This is my baby Barbie. She’s a year and a half old. I’m currently moving and unfortunately I cannot bring her with me . It’s truly breaking my heart. She’s a sweet beautiful smart baby. But can be quite a barker around the unknown. She understands both Spanish and English and is also crate and potty trained.

Story
Long-Haired Chihuahua Mix Age: 3-5 years Male, neutered 11 lbs Adoption Fee: $125 (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations) PLEASE NOTE: We do not adopt any of our dogs out to families with children under the age of 13. Here is what Bodhi’s foster family has to say about him: “Meet our foster dog, Bodhi. He's a Heinz 57 of dogs, a little bit of everything. Bodhi is a character, and can be a little quirky. It took him a week before he wanted to have anything to do with us. After that week, he came out of his shell. He is a loving dog, that would be great in a home with 1-2 adults, no children. He would do great being the only dog. He can be a lap guarder, and he does not like to share said lap with other dogs. Bodhi is great on leash walks, and he is getting used to hanging out in the yard while I garden. When we started bringing him outside, he would do his business and then go back inside. Now, he is learning to hang out outside and relax. When Bodhi gets excited, he becomes a bit of mouthy player. (He does not bite down.) Just to add some observations from Bodhi’s previous foster home - he is pretty much a “one person” or “one family” dog. He is not too keen on interacting with strangers (visitors to your home or out in public). Potential adopters should be prepared to give Bodhi time to adjust to a new environment and new owners. He will likely take at least a couple weeks to trust and feel comfortable. It won't happen overnight. For more information about Bodhi, contact nobodysperfektdogs@gmail.com

Story
Chihuahuas Age: 4 yrs / 1 yr Females, spayed 9 / 7 lbs Adoption Fee: $125 (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations) Kanga and Roo came to us from the San Mateo SPCA. Kanga wasn’t at risk, and would have been available for adoption at the shelter. However, her surviving puppy (the other one died at the shelter), Roo, was special needs and was still nursing, so we had to take Kanga and the puppy, Roo, together. After separating them for a while once Roo was weaned, we decided to put them back together after Roo recovered from her surgeries. Kanga came from a very bad hoarding situation. She was very underweight (which probably contributed to the poor condition of her two puppies). She is very healthy now, and ready to be adopted. Roo showed signs of congenital birth defects in her legs (not surprising, given her rough start). Three of her legs were “good enough” for mobility, while the 4th leg was pretty messed up. We decided to do a series of surgeries to realign the bones on the worst leg. She is fully recovered and gets around pretty good (although, not sure that she could take long walks - maybe a stroller is in her future?) Kanga can be very shy and cautious when meeting new people, but when she does feel comfortable, she is super sweet and affectionate. Roo, as a puppy, loves everyone. Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13. For more information about Kanga & Roo, contact nobodysperfektdogs@gmail.com

Story
Chihuahua Age: Senior Female, spayed 3.5 lbs Adoption Fee: $125 (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations) Pixie was picked up by animal control on the streets of Hayward. While at the shelter, she gave a lot of “mixed messages” to the staff. “I want to play” “I am a happy little girl” “Touch me and lose a finger” etc. So the shelter reached out to us to rescue her. She has bonded with the foster dad, and allows him to handle her. Everyone else in the home, however, needs to use caution when interacting with her. It is very common for these small dogs to be a ONE PERSON ONLY dog and Pixie fits that description. Although a lot of the time she is pretty stoic, the foster home is starting to see some of her playful side with the other dogs. Pixie does fine with other small dogs. Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13. For more information about Pixie, contact nobodysperfektdogs@gmail.com

Story
Chihuahua Mix Age: > 1 yrs old Male, neutered 7 lbs Adoption Fee: $125 (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations) Charlie was dropped off at the Berkeley Animal Shelter by someone who initially stated that they “found him.” Then it was discovered that person actually had the dog for a couple of months, so it was treated as an “owner surrender.” He has no real use of his back legs. They were froze/locked in a rigid position, so he used them to steady his back end, but he wasn’t able to actually move them in any useful way. X-rays of his spine showed a major deformity that he was likely born with. The shelter didn’t have the resources to care for this kind of disability. They called us before making the decision to euthanize him. We have determined that Charlie is incontinent (bowels and bladder) due to his condition. He mostly gets around by dragging his hind legs, and occasionally using his legs as “crutches”. The foster family hasn’t done a lot of work on getting him to use a wheelchair/cart. As a puppy he is very playful. He had to learn a lot of puppy manners while interacting with the other dogs in the home. He is doing pretty well in that area. Charlie would do well in a home with other friendly, playful dogs his size. Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13.

