Story
We have made the painful decision to rehome our 2.5 year old dog, Ginger. We adopted Ginger in January 2023 from the San Jose Animal Care Shelter. She is extremely sweet, loving, protective, warm, and playful. She enjoys running on grass, playing fetch, and cuddling in bed. She also loves to abuse her “treat” button and get treats, bread or strawberries in return! Ginger has displayed some aggression towards other dogs, unfortunately. She needs a home that can handle and train out her aggression, is willing to deal with her separation anxiety, and is able to spend the time to train her to be less reactive and toy possessive. We are looking for a home where she can thrive despite her quirks. Also, we would appreciate it if her new pawrents would be willing to let us meet her every once in a while - she's been such an important part of our lives for 18 months and it pains us to have to let her go, but if we can see her every now and then, that might make it a tad bit easier for us.

This beautiful baby girl needs to be rehomed. She is 2 years old. Her name is Maya. She's an American Bully mix. About 60lbs. She is a loving girl that just needs a good home and a owner that can fit her needs. Me and my wife work during the day and can not leave her with our older dog because they do not get along. Our older dog needs training.

Angel is a sweet girl. We adopted her from the shelter in June 2024. She loves walks, playing fetch, and sleeping. She is 6 years old with tons of energy. We are looking to rehome her because our small, older dog doesn’t seem to appreciate her playful attitude.

Story
Meet me Saturday 11/23 at 3 Steves Winery from 11:30 am - 4:30 pm! (5700 Greenville Rd, Livermore)Personality-wise, Long John Silver is very chill. He has two modes: sleeping loudly and wanting to be on top of you. He’s very tolerant of kids and will even cuddle nearby if they’re relaxing or reading. He spends his days sleeping or wanting to be in his foster caregiver`s lap. On walks, he does well on a leash and will tell you when he has had enough and wants to go home. Long John has been introduced to a crate and will nap in it with the door open, but prefers to sleep happily on a dog bed. He seems to be mostly housebroken, having only one accident the first day while he was still getting used to his caregiver’s schedule. He has previously been fostered with other dogs and did well with canine companionship. Long John has been receiving baths with a medicated shampoo and loves his spa time! Long John Silver was transferred to Valley Humane on 11/10 from Oakland Animal Services. He was surrendered when his owner could not afford his necessary eye surgery. He is an adult dog (aged between 4 and 7 years old) and weighs 17 pounds.Long John Silver has been diagnosed with skin irritation due to suspected allergies. The signs of allergy are most commonly itching and skin inflammation or infection. This pet has been treated with a topical flea control and started on an allergy medication. A specific cause was not determined. Allergies are generally caused by one of 3 categories: 1. Flea allergy. 2. Environmental allergy (atopy). 3. Food allergy.Long John Silver was diagnosed with grade II-III patellar luxation in both knees. This condition is common in small and toy breed dogs. In grade I, the patella sometimes moves out of place but returns to its normal position its own. In grade IV, the patella (kneecap) is constantly out of place and does not move back into its normal position. Grades II and III are intermediate in between these. Patellar luxation can cause occasional intermittent to constant lameness. Surgical correction should be considered if the dog shows frequent lameness or pain.Do you have questions about this animal or are you ready to take the next step to adoption?

Female, 5 yrs
Pleasanton, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Violet is the most joyful and lovable gal! She is SO happy to be alive and makes sure you know how grateful she is every second! Having a bad day? Violets smile will light up the WHOLE room. She is a cuddly girl that is happy to be around her person and will be happy to do anything with you! Want a chill day on the couch? Vi approves! Want to take a 3 hour hike? Vi also approves! She is a very adaptable gal! Violet is searching for her new bff! Could that be you? Violet is a smaller pittie mix, around 55lbs and is all muscle! She is a young dog but clearly has been bred multiple times. She has done great with other dogs her size or bigger with slow introductions. Violet is fully potty trained, leash trained, crate trained, and will happily nap in her crate if you need to leave her home while you go out. She is energetic and loves to play just as much as she loves to snuggle! Violet has some prey drive to small animals so no small dogs or cats. Because of how jumpy and mouthy she can get when she plays or gets excited, we believe she would do best and thrive in a home with kits 10+ only. She has been working on this with a trainer and has improved so so much! Violet has spent 6 weeks with a credible balanced trainer @boooshank (IG) and has made a lot of progress and learning to slow down and think before just acting, which is HUGE for her. She has struggled with being bale to control her impulses because of her prey drive but with working with @boooshank, she has been able to let the chickens be friends and not want to eat them when walking by! Whoever takes a chance on Violet gets a lot of AMAZING training perks from her trainer Lee! Violet comes with lifetime assistance from him, group classes for her whole life and 1:1 lessons, boarding options and priority swimming pool slots! Violet is currently being fostered in Woodland, CA. If you would like to meet Violet, please fill out an adoption application on our website www.californiabullyrescue.org/adopt.

Nugget

American Bulldog Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 8 yrs 2 mos
Pleasanton, CA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Nugget is an introvert's best friend! He's medium energy, loves going out for walks and he walks well on leash, is crate trained, and respects established thresholds. He enjoys sunbathing, splooting, rolling around in the grass, chasing the water hose / sprinkler, napping after exercise, and is very food motivated. Nugget is slow to trust - he needs time to get to know you and does best in a calm, structured environment. While Nugs is not a social butterfly, when he bonds with someone he bonds for life. Once he trusts you he turns into a giant cuddle bug who melts when given affection. Nugs is dog friendly, and responds well to slow introductions. If you would like to meet Nugget, please fill out our adoption application on our website www.cabullyrescue.org/adopt Location: Lakewood, CA
