Story
Hello! I’m CC! I'm a cute boy roughly 4-year-old who is curious of the world. I love people very much and whenever I walk down the street, there are always people who want to play with me. I am scared of other dogs so I would bark at them and ran away. I never played with small kids before, but maybe someone can give me a chance. James is super busy and he keeps feeling sorry for not keeping me company and I always feel bored. I hope someone with experience can give me a forever home and more attention. I am ready for the new life. I’m neutered, up to date on everything! I hope you ask about me!!! Key facts: - Good w/ people - Like to bark - Like to play w/ toys

Mila is a 2yo AKC certified rottie. She's super sweet and loving but she doesn't recognize her own size, so could benefit from obedience training. I just want her to go to a good home that can care for her the way she deserves. Rehoming fee applies.

KAZHEM

Akita

Male, 6 yrs 5 mos
Alameda, CA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Kazhem is a very handsome, somewhat shy Akita mix who warms up slowly to new people. But once he is comfortable he will share his goofy personality with you, running zoomies in the grass and showing off his great smile and happy tail wag.He gets along great with other dogs on the beach, the trails and probably in the dog park, but would prefer to be the only doggo in his forever home. Once Kazhem bonds with you he`s very devoted and wants to be with you all the time. Retirees, professionals who work at home, and anyone else who could make him a part of their daily life would be his dream family!

Story
Cannoli is looking for a forever family to love her, worrywarts and all. This sweet chonkhead is on the nervous side, so she likes taking her time getting used to new people and situations. Once familiar with you, though, she relaxes and becomes very affectionate and playful. * Sweet and loyal * No kids * Well-mannered dogs okay * Likes settling into new environments slowly Cannoli has been hoping for a home for such a long time, we're really hoping someone will take a chance on this good girl so she can finally breathe a sweet sigh of relief. Did you know FAAS reimburses up to $200 in canine behavior classes with every dog adoption? You can help Cannoli settle her nerves by taking her to puppy charm school. Cannoli is waiting to meet you at 1590 Fortmann Way in Alameda, California, any afternoon but Monday!

Story
Redvine has been waiting so very long for a home. He could be just the right dog for you! Part of what makes him so special is his puppylike energy, despite being 5 years old. His wiggle butt alone could clear a coffee table! (That's why we advise against kids under 10.) But if you have older kids, or have been wishing for a furry friend to run, hike, swim, or just snuggle with? He's perfect! * 57 lbs * 5 years old * Sweet and outgoing * Playful * Smart * Crate trained and housebroken * Versatile (couch potato or workout buddy) * Great with people and other dogs in public * Chews on toys, not your belongings * Easily adapts to new environments * Kids older than 12 * Too rough for small pets Meet Redvine any afternoon but Monday at 1590 Fortmann Way in Alameda, California!
