Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Kazhem is a very handsome, somewhat shy Akita mix who warms up slowly to new people. But once he is comfortable he will share his goofy personality with you, running zoomies in the grass and showing off his great smile and happy tail wag.He gets along great with other dogs on the beach, the trails and probably in the dog park, but would prefer to be the only doggo in his forever home. Once Kazhem bonds with you he`s very devoted and wants to be with you all the time. Retirees, professionals who work at home, and anyone else who could make him a part of their daily life would be his dream family!

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This is Redvine's second rodeo at our shelter, through no fault of his own. He has a tremendous amount of love and companionship to give, so we really want to see this fantastic boy find his forever home soon! Part of what makes Redvine so special is his puppylike energy. His wigglebutt can knock down anyone under five feet tall, which makes him a less-than-ideal nanny. But if you have older kids and the family has been looking for a four-legged pal to run, hike, swim, or just snuggle with on the couch? He's perfect. * 57 lbs * 5 years old * Sweet and outgoing * Playful * Smart * Crate trained and housebroken * Versatile (couch potato or workout buddy) * Great with people and other dogs in public * Chews on toys, not your belongings * Easily adapts to new environments * Kids older than 12 * Possibly too rough for small dogs and other pets Meet Redvine any afternoon but Monday at 1590 Fortmann Way in Alameda, California.

SAMANTHA

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 2 yrs 8 mos

Alameda, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Through no fault of her own, Samantha has been in our shelter for more than a year after being found as a stray. She is nothing if not resilient, living in a kennel week after week, month after month, and we are honored to care for her. But she needs a home. Take a close look at this deserving little pittie. Perhaps you'll see what we do: the best smiling face, the happiest attitude, the bubbliest personality. Can you imagine waking up to this pure doggie joy every day? She's a smiler who seems to revel in life, a dog who sees the glass as half full. The word wigglebutt was invented for Samantha. She's been in a shelter for so long, she has been quite nervous in a couple of her foster homes, barking at noises and people she doesn't know. But she settles down with patience. Samantha's reactivity toward other animals has improved, but she should be your only pet until she receives further training to leave cats and small dogs alone. * 2 years, 4 months old * small for her breed * easy to walk * lots of fun * loves people * Good with kids * should be only fur child Apply on our website, and call (510) 337-8565 to make an appointment. If she is not in a foster home, you may meet Samantha any afternoon except Monday at 1590 Fortmann Way in Alameda, California. Her adoption fee has already been paid for by an admirer, so you owe nothing!

BUSTER BROWN

American Staffordshire Terrier

Male, 7 yrs 2 mos

Alameda, CA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Buster is one of our long-stay senior dogs who longs for a permanent home. He just came back from several months with a wonderful foster. Unfortunately, she could not keep him (going back to school). Buster has been so sad since then that it just breaks our hearts. This roly-poly senior is super cuddly once he bonds with you. He will follow you around the house to keep tabs on you, then settle in with you on the couch or bed so you can scratch his head. His ideal person would work from home. Ever seen a dog make biscuits? Buster Brown has the endearing catlike habit of massaging bedding with his paws. Soooo cute! Around strangers, he is 99% well-behaved. Rarely, something will scare him (like a passing pedestrian) and he will attempt to nip. We're working to eliminate those triggers. Buster's Quick Facts: * Loves people * Housebroken * No kids (doesn't like loud noises or surprises) * Master of funny faces * Easy to walk * Snuggly and affectionate You can meet Buster at 1590 Fortmann Way in Alameda, California, any afternoon but Monday. BONUS! An admirer has already paid Buster's adoption fee so you don't have to.
