Reggie, Pekingese mix

Reggie is a male Pekingese mix currently housed at Schwartz Family Animal Welfare Foundation.

Reggie gets along well with other dogs. He's been vaccinated and neutered. He is already house-trained.

Reggie's current caretakers say:

Reggie is a six-year-old Pekingese/Spaniel mix that is Mr. Personality. He is very playful, loves to go for walks and every time he sees a leash he’s hopping up-and-down and ready to go. He is great with other dogs and would enjoy having a playmate in his new home. His new home should either have another dog as a companion or a stay-at-home parent. Reggie is companion-oriented and it would not be fair to leave him alone for 10 hours a day as an only-dog while you work. He knows how to use the doggie door and is crate-trained. We are are uncertain as to how he would be with little kids, so children over the age of eight should be fine.

Lucca is the life of the party — she'll get along great with your cats, dogs and kids. Her vaccinations are up to date, and she's spayed. She's mastered her house-training etiquette.

Here's what Lucca's friends at STAR - Support Team Animal Rescue think of her:

Lucca is a Husky mix that's about 10 months old. She was relinquished into our rescue after her owners broke up their relationship. Lucca is a mellow girl that loves to hang out or go for walks. She is great on leash and is house-trained, crate-trained and knows her basic commands. Lucca is great with everyone and everything. This sweet girl will make a great companion for any household.

Klaus, German shepherd

Klaus is a male German shepherd dog being cared for at Angel's Furry Friends.

Klaus gets along well with other dogs. He is already house-trained. He has been vaccinated and neutered.

Here's what Klaus' friends at Angel's Furry Friends think of him:

Meet Klaus, our latest adorable rescue. He was surrendered by his adopting family to San Jose animal shelter for chasing their cat when introduced off-leash. Klaus ended on the kill list, so we stepped in to save this guy, who by all accounts has blossomed from a very scared and timid stray to a trusting and faithful dog. He is still shy at first, but will attach himself to you as soon as he determines you mean him no harm. Treats are very persuasive. He’ll be leaning on you and asking for love in no time. He is leash and house-trained, well-behaved and does not bark. He is calm, gentle and playful, without being bothersome and loves going on walks. He is a great companion dog. He mixes well with large dogs, his reaction to smaller dogs has not yet been evaluated and he does not like cats. He is looking for his new best friend and ready for adoption.

Lucky, pointer and Labrador retriever mix

Lucky is a sweet male pointer and Labrador retriever mix being kept at One Planet Rescue.

Lucky plays well with others, and he'll get along great with other dogs. He has all of his shots and he's neutered. He's mastered his house-training etiquette.

Here's what Lucky's friends at One Planet Rescue think of him:

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 super smart, eager to please and learns quickly. 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. Did we say he loves other dogs and people he meets? 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?

Dolly, American Staffordshire terrier mix

Dolly is a charming female American Staffordshire terrier mix staying at Group Education to Protect and Defend Animals.

Dolly will get along great with your other dogs. She is looking for cat-free family. She's vaccinated and spayed. She has mastered her house-training etiquette.

Here's what Dolly's friends at Group Education to Protect and Defend Animals think of her:

Hi, my name is Dolly and they estimate me to be four-years young, and with my girlie figure at 60 pounds. I am a gem with the best outlook on life. There are no bad days in Dolly’s world. Snorty, sweet, goofy and just plain adorable. 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 love attending my weekly obedience class/dog social because there are snacks. I am a total keeper with low/medium energy who cares more about following you around than anything. Sofa time, sunbathing, easy walks, belly scratches and soaking up attention are my favorite hobbies. Responsive to training and just the right mix of confidence.

Buster, Rottweiler mix

Buster is a male Rottweiler mix staying at STAR - Support Team Animal Rescue.

Buster gets along well with other dogs. Buster has been vaccinated. He is already house-trained.

Buster's current caretakers say:

Buster is a handsome, charming boy with big soulful eyes and a heart of gold. He is very affectionate, loves attention and enjoys human company. Buster will be a great companion dog, loyal and dedicated to you. Buster came to us when his original foster mom's home was destroyed in a fire. Buster would enjoy training classes, a good routine and would love a family or person who would include him in activities. He is crate-trained and is pretty housebroken once he gets the routine down. He loves to play with his foster sister and all his toys. Buster is looking for that forever home with people who know that dogs are not disposable.
