Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Petey is looking for an agent as he is about to star in your life. Easy to love and anxious to learn, this fun little guy is a quick study and a blast to work with.Petey loves people of the grown-up variety. His resume suggests he's not a fan of kids (an adoption counselor can tell you more about that), so if you're auditioning for that special dog for your child to bond with, Petey asks that you say, "Thank you. Next!" BUT if you're looking for a clever and loving guy to be your new bestie he'd love for you to stop what you're doing and give him a chance!Despite his outgoing appearance, Petey can be a bit shy about new things and noises. But you can encourage him and he'll come around. He's trusting of his grown-up companions and does well with routine. Petey has spent his shelter-in-place time in a great foster home where he is super polite, crates at night, is house trained and knows sit, down, touch, pick-up and spin. He loves searching for hidden treats, interactive food toys, bully sticks, chicken, flirt pole, playing tug, fetch and is learning drop and get it. WOW! He's a multi-talent. When we all get to be together again in school, Petey would enjoy nose work classes. So say hello to Petey. He's ready for his close-up...with you.Petey is enjoying himself in a foster home. Please call 415-506-6225 if you'd like to meet him. Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: White Weight: 15 Age: 2yrs 0mths 0wks

Story

Ernie is a nice young dog who will make some lucky family a wonderful companion. He's not showing his true colors at the moment, because he's learning about life after having grown up in a hoarding situation with a lot of small dogs. Ernie is tolerant and social and might be a nice addition to a family with polite kids. In time, he'll start playing with toys, enjoying long walks and outings, and begin seeking the cuddling and attention that he so deserves!Ernie is enjoying himself in a foster home.

Toby

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Male, Adult

Novato, CA

Size

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

Details

Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Toby is a special little dog. He makes his way around despite being mostly blind. He is active from morning to night and crashes out in his bed/crate. While at San Quentin Toby met a few dogs and seems to be ok with meeting dogs carefully on leash. Toby's handler got very attached to this little guy as anyone would after spending time with Toby. Toby's little prance and tilted head will make anyone melt. Toby is one of a kind and deserves a special forever home. Toby can live with another dog that can manage his antics, he likes to race around full tilt, sometimes knocking into other dogs - any other dogs in his home will need to be tolerant and up to handling those antics. Toby has displayed a joy for barking, the wind, shadows & noises are just some of the things Toby likes to bark for. He will do best with a family that can manage his environment and is willing to crate him at times during the day to make sure he calms down and takes a break from monitoring the goings on in the neighborhood. Toby s enjoying himself in a foster home. Please call 415-506-6225 if you'd like to meet him. Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: White Weight: 14 Age: 7yrs 4mths 3wks

Willow

Chihuahua

Female, Adult

Novato, CA

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Willow is part of a group of dogs that came to us from Kings County Animal Services. These dogs were rescued from a hoarding situation. As a result, Willow is under-socialized and somewhat "shut down" meaning she doesn't offer the kinds of behaviors that more fortunate dogs show us. Despite that, Willow relies on people for comfort and is very cuddly. She only wants to be held and petted, which is a lovely way to start a relationship. Willow will need extra time to adjust to a more stable environment. Patience and love are the key. Willow is having trouble getting interested in and eating food. A consult prior to adoption is required to discuss how to help her modify her eating behavior and to offer her new family techniques for introducing Willow to a more normal routine.Historically, dogs who start out life as Willow has can come a long way. Willow might never be a happy go lucky girl, but if what we're seeing is any indication she will always be full of love. If you're up for a social challenge, but appreciate a loving companion, come say hello to Willow. She'll be happy to hang out with you.Willow is enjoying herself in a foster home. Please call 415-506-6225 if you'd like to meet her. Primary Color: Tan Weight: 6.6 Age: 2yrs 0mths 3wks

Cody

Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Male, Young

Novato, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet young master Cody! We know quite a few things about Cody. He is crate trained and often spent up to 3 hours a day in a crate in one of his previous homes. He has also lived with cats, he will join the chase if they run and would likely do best with a dog savvy cat. Cody also lived with another polite dog in one of his previous homes. We have been told that Cody does not do well when left alone and not in a crate - he's still pretty young and will likely develop the skill to behave when left alone as he matures. Cody is looking for an active home that can take him on daily hikes, join him in weekly training classes and will give him a nice comfy dog bed in their bedroom for him to spend the night. Like many dogs, Cody will alert at strange noises, so apartment life may require an adjustment period. Cody also has some special needs with regard to his diet. Our adoption counselors will be able to tell you all about that, he will need a family that can work within his needs and limit access to treats and food that are not good for him.Cody is enjoying himself in a foster home. Please call 415-506-6225 if you'd like to meet him. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Tan Points Weight: 54 Age: 1yrs 1mths 2wks
