Louie, Jack Russell terrier mix
Louie is a sweet male Jack Russell terrier puppy being cared for at California Pit Bull Rescue.
Louie is eager to make friends — he's happy to keep company with other dogs. He is already house-trained. Louie has all his shots.
From Louie's current caretaker:
Louie is an awesome 4-month-old puppy. He is very agile and loves to get the doggies to chase him. He is a very gentle pup, and he loves to cuddle and give sweet kisses. He can go to a home with respectful children over the age of 5. He would be fine with a playful cat. He follows his foster Mom around in hopes she will give him lots of belly rubs and kisses.

Popsicle, Irish terrier mix
Popsicle is a female Irish terrier puppy currently residing at East Bay SPCA- Oakland Adoption Center.
Popsicle has been vaccinated.
Notes from Popsicle's caretakers:
Popsicle is named for a favorite dessert of children everywhere, which kind of fits because she'll remind you of a kindergartner on the first day of school. She may feel a little nervous, not being sure where to sit, when we eat or even where the door might be, but she's ready to give a toy a wild ride. What she needs most is a welcoming lap and a person she can trust to be her kind mentor.

Pikachu, chihuahua and terrier mix
Pikachu is a charming male chihuahua and terrier puppy being kept at People Animals Love and Support (PALS) East Bay.
Pikachu will get along great with kids, dogs or cats. He is already vaccinated.
Pikachu's current caretakers say:
Pikachu and his brother Charizard are 4 months old and came to us from an unsheltered client who was living in her car. They were ill when we received them but are now healthy, happy and love to play. These tiny but mighty pups are both pretty hysterical. They are very well-socialized with dogs of all sizes and have been exposed to cats and kittens.
