Story
Age: 9 years old Gender: Male Breed: Shih Tzu mix Weight: 26 lbs Personality: Yuki is wary of strangers but will warm up to people with a bit of chicken and patience on the human's side. Yuki is a mellow guy who loves to nap next to you and lounge in the sun. Yuki is content to sleep the day away near his person but is also up for playing with stuffed animals and fetching! Yuki does well on leash but is quick to warn you that strangers are nearby. He has some barrier frustration, but is generally very easy going once he has warmed up to you. He loves going for car rides and is a great passenger, although drive thru cashiers may be startled at his sudden alerting. Yuki does well with other dogs. He is polite enough to leave old grumpy dogs alone but will play with young energetic pups. He does not resource guard his person, but does show some food guarding tendencies. It would be safest to feed separately. Needs a home with no children or older children who will treat him with respect and give him space as needed. If you have some chicken and just two days of patience, you will be rewarded with so much love. Yuki is an easy dog, he is crate trained, potty trained, and walks well on leash. He is generally a gentle, mellow guy with great house manners. He has a case of stranger danger, but can be redirected when he is reacting. Yuki loves hanging out with his human, but does well when left alone. He will sleep until you return and greet you wholeheartedly. Yuki takes a little bit to warm up to his person, but once you earn his trust, you will find that no one else will look at you with as much love in their eyes as Yuki.  Education: Good with bathroom and leash training Favorite Activities: Napping, cuddling, chewing tags and eyeballs off stuffed animals, fetch, sun bathing. He's also extremely dog friendly Looking for: A sweet person or family who can give him space, be patient with him and respect/ advocate for his boundaries while he learns to trust humans. Ideally older and respectful kids are ok, and so are dogs. He is currently taking Prozac (~$5-10 for a month's supply, depending on market value and where purchased) to successfully help manage his anxiety around new people.  Adoption Fee: $ 350 ##1592807##

Story
Meet Chiquita Chiquita is a gentle 10-year-old, 12 lb poodle–schnauzer mix with the sweetest heart. Her world was recently turned upside down when her beloved owner passed away. Through all the changes, Chiquita has shown nothing but love and a longing to be close to people. She adores cuddling, curling up in laps, and simply being near those who care for her. Chiquita has spent most of her life outdoors, so she isn’t fully housebroken yet—but she is eager to learn with patience and kindness. She currently lives peacefully with two other dogs and would do well in a home with furry companions or as the center of someone’s attention. This little soul has so much love left to give. All she needs is a safe, gentle place to call home and a family who will cherish her for the rest of her days. Will you open your heart to Chiquita and give her the second chance she so deeply deserves? If interested in meeting this sweet girl please reach out to her foster: Marta (650)740-0816 martalevison@gmail.comMarch 8, 2026, 8:45 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Foster or Forever Home Wanted: Meet Molly!  Molly is a 2-year-old deaf doodle looking for a home where she can finally find stability, guidance, and the training she deserves. Being deaf doesn’t make Molly untrainable—it just means she’ll learn a little differently. Deaf dogs thrive with visual cues, consistency, and patient leadership, and Molly is smart enough to catch on quickly. This girl is sweet, curious, and full of personality. She’s already potty trained, crate trained, people-friendly, and dog-friendly with both big and small dogs. Molly loves to play and explore, and she’s always ready for fun. Like many young doodles, Molly can get a little mouthy when she’s overstimulated, so we recommend a home without young children. She’ll benefit from continued training, structure, and supervision—because if left to her own devices, she may decide your belongings are fair game. Think of her as a happy toddler, living in her own joyful (and silent!) little world. With the right home willing to invest time in her training and communication, Molly has the potential to be an incredible companion.  If you can foster or adopt Molly, please fill out an application at www.labradorsandfriends.org. She’s ready for a fresh start and a family who will help her shine. Molly is located in Southern California.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 17, 2026, 2:46 pm
