Interested in adopting a pet — or just taking a peek at some lovable pups up for adoption? There are dozens of great dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Sunnyvale.

Lucas, mountain dog mix

Lucas is a male mountain dog mix staying at Guardian Angels International Rescue.

Lucas is a social animal — he loves other dogs, cats and kids. Lucas is already neutered, and he has had all his shots. Fear not: He is already house-trained.

Notes from Lucas' caretakers:

Lucas is very comfortable and friendly with dogs, cats and kids. Once he is acclimated to the environment and the new owner, you can sure he will be your shadow and follow you everywhere you go. Lucas enjoys his three daily walks and outdoor stimulations everyday. He is very food driven, you can sure get his attention by offering treats. Lucas is so ready for a family he can call his own.

Pita, terrier mix

Pita is a male terrier mix in the care of Copper's Dream Rescue.

He already has had all of his shots, and he's neutered.

Pita's current caretakers say:

Pita is a little shy and timid, but has been opening up at the shelter as he becomes more comfortable, and we expect him to continue to blossom in foster care. He gets along with other dogs, enjoys toys and is treat motivated.

Falafel, terrier mix

Falafel is a male terrier mix currently housed at Copper's Dream Rescue.

He has had all of his shots, and he is neutered.

From Falafel's current caretaker:

Falafel is timid at first, but once he knows you he is a total love-bug and a sweetie. He is playful, affectionate and loyal. He loves to play with his toys, chase around his foster-sister, go for walks, and snuggle or sleep in my lap. Very affectionate dog who is both people and dog-oriented. Would do best in a home with a similarly-sized dog as a companion, playmate and to learn from. He would enjoy a home with someone who works from home and who is home nearly all the time.
