Story
I have a 9 year old pitbull named Zeus I had him since he was a puppy. He’s house trained knows basic commands. He is high energy likes to go on walks, hikes or runs. Grew up with family members so always around kids or people. I’m trying to rehome him because our living situation has changed and I don’t have the time for him anymore. I would like him to go to a good home. He’s a house dog and does not like being outside.

Story
Ollie is a 4-year-old mixed breed dog we adopted from the humane society in 2020. He is loving, loyal, potty trained, crate trained, and leash trained. He is active when we are but is also content relaxing at home. He doesn’t have any separation anxiety and can stay home alone. We are looking for a new home for Ollie since we have an active toddler who has dog allergies.

Story
Hi guys, I'm Dino! But you can call me Dino-mite, Dino-saur or Dino-nugget! I am a neutered, 5-year-old, Staffordshire terrier mix that weighs in at a whopping 76lbs! I'm always the life of the party! I'm an energetic, outgoing fella that loves to be outside. All of my friends tell me how handsome I am! I am a boisterous boy who loves to run, jump and play. I've been working on my manners and impulse control, but still have some work left to do. I'm hoping for a bully-savvy family that is prepared to continue my training. I'm a boundary tester, but I love treats and can't wait to learn! I've been a rockstar at Nose Work and can sniff out all the goodies like a pro! I love being around people and already know sit, place, touch, and find it! I'm a food motivated boy that's eager to please! If you are looking for silly puppy hijinks in a much bigger package, then I'm your boy! Just ask Customer Service about Dino! ID# A939842 I recently went on a walk with one of my PHS Volunteer friends! Here's how I did: He was very well behaved. I took a different route than normal which he appeared to enjoy quite a bit. I think it was a nice change of scenery for him. He really enjoyed sniffing and rolling around on wet grass. He had a big smile on his face which made my morning.Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.  You may call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment, or just drop by.

Story
Hi everybody! My name is Snow White, and I'm a spayed,  2-year-old, Staffordshire Terrier mix that currently weighs about 53lbs. I can't wait to say hello—I'm a silly, happy love bug who jumps for joy when meeting new people. I also enjoy 'talking' to my friends: I bark to say hello, and I bark when we're playing fetch, so you know when to throw the ball. I have a lot of energy, but once I've had my playtime and walk, I can't wait to be showered with affection. If you stop scratching me, I'll put my paw on your knee as a way of saying 'more, please!' Did I mention that I'm a very smart girl who excels at nose work? I even find the treats when they hide them somewhere high, and I sit and wait patiently to be rewarded. I'm the whole package: smart and pretty with tons of personality! Please be sure to bring in the entire household, including any resident dogs, to meet me prior to adding me to the family. I'm hoping for a family with adults only or families with older children that are familiar bully breeds like me and have experience teaching dogs how to share and be patient with treats. For more information about me, just ask Customer Service about Snow White! ID# A946068 I recently went spent time with my PHS Volunteer friends! Here's how I did: Snow White has improved so much in her time with us at Lantos. She’s significantly easier to gear now, especially if she has a toy during gearing. She still lovesss fetch but now she has a lot more impulse control and can do long sit-stays or down-stays waiting for the next toss. She is quite easy to walk after a game of fetch. Finally, she used to be super weird about my camera and try to grab it or bash it. Now she poses beautifully for photos. Such a good girl. So proud of her.Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.  You may call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment, or just drop by.

Story
FOSTER CARE! Hey there, are you looking for a Denny's 'Grand Slam'? Well, here I am I'm Denny and I'm a 1-year-old, neutered, pit bull mix that weighs about 75lbs. I'm a curious and playful young dog, and if you have snacks, I'll find them! I'm a sweet boy and take my treats very nicely if a bit slobbery. I'm an active, energetic boy looking for a new walking and adventure buddy. Don't forget the snuggles! I love to sit next to or on top of my favorite person. I'm an exuberant player and would do best with similarly matched resident dogs. My friends at PHS have been helping me with my manners! I've been working on my manners in a shelter training class, and I'm doing great! I have an excellent 'sit,' 'down,' and 'touch,' and I'm comfortable enough with a crate that my handler can put me inside and leave the room for a few moments. I'm showing lots of progress with 'leave it' and 'stay,' too. I look forward to continuing my training with my adopters! If I sound like the perfect addition to the family, please bring the whole household, including any resident dogs, to meet me! Denny! ID# A953402 My foster parent says I'm doing great! Here's an update on how I'm doing: Denny is doing fantastic. He is a love bug and super easy to handle. Loves our walks in the forest and beaches. Curious and adventurous.   Since I’m not at the adoption center, you can make arrangements to meet me by following these instructions: Please submit your fully completed Adoption Profile Form to behavior@phs-spca.org and a staff member will call you to conduct a phone interview before making an appointment to meet me in person. You must be 18 or older to submit a profile. When you email your adoption profile, please include a few sentences about why you're interested in adopting me specifically and why you think I'd be a good fit for your family! Please also tell us a little bit about your dog experience, if any. We look forward to hearing from you!  Application: https://phs-spca.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/AdoptionProfiles_dog2023_fillin.pdf *The application may not work on mobile devices and iPads.

Story
FOSTER CARE! Hello, my name is Bebe and I'm a 4 year old, spayed, smooth German Shepherd/Pitbull mix that currently weighs about 54 lbs. I'm an affectionate girl that starts off on the timid side. Once I'm comfortable, I enjoy belly rubs and daily walks! I'm hoping for a quiet home that understands that I am a wonderful, but sensitive lady who will need time to adjust into a new setting. Once I'm settled, I'm the epitome of good etiquette. I am calm and demure, most of the time. I've been known to be a fence climber when I want to be with my people. I love the game of chase! Especially with small critters like birds and squirrels so I prefer to be the only pet in the household. My foster family says I'm crate trained (I sleep there at night) and I've had minimal accidents in the house. I'm also a pro at sitting for treats! For more information, just ask Customer Service about Bebe!
