Story
Her name is Jenna, she is 3 years old. She's very hyper and loves attention and loves to play more than anything. She is definitely a dogs only household pet. She is a bit of an escape artist. She has been very difficult to train. She unfortunately suffers from separation anxiety and needs a lot of attention and traning. Jenna is the sweetest dog in the world but is very much a handful. It breaks my heart to have to re-home her but unfortunately the home owner brought in cats so she has to find another home so the house doesn't become a toxic environment for her.

Story
Diesel is a good dog who needs a second chance & we are not able to give it to him. He has a happy disposition & a lot of energy. He is very smart. He can sit lay down & shake happily with my 12 year old daughter. He is a great protector and wont let a single skunk or intruder in our yard. He is 14 months old & roughly 60 pounds. Diesel has dog aggression & he is a dominant dog, my boyfriend is able to manage him fine, but my girls and I have issues. He is always trying to dominate us & we are unable to walk him or be social with him because of it. Diesel has bitten me twice, he redirected when he could not get to another dog, he bit my oldest daughter once on the hand & my younger daughter twice. He only shows this behavior when he is on a leash or in a public park. Diesel is not aggressive in our daily lives. I believe his best home would be with a single male figure who has the time to train him with his dog aggression & who won't allow diesel to dominate him.

Ethan

Australian Cattle Dog German Shepherd Dog

Male, Young
San Lorenzo, CA
Size

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Ethan is a nearly 2-year-old, energetic pup who loves playtime, toys, and his rubber bowling pin toy during the day and cuddle time in the evening. My husband and I adopted him from the SF SPCA at 4 months old. We have enjoyed every moment with him and truly love him as a family member. He has a big personality and shows us love in order of magnitude. Ethan, unfortunately, cannot be around babies, toddlers, or other small children, as he has a biting history. We have tried training him to be safe around babies, but with our own first child on the way (arriving in early May) we have realized, though extremely heartbreaking, we can't take the risk of Ethan around a newborn given that we will be sleep-deprived new parents. Ethan, however, LOVES adults and has a warm, vibrant, and happy personality. He is extremely loyal, fun, and super cuddly. He just doesn't have a liking for kids. We hope to find a new child-free family who can cherish and enjoy him like we have.

Story
I got my pet from a friend, She's born August 28, 2011. She was named after an Alaskan Indian name meaning "spirit of dog" or wolf. Her name is Anni for short because her birthday was mine's and last husband's Anniversary. She is a happy dog, she loves the backyard, park. and walks. I just want a family who will take care of her as their own family.
