Story
Yes, our Xena is indeed a Warrior Princess. She is also a chocolate chiweenie, so her goal - world peace - is equally ambitious, but her superpowers are slightly more chill. For instance, she uses her one-up-one-down ears and dazzling smile to disarm soreheads. Her peppy sociability can render dogs and humans helpless with benevolence. She is joyful, not nervous; humble and spry. She does not, however, carry any weapons or grudges and shows no interest in hand-to-hand combat. She believes that there isn't any evil in this world that can't be quashed by her signature boop, snoogle and butterfly kiss combo. Come test her theory! Here's some notes from her foster: Xena is quite energetic when she wants to be. I think when she first came to me she was still getting over her procedure. Since the last update she has been a champ in her cone and has been bounding up/down the stairs. When she came to work with me she was so happy and a social butterfly wanting to say hello to everyone. I brought her toy with me and we played fetch in the office for a but. That cone has nothing on her. She is housed trained and enjoys her short walks. She will definitely let you know when she is done and wants to go home. When I do leave her home she will let out a few quiet barks and will eventually settle down (based on what I what I see on my animal camera). She has not taken any interest in my birds which is great.

Story
Chester is a delicate flower who comes off as shy initially but once he warms up his playful side comes out! He's been through a ton of recent changes, but Muttville gladly accepted this handsome Chi with open arms and an abundance of love! Chester is one of a kind. His personality is full of charm, and his heart is pure. He is looking for a kind adopter to take him in and show him all the love he can handle. Will you be the one to give this perfect boy his new beginning? Here's some notes from his foster: I've had Chester for a couple of weeks now and he has settled in very nicely. He was a tiny bit shy at first, but came out of his shell quickly. He is a very well rounded pup and checks all the boxes. He is great on leash, is house trained, loves other dogs and people alike. He is food motivated and responds well to treats. When he'd like your attention or dinner, he'll do the cutest thing: he sweetly thumps his bum on the floor. Chester loves to split his time between being your shadow and laying in the sun. He is very spry for his age and easily jumps up onto the couch when invited. He makes it up/down my steep stairs with ease. He really is a catch.

Story
This old man, needs a home, full of love and not alone, with a Knick Knack, paddy whack, give this dog a bone, this old man is ready to come rolling right into your home! That's right, it's a modern Muttville remix of your favorite nursery rhyme! Not to worry though, we haven't switched it up too much - Knick Knack himself is a Muttville classic - an incredibly handsome chihuahua and sweet senior bean looking for a loving lap and gentle hands to give him pets and care for the rest of his days. With a wag-wag of his tail and a heart of gold, adopt this senior, make him yours to hold! Here's some notes from his foster: Knick Knack is the sweetest little guy with a laid-back, gentle personality that makes him so easy to love. He absolutely loves being in laps and spending time with humans, making him perfect for anyone looking for a calm, easygoing companion. If my partner and I didn't already have a dog and a baby on the way, we would swoop him up! At night, he'll cozy up next to you in bed, resting his head on you like a true cuddle bug, so his future owner should be ready for lots of snuggles! His favorite things in life are simple - he loves walking through the grass, lounging in the sun, and sneaking in as many naps as he can. Although he's partially blind, he's adjusted beautifully and gets around just fine. He's amazing with other dogs and kids, and while he hasn't met cats we assume he would do just fine. Knick Knack is also well potty-trained, though he needs frequent breaks. He's got a great appetite and doesn't need much more exercise than some relaxed outdoor sniffing and tail wagging time.

