Story
Jasmine was adopted in Chico, CA. Her approximate birthday is 3/20/21. We can no longer take care of her as our new Apt won’t allow her to live there. She is a silly girl, who loves to sniff around on walks and is very food motivated. She loves to cuddle, sunbathe, and roll around in blankets. She is great with other dogs, and is curious but friendly to cats. She can sit and wait for her food and will eat when given the “OK” command. she loves pets and will go up to others even when she’s scared. She would be best in a home with 1 owner she can obsess over, but it may take her sometime to warm up to you. She needs a gentle, loving home that will give her the patience to open up and be the goofy girl who just wants love and attention.

Story
Dear Friends, It breaks my heart to share that I'm looking to re-home my loyal and loving companion, Greyson. Due to a relocation, I'm unable to take him with me, and my biggest hope is to find him a new home where he'll be as cherished as he deserves. Greyson is more than just a dog; he's a true friend with an incredible capacity for love. He's happiest on a walk by your side or curled up next to you, his tail wagging with each treat and belly rub. His gentle, warm-hearted nature makes him the kind of dog who thrives on companionship and brings joy wherever he goes. Greyson's daily snuggles and his eagerness to be there for you in every moment will make him a beloved addition to any home. If you or someone you know is looking to welcome a loyal and affectionate dog into their lives, please reach out. I'd love to introduce you to Greyson and tell you more about him. With gratitude, William

I adopted Agatha back in April at 2 months old. She is now 8 months old. Agatha is a very active and sweet puppy who enjoys the outdoors. She loves to shower and play with children. She loves new toys and is currently in the teething stage, so she needs chewing toys. She loves to cuddle.

Hi, this is Boots and she is about to be 3 years old in March. She has been with me since she was born and is a very sweet and playful dog. She's healthy, spayed and current on vaccines but does need training. She's very smart and listens. It hurts me a lot to have to give her up but I'm hoping I'm able to find her a forever home who can give her the time and attention she needs.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Honey is an approximately 1.5 year-old, 18 pound best of all breeds, AKA a mutt. Sweet Honey was found in a field with a group of 6 pups so she really loves the company of other dogs, but is also a champion snuggler who loves to groom her foster momma's hair!. Honey is an extraordinarily sweet dog. She is so affectionate, she seeks out physical contact as much as possible, preferably on your lap or chest. When she’s feeling playful, she loves to play fetch or play with squeaky toys.  Under our veterinarian's guidance, Honey started anti-anxiety medication and it has helped her tremendously, particularly during times of transition. Adopter will need to continue this medication and work with their veterinary partner to monitor Honey's medication needs.  Do you have the time and patience to help Honey continue to learn what it feels like to be safe, relaxed and loved? Please fill out an application today! Prior to adoption, all dogs are spayed/neutered, tested for heartworm, vaccinated (including rabies, if age appropriate) and microchipped.   Adoption fees for dogs: http://www.svpetproject.org/info/adoption Stay up-to-date on what our dogs are up to by following us on Facebook!  https://www.facebook.com/svpetproject SVPP thanks Alec Khanna photography for assistance in taking photos of our adoptable pets.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 17, 2024, 6:10 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sweet Puppy!Dot is a 10.8 lb, spayed, 8 month-old Chihuahua/Terrier mix puppy.  If you want a fun sidekick, with the cutest forehead wrinkles, the longest little legs and a nose for adventure, meet Dot! Dot was the tiniest pup in her litter but she made sure she found her breakfast, lunch and dinner squeezing in between her larger littermates. Dot was born under a shed to a very sweet abandoned mama chihuahua mix who did a good job of keeping her little babies safe and warm. When mama and her 2 week old puppies were discovered, they were brought to safety where they were raised in a loving foster home. Dot is a confident girl, who loves to learn, is super motivated for treats and its just hard not to look at her and smile or laugh at her antics. She might be a good candidate for agility as she has lots of energy and likes to explore! She loves her walks and we are working on her leash manners. Dot will need a watchful eye as she likes to adventure.  Once the wiggles are out, Dot is a world class snuggler and is super affectionate. Dot is crate trained and potty trained in her foster home but as with any new situation, dogs/puppies will have accidents and there will be adjustment period as they learn their new environment. Prior to adoption, all dogs are spayed/neutered, tested for heartworm, vaccinated (including rabies, if age appropriate) and microchipped.   This is a Courtesy Listing. Dot is being f ostered in Sunnyvale. Email  K9reunite@gmail.com  or complete an adoption application for more info. Adoption fee $400.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 15, 2024, 6:19 pm

