Story
I rescued Dash in October of 2016 from a local rescue organization when he was 4 months old. His birthday is May 31st, 2016 (turning 4 this year). He is about 12 lbs. Dash is great with people he knows (me, my mom, my roommate, guests who come over often, etc) but he is more timid with strangers and needs a lot of time to warm up. With ones he feels comfortable with though, he is a ball full of energy and love. He absolutely loves to cuddle on the couch and in bed, loves being held and will rarely ask for you to put him down. He has gotten better with walks, as the outside world used to be pretty scary to him. He still frightens easily when it comes to loud noises or sudden movements. He is great in the car and is crate trained. The reason I want to find him a new home is because of his behavioral issues, the main one being he's not 100% housebroken. I don't have enough time to commit to him and his needs and want to find a home that can provide more training & time.

Story
Luther is a very loving dog, he is relaxed at home and really likes to lounge on the couch or foot of the bed. He is crate trained and doesn't mind being left in a crate during the day, as long as he gets as walk right when you get back home! He can get a bit aggressive toward other animals, so would fit best in a home with no other pets. Luther doesn't really like to play with toys much, but is responsive to training with treats, and knows a few tricks.

Leo

German Shepherd Dog Golden Retriever

Male, Adult
Mountain View, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Leo is a super-smart bundle of curiosity and love. Favorite activities include catch, playing tug, rolling in the grass, learning new tricks, and playing with his dog buddies. This pup already knows tons of commands and hand signals, including shake, go to bed, watch me, roll over, and high five. He is super smart, but nervous. This guy needs regular exercise, after which he will happily relax under the table while you work. He likes hiking, and the beach is his happiest place of all. Car trips make him nervous, though the destination often seems worth it. He loves to check in with you on adventures - he's great off leash. He needs a confident, experienced owner who can help HIM feel confident and safe on leash. Most of all, this low-rider loves to learn, play, and eat. He loves people once he knows them; he's not one to fall in love with strangers. Older kids are best for him, and he enjoys the company of older, confident dogs (not puppies).

Milo

Husky

Male, Adult
Mountain View, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Milo is sweet, energetic, and rowdy; loves people, especially women; enjoys walking, playing, being pet/brushed, and toys. Without enough attention, Milo may get into or destroy things. He is well behaved after daily exercise. Milo is crate trained and can be crated before exercise. Milo was adopted from the Humane Society of Silicon Valley May 2019 after 4 months. In 2018, the past owner didn't exercise Milo enough, left him in yard, and he eventually began escaping, harmed a cat, and later killed a bobcat before he was surrendered to HSSV. Milo got lots of love/attention from the staff at HSSV. Sadly, he also grew sensitive/reactive to other dogs in the shelter. I walk Milo 4+ miles daily, never allow him off leash, and keep distance from other dogs and Milo is doing much better. Milo has played with only 1 dog (Malamute mix) twice and was rowdy. The behaviorists with HSSV recommended he not live with other animals. Milo is much improved, yet I am unable to give him enough time.

Story
This 35lb, 2 year old low-rider loves to play w/his people & dog friends. He is looking for an experienced dog owner that can handle when he gets a bit scared of people or other dogs, especially on leash. Favorite activities include catch, playing tug, rolling in the grass, hanging outside, learning new tricks, and playing with his dog buddies. This smart pup already knows tons of commands and hand signals, including shake, go to bed, watch me, roll over, and high five. This guy needs daily exercise, after which he will happily relax with you. He likes hiking, and the beach is his happiest place of all. Car trips make him nervous, though the destination often seems worth it. He loves to check in with you on adventures - he's great off leash (and away from cars). Most of all, this low-rider loves to learn, play, and eat. He loves people once he knows them; he's not one to fall in love with strangers. Older kids are best for him, and he enjoys the company of confident dogs.

Story
Our senior dogs name is Puppie. He is around 16 years old. We have two other dogs that are just too big for him to be around. We have tried to separate him but it's not it's fair to Puppie to isolate him. He is mostly blind, has little to no teeth so he only eats soft dog food. He is the sweetest, most loving little thing and just could be held all day. We found him on the street about 6 years ago and just want to give him a better life with more attention that he needs and loves. He can be left alone and is fine during the day. We has a gate area we would give whoever wants him that we usually lines with puppy pads, bed (and warming mat), food and water. Let me know please if you could give this little guy a loving life with lots of cuddles. He will just fall asleep in your arms in seconds. Thank you.
