Story
Canine Good Citizen Program Nice to meet you, my name is Teddy! I am a 1 year and 10 month old, 70 lbs., neutered male Pitbull Pointer mix. I'm an energetic, playful young boy with a lot of spunk! I'm friendly and eager to please. I'm looking for a family that is going to play with me and is ready to continue my training and socialization. I've improved a lot during my time here thanks to Canine Good Citizen class but I want to be a proper gentleman! I love playing with toys and am an all around silly guy. If you are looking for one happy, wiggly new friend than I'm the boy for you!  I would do best in a home with older kids that have been around rambunctious boys like me, so I would love to meet the whole family - including any resident dogs - before going home. I come on strong so I would do best with dogs that can match my energy! Whoo Hooo!  Teddy ID# A934993 The AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) program provides a perfect framework for training a dog to become a polite member of society! I am on track to get CGC certificate! In order to pass I have been training hard to master the following 10 items: Politely greet strangers. Sitting politely for petting. Accepting of grooming. Good manners on walks. Walking through a crowd politely. Sit and down on cue and staying in place. Coming when called. Not reacting to another dog while on walks. Does not react to distractions. Waits patiently when separated from owner.    Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.

Story
Hello everyone, my name is Rocky! I'm a 4 year old, 53 lbs., neutered male Pitbull mix. I'm a happy, energetic boy who enjoys running zoomies in the yard. But I'm the best of both worlds and know how to chill and hang out with my favorite person while we watch the world go by. I am working on my manners and will need my new family's help to become a perfect pup. I would do best with kids 6+ and would love to meet the whole family and of course any resident dog before going home. I recently went on a field trip with my favorite volunteer. This is what they had to say about our day together:  'Rocky was amazingly sweet today on his offsite with me, he was so so so happy to explore and be outside watching birds and smell the fresh air. In the car he tried to jump on the front seat, but I told him no, and he did not try again. Very good boy.'

Hi guys, I'm Dino! I am a 4 year old, 51lbs., neutered male Pitbull mix, who is an energetic, outgoing fella that loves to be outside. All of my friends tell me how handsome I am! I am one rambunctious boy who loves to run, jump and play. I will need to work on my manners to curb that excitement a bit but I love treats and can't wait to learn! I love being around people and already know how to sit if you offer me a treat. If you are looking for silly puppy hijinks in a bigger package, then I'm your boy!

I love to love and can sometimes be a bit overwhelming with my affection, but I listen really well and love treats so my training is coming right along!

Hi there, I'm Sally! I'm a confident, happy, 1 year old, spayed female Pitbull mix who weighs around 43lbs. I am an outgoing and playful young girl that needs a little help working on my exuberance, ability to share, and overall manners. I would love to go home with an active family that is ready for lots of fun and a whole lot of zoomies! Due to my rambunctious nature I would do best in a home with kids 8+.! I am all about excitement and the game of chase. Fetch is a favorite past time of mine as well, especially when what I'm fetching is squeaky! I enjoy playing with other dogs like me that are very physical players, but I'm a little too much for the dog park. The volunteers here at the shelter say I have a very nice 'sit' and I am working on more commands as well. I'm a smart girl!    Sally ID#A942443  Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.

I'm an energetic, wiggly young fellow that loves to run around and play with toys and my human friends! I'm still working on meeting and playing with other dogs, but I'm really gaining confidence. I would love my new family to help with my socialization with people and dogs when I go home, so for right now I would do best in an adult only home. I would love to go home to a family that is ready to teach me how to be a well-behaved boy!

Story
I'm taking ownership of a neighbor's dog as he is no longer able to care for her. She currently resides in Oakland, Ca, but I'll be keeping her at my house in Burlingame for the next two weeks. Her name is Jules and she is a very sweet blue-nose Pitbull. I would love to keep her longer, but unfortunately, I'm not able to at this time. She is 3 years old and about 40 lbs and is not spayed as her owner's intention was to breed her. Her current owner hasn't taken the best care of her so she is quite emaciated and you can see all her ribs and spine so she will need some special attention in foster before finding her forever home. She loves people and is good with children, but does get very excited around people and gets the extreme "wiggles" so being around small children may not be best. She barks initially at other dogs, but it's an excited bark not aggressive bark. She is house-trained and knows the commands; sit, stay and go to your bed. She is very treat motivated.

Story
Meet Lia, Instagram Diva in the Making... This stunning girl, approximately 2 years old, is a spayed 60 lb pittie/pointy eared blend. Lia is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and boasts a striking creamy-brindly coat, golden eyes and a radiant smile that is contagious! While Lia excelled with dogs in playgroups at the San José shelter, she's decided that "in the real world" she likes her kind from a distance, but not so much on leash close up, or in the home. PACC has learned that her easy-going and flexible nature is more reserved for her human friends. That said, Lia walks nicely on leash and generally cannot be bothered by passing dogs, big or small. Between us, she's got kind of a *diva* streak going on and is hoping her new human(s) will spend time helping to grow her Instagram following. It's not unreasonable given she pretty much cannot take a bad pic! Lia is a lover of strangers, and despite being an excellent deterrent at the door, truth be told, she's probably not going to protect your things, cause she can be instantly bought with treats and affection. She shows her love through enthusiastic tail whaps and one of the most wiggly butts we've come across. If you welcome her into your family, get ready for some tail-induced excitement and hold on to your drinks! PACC seeks an active household that appreciates large, strong, and lively dogs, particularly those who cherish company on the couch. If you prefer a dog-free furniture policy, Lia might not be the perfect fit, as she thrives when the entire family is on the couch, with her in the middle (where else would a diva sit?!) Kids in the home should be 10+ because little humans take a lot of time, dogs take time, and most families don't have time for both. Cats are not recommended.

Izzy is about 4 years old and a super sweet dog. I’ve had her since she was 8 weeks old. She is great with other dogs, cats, and people. However, she is very energetic and needs to be exercised often. I’ve struggled to do this over the years due to work and it’s unfair to her. I now have to relocate to Southern California in the next two weeks and I’d love to find her a great home.

Java is the CUTEST little staffy weighing in at 34 pounds of love - he is about two years old. This precious boy came to us from a very sad situation where he had lived chained up in a shed for a majority of his young life. Because of that, he is very timid and unsure of things in the world. He's most comfortable in his foster home. Java is fostered with other dogs and does fantastic. He is very cat like and loves nothing more than to snuggle up on the couch and sleep for hours. He is crate trained and does well in the house. His ideal home would be with someone who understands why dogs and will give him time to build trust and understand that he's more of a homebody.
