Story
Cosmo is an energetic, curious, confident, smart, friendly, and goofy boy. We (3 adults) adopted him from a shelter in May 2024. Cosmo loves tug games, squeaky toys, belly rubs, and running around the yard. He walks pretty well on a leash, though is distracted by squirrels and dogs. He has had compatible dog playdates but tends to act like a pesky puppy and needs a playmate who can play vigorously with him. An unresolved behavior issue we have had is that when Cosmo gets overstimulated or doesn’t want to do something, he will sometimes challenge us by jumping and nipping at us. We sent him to a board & train program to help address this stubborn issue. The primary family member in charge of Cosmo is experiencing health issues that are preventing her from giving Cosmo the care and continued training he needs, so we do not feel able to continue to give him a good home. With an experienced owner and targeted training, Cosmo will thrive and be a beloved companion.

Story
Sun is a vibrant and loving 6-year-old dog looking for her forever home. Adopted as a puppy in Clarksville, Tennessee, she's traveled with us through big life changes - from Tennessee to Alabama, and now to Mountain View, California. Along the way, she's been a cherished part of our family, receiving plenty of love and care. Sun is sweet-natured, energetic, and thrives in the outdoors. She's always been excitable and full of life, making her a perfect companion for someone who enjoys spending time outside, whether on hikes, walks, or just relaxing in the yard. As much as we adore her, our growing family, including our 1-year-old daughter and plans for another baby, means that we can't give Sun the quieter, dedicated environment she deserves. She would do best in a calm home where she's the center of attention, with plenty of space and time to enjoy the outdoors.

Story
Kallie is incredibly smart and loving. Her absolute favorite thing to do is snuggle with you, she’d do it all day if you let her. She has been in a board and train so she knows a handful of commands and is super smart, this girl even knows how to open horizontal handle doors and sliding glass doors if left unlocked. She has been great with my toddler, but she has super strong nanny dog instincts and doesn’t like when my dad does things like rushes towards the toddler to stop her from doing toddler things. In general the toddler stresses Kallie out and is ultimately why we have to rehome her. Her trainer said that her personality would be better in a home with older kids or no kids if possible and we agree. She loves to just chill in the sun outside and equally enjoys playing fetch (she is fast af boi). We love Kallie so much and know that there is a home out there for her to thrive in, but unfortunately for our family that home in not with us.

Union City, CA
Size

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Midnight is a 7-month-old playful pup! He loves going on walks, playing fetch, and relaxing with his family. His favorite toys are empty Gatorade bottles. He is potty trained and sleeps through the night in a small gated area. He is loving and affectionate with children. Midnight's ideal owner lives an active lifestyle, taking Midnight on walks and jogs, and spending lots of quality time with him. His owner should be strong because Midnight weighs almost 50 pounds and likes to lead the way when he smells something interesting. He makes an excellent watchdog as he feels responsible for protecting his family. He can be slow to warm up at first due to his protective instincts but he has a huge heart and will quickly melt your heart with his sweet hugs and silly antics. He is also incredibly intelligent and has passed basic dog training. Does Midnight sound like your forever pet? If so, don't hesitate to contact us today!

San Mateo, CA

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Rocky is approximately 5 years old, and was adopted from a shelter 4 years ago. He's a very loving and well behaved dog, loves every person he meets, is great with kids, and very playful with other dogs. He loves to play tug, fetch, etc - but most of all he loves affection from humans. He's got a lot of energy, and would love a home in which he gets lots of exercise, ideally long walks and a big yard to run around in. The only issue for our family has been his energy, causing him not to get along with everyone in the house to the point where we unfortunately need to re-home.

Story
Casey is a sweet and loyal dog with forever puppy energy. She loves being outdoors and her very favorite activity is swimming. She will swim for hours. She also likes retrieving objects or trash from the ocean and bringing them ashore. She is great off leash on hiking trails and loves playing fetch at the park. She is friendly with other dogs but people are her true love. She absolutely loves people. And food or treats. She is sweet and patient with our 18-month old as the toddler explores her boundaries and pulls on her ears and tail or pats her a little too hard. She loves exercise but doesn't need it as much as when she was a puppy; if she is stuck indoors she just sleeps or rests. We got Casey on the East Coast when she was about 6 months old. We have loved having her in our family but don't have the capacity and resources to care for her as much as we did before we had a human baby.