Story
Chihuahua Age: Senior (12) Female, spayed 9 lbs Adoption Fee: $125 (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations) Penny was brought to the shelter by someone who found her. She was already spayed and microchipped, but the person who answered the chip’s registered phone number (from 2012) supposedly wasn’t the owner. The finder claimed that Penny bit them as they were capturing her (not uncommon), and for that reason she was flagged with a bite history which means no other rescue group would help her. Even though she was available for adoption at the shelter, no one was interested, probably because she needed dental surgery. So the shelter called us. There have been no incidents of biting while at the shelter or in her foster home with Nobody’s Perfekt Dogs. We did the dental surgery - she went in with 7 remaining teeth, now she has only 2. Penny is a sweet gal, mellow, doesn’t seem to mind dogs her own size (not too keen on the large puppies in the rescue bothering her during adoption events). She would make a great companion for someone looking for an easy dog. Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13.

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 to meet by appointment only. Aw, Magoo, we knew you were overwhelmed at the shelter, but you’re an affectionate good boy under that stressed exterior! This goofy and entertaining 18-pound youngster is looking for an understanding home to help him blossom into a confident companion. Magoo thrives in the company of other dogs and is happiest with his canine foster siblings. He loves to entertain himself while his foster parent works from home, busying himself with toys, blankets, and dog beds, often rearranging them around the house. He enjoys solo play, tossing and fetching toys for himself, but also loves curling up on a sunny cushion or nearby piece of furniture for a peaceful nap. He is very attuned and responsive to all beings, including grumpy dogs. Magoo takes correction well, walking away from any behavior that gets a negative response. He loves company and expresses his joy by dancing around, wagging his tail, and offering gentle licks to outstretched hands or feet. If you give him scritches, he’ll melt into your lap, quickly settling down for a nap. Magoo is mostly housetrained and crate-trained. He shows some initial anxiety when left alone but generally settles down in his crate, which he often chooses to enter when feeling uncertain or just to nap. This charming pup would thrive in a home with other dogs of any size who are willing to play. Older, gentle, and patient kids or adults who can meet him where he’s at will be essential. He’s an independent guy who can entertain himself with his antics, but he will take time to warm up to humans. A fenced yard is crucial, as he loves to run and sniff around, and he's not progressed to leash walks yet. Despite his rough start, Magoo is becoming a resilient, joyful, and social dog.

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 to meet by appointment only. Stacy came into the shelter confused and scared but with her curious nature and affinity for other dogs, she has started to relax and take it all in. She is clearly a smart girl and has already learned a lot by observing the other dogs. While still shy, she happily takes treats from volunteers' hands and allows a gentle pet or two. She is also learning to walk on leash by simply following other dogs and doing what they do. In a quiet home with an experienced adopter and a confident canine sibling, we think Stacy will blossom into an affectionate pup who fully embraces the good life of comfy dog beds, yummy treats, and a family of her own.

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 to meet by appointment only. Though barely out of puppyhood, creamy chi-mix Garth has had a rough start to life and is looking for an angel adopter who will give him all the love and care he deserves. Brought in as a stray, he is overwhelmed by the shelter environment and shy with volunteers, likely due at least in part to issues with his back legs, which appears to be congenital. Garth is mobile and gets around in his own way, enjoys playing with stuffed toys and the company of other gentle dogs, and is starting to learn the value of tasty treats. Garth would do best in a quiet home without stairs, preferably with a confident yet gentle pup who can show him how to dog. Is there room in your heart and home to help this young boy live a full and happy life?
