I am a sweet beautiful princess who is so ready to join your canine loving kingdom! Being a young adult, my favorite activities involve being silly and playing for hours on end! I can be skittish, especially at first, so I'll appreciate your gentle patience as I blossom! I'm a great candidate for puppy training classes so I can learn my best manners and grow into your favorite canine beauty queen! Snuggles, fun, and adventure ahead! ! Best suited to a mellow home (no young kids, please) that is prepared for young energy, house training, and love! Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 20 Age: 1yrs 0mths 0wks

I'm a cuddly and bouncy fluff-muffin who is sure to fabulously fit your home like a glove (or perfectly-sized shoe!)! I am on the young side of adult and active, so having zany fun and playing are tops on my list! Please know I can be skittish with new people and places, and I will be looking for an experienced owner so that with your TLC I will be the belle of the ball! Bring on the toys, romps, and some fun puppy training classes so I can learn my best manners! Add in plenty of tummy rubs and kisses and we'll be set! ! Best suited to an experienced owner prepared for young energy, house training, and love! Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 26 Age: 1yrs 0mths 0wks

Story
Meet Alex! Alex is a delightful 4-month-old puppy looking for his forever family. He got a rough start in life, given away far too young in front of a convenience store in Fresno. Thankfully, a kind soul intervened, keeping Alex and his siblings safe with their mama. Now thriving in foster care in the Bay Area, Alex is ready to find a home filled with love and adventure. This adorable, likely Shih Tzu-dachshund mix weighs about 6 pounds and is expected to grow to 14 pounds or less, just like his mama, a dachshund Chiweenie. While his dad is a mystery, he must have had some non-shedding genes, giving Alex a low-shed coat that doesn’t require professional grooming but will benefit from regular brushing. Personality & Looks: Alex is one of the two boys in the litter, with a striking salt-and-pepper coat that’s primarily black. He’s spunky, affectionate, and loves to wrestle and play. Alex is dog-, cat-, and kid-friendly, making him a wonderful fit for many family dynamics. He’s almost ready to start formal training and walks and will thrive in a home that provides structure, time, and plenty of opportunities for playtime. Alex would do best in a home with another dog to learn from and keep him entertained, as he’s happiest with a constant play companion. We’re looking for a family who: - Has the time and resources to commit to training and socialization. - Doesn’t work 8-hour days outside the home. - Has a yard for Alex to romp in. Alex has come so far and deserves the very best. If you’re ready for unconditional love and puppy antics, Alex might be your perfect match!

Story
Meet Spike! Spike is a charming 4-month-old puppy eager to find his forever family. His journey began with a rough start, given away too young in front of a convenience store in Fresno. Thankfully, a kindhearted person stepped in, ensuring Spike and his siblings stayed safe with their mama. Now thriving in foster care in the Bay Area, Spike is ready to bring joy and adventure to his new home. This adorable, likely Shih Tzu-dachshund mix currently weighs about 6 pounds and is expected to grow to 14 pounds or less, just like his mama, a dachshund Chiweenie. While his dad’s breed is a mystery, Spike’s low-shed coat hints at non-shedding genes, possibly from a Maltese or Shih Tzu. His coat doesn’t need professional grooming but will shine with regular brushing. Personality & Looks: Spike is one of the two boys in the litter and shares a striking salt-and-pepper coat with primarily black fur, making him quite the standout. He’s a playful, affectionate pup who loves to wrestle, explore, and cuddle. Spike is dog-, cat-, and kid-friendly, making him a wonderful fit for various family types. Spike is nearly ready to start formal training and will thrive in a home that offers structure, time, and space for play. Like his siblings, he does best with another dog to learn from and keep him entertained—he’s happiest with a constant companion for playtime and snuggles. We’re looking for a family who: - Has the time and commitment to focus on training and socialization. - Doesn’t work long hours outside the home. - Has a yard for Spike to enjoy. Spike has already come a long way and deserves a loving home where he can truly thrive. If you’re ready to welcome a loyal, lively, and lovable companion, Spike might just be the one for you!
