Story
Thank you for your interest in adopting a pet from Berkeley Animal Care Services. We are temporarily suspending adoptions during the state mandated Shelter In Place Order. Please check back at a later date with adoption inquiries. Meet Muffin — a confident, active girl, full of swagger, spunk, and sass. She loves to play tug and will eagerly demonstrate how to remove the squeaker from any toy you set in front of her. Agile and quick, she adores her walks and will go for miles, surveying the surroundings like she owns the neighborhood. Back at home, she’ll turn on the charm with solicitations for snuggles and belly rubs. Because Muffin can be a bit of a bossy-pants, we believe dogs slightly larger than her would make for her best canine matches. She can be a bit sensitive with her handling, so we’re recommending a home without children under 12.

Please check back at a later date with adoption inquiries. Squirrel is a total sweetheart who's full of boundless energy, kisses, and infinite snuggles. He loves to play fetch with squeaky toys and take long walks/hikes around the neighborhood. he has been very good with other dogs he meets and would love nothing more than to run around with puppy friends all day. He still needs to continue his leash manners since he gets so excited seeing new places and meeting new dogs. He's simply a sweet giant that has a lot of love to give!
