Story
Scotty is a very sweet, loving, calm basset hound. He was abandoned by his owner in Asia as they discovered that he has some deformity in his front legs. His joint buckles as he walks but that doens't slow him down in anyway. He's able to walk, run, and go up/down the stairs just fine! He walks well on leash. Loves to eat and he does well with other dogs and loves people. SF Bay Area adoption only.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Six-year-old Mosho is a friendly, happy boy.  He arrived with his pal, Cleo, but they can be adopted separately. They came from a home with children. Because Mosho tends to jump on people, which could frighten, or knock over a very young child, Mosho is recommended for older children, or adults. Mosho is an adept and determined counter-surfer, which his foster home is working on!  Mosho gets along well with other dogs of his size, or larger. He does not seem to like small dogs and can get stressed in situations with too many dogs, such as a busy dog park. He walks nicely on a leash and is a great car traveler. He is not good with cats, chickens or other small animals. Mosho is potty-trained, but has had some difficulty learning to use the doggie door in his foster home.  He is said to be crate trained, although he is allowed to sleep on dog beds, or on the furniture in his foster home.  Mosho would be great with older kids or an older couple.  He would be fine in a home with a doggie playmate of his size, or larger, or as an only dog.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 19, 2026, 11:22 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Gus' foster parent has this to say about Gus: Gus is a fun loving 3 ½ year old male basset who has been in my home since April 2025, when his owner of only 6-8 months had to surrender him as she had a terminal illness. He had some challenges that I have been working on with him. He had severe resource guarding issues but is 95% better today. He is fed in a separate area then his basset sister and left alone while eating. He will growl periodically if he thinks that there is food in a bowl that his sister or the cat walks by so thus why the bowls are picked up promptly after feedings and put away till the next feeding. He is not particularly fond of men and does growl at them when he sees them. (workers on the ranch/vet’s office) As I am single and do not have men in my home, I can not work with him on this insecurity. I have exposed him to other people and dogs when he goes out on walks and he does ok. He has been boarded on a few different occasions when I am out of the area or for a doggy daycare day and does well, although he does initially growl at any male staff. Gus loves to do zoomies up and down the hallway and play with his cat friend Stanley and his 2 canine sisters, Presley and Kitchi. He does bark at traffic on the ranch and the cows across the street. I feel he would be best in a home with another canine sister that is easy going and matches his medium energy and either with just a single woman or a couple that is willing to work with him to get him acclimated to men. Overall, Gus is a love and with the right family and continued socialization, will thrive. He can be stubborn, as most bassets are known for, but that is what I love about my bassets, as I also am stubborn so understand the mentality.
