Story
Through no fault of her own, Samantha has been in our shelter for more than a year after being found as a stray. She is nothing if not resilient, living in a kennel week after week, month after month, and we are honored to care for her. But she needs a home. Take a close look at this deserving little pittie. Perhaps you'll see what we do: the best smiling face, the happiest attitude, the bubbliest personality. Can you imagine waking up to this pure doggie joy every day? She's a smiler who seems to revel in life, a dog who sees the glass as half full. The word wigglebutt was invented for Samantha. She's been in a shelter for so long, she has been quite nervous in a couple of her foster homes, barking at noises and people she doesn't know. But she settles down with patience. Samantha's reactivity toward other animals has improved, but she should be your only pet until she receives further training to leave cats and small dogs alone. * 2 years, 4 months old * small for her breed * easy to walk * lots of fun * loves people * Good with kids * should be only fur child Apply on our website, and call (510) 337-8565 to make an appointment. If she is not in a foster home, you may meet Samantha any afternoon except Monday at 1590 Fortmann Way in Alameda, California. Her adoption fee has already been paid for by an admirer, so you owe nothing!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Who is sweet and friendly and built like a big beautiful brick house? Tankita! She might wear plus-size collars, but no other pup could be gentler. Tankita was picked up as a stray. It was pretty clear she had been used by someone to produce multiple litters of puppies, and when she became too old and too much trouble to care for, they dumped her. This great girl needs a forever home that will treat her like the family member she deserves to be. * Loves people * Goofy and playful after some initial shyness * Older kids due to her size * Needs patient household where she can build confidence * Fine with dogs in public but probably needs to be only pet Tankita is a love boat looking for a safe harbor. Come take her for a get-to-know-you walk any afternoon but Monday at 1590 Fortmann Way in Alameda, California, and take home a wonderful new family member.

Story
Who hasn't dreamed of an endless summer? Of days filled with walks on the beach, drowsing on a blanket in the park... If you can relate, you and Summer are on the same wavelength! She can make all your days bright and sunny like your favorite season if you become her forever family. Summer likes nibbling toys and rolling in the grass. She's very affectionate, pretty easy to walk and does okay around other dogs in public. However, she probably wants to be your only furbaby at home. (More info to come as we do more "dog testing"!) Here's what Summer's foster mom had to say: * Very sweet! Leans in for scratches. * LOVES balls. She’s great at running during a game of fetch, but hasn’t learned to give the ball back. She’d prefer to chew on it! * Like so many salon-fearful pets, she's not crazy about having her paws touched. You'll get a polite little warning snap. Come meet Summer at 1590 Fortmann Way in Alameda any day but Monday from noon to 4PM, and always have blue skies with this silly girl by your side.

Machu Picchu arrived as a stray with a young dog that was probably her brother, whom we named Cusco. More outgoing than his sister, Cusco has already been adopted. Shy-but-sweet Machu is waiting for her happily-ever-after. She will make a great companion for the right family! * 9 months old * 39.4 lbs. * Slowly warms up to new people and other animals * Sensitive and cautious * Smart * No kids * Easy to walk * Awesome Spock ears Machu warns off rowdy dogs by showing teeth but has not been aggressive toward people and does not guard her food or toys. We think that once in the bosom of a loving family, she will probably mature into a confident pup.

Hi I'm Hansel! Are you ready for an epic storybook adventure? I'm your man! I'm always looking for new things to try. I do need a little extra training and patience to work on my manners, but that's because I'm so full of energy and love! Because of this I should be in a home with older kids and am recommended to be the only big furry friend in the home. If you're ready to go on an exciting quest with lots of love, I'm your man!

Meet Bella, a beautiful brown coated dog with a heart full of potential! Though she may be slow to trust, once Bella bonds with you, she will be your most loyal companion. Bella needs a patient and understanding home without young children, where she can feel safe and secure. She might do well with a polite doggie friend, but homes with cats or other small pets are not a good fit due to her reported prey drive. With love, patience, and the right environment, Bella is sure to blossom into a wonderful and loving member of your family. Primary Color: Chocolate Weight: 58.2 Age: 2yrs 0mths 3wks

Story
I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereThis Dog is Available By Appointment Only Awww, Patti Smith makes our hearts melt. This cutie was frightened when she was found wandering in Oakland but seemed to want to be near people even if she was not so sure about them. With some patience and care, Patti Smith has come out of her shell in her foster home! She is a joy to be around. Her foster family reports that Patti enjoys long naps on the most comfortable surface she can find, has great leash manners (although sometimes there's a squirrel that she just can't resist), and is fully house trained. She has been left alone for up to five hours at a time and peacefully napped the whole time. She also enjoys car rides as long as there's a place for her to curl up and nap. You'll notice a theme here - sleeping is high on Patti's list of favorite activities! One of the cutest things she does is when she's given a new bone - she grunts and struts around the house to show it off before settling down to enjoy it. And when she's feeling herself, she'll roll around on the grass for fun. She is a sweet and mellow companion once she makes friends with people. Patti Smith has shown some nervousness around people she does not know trying to pet her, and will be best in a quiet home. She's about 90 pounds and would blossom even more in a warm, loving furever home (with comfy places to nap)!

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereMeet Sonja, the ultimate couch companion and snuggler. Though she loves lounging around the house, she also makes a great plus-one for all of your social outings. Sonja is a lively girl and is quick to tippy-tap her toes when she's excited, especially about her favorite foods like cream cheese, peanut butter or tuna. She is a great dance partner, and when it comes to dinner time or treating, she will impress you with her lady-like "sit" command. She can't resist soaking up the sun, and may even try to trick you into letting her out for a sunbathing session. Sonja is a very social and friendly dog who loves being surrounded by humans. She is well trained, housetrained, and is perfectly comfortable in a crate. She knows basic commands such as "sit," "down," and "stay." and is a polite and well-behaved house guest. She prefers to sleep on a bed with her humans, but is also content in a crate. She has met a wide variety of people of all ages and has done well with everyone. She would do best in a home with a well-fenced, sunny yard as she can get a little worked up around other animals. Ideal for Sonja to be an only pet in the home. She is well-behaved on a leash and enjoys shorter hikes, but tuckers out around 2 miles. Sonja is about 7 years old and 55 pounds. She is in a foster home, and you can reach out at sonja@jeffvier.com or see more of her (and message her) @sonjadog_oas on Instagram!

Story
I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereGet ready to indulge in the most delectable delight of them all – Cheesecake! This sweet pup is the life of the party, and once she's off leash in the yard, she's off like a sprinter at the starting line, ready to have a blast. She craves attention and pets, making her the star of any gathering. But she also comes when called, with so much enthusiasm! Cheesecake's sweetness doesn't stop there. She's the belly rub connoisseur, rolling over for a little dose of love and affection. She takes treats with grace and is an expert at "sit" and "down." Cheesecake does have a little secret – she's sensitive about her head, so a gentle approach is key. And she has a unique little head tilt, likely a memento from a past adventure or injury, possibly. We don't know her past but we know nothing can keep this sweetheart down – she's as happy as can be, ready for all the fun life has to offer. And when it comes to building her confidence, positive reinforcement obedience training is the name of the game.  Cheesecake is all about toys and, of course, soaking up that precious human attention. She's the ultimate 4 year old party animal! As for her canine companions, Cheesecake met a few at the shelter, but she's mostly looking for some one-on-one attention with her forever family. She was mostly uncomfortable meeting other dogs at the shelter and that's OK! We know the shelter can be stressful. So for now, we recommend that she be the only dog in the home. If you're ready to bring a slice of sweetness into your life and share it with Cheesecake, you're in for a treat like no other.
