Interested in adopting a pet — or just taking a peek at some delightful doggies? There are dozens of endearing dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around San Jose.
Animal shelters work hard to care for unhoused pets and connect them to loving homes. Hoodline used data from Petfinder to power this roundup of dogs currently available for adoption.
Tillie, silky terrier
Tillie is a female silky terrier dog staying at STAR - Support Team Animal Rescue.
Tillie is ready to make friends — she gets along well with other dogs, cats and children. Her vaccinations aren't up to date quite yet, and she hasn't been spayed yet.
From Tillie's caretaker:
Welcome Tillie! Tillie is a Silky Terrier mix that is almost two years old, she is spayed and up to date on shots. Tillie was relinquished to STAR after her elderly owners couldn't take care of her anymore due to health issues. She is your typical young dog: very playful, super sweet, and active. She seems to get along well with everyone. She does need training though. This sweetie needs an active owner or family and some room to play. She would do well with another dog since she’s very playful. Once Tillie's coat has grown out some you will have to plan on daily brushing and regular grooming appointments to keep her tidy.

From Lucky's caretaker:
Meet Lucky, a smart, healthy two year-old pointer/ lab mix who is full of love and energy! Barely out of the puppy stage, sweet Lucky gets along well with dogs of all sizes and adores humans. His favorite things are playing with other energetic pups and hanging out with his family members. Lucky is a happy guy looking for his forever family (foster-to-adopt is also an option) and is sure to be a great, faithful companion. He loves people, and dogs of all sizes. He would make an amazing playmate for your dog. Best in a home with children over 12 years old (due to his energy level). Might you be the family Lucky is waiting to love?

No cats, please: Dolly is looking for a cat-free home.
From Dolly's caretaker:
Hi, my name is Dolly and they estimated me to be Four-years young, and with my girlie figure 60 pounds. I am a gem with the best outlook on life. There are no bad days in Dolly’s world. My foster mommy said that I am short, solid, and super-duper affectionate. Think: fire hydrant with legs. Yeah, that. This female bully-style girl is ready to begin entertaining adoption applications. I am very well behaved in the house and loves attending my weekly obedience class/dog social because there are snacks. Until I land that golden application, I will be squeezed and trained and spoiled by my foster mommy.

Rylie is a female golden retriever and poodle mix currently housed at South Bay Purebred Rescue.
Her vaccinations aren't up to date quite yet, but she's been spayed. She's still working on getting house trained.
Rylie's ideal forever home would be both a cat- and kid-free environment.
From Rylie's caretaker:
Rylie is a one year old female Golden Retriever/ Poodle Mix (“Goldendoodle”). Rylie is a healthy 65 lbs and still has growing to do. She was originally to be trained as a service dog, but didn’t make the cut due to her energy level/lack of focus. She still acts very much like a puppy. We’ll be happy to give more details over the phone, but please do be experienced with large, exuberant dogs if you choose to inquire. Rylie is a nice dog with much potential and but she is too much for a novice owner.
