story
I'm a super fun girl with a happy zest for life and love in my new home! I'm an active girl, although please know I am recovering from patella surgery (and doing great!), so let's take things slow for now. As I get up to speed over the next months, I can't wait  for engaging walks in the neighborhood, adventures in the park or maybe even the beach sound great to me! Add in some cool toys to enjoy, and in time let's toss some balls and see if I retrieve (I'll keep you guessing)! Of course, belly rubs and snuggles are without a doubt a must for me, so let's get started on our joy ride through life now! Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Tan Age: 1yrs 4mths 2wks

Story
Kubo is a pure breed blue-nosed Pitbull. He is very playful and extremely intelligent. I want to give this rare gray brindle a better home than I can offer him. This is a heartbreaking decision, and we will NOT rehouse him to anything less than he deserves. And I noticed that the app says the dog requires to be neutered in 30 days. That’s not my requirement; it’s something the website says!

Story
Koko has been living with an elderly person who sadly is unable to care for her anymore. Koko's owner is having health issues and needs to find a new home for her. She needs some training but she is a very sweet loyal dog. She is good in the house, she does not chew or destruct, she is house trained, she has spent time in a crate so she is used to it. She is strong and so needs some leash training and socialization. But she will make a great companion for someone willing to put in a little work to train her and give her the exercise she needs. She loves going out for walks.

Story
Babe Lincoln was adopted from the Contra Costa Animal Shelter. He walked right up to my partner and me and threw himself down on our feet to receive some loving. It was love at first sight. He is about 3 years old and loves to play, fetch, swim, and snuggle. Everyone that meets him instantly falls in love with him. He is a very happy and goofy boy. He loves to be pet and loves to give kisses. He enjoys swimming at the beach or in a pool. He is great at fetch, although he is still learning to surrender the ball. He is great on a leash and rarely pulls, even when other dogs are present. He is a people dog and gets along with all the dogs he has come into contact with. He does great off-leash at the park and on hiking trails. The best home would be one where he is the only dog, but not required, he is currently 1 of 3. He will need someone who can give him regular exercise like a daily walk, but loves to cuddle and be a slug.

Flirty Birdy! Birdy’s just about a year old, is playful, full of good vibes and happy mischief.

Story
My dogs name is Rayah and she is my best friend. I got her a month after my first dog died and she helped heal me from the sad state I was in. It is now 3 years later and I am going to college and cannot take her with me. My mother is currently pregnant and unable to take care of her as well. It’s hurts my heart deeply to have to say goodbye to her because she has been of mental and emotional support for me but I know she deserves a home where someone will love and cherish her. She gave birth two puppies 2years ago and lost a lot of the litter but remained ok herself. She’s great with kids and loves to be hugged and rubbed as well as eat a lot. She is my best friend in the whole world and I just know she deserves a better home.

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 hereHey there, lovely people! I'm Aunti Bella, and I'm here to share my story with you. I may be a senior gal, but let me assure you, I've got plenty of sass and sweetness to offer! Just take a look at my cute little overbite and my adorable pink booper. People can't resist telling me how adorable I am! And you know what? I absolutely thrive on attention. Spending time with humans is my absolute favorite thing. I soak up all the pets and cuddles, and don't even get me started on those tasty treats. Yum! When it comes to furry friends, I have my preferences. I get along great with easygoing dogs, as long as they understand that I'm the boss of the play yard. After all, I've got a reputation to uphold! As for my age, well, I'm a mature lady of around 10 years old, and I weigh a little over 45 pounds. Perfect for cozy snuggles! Oh, did I mention my impeccable manners? I walk like a pro on a leash, and I always make sure to behave myself. Well, almost always. Sometimes, when I see other dogs, I might get a little chatty, but who can blame me? A few tasty treats can easily redirect my attention. And speaking of treats, I'm a foodie through and through. If there's one thing that motivates me, it's the promise of delicious goodies. But you know where you can find me when I'm not out on walks? My favorite spot on the couch! I could spend hours there, snoozing away and dreaming sweet dreams. Ah, bliss! Now, let me give you a few details about myself: I'm house and crate trained, though I must admit, I'm a bit of a couch potato at heart. I can handle being alone for 4-5 hours without any issues. I'm a pretty independent gal. I absolutely adore people, and I get along great with kids, even the little ones who are full of energy. They bring so much joy! Daily walks and hikes are my jam. I'm always up for some outdoor adventures and exploring new places. I must confess, I can get a little excited on the leash when I see other dogs or cats. I do get along with other respectful dogs! In fact, I recently had a fantastic time in a playgroup at OAS. So here I am, a true treasure in search of my forever home. I deserve a warm and loving place where I can shine and be cherished. If you're ready to open your heart and offer me the love and care I deserve, don't wait another moment. Let's create beautiful memories together. Follow me in foster @auntibella on Instagram!

Lola was rescued from a friend who couldn’t house her. She showed up at their door lost when they took her in. We believe she’s about 2/3 years old. Lots of people have told us she may have had a puppy already based on the size of her breasts. She’s a fun, energetic dog.
