Interested in adopting a pet — or just taking a peek at some delightful doggies up for adoption? There are dozens of great dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around San Francisco.

Cebia, Rhodesian ridgeback and rottweiler mix

Cebia is a lovable male Rhodesian ridgeback and rottweiler mix currently residing at Rocket Dog Rescue.

Cebia loves other dogs, but his ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. He would also prefer a home without small children. His vaccinations are up-to-date, and he's neutered. Fear not: He is already house-trained, too. 

Here's more about Cebia:

I’m only 1.5 years old, but I’ve already had a lot of adventures. I was rescued by a student in Mexico after I got hit by a car (worry not, the vets said I would make a full recovery, and I have). She took me in and helped me start learning the ropes of living with a family and in a home. I’ve become pretty good at it, too. After that, I was brought to the U.S. to find a permanent home.

Foxie, husky and mountain dog mix

Foxie is a male husky and mountain dog mix being kept at Asians for Humans Animals and Nature.

Foxie plays well with others, and he'll get along great with your other dogs. He already has had all of his shots, and he is neutered and house-trained.

Here's more about Foxie:

My native dad is a beautiful husky, and my mommy is a mixed stray. My siblings and I were born in a rural area full of unfriendly humans. To protect us, my young and inexperienced mommy had to nurse seven of us and hide away from dangerous incidents from time to time.

What a great dog! Truly, the person who owned Sarge is missing out on such a great dog. He does not know much, but he is eager to learn. He will sit for a treat, he rides well in the car, he loves toys and tennis balls, and he gets along with other dogs.
