Rocky, chihuahua and miniature pinscher mix

Rocky is an adorable male chihuahua and miniature pinscher mix in the care of Silicon Valley Pet Project.

Rocky loves other dogs. Rocky will do best in a home without small children. He is already house-trained. He's already been neutered.

Notes from Rocky's caretakers:

Ever have a bad hair day? Rocky has had many, but thanks to all of the TLC in foster care (lots of medicated bathes), this handsome boy will have a glorious coat very soon. Rocky has the best personality and is just a delight to be around. He loves everyone, big dogs/small dogs and likely would be fine with cats too. Rocky is easy and ready to show off how handsome he is becoming following skin treatment. And the underbite? Just precious! Rocky aspires to have his own Instagram account to show off how handsome and popular he is.

Sable, Tibetan mastiff and Leonberger mix

Sable is a lovable female Tibetan mastiff and Leonberger mix currently residing at Silicon Valley Pet Project.

Sable is the life of the party, and she gets along well with other dogs and cats. She is already house-trained. She's already been spayed.

Here's what Sable's friends at Silicon Valley Pet Project think of her:

She's a whole lot to love! At 100+ pounds, Sable can look intimidating, but mostly she just wants you to rub her tummy. She seems a little worried about men approaching her foster home, so we're looking for a dog-savvy and thoughtful home for her who is knowledgeable of this breed of dog. She gets along well with cats and largely ignores other dogs. She's low-key, non-destructive and housetrained! Busy homes with lots of people coming and going aren't the best fit for her. She's not appropriate for homes with small children. Do you need a mellow and wooly beast to keep you grounded? She may be the pooch for you!

Lucy, Siberian husky and Samoyed mix

Lucy is a darling female Siberian husky and Samoyed mix in the care of Silicon Valley Pet Project.

Lucy is a social animal, and she gets along well with other dogs. She's already been spayed. Good news: She's already house-trained.

From Lucy's current caretaker:

This is gorgeous Lucy! She is a young (about one year old and 56 pounds), energetic beautiful husky who was super kennel stressed at the shelter. She is decompressing in a quiet foster home and will soon be ready to meet adopters who understand the special needs of her breed.