Story
Meet Ophelia, the most beautiful four-legged potato we've ever seen. This kind of perfection doesn't just happen, it's the result of years of hard napping and snackies. Ophelia is ready to retire from a busy life of being perfect, and can't wait to spend her time focusing on what's really important in life: napping. Here's some notes from her foster: Ophelia is such a sweetie pie. Though blind and deaf, she has a really good sense of her surroundings all things considered. (Sometimes I swear she can see me or hear a bit.) She's a very curious pup and loves sniffing all over - inside and out. She will take a day or two to adjust to her new home during which time she really gets her steps in sniffing around -- she took about 24 hours of being here to sit/lay for more than a couple minutes at a time. Ironically, she loves to walk about but on an actual "walk" seems to have mixed feelings. She'll walk just fine outdoors but will stop to sniff as she pleases for as long as she pleases, so in my experience it's not a very speedy walk. She gets along well with anyone - kids, humans, and dogs alike (I'm sure cats or other animals as well - just haven't seen it) - and doesn't get alarmed easily. When left alone, she'll sniff about or take a nap on her bed or a blanket (or my sweatshirt left on the carpet). She does potty on a more frequent basis, but less as she's gotten in the swing of a routine at my home and she takes a couple minutes outside to wander before she ever does the deed. Ophelia would be a great addition to your home - you'll love hearing her little pug-like sniffs around the house and giving her cuddles.

Story
Somewhere inside this little red chi is a very deep well of resilience. How else to explain Chucky's stubborn belief in the kindness of strangers? Worse for wear after a rough ride as a stray, this fluffy sweetie guy is undergoing lap therapy, making lots of friends and preparing with growing optimism for a comfy, safe and loving home to call his own. His cuteness is undeniable, but it's his endearing faith that will capture your heart. Here's some notes from his foster: I am 100% in love with Chuck! His confidence is growing by the minute and becoming such an outgoing boy! If you're looking for the most loyal companion, Chuck is your guy-- Not only is he handsome and friendly but he has a never ending amount of love to give. Chuck is a pretty low key guy who wants nothing more than to be near his person. He doesn't need constant attention, he wants to find a comfy spot and snuggle up near, of course extra pets are always welcome. He walks nicely on his leash at a pretty slow pace, stops occasionally to sniff. Chuck takes a lot of naps during the day- he's an older guy and would prefer a calm home without too much commotion. This brave boy with beautiful red fur is a ready to start over with the type of life he deserves, one with lots of comfort and love. Chuck is going to make the best addition to his forever home!

Story
Forest, a dinky caramel chi with the aura of a spiritual guru, doesn't stand out in a crowd. But the minute you meet his big brown eyes, he grabs your heart. He's a sweet boy with a gentle and loving nature that is rare in this world. Happily, it is also contagious. The potency of his humble kindness around dogs and humans of any age is matched by a fondness for hikes and outings. Belly rubs, for which he will wait patiently, keep him young and will bring you luck. Win-win! Here's some notes from his foster: Forest is a dashing fellow, boldly sniffing at strangers and other dogs. Stairs aren't a problem although steep stairs might give him pause. I think he'll build up confidence and little treats to encourage him don't seem to hurt. He is polite in asking for lap time and is most happy curled up next to someone, person or dog. He's curious on walks and likes to sniff his way down the street. He seems well housetrained and is well behaved when left alone for a little bit. He really is a snuggler. He tries to nap with my dog when I'm not around and Shadow will mostly let him. Have not heard Forest bark at all. Forest seems to consider almost anyone a potential friend. He'll run up to greet strangers feet as we're walking and happy to accept their attention. He nearly fell asleep within minutes of getting settled in a friend's lap.

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

Chihuahua Australian Shepherd

Male, Puppy
Kensington, CA
Size

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
As soon as we met Sunny we fell in love. His parents -- a Chihuahua/Terrier mix and an Australian Shepherd/Terrier hybrid -- gave birth to a litter of 5, a few doors down from us. We adopted him, and his litter mate Remy, as 3-month-old puppies. Born on Valentine's Day, they lived with their parents until we brought them home Unknowingly, we bit off more than we could chew with two pups. We would love to keep him, but the rhythm of our lives -- travel for work & family, 3 kids, and demanding jobs -- can't withstand the sweet needs of two adorable puppies. Sunny is playful, sweet, rambunctious, and food-incentivized. He is crate- and potty trained. Though good with dogs, he requires more socialization. He is about the size of a house cat, and timid of big dogs, but with gentle cajoling he eases into connecting with other canines. We would love to re-home him in Berkeley, El Cerrito or Kensington, and ideally stay in touch since he and his brother are best mates.

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!
