Interested in adopting a pet — or just looking at some cuddly canines up for adoption? There are dozens of darling dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around San Francisco. Some shelters in the Bay Area have temporarily closed or reduced their hours amid the coronavirus pandemic, so if you are interested in an available pet, contact the animal rescue for its current adoption process.
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.)

Chloe's current caretakers say:
Chloe is a sweet lady who carries herself in a calm manner. She is a mellow dog who likes to chill and cuddle throughout the days. She likes to lay and soak in the sun. She also seems to really enjoy the company of other dogs. Chloe was found as a stray, so her history is a mystery, and so far, Chloe hasn't been in many social situations, but so far so good.

Are you looking for a mellow, loving little lap-warmer with a dash of derp? Little Gemmylou is looking for you!

Gem is a great listener, has good reflexes for keeping her tiny self out of trouble and is picking up quickly on the new routine. She doesn't seem to have had much experience in the outside world but is very tolerant of new circumstances.
