Story
Howdy! My name is Augie, I am a 9 month old, neutered male, Pitbull mix that can grow to be around 60lbs as an adult. I am a friendly dude that starts off a bit shy and cautious. Because of this, I prefer adult-only households or ones with teens or older. Once I'm comfortable, my playful and energetic side comes out and I'll happily show off by running zoomies! I'm still young, so I'll need lots of guidance as I grow from puppyhood into adulthood. I can be a little unsure of new things, but with patience, reassurance, and a little time, I'll sure blossom into a wonderful, interactive companion. If I sound like the right fit, please have everyone in the family including any resident dogs come and meet me before taking me home with you. Augie ID#: A0991533 I've spent some time in foster care! Here's an update from my foster family: Augie is a sweet, affectionate and energetic pup who is learning how wonderful life in a loving home can be. Once he feels safe, his playful personality shines—he loves cuddles, head and ear massages, lounging beside his people, exploring outdoors, playing with dog friends and, of course, zoomies! Augie is smart and eager to learn. He knows several basic cues, is crate trained, walks nicely when calm, and is making great progress with house-training. He can be cautious in new situations and feels most secure when his trusted humans are nearby. Augie is still a young, strong puppy who needs continued training, structure and socialization. He can pull and lunge toward dogs and squirrels on walks, gets very excited and mouthy during play, and is an enthusiastic chewer. For these reasons, Augie would thrive in an experienced, adult-only home, ideally with a secure backyard and plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment. His adopters should be comfortable handling a strong dog and committed to positive behavior training. Augie has already come such a long way. He now understands the comfort of a home, regular meals, walks, cuddles and kindness—and, most importantly, he knows what it feels like to be loved. With patience and continued training, Augie has all the potential to become a wonderfully loyal and loving companion.  Unless 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.

Hi there! My name is Sonnet and I'm a 4-year-old, spayed, pit bull mix that weighs about 47lbs. I'm a total sweetheart with an inquisitive side. I love to sniff and investigate new places before saying hello to new friends. It's nothing personal; I just love to take in new information. Once I've had a chance to check out my surroundings, I will say hello and want to play. I LOVE FETCH! It is my absolute favorite game! Sometimes it's the only thing I can focus on so I'm hoping for a family that is prepared to continue my training and help me learn that there's more to life than just ball. I'm also still working on some social skills. I could be the perfect adventure buddy for someone that's looking for a sidekick. Before I officially join the family, I'd like a chance to meet the entire household including any resident dogs. I'm sure we'll all have so much fun!

Story
Hi everyone, I'm Ziggy! I'm a handsome 14 year old, neutered male Pit Bull Terrier and I weigh 44lbs. I'm a sweet boy that loves getting affection and cuddles. Don't let my age fool you though, I enjoy going on walks and can sometimes be a playful and silly guy, though at times I can be a bit wobbly and stairs might be a bit too tricky for me. I'm young at heart, but not so young in my bones! If you're looking for a sweet and gentle lad to fill your life with all the love and affection, look no further! Before officially going home with you, I would love to meet everyone in the household, including any resident dogs, so come on over and bring everyone! I'm so excited and ready to meet you all! Ziggy #A0941035 I recently went on a field trip with a PHS Volunteer! Here's how I did: Ziggy was an absolute gem to take on an outing. He loves going for walks. I took him to my car and he eagerly hopped in the backseat (although he needed a boost) and after some initial excitement whining, he quieted down and enjoyed the ride.  He was very well behaved in the car; staying in the backseat without being secured.  When getting out of the car, he does need a little assistance jumping down from the backseat. He enjoyed a leisurely walk on the Facebook promenade, stopping to relax in the shade, rolling on his back, itching some hard-to-reach places.  He was very good with joggers and bicyclists passing by - only looking on with curiosity.  When we returned to my car, he was thirsty, and drank a full bottle of water that I poured into a plastic dog bowl.  Afterwards, he happily jumped into my car (again needing a boost) and quietly enjoyed the ride back to the adoption center. He is a lovely gentleman who is sweet and appreciative!  He really likes chicken too:)Unless 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.

