Lupo is a 5 year old, 66 pound neutered male German Shepherd with a big heart and an urgent need for a new home. He recently lost his guardian when she was hospitalized and transitioned into assisted living, leaving Lupo without the only family he's ever known. Despite this sudden upheaval, Lupo remains a friendly, affectionate dog who greets new people with enthusiasm and loves spending time with those around him. He is house trained, crate trained, and knows basic commands, though he's still catching up on manners. Lupo is very food motivated and eager to please, making him a great candidate for continued training. He gets along well with medium and large dogs but is too excited about cats and may be too energetic for small children, as he could easily knock them over without meaning to. Lupo is looking for an experienced, active adopter who can give him the structure, patience, and love he deserves.

If Lupo sounds like the pup for you please reach out to Caitlin at [email protected] or by phone at 617-407-1674

Oliver (A#1367812) is a 3 year old pittie and a total favorite among staff and volunteers at the City of San Jose Animal Care Center. This sweet, affectionate boy has been at the shelter since December 2024, and like so many incredible dogs in our overcrowded city shelters, he's struggling with the stress of long days in a kennel. At his kennel door, you might see Oliver pacing or barking, behaviors that can come from feeling overwhelmed and isolated. But outside of the kennel? That's where Oliver shines!

Thanks to regular outings with his amazing friends at Coffee Companions, they've seen Oliver's true personality: calm, loving, and social with both people and other dogs. He's just waiting for the right family to give him a chance to decompress and thrive in a home environment.

Salem is a beautiful and sweet 5ish year old Pit Bull mix, 64lbs and spayed, who is looking for her forever home. Crate, collar, leash, bed, etc included if wanted. She's smart and silly. She loves walks, playtime, and hanging out on the couch. She's a huge fan of a squeaker crocodile toy and will fetch but not always bring the ball back.

She needs to be with an experienced dog owner who has been around special needs dogs. Once you understand her and her needs she's amazing. She sleeps all night (prefers the couch in the living room to her bed) and is very quiet. She is afraid of the dark so a night light is good and I also keep my bedroom door open just in case. If you are looking for a constant companion who will love you to death but has some PTSD, then Salem is your girl. She needs an adopter who will be patient and kind. She is so easy to love and deserves to be loved back.
