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 hereAw, 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, though there have been a few daytime accidents. 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 a resilient, joyful, and social dog who is sure to blossom in the right forever home! If you're looking for a rewarding project dog who can grow into your dream companion, Magoo is the one for you! Follow him in foster with @adoptable_from_oas on Instagram!

Story
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! Primary Color: Tan Weight: 2.17 Age: 6yrs 4mths 4wks

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. For more information about Charlie, contact: nobodysperfektdogs@gmail.com

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 Xipe, the sweet and endearing puppy who’s looking for a loving family to help him build confidence and trust. At almost 10 months old, Xipe might be a bit shy and may initially freeze or cower when approached too quickly. But don’t let that fool you—underneath his reserved exterior is a playful and loving pup who thrives with patience and gentle encouragement. Xipe’s sweet nature shines through once he feels comfortable. He’s incredibly affectionate and finds joy in human company. His strong motivation for treats makes him eager to learn, and he’s already mastered commands like "sit," "leave it," "house," and "couch." He’s also crate trained, which helps him feel secure and at ease in his environment. Living harmoniously in foster with four cats and three other dogs, Xipe is friendly and gets along well with his furry companions. His playful spirit and treat motivation make him an enthusiastic learner and a fun addition to any home. Xipe will do best with another confident, friendly dog in the home to show him the ropes. Potential adopters should be ready to continue Xipe’s socialization journey with consistent positive reinforcement training. With your patience and love, Xipe will flourish into the confident, joyful companion he’s meant to be. If you’re ready to offer a safe and nurturing environment for this wonderful pup, Xipe is eager to find his forever family and show you just how loving and fun he can be!
