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! • I’ve been at the shelter for 30 days or more and weigh over 35 pounds, so the Friends of Berkeley Animal Care Services (FoBACS) have SPONSORED MY ADOPTION FEE! I’m a great dog who just needs a chance, and I’m ready to prove that big dogs make the best dogs!

Story
Cupcake is a sweet, seasoned pittie who’s mastered the art of relaxation and snuggles! This gentle lady adores the softer side of life: cozy plush beds, warm blankets, and, of course, you by her side to provide endless pets and love. A true couch potato and devoted foodie, Cupcake enjoys leisurely strolls that let her take in the sights without any rush. She can be a little stubborn at times, but with a touch of patience (and maybe a treat or two), she blossoms into the ultimate cuddle buddy. Cupcake’s heart is as big as her love for comfort — she’s happiest when she’s soaking up attention, quietly observing life from her favorite spot, or gently nudging you for more pets. She may not be the fastest runner or the most adventurous explorer, but her calm, loving presence makes her the perfect companion for anyone looking to share quiet, cozy moments. With Cupcake by your side, every day feels a little warmer, softer, and filled with love.

Frisky and full of energy, very smart and lovable, good and healthy, nails groomed, born and raised indoors.NEVER chewed shoes, mail, ect. Never had any incidents with other dogs. Human friendly, -50/50 with dogs 100% no cats. She listens to commands so she’ll STOP her pursuit INSTANTLY before running in streets or what have you. MY BEST FRIEND and i really hate to give her up, I just wanna BE SURE she has peers who will love her and take GOOD care of her. She loves her weekly baths and water in general, never took her swimming tho. She loves to play fetch the ball and I run her upstairs and down the slide EVERY day and night about 20 X in a row for exercise. Well behaved and extremely intelligent. A gang of energy always. She’ll play with you for hours if you can stand it She’s 27 months old born November 18th 2024. I TRULY want her to have a good home and owner, she’s a very impressive k9 and very enjoyable. Loves playing with kids certainly (Energy) always full. Family dog 🐶👍🏾

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 hereMarge is a 1-year-old, 47-pound terrier mix with a lot of love. This sweet girl recently finished raising her puppies and is now ready to be someone’s baby herself! She greets everyone with a wagging tail, and she’s always eager for attention (she’s working on keeping all four paws on the ground). Still very much a puppy at heart, Marge enjoys playtime just as much as cuddle time. She loves playing fetch and then settling in for long snuggle sessions with her people. She already knows basic cues like sit, stay, and off, and she’ll thrive with positive, reward-based training, especially to polish up her leash manners. Marge is friendly and playful with other dogs. She enjoys high-energy, wrestle-style play and could do well in a home with like-minded canine companions, but she’d also be happy as a solo dog with dog friends.  Sweet, affectionate, and full of joy, Marge is ready to help you start the new year! Follow her in foster with @oomyida on Instagram, and click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.
