Sequoia

Siberian Husky

Female, 4 yrs 11 mos

Berkeley, CA

Size

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

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Sequoia is super sweet, energetic, and quite unique, maybe even a little quirky. She’s very friendly and affectionate with people, and not reactive to dogs on walks. She loves belly rubs. Sequoia doesn’t seem to have a lot of leash-walking experience, and likes to keep tabs on her human by circling around you and nudging you along, which could be part of her herding dog instincts. She can be a little anxious and is not particularly interested in toys, preferring to be out and about and observing everything going on. She would likely do best in an active household where she can be engaged. She is housetrained. Sequoia is currently in a foster home. If you're interested in her, please email KSwanson@cityofberkeley.info. First, we'll set up a virtual meeting with their current foster family via phone, Zoom, or Facetime, to provide you with more detailed information. Then, if you feel that Sequoia might be a good adoption fit, shelter staff will gladly coordinate an up-close and personal meet and greet with your potential family member. Thank you for your support!

If you're interested in her, please email KSwanson@cityofberkeley.info First, we'll set up a virtual meeting with their current foster family via phone, Zoom, or Facetime, to provide you with more detailed information.

Story

Are you looking for someone to light up your life? Meet Beacon! She is a sweet and playful girl who also has a serious side. She would love to be your new best friend. She can be a tad reserved with strangers, but warms up in no time. Have we mentioned she’s also beautiful? You won’t meet a lovelier girl. Beacon enjoys pets and belly rubs, and also likes getting out for walks and sniffing around. She isn’t sure what to make of passing other dogs quite yet, but we think it’s mostly curiosity. It will be fun to train Beacon and watch her grow up.

Jambalaya

Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 2 yrs 4 mos

Berkeley, CA

Size

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

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

If Jambalaya is your comfort food, you need to meet this dog. He is a big hunk of a guy with a heart of gold. He can be shy with new people at first, often men, but he loves treats. After sharing a few with him, you will see his wiggly self emerge. Jambalaya is a volunteer favorite who is much easier to handle than his size would suggest. He can be a little nervous passing other dogs on leash, but if you just say his name, he will whip around and look for the treat (and ignore the dog). Jamba is one of the most human-oriented and responsive dogs we’ve ever met. And he is still a young guy learning the ropes. Jambalaya could not be sweeter. He will lean into you for pets, and his favorite thing (once he is comfortable with you) is to sit between your legs with his back to you for long, soothing pets. This boy is a real love bug, and appears to be very housetrained.
