Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Charlie is a loving, energetic, and smart boy in need of a rehome. This rambunctious little man is a heart throb because of those eyes. But do not be fooled, he is a little wacky due to his breed mix. He loves to play with squeaky toys, loves to run and go for hikes. This boy has been in and out of the shelters in his short life and is in need of an experienced owner who is willing to put in the undivided attention and work this boy needs. I want him to stay far away from shelters, so that is why I am looking for a home for him he may be more comfortable in. He loves to sunbathe, so a home with a yard and sun would do him some good!

Story
I have been caring for this adorable American Bully who came straight to us from his abused home about 2 hours away. When he came to us, he had very little social skills, couldn't eat out of a bowl, and showed many physical signs of abuse. His face is just so adorable, and he needed a home with an abundance of love so we took him in. He has had all of his shots, but didn't qualify for a basic neutering because he has mild asthma & a mild heart murmor. It was too overwhelming at the time to get him neutered, so he is intact. Previous abuse and basic info we received in July 2019: he was used for breeding, was chained to the fence as a guard dog, and was raised in a crate. With us he has been trained to "just be a dog" but there are a few more things he needs training on. He has come a very long way in 6 months, but overall is not a good fit for our lifestyle. He is a big cuddler and will melt your heart!

Story
Theia is a energetic lab mix who loves to play! I got her when she was just 6 weeks old however, with a new little one, she just has too much energy for our little home. She loves to run around and play fetch. She LOVES kids and loves other dogs when she gets to know them. I am looking for a home that will allow her to run around as much as she can as we don't have a yard and it's hard for her to get out.

Roscoe

German Shorthaired Pointer Labrador Retriever

Male, Adult
Alameda, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Roscoe is sweet, loving, and very smart, and knows lots of commands. He loves walks, hikes, running/jogging, and swimming. He's also great alone in the house. He is very food motivated, which is good and bad, as he has been known to steal food off of the counter if we forget to put everything away. He is great on a leash, loves the car, and is crate-trained, but fine left out as well. His biggest issue is children. He shows signs of fear, and growls around all kids, including our own son. He bit our nephew (didn't injure him or draw blood, but bit him in the arm). We muzzle-trained him to keep our son safe, and he is completely fine wearing the muzzle. With the stress at home, Roscoe has become less friendly around other dogs. He is fine with passive dogs, but has issues with aggressive dogs. We're hoping that this new behavior is a result of the stress he shows around our son, and hopefully will fade in a new home without children.Roscoe is just a joy and a love-bug in so many ways.

Story
Myute is a big friendly German shepherd-husky pup seeking a family that`s going places! Places such as hiking trails, the beach, the park, your fenced back yard – any place Myute can run and play with you. You will fall in love with this guy`s gorgeous markings, majestic sweeping tail, and happy prance. Myute still has that innocent but sometimes overwhelming puppy energy, so he`d love a family that can help him refine his leash manners and how he greets new people and other dogs.
