Sutter, Pit Bull Terrier & Shepherd Mix
Sutter is a male pit bull terrier and shepherd mix currently living at the East Bay SPCA's Oakland Adoption Center. His vaccinations are up-to-date, and he’s neutered.
Notes from Sutter’s caretaker:
“Sutter is a pure gold kind of pup. This is a mighty little man with energy to burn. He loves to play chase-and-mock-attack with tennis balls, and he needs a family who can give him lots to do, lots of activity and new things to learn. Right now, like a kindergartner, he's has those feelings from the first day of school when you're nervous, not being sure where to sit, when we eat or even if it's really OK to grab a toy and give it a wild ride. What he needs most is a person he can totally trust, to show him how to be a great dog. Will you be his mentor and guide? Meet sensational Sutter at the East Bay SPCA.”

Notes from Rico’s caretaker:

Simba, Labrador Retriever Mix
Simba is a curious little girl currently living at Unidos Para Los Animales in Kensington, CA. Her vaccinations are up to date, and she’s spayed. She gets along with other dogs, cats, and children.
Notes from Simba’s caretaker:
“*Thump thump thump* Oh good morning! Did my tail wagging wake you? I'm so sorry... it's just that it's the weekend and I thought you might like to spend it with me! You know, snuggling on the sofa, taking a walk in the sunshine, feeding me snacks, that kind of thing. We could do it together. You'd love it. And... well... I'd love it, too.
I am Simba and I just about 6 months old, which is certainly old enough to know my perfect person when you come to find me. I have a LOT of personality and I am very sweet and very smart. I am also an extremely good cuddler and snuggler. I love to play those games where I do things for you when you ask me to (like sitting down), and you feed me delicious snacks and tell me how smart I am. I could play games like that all day. Do you know how to play those games? If not, I can teach you. Did I mention that I am very smart?”

Hobbes is a handsome, muscular and velvety-soft little guy. Treat-motivated, curious, and silly, Hobbes is sure to teach you the best parts of living.
