Name: Daisy
Mix/Breed: Pit Mix
Sex/Age/Weight: Female, 9 years, approx 60 lbs.
Health: Spayed. Up to date on shots. For additional health information, contact the agency listed below.
History/Personality: Several months ago I was contacted by Mr. M., an elderly gentleman, about placing Daisy and her brother Tiger. They belonged to his late wife, and are one of the few things keeping him going. Due to the actions of some uncaring younger family members he has to leave his home and move to a new location where dogs of this size are not allowed. I have had them listed on Petfinder for a time but, not too surprisingly, there was not much interest. We also provided some financial support; without our assistance he would have been unable to buy food for them. Daisy is a 9 year old Pit mix, who is one of the sweetest dogs you can imagine. She is bonded to her friend Tiger, a 4-5 year old Boxer mix. They are not recommended with cats, but other than that are joys to have around. They are playful, yet easygoing. They are both neutered, housebroken, and up to date on meds. We would prefer they be adopted together, to honor the wishes of Mr. M.'s wife. I realize that placing these dogs is challenging, to say the least. Additionally, we are a small rescue, with no available foster space, so they need to be adopted quickly. However, Mr. M.'s story was so moving that we wanted to make the extra effort. The only other alternative at this point is the County shelter, which automatically euthanizes this breed. Thank you for your time.
Adoption Fee: Negotiable

Name: Lucky
Mix/Breed: Terrier/Bearded Collie mix
Sex/Age/Weight: Male, 11 years, 45 lbs.
Health: Neutered. Up to date on shots. Microchipped. For additional health information, contact the agency listed below.
History/Personality: Lucky is a not-so-lucky dog. After 11 years as a presumably faithful friend, he was abandoned at the Pinole Shelter because his family was "moving." Lucky had about a zero chance of adoption at the shelter, and he was due to be euthanized on 1/25/05. He got a stay of execution for a few hours until we could pick him up. He then was supposed to go to a foster home, but after just being out of the shelter and meeting the fosterer's dog on leash, he snarled and blew that opportunity. He almost went back to the shelter, but his rescuer couldn't do it. Since then he has met several dogs off leash, and spent the past year living with seven other dogs in his foster home, and he is doing fine. Some very brief growling sometimes, but nothing major, and some dorky attempts at playing. He has let his rescuer groom him, clean his ears, scrape his teeth some...he is a wonderful, shaggy dog who will make a great companion. He acts about five, and has lots of energy to go out for walks around town! Please consider this great, Benji-like older gentleman for your companion! No one can believe he is 11, but however old he is, he is young at heart and glad to be alive, and deserves his own loving home!
Adoption Fee: $150.00

Name: Snooks
Mix/Breed: Black Lab Mix
Sex/Age/Weight: Female, 10½ yrs, 42 lbs.
Health: Spayed. Rabies/Distemper- 9/05 - For add'l health info contact person listed below:
History/Personality: Snooks, a very lively dog, likes to run, roller skate, ride in the car and take long walks. She's in excellent physical condition and has a trim figure. Her half floppy ears swing up and down when she walks; her black tongue is her only chow attribute. She's gentle, healthy, and sweet and knows basic commands. Her owner, a personal friend, died in December. This "people dog" is affectionate and likes to sleep on my bed. She's well trained and articulate about her needs. Snooks is fine with other dogs but she'd be better off in a home without cats.

Name: Maxwell
Mix/Breed: Pug
Sex/Age/Weight: Male, 10 years, 21 lbs.
Health: Neutered. Up to date on shots. For additional health information, contact the agency listed below.
History/Personality: Maxwell is a 10 year old male pug who found himself in a shelter until PROS came to his rescue. He is blind and deaf and was not well taken care of. Maxwell has an ear infection and had 11 teeth pulled and is now on soft food. He has been neutered and had his shots and is ready to go to his retirement home. Max gets along well with everyone including other pugs and you'd have trouble realizing he's blind, he adjusted to his new foster home immediately and uses the doggy door to go in and out. Maxwell is another of our wonderful Senior Pugs that needs a wonderful home. Pugs can live a long time so Maxwell can still have many good years left. Please open your heart and mind to a wonderful little old man.
Adoption Fee: $100.00

Name: Sonny
Mix/Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier/Hound mix
Sex/Age/Weight: Male, 6-7 years, 50 lbs.
Health: Neutered.
History/Personality: This handsome guy gets the reward for best belly slides! Although initially quiet and reserved, as Sonny gets to know you his silly, affectionate personality becomes obvious. He enjoys retrieving, and sniffing everything he can during a walk. On a leash he is quite manageable with other dogs, but we think he'd do best as "your only guy".

Name: Daisy Duke
Mix/Breed: Pug
Sex/Age/Weight: Female, 7 years, 18 lbs.
Health: Spayed. Up to date on shots. For additional health information, contact the agency listed below
History/Personality: Little Daisy is a very sweet, very confused little 7 year old, fawn female with SARDS. SARDS is a disease that strikes a dog almost instantly blind and causes confusion and disorientation. It is also the reason she was most probably dumped by her owners in a shelter but PROS rescued her and she's now settling into her foster home. Her blindness is permanent, there is no cure and there are no medications to help. She is very healthy otherwise but SARDS symptoms take months to go away. Daisy would feel happiest in an only dog home or with one other dog, no children, no stairs and a lot of understanding about her condition.
Adoption Fee: $100.00

Name: Sassy
Mix/Breed: Pug
Sex/Age/Weight: Female, 10 years, 20 lbs.
Health: Spayed. Up to date on shots. For additional health information, contact the agency listed below.
History/Personality: Sassy is a 10 year old, spayed female. She is in very good health but does have arthritis in her back. She requires Glucosamine which has resolved the stool incontinence she came to us with. Sassy just loves everyone and all the other dogs in her foster family. She even loves children. Sassy is so sweet and easy going, loves walks even though her eyesight isn't great given her age and just wants a lap to lay in. She's a very happy girl and just needs someone to look beyond the years and see the wonderful Pug within

The Alameda Animal Shelter is a small, city-run shelter. The shelter's volunteers work very hard to make sure the dogs, cats and rabbits get the exercise and attention they need to remain healthy and happy during their stay with us. Because Alameda has an older population, many of the animals are surrendered to the shelter because their guardians are no longer able to care for them.
