Interested in adopting a pet — or just taking a peek at some delightful doggies available 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.)
Magi, Labrador retriever and chow chow mix
Magi is a female Labrador retriever and chow chow mix being cared for at Grateful Dogs Rescue.
Magi will do best with an owner who has time to bond with her, and she'll need a home free of other dogs, cats and kids. She is already house-trained, her vaccinations are up-to-date, and she is spayed.
Here's what Magi's friends at Grateful Dogs Rescue think of her:
Magi (pronounced Maj-eye) is a sweet 14-year-old Lab/chow mix looking for a new home. She has been more of an emotional support dog for a disabled person for many years, but her person is no longer able to care for her. Now it is her turn to be taken care of.

During the shelter-in-place order, the rescue is holding only outdoor meets and home checks are being done virtually, according to its website.

Millie is the life of the party — she's happy to keep company with other dogs. Millie is spayed and vaccinated.
Notes from Millie's caretakers:
Millie is an adorable pug/chi mix who is just around 12 months old. She's spunky, social and loves new adventures. She loves hanging out with her person! Millie is crate-trained and ready to find her forever home!

According to its Facebook page, Beyond Rescue is not currently hosting adoption events, but you can still schedule a private meet-and-greet with an available pet in an outdoor location.
Jacob, terrier mix
Jacob is a charming male terrier mix staying at Beyond Rescue.
Jacob loves other dogs, and he's neutered and has had all his shots.
From Jacob's current caretaker:
Jacob is a sweet boy around 1 year old who came to us from the city shelter. Sadly, his owner lost his job and housing. Jacob is a loving and gentle boy. He lived with another dog (Mei Mei on our website!). He would do well with another sibling. He is extremely affectionate and loves to hang out with his people!

Rocco, Labrador retriever
Rocco is a male Labrador retriever dog being kept at Golden Gate Labrador Retriever Rescue.
Rocco will get along great with other dogs. He's neutered, and he has had all his shots.
Here's what Rocco's friends at Golden Gate Labrador Retriever Rescue think of him:
Rocco is a sweet, young pup (3 years old). He loves to play tug-of-war, lay on his bed and get love. He doesn’t bark and likes to follow us around. He is potty-trained and crate-trained. Rocco must be walked on a pinch collar, as he pulls too much without it. He is great on the pinch collar. You must have him focused on you when cars, people, dogs, strollers and kids walk by. He is learning very quickly to let these things pass without lunging, crying and sometimes growling at other dogs.

Prospective adopters can schedule a virtual visit by contacting the rescue group.
Sky, husky
Sky is a sweet female husky in the care of 4 Dogs Farm Rescue.
Sky is a social animal, and she loves other dogs. Sky is already spayed, and she has had all her shots.
Notes from Sky's caretakers:
Meet Sky. This beautiful, sweet and active playful girl will need a home with a fenced-in yard and an active household. Sky is 2 years old and weighs 50 pounds. She is good with children and other dogs. She will need some help with leash training. The perfect home for Skye would be someone that is active and loves to run or hike.

Trixie, terrier
Trixie is a female terrier being kept at Beyond Rescue.
Trixie gets along well with other dogs, but her ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. Her vaccinations are already up-to-date, and she's spayed.
Here's what Trixie's friends at Beyond Rescue think of her:
Trixie is the cutest little short stack at 25 pounds! She is very long and stocky and is a 12-month-old dachshund mix. She can be shy when meeting new people but then warms up and is a total mush.
