Story
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
Sausage is mostly a very sweet and loving little doggy, but he is quite reactive with other dogs, and most humans. He is very small, only 6 lbs. He has done well with pet sitters in the past and most have been able to pet him and hold him and even slept in their bed with them. He sleeps well in his crate. Eats wet food, sometimes dry too, loves Greenie bones and Pupperonis. He is mostly very good with his toilets, he has a very occasional accident in the house, but this is mostly if we forget to take him outside. He has a luxating patella which means he has a weird knee which he lifts up most of the time when he walks but is not painful to him at all. He does not need walking very much being as he is so small! He loves to sit outside in the sun. He has been known to bite if you touch him while he's asleep or try to perform a nail trim on him. He doesn't attack people or animals but does bark/yap loudly - like a chihuahua!

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!   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.January 21, 2025, 4:10 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 fostered 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.January 19, 2025, 1:46 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

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

Mia is unbelievably friendly, very sweet and loving, and extremely active. She acts more like a puppy than anything. She loves to play with other dogs, and is respectful around cats.  Energy Level?  Can be very very active. House trained?  Yes Describe how they are on leash?  She loves to go for short walks. She can be a little barky with high energy on her walks, but is not aggressive or overly barky. Describe how they are with other dogs?  She gets along fantastic with the resident dog. Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they?  She is respectful of the cats.  Commands they know?  I don’t know that she knows any. What are their favorite things?  She loves to play with her toys (Or anything she thinks is a toy), she loves to snuggle and dive under the blankets of the bed. She lets go for walks and see new things. She loves to play with the dog more than anything. She loves chew bones. What do they need to work on?  She can be a little mouthy when she licks you. She doesn’t do it to her, but she just gets very excited to give kisses. She can be naughty and will drag whatever she can into the backyard. Like my shoes, or kitchen sponge. She has dug a little bit in the backyard. She can jump on people out of excitement and happiness. How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone?  She can be a little bit destructive if she finds a pencil on the ground… She will dig in the backyard dirt a little bit. But she does not seem to be too much of a barker. She will run outside to bark, but then come right back in. Where do they sleep?  She is crate trained, and sleeps in a crate. But she also loves to sleep under the blankets with you if you allow her. What is their ideal home?  She would love to be with another happy playful dog. With patient owners that understand that she is a puppy at heart, and she needs basic training and to be monitored initially.
