Interested in adopting a pet — or just gazing at some cuddly canines up for adoption? There are dozens of endearing dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around San Jose.
Animal shelters and pet rescue groups 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.
(Details like pet availability, training, vaccinations and other features are based on data provided by Petfinder and may be subject to change; contact the shelter for the latest information.)
Max, German shepherd and border collie mix
Max is a male German shepherd and border collie mix currently residing at Angel's Furry Friends.
Max will get along great with your other dogs. Max would prefer a home without small children. Good news: He is already house-trained. He has been vaccinated and neutered.
Max's current caretakers say:
While Max is a total sweetheart and goofball at home, his leash manners around other dogs on the walk are not polished yet. Max will strive in a home located in a quieter neighborhood since Max could be sensitive to noises as well as new situations, including hallway noises, strong wind, car rides and will need encouragement. Max would love to have a big backyard to play catch with his favorite human.
