My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I'm a sweet and sensitive girl who can't wait to bring years of loving canine joy into your home! I am at just the right age to enjoy getting exercise in the neighborhood or at the park, having fun with stuffies, and then relaxing with you in my favorite comfy spots in the house. Maybe I can curl up next to you while we catch the latest Netflix? Sounds great to me. Please know I do have a ongoing condition which requires straight-forward meds, and will thrive best in a mellow home (no young kids, please). Feel free to inquire for more information. With just a little extra TLC, I will blossom my affection and be your loving companion for now and always!

Additional adoption info

ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS

* Be 18 years of age or older.
* Have valid state-issued identification.
* Allowed to have a pet where you live. (To protect you and your pet, get your landlord's or HOA's permission in writing before you adopt).
* Willing and able to provide training, medical attention, and proper care for your new pet.

ADOPTION PROCESS

Berkeley Humane believes in an adoption process that carefully matches the lifestyle and expectations of adopters with the needs of each animal. This helps pets remain in their new homes for the rest of their lives.

Our staff will ask potential adopters about their lifestyle, household, and what they're looking for, in order to suggest appropriate pets or determine a specific animal's suitability.

All of our animals receive medical and behavior evaluations, vaccines, microchip, spay or neuter, felv/fit test for cats (at the discretion of the veterinarian), heartworm preventative, flea and tick preventative, and worm treatment.

Our adoption package also includes pre-adoption counseling, a take-home adoption packet, temporary collar, ID tag, temporary leash or carrier, free post-adoption resources and advice, $250 worth of medical care with VCA veterinary hospitals, a certificate for a free examination at a local veterinary hospital, and discounted pet insurance offer.