Jack is eager to learn and is currently in a board-and-train program. He is crate and potty-trained. He is currently learning basic manners, commands, and socializing while living with a trainer in a home with her two dogs and a cat. Jack has had a difficult and challenging journey. He was surrendered to Every Pet's Dream Rescue in great pain. His backstory is unknown. Our vets did everything they could to help him, but unfortunately, after his first surgery failed, his back leg had to be amputated. Jack can be vocal at times when startled and was most likely not socialized as a puppy. He is currently working on these fears. While at the rescue, Jack learned to adapt as an amputee, his new living situation with several other dogs and a cat. While here, he became besties with two little rescue dogs. Jack is energetic, likes to play with little dogs, loves to play fetch, go for short walks, and settle in on the couch for a cuddle or snuggle. Jack loves the simple things in life, like belly rubs, ear scratches, lots of stuffed toys, and people. Jack would do best as an only dog or a home with a small, playful dog. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Jack is a sweet, loyal, and loving companion. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Jack is searching for a foster home or foster-to-adopt when he graduates from training at the end of the year. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 If you're looking for a new best friend, Jack might be the dog for you!

Story
Leia is a friendly, full-of-personality dog who loves attention and loves to explore. Energy Level?  Medium/Low House trained?  Yes, mostly Describe how they are on leash?  Leia is mostly fantastic on a leash--she can bark at other dogs, and prefers a sniff walk (i.e very slow exploration) over a walk for exercise. Describe how they are with other dogs?  She needs to take a bit of time to relax around new dogs. She is a bit bossy and would not do well with dogs that will not back off if she needs space. Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they?  She does not appear to have been around cats too much. Commands they know?  Sit What are their favorite things?  Leia loves attention. She loves her sniff walks and cuddling up on the couch with a person. What do they need to work on?  Leia would benefit from more basic training (like come, stay, etc.). She can also be overly anxious when meeting new dogs. In addition, she can resource-guard her toys (or anything she deems as hers, like a stray sock or one of her jackets or blankets). How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone?  She can be anxious when left alone, even with other dogs. She might whine for a bit and scratch the door. I have left her alone for 6 to 7 hours at a time so far. Where do they sleep?  She sleeps in a dog bed or a crate. What is their ideal home?  Leia's perfect home would be where she gets a lot of attention (or at least can be close to her human when they are home). She loves going for slow sniff walks every day or a few times a day. She is delightful and loving but likes being the boss with other dogs. Her ideal home would not have dogs who are too 'in her face', but she does get along well with calm dogs after a proper slow introduction. November 5, 2024, 12:10 am

Our sweet girl  "Millie"  had double cherry-eye surgery recently and is doing great.   Milkshake is very sweet and cuddly and enjoys a lot of physical contact. she is very friendly and happy.

Very good Describe how they are with other dogs?  Social, communicates well Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they?  She hasn't been around cats, ignores guinea pigs Commands they know?  “Go peepee” comes when her name called What are their favorite things?  Snuggles, burrowing in laundry, sitting in the sunshine What do they need to work on?  House training, basic commands, crate training How are they when left alone?    How long have they been left alone?  So far, she doesn’t love the crate, left in the crate for 1-2 hours. Where do they sleep?  In our bed or a crate What is their ideal home?  A calm, predictable home. She likes teens who are quiet, gentle, and respectful. She likes her two dog friends but primarily needs humans to bond with. Someone who is often home (retired?) would be good for her. She would do well around calm, respectful kids.  November 5, 2024, 12:10 am

Story
My previous ESA dog died and my friends thought it would be a good idea to replace her right away. It wasn’t. I am not dealing with the death well and I just returned to full time work. This is Muffin. I have had her since she was 3 months old. She is 10 months old. She is potty trained to use both pee pads and outside. She doesnt bark which I’ve been told is unusual for Pomeranians. This is my first. She is spunky and fun. She has the softest fur I’ve ever felt. I am also allergic and she is not hypoallergenic like my previous dogs have been and this is a problem. I thought Pom’s were hypoallergenic. Be aware they are not. She is super adorable. And loves to play and sleep. She loves to go on a daily walk and would happily go on two if you would take her. She loves to go to the park and run around. She’s trying to decide if the squirrels in the yard are for chasing or for watching and she does a little of both. She is quite a character. Children must be over 12. She is 6 lbs.