Story
Hello! My name is Acorn. I am a 2 year old, spayed, pit bull mix that currently weighs about 57 lbs. I am a sweet and affectionate gal that starts off shy at first, but once I get to know you, my friendly personality comes out. I'm quite the cuddle bug that will roll over to get good belly rubs! I will happily soak up all the attention you have to give and you'll see just how loving I can be. I am always happy to meet new friends but enjoy being around people more than I do with other canine buddies. My best doggy pals have been boy dogs around my size with chill vibes. If I sound like the girl for you, come on over and ask for me. Before going home, I would love to meet everyone in the household, including any resident dogs, so bring everyone when you come and meet me. ID# A0992540 I recently went on a hike with a PHS Volunteer! Here's how I did: I had the pleasure of taking Acorn on the hike today. She is such a sweet and gentle girl. She was super easy to gear - literally sat there giving me kisses while we got ready to go. She wasn’t very sure of how to get in my car so I had to help her out by giving her a lift. Acorn was very calm in the backseat - even when we were next to a car with a dog that was barking at her. On the hike, she was a great walker. She is very easy to walk She enjoys taking her time to sniff and is curious about her surroundings. She was great with the other dogs and the walkers and bikes that passed. She also enjoyed the beach time, particularly the feeling of cool sand on her paws. Very sweet and gentle soul.Unless 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.

Story
Hello there, I am Miklo, a 2-year-old, large-sized, neutered male, Pit Bull mix who weighs about 62lbs. I'm the sweetest lap dog you'll ever meet. I love being with my doggy and people friends and I'm the life of the party! I'm a sweet, curious and rather rambunctious young fellow but I tend to forget that I’m technically a big dog. Sometimes, the world can be pretty scarry and I need someone to hold my hand. Other times, I’m super excited and jump for joy, which might be tough trying to catch a beefcake like me. No matter what, I’m full of love and excitement. I’m looking for a loving family with large dog experience, who will help me work on my manners and doggy socialization skills. I have a big heart, and an even bigger smile! If you would like to meet my handsome self, please stop on by with the whole family including any resident dogs. For more information about me, just ask Customer Service about me! Miklo ID# A0974830 I recently went on a hike with a PHS Volunteer! Here's how I did: I took Miklo on the hike today - he did great! He walked happily to my car and jumped right in! He sat calmly in the backseat the entire way to Coyote Point. Once there, he was excited to get the hike started. He showed friendly interest in the other dogs and wanted to play. He also enjoyed seeing his PHS staff friends and getting treats and affection. He was pretty easy to walk on the trail. He looked for reassurance frequently and was very well behaved. He didn’t pull and was not reactive to the other dogs, bikes, runners, walkers, etc. He got a little impatient during the breaks because he was excited to keep walking. He enjoyed being close to the other shelter pups. Miklo did not show interest in water but enjoyed taking in the sights on the beach. He was a perfect gentleman on the way back to the shelter - laid down on the blanket in my backseat. Super easy to return to his dorm where I gave him some treats and cuddles. Such a loveable guy!

Story
Hi there! My name is Bobby and I'm a 2-year-old, neutered male, Pit Bull mix. I'm a hunk of a dog, I weigh 86 lbs. I'm a rambunctious love bug that enjoys spending time with my people. I'm a big, strong boy, so I'm hoping for a family that understands bully boys like me and is prepared to give me plenty of love, exercise, and training. Since I'm so big and strong, I prefer households that are adult only or with children that are 10 or older. I've been fairly polite when meeting dogs, but I'd like a chance to meet the entire household including any resident dogs before I officially join your family. If you're looking to add more pit bull love tumbles and bear hugs to your home, just ask Customer Service about Bobby! Bobby ID# A0965695 I went on a field trip with a PHS Volunteer! Here's how I did: I picked up Bobby this morning for a day of adventure. He greeted me happily in his dorm. When we headed out he stalled by the staff elevator - I think he wanted to go to the office for his internship, with some encouragement I got him into my car. We took the scenic route to my house and he enjoyed the sights and smells along the way - big smile on his face the entire ride. Once at my house, we went for a long walk around the neighborhood. Bobby really enjoyed sniffing and picking up all the new scents. He was pretty easy to walk though there were moments where he stalled and needed reassurance that it’s safe to keep moving. We passed several houses with barking dogs and Bobby passed without reaction. Once we got to my house, he loved being out on the deck and enjoyed some zoomies to get the energy out. He stayed close to me most of the time and enjoyed affection. At times he was an extra large lap dog! He was great about doing his business outside.   I recently spent some time in the office and here's how it went! Bobby was a very polite and helpful PHS/SPCA office intern last week. Although he often slept on the job, he welcomed staff passing by with a big tail wag, quietly played with toys, and didn’t even pay attention to the other furry intern hanging out in the hallway. At lunch time he didn’t beg or jump up on the desk to steal my food. He would also take very quick and efficient bathroom breaks outside because he was so excited to get back to his office tasks inside. Even though his good looks were a bit distracting, he was a pawfect intern and who ever decides to hire him will be very lucky!    Unless 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.
