Story
What ho! Who might this distinguished gentleman with a goofy grin be? It’s Zeus, the lanky Pittie mix who carries himself like a track star and mingles like a party host. Initially a little shy, this sweet boy turns into a sloppy kisser after a moment of chat and a scritch on the bum. He likes the wee dogs as much as his muscular peers, ready to share a dog bed the size of a dinner plate with whomever happens along. He’s a smart guy with good manners; a solid sidekick with love and loyalty to share. Come get a kiss and leave with a friend for life. Here's some notes from her foster: He's been incredibly sweet, gentle and loving. He has come over and given me and my husband a bunch of kisses and seems to just want to relax on something comfy for the most part. Zeus gets excited to go on walks and when we took him for a walk, he went to the bathroom. He also seems to want to mark his territory by rubbing himself against the furniture, couch and bed, which is cute and silly. He loves food and eats great takes his meds like a champ and is very food motivated. Zeus loves to explore the backyard. I just love so much! His personality is really coming out. He is very chatty and super food motivated. He loves his hoodie and he gets cold and loves to be cozy and warm. Is cool playing with toys. He was found laying and thrashing around in the bed and pillows. Which is amazing and adorable lol He also love taking walks around the neighborhood and backyard with little bro. Zeus's presence is very calming and sweet and we love having him in our home.

Story
Summer days will never end with this carefree pup by your side. 3-year-old Summer likes long walks, splashing in the water, and rolling in the grass. She also likes nibbling on toys, sniffing new smells, and keeping close tabs on her beloved tennis ball. She ignores other dogs in passing but does not like them in close quarters. * Loving personality * Very playful * Adults-only forever home * No other pets in home Here's what Summer's foster mom had to say: * Very sweet! Leans in for scratches. * LOVES balls. She’s great at running during a game of fetch, but hasn’t learned to give the ball back. She’d prefer to chew on it! * Like many salon-phobic pets, she's not crazy about having her paws touched. You'll get a polite little warning snap. Come meet Summer at 1590 Fortmann Way in Alameda any day but Monday and Tuesday from noon to 4PM.

Story
Do you suffer from social anxiety? Maybe you can relate to Cusco, a dog so painfully shy he would rather run than meet new people! "It's pure panic," says our trainer Leah, about his reaction to prospective adopters. "Fleeing on leash, lunging and yanking trying to get away." And yet Cusco is just the best pup, once over that initial hurdle, a warm and loving dog wanting to play, snuggle, and make eyes at you. He loves playing with his trusted dog friends. Here's what his foster mom had to say about Cusco: "We got to have Cusco stay with us for a week, and he’s such a sweet boy! During the day, he liked to play with our other dog, and they ripped up a few toys together. In the evenings, he loved to cuddle on the couch and with our other dog if she would join us. At night, he slept in his crate, and we didn’t hear a peep! He warmed up to me really quickly but was still a little frightened of my husband. Our dog gets jealous, and he was very easygoing with her. Any loud sounds in the house would send him running, but he didn’t have any issues on our walks. He’s going to be such a great family member when he finds his people. He will take a little bit to feel comfortable, but it’s worth the effort!" Cusco's Cheat Sheet: * Skittish around strangers, loud noises * Wriggly, friendly and happy-go-lucky with familiar people * Adults-only home ideal but mature teens ok * Has separation anxiety; needs crate training. * Likes other friendly dogs he's allowed to get to know * No cats FAAS's free canine behavior training classes can help Cusco reach his full potential. Free classes come with his adoption. Once he finds his groove with you, we're certain Cusco will overcome his fears. Bring your big friendly dog with you to meet him at our 1590 Fortmann Way location any afternoon but Mondays or Tuesdays and get started on an incredibly rewarding adventure!

Story
Energetic, loving, and goofy 9-year-old Ella is super sweet but needs a family with an experienced dog owner. A little under 2ft tall and 40 lbs, she's sleek and muscular. Ella is fully house-trained and very patient with the three cats she lives with. She's never lived with kids but is generally chill with the children in the neighborhood. 
 She loves her toys, playing fetch, tug of war games, following you around the house, and of course, napping. Ella wants to be involved in whatever you're doing and is alert to someone coming to the door. She is highly food motivated, Ella picks up new tricks quickly but can be stubborn and easily distracted, so she needs lots of consistent positive reinforcement to maintain behavioral changes. She has many opinions and she will let you know about them. 
 Ella also plays well with other dogs, although sometimes she has issues with dogs larger than she is, but is good at de-escalating potential conflicts. Ella really loves company so if her new people are gone for a full work day she will need a canine companion. She's leash trained and always excited to jump in the car to visit the park. Ella is a great dog looking for a home where she is loved and cherished. Would you be the one for her?" Ella is now being fostered in Oakland, CA and her adoption fee is $275.00 Arrangements to meet our dogs occur after an application has been received. Please contact us at dogzonerescue@yahoo.com for more information about this great gal or for an application to adopt.
