Story
Coco is a small breed mix who's been through a lot in her 6 short months. First she was rescued from a high kill shelter in Central California. Also she was born with a small tuft of hair follicles growing out of her lower eyelid and had to go through surgery. Despite all this Coco is a happy, playful, and loving puppy who is finally ready for a home of her own. Coco loves playing with other dogs and is friendly with everyone. She loves attention, playing outside with her toys, and is learning to walk on leash. Currently at 14 pounds, we estimate she will end up around 20. Coco is the perfect dog for someone who likes small dogs but wants the playfulness and sense of adventure and fearlessness of bigger dogs. Coco is used to both going outside and using potty pads. Up to date on vaccines and spayed, Coco is good to go after she gets her stitches out on June 18, We are not sure of her breed but we suspect chihuahua, terrier, and probably lots of other breeds. Her beautiful brown coat is very soft to the touch. You can make an appointment to visit Coco at her foster home in South San Francisco.

FOSTER CARE! Hi, I'm Thor! I'm a 1 year old, neutered male, Siberian Husky mix and I weigh 51 pounds. Have you ever wished for a dog with the personality of a cat? Well if you have, I'm your wish come true! I'm a sweet and playful boy but I like to take my time getting to know new people. I need to be sure I'm safe before I rub against you for pets. Once I'm super comfortable, I love to run zoomies, play with toys and even jump into water! I love going on adventures. I have good car manners and I'm getting better with my leash manners. I would be the perfect beach buddy! My ideal home would be with someone who is ready for a sweet, energetic pup and will take the time to help me overcome my shyness. As a scaredy cat, I would do best in quiet but active home. I promise to be your best buddy, once I get to know you.  Thor ID# A938350 Since I’m not at the adoption center, you can make arrangements to meet me by emailing behavior@phs-spca.org You may also 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.

Story
Hello everyone, my name is Rocky! I'm a 4 and a half year old, 53 lbs., neutered male Pitbull mix. I'm a happy, energetic boy who enjoys running zoomies in the yard. I'm the best of both worlds and know how to chill and hang out with my favorite person while we watch the world go by. I am working on my manners and will need my new family's help to become a perfect pup. I would do best with kids 6+ and would love to meet the whole family and of course any resident dog before going home. I recently went on a hike with my favorite volunteer. This is what they had to say about our day together:  'I took Rocky on the hike today.  He had a great time in the yard and loves fetching. He was great in the car. He really enjoyed himself on the hike. No issues with dogs. He did pull quite a bit. He was so happy to be out and about! He thanked me with lots of kisses and drool all over my car :-)' Rocky ID#A875866    Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.

Story
FOSTER CARE! Awhoooo! I'm Emilio! I'm a 2 year old, neutered male, 60 pound Chocolate American Staffordshire Terrier / Husky mix and I'm excited to meet you! I'm a very affectionate boy but I can come on a bit strong. It's only because I'm so stoked to see you! I love giving hugs and will try to sit on you. I'm as cuddling and huggable as can be! I also love to run, sniff, jump -- and did I mention jumping?! I'm super great at it. My buddies here at PHS tell me there are times jumping is not appreciated, and I'm doing my best to learn manners. My ideal home will be with adults only who are ready to devote lots of time and energy giving me love, training and exercise. I would do best in a home where I am the only pup for now. Since I'm not always sure who I can give high fives to, I would do best in a home with adults only. I can't wait to be your forever faithful adventure buddy! Emilio ID# A931862 I recently went on a field trip with my favorite volunteer. This is what they had to say about our day together:  Perfect!! Overall he was AMAZINGG. I had him in my house and in my backyard and he wasn’t all over the place or jumpy or anything he was really good, honestly just stayed near me and explored at the same time, whenever I’d call him he’d follow me. He was attached to this random cat toy that was in my backyard and he sunbathed for a chunk of the time. When I picked him up from the shelter, he was anxious for the first 30 mins in the car. He did much better on our car ride back to the shelter. He jumped in perfectly fine and was good in the car, not anxious at all.   Since I’m not at the adoption center, you can make arrangements to meet me by emailing behavior@phs-spca.org You may also 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.
