Hi, I'm Shimmy! I'm ready to shimmy into your lap! I'm a friendly gal but I'll need an experienced owner to help me build my confidence. I will need someone who is familiar with owning more nervous dogs. Since I am still so young I won't be able to be left alone for more than a few hours, so please have a plan in place before bringing me home! I am 7 months old.

Hi, I'm Persephone! Greek goddess with other worldly beauty seeking person to provide ear scratches in exchange for purring and cuddles. Might you be the one? Come down to Berkeley Humane and say hello! Let's begin our legendary love story today! I am 9 years old.

Nice to meet you! I’m Leah. I’m a beautiful gray colored girl with green eyes. Being in the shelter at 18-years-old is just another life experience that I’m taking in stride. They say I’m a senior, but I don’t feel that way! I still have the curiosity of a kitten and enjoy playing with my toys. When you pet me, I swear my purr still sounds like that of a 10-year-old. I’d love to live out the rest of my days in a loving home, won’t you come meet me?

Hi! My name is Wilson! I’m a 1-year-old Pointer mix. I’m full of love and have been told I’m a good boy. I currently live with my foster parents. They write and talk a lot about me – I don’t know what they say – but they always have a smile on their face when they say my name. My favorite things are naps, sniffing everything, walks, sunbathing, playing with toys, and hanging out with nice humans. Do you love me yet? I think I love you. Do this thing called email to foster@sfspca.org to meet me!

Pretzel will be a smart and lively companion. He enjoys chasing toys and snuggling in laps. He walks nicely on leash and is happy to go with you anywhere. He's a bit on the vocal side, so he's not the best choice for apartment living. If you're looking for a little dog who wants to be part of a fun-loving family, meet Pretzel!

Maximus is sweet, affectionate, and a great conversationalist. He enjoys being around people and will want to be a part of all indoor family activities. Maximus is a social eater and will appreciate your company at meal times. His long, thick, luxurious coat will require regular grooming to keep it tangle-free; fortunately, he LOVES to be brushed and combed. What a nice kitty!
