Female, 7 yrs

Richmond, CA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

CiCi is a character. She would be best in a quiet home where someone can devote a lot of time to her. She can be a bit nervous sometimes, as most small dogs are. She is good with cats, but if they run - she will chase them. And she plays rough and if the cat does not, they may not appreciate her. She is good with dogs, but also plays rough. She is not fully potty trained but does use pee pads. She sleeps in crate. She enjoys her leashed walks and car rides. She seems to only really want wet food, but since she is small she doesn't eat a lot.

Story

Luna is a three year old American Staffordshire Terrier mix. I adopted her in April on the day she was supposed to be euthanized. She is great with kids & is good with other dogs if they are not small & she is not on a leash when meeting them. Strong prey drive, not good with small animals. Since living with me, she has been potty-trained & crate trained & has been working on sit. She knows Off. Luna is very sweet & a total cuddle bug. She becomes very excited when she knows she's going out & will leap around, including on you. She becomes upset if anyone leaves the room & comes back, she starts barking & growling. She has some leash reactivity & could benefit from a training program.

Fred

Chihuahua Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Good with kids, Good with dogs,

Story

After finding Fred astray at my husband’s shop, we decided to bring him into our home where he has lived for the last 3 years. He is best buds with our senior dog, Bird. It is unfortunate that we need to separate them, but with an infant child, another small child, and our senior dog requiring more of our assistance we have made the decision to rehome Fred to another loving home. Fred is smart and the true definition of a lap dog! He takes a few minutes to warm up and will certainly bark at strangers, but that hesitation fades away and he soon makes a home on our guests’ laps! He has always been great with our children and has never shown any signs of aggression towards them. Fred does have slight food aggression, but it has never amounted to more than growling. In fact, both of our dogs presently share bowls without a problem. We hope you take an interest in Fred and can provide him with the loving home he deserves! Thank you.

Story

We got Dim Sum at the San Jose Animal shelter almost two years ago. She is great in the car, lives with two cats that protect her and she doesn’t lick but loves people. Dim Sum is friendly with everyone! She either has no fear or she’s like how bad can they be. The shelter pulled all her teeth hence why her tongue hangs out. She’s got arthritis which I give her CBD drops for and she acts like a puppy now with a cowboy walk. The reason I have to find her a new home is my son. He is severely autistic and within the last 7 months grown increasingly violent towards himself, me, The house and recently he has chased after Dim Sum on several occasions . She has been able to hide but him being 6’5, I can only hold him back for so long He has broke my arm with ease, put his hand thru glass so I don’t want to imagine what he would do while angry to her. He has no control during these episodes. He loves her and I have tried to keep us together but it’s not safe for her.
