Story

I’ve cared for my dog since he was a newborn from a local breeder, and he is now a healthy, vibrant 5-year-old. I’m seeking a loving and experienced adopter who has the financial stability, time, and dedication to provide him with the attention and care he deserves. The ideal owner would have patience and a true passion for dogs. My dog is full of life—energetic, affectionate, and always eager to interact with his people. He’s friendly, loves companionship, and occasionally displays a silly, playful side that brings joy to those around him. If you’re looking for a loyal, spirited companion and have the time and resources to ensure his happiness, he could be the perfect addition to your home.

Hi ! Leo is an exceptional dog . He is real friendly and cute . He likes to sit and lean against you . He is very hyper in the morning and needs a quiet place to be . He goes into his kennel 6pm and sleeps to 6am . Preferably no children because he gets to excited 😊 and his energy goes up . Leo needs a calm and peaceful person that has patience with him . I'm hoping to find some one within 60 miles of Santa Clara 95050 . It will be much better .

Story

We are seeking a loving home for Frankie, our 3.5-year-old, 47-pound Australian Shepherd. This beautiful blue merle, an AKC-certified purebred, has been a cherished part of our family since he was 3 months old. Frankie is affectionate, playful, and energetic, thriving in active households where he can enjoy outdoor activities and attention. He is great with people, kids, dogs, and cats, and has never shown aggressive behaviors. Frankie is submissive, well-behaved, and follows commands like sit, come, shake, and down. He also loves keeping himself entertained with chewy toys. Frankie is fully up to date on all his vaccines, and I can provide complete vaccination records for review. Sadly, after relocating to California and taking on demanding jobs, we can no longer give him the time and exercise he deserves. Sweet, intelligent, and loyal, Frankie is ready to meet his new forever family. Come meet him today and see if he's the perfect addition to your home!

Marimar

Dachshund

Female, Young

Milpitas, CA

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Marimar is a beautiful shy but playful girl who I had the chance to foster her since I found her being given away in SoCal when I was traveling. She is about to be 2 years old this month and is looking forward to it. I am looking for a home that is willing to be patient and kind to her. She needs to go on her own pace and that means giving her the time to acclimate to her new environment and new people. I would describe Mari as a little shy and timid with new people but is very loyal to those she is comfortable with. She is a very light player, she knows how to play rough and will correct dogs who play too rough with her but she prefers to play with others in a softer way. Mari adores cuddles and hugs, especially if she is held like a baby. Marimar seems to have PTSD from the owner and may yelp if she is suddenly moved, grabbed, or harsh movements are made near her. Her trigger has lessened over time since I first had her in my care. However, this is something that must be considered.

Story

Meet Charlie! Charlie is a handsome, affectionate dog who’s sure to steal your heart! With his striking looks, you'll get compliments wherever you go. He’s a gentle, older guy who loves attention and still enjoys playing with toys, especially a good game of fetch in a big backyard. Charlie thrives on being the center of attention, so he’d be happiest as the only dog in the home. While he’ll tolerate children, his ideal home would not have small ones who might pull his hair or try to sit on him—he prefers a calmer environment where he can relax and enjoy his time with you. Charlie is reactive with other dogs, so he’s best as a solo pet. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion who will keep you smiling with his sweet personality and good looks, Charlie is the perfect match! He’s ready to shower you with all the love and joy he has to offer!
