Name: Chipper
Mix/Breed: German Shorthair Pointer
Sex/Age/Weight: Male, 7 years, 60 LBS
Health: Neutered. Up to date on shots. For additional health information, contact the agency listed below.
History/Personality: Chipper is a handsome 7 year old neutered male GSP whose previous owners chose not to pay the money to reclaim him from the shelter. Their loss! Chipper's foster mom says he's one of the best dogs she's ever fostered! He is getting sweeter and sweeter. His ears are like velvet, he has a lovely soft coat, and one of his favorite things is belly rubs! He sits like a gentleman, loves to go places in the car, and loves his ball--apparently more than treats! "Go get your ball" is a trick he has learned recently. Chipper is in good health, housetrained, crate trained. He's an energetic guy who would be lots of fun to live with. He'll adapt to your routine, is able to be home alone, and would make a great dog for the working person. No cats, please.

Name: Derby
Breed: German Shorthair Pointer
Sex/Age/Weight: Male/10 - 12 years/60 pounds
Health: Neutered. Up to date on shots. For additional health information, contact the agency listed below.
History/Personality: Derby is a sweet old German Shorthaired Pointer, looking for someone to adopt him.
He'll be a great pet for an older person, to be a companion and a friend. He does not require long walks,
but will appreciate a short visit to your local dog park. He goes to the park for training and exercise every day and he now has a new spring in his steps. He loves to cuddle and to be spoiled. He's great with people and dogs, and would love to catch a cat if he could. Derby would enjoy another dog in the family but would also do well as an only dog. Children 6 and up.

Name: Buster
Breed: German Shorthair Pointer
Sex/Age/Weight: Male/10 years/60 pounds
Health: Neutered. Up to date on shots. For additional health information, contact the agency listed below.
History/Personality: Buster is an elder statesman that is settling in well in his foster home. This sweet
fellow is quite calm and loves to be with you. He's house trained, crate trained, knows basic commands, and is great with other dogs (but has not been cat-tested). Because of arthritic changes in his rear legs, he'll make a great companion for someone interested in a less rambunctious GSP!

Name: Kingo
Mix/Breed: Lab mix
Sex/Age/Weight: Male, 8.5 years, 60 lbs.
Health: Neutered. Up to date on shots. For additional health information, contact the agency listed below.
History/Personality: I am an 8 years old Lab/Hound mix male but you wouldn't know it from my energy level. I can still run and play like a pup. I would love an active house where I could be the only dog. I absolutely adore human attention. Nothing sounds better to me than a good long walk and an even longer belly rub or snuggle session. I really don't like dog parks and prefer to just hang with my humans so a big backyard would be great. I have been doing very well with all of my commands and I know, sit, down, relax and even shake! One on one obedience work with my human companion is just a little slice of heaven for me. If you have room in your heart for a new best friend in the form of a big ol' snuggler like me, please stop by and reference #A367691.
Adoption Fee: $70.00

Name: Owen
Mix/Breed: Lab / Border Collie mix
Sex/Age/Weight: Male, 9.5 years, 60 lbs.
Health: Neutered. Up to date on shots. For additional health information, contact the agency listed below.
History/Personality: I walk really nicely on my leash, which is handy because I love to go for long walks. I know some of my basic commands, like Watch Me and Sit, but I need more help to get all the other commands. I have spent most of my life on my own, so I do need some socializing, but I am very friendly to both people and other dogs. Come and see just how good the oldies can be. My reference is A144785.
Adoption Fee: $70.00

Name: Odessa
Mix/Breed: Golden Retriever mix
Sex/Age/Weight: Female, 9 years, 55 lbs.
Health: Spayed. Up to date on shots. In excellent health as of last veterinary exam, April 2005.
History/Personality: Odessa is a beautiful, 9-year-old, female Golden Retriever mix (not sure what she is mixed with). She is very friendly and affectionate. She definitely loves to be around people and is easily part of the family. Odessa is completely house-trained. She has the vitality of a dog much younger than nine. She likes a lot of attention, loves people and kids (and other dogs), and likes to play. With her sweetness and intelligence, she would be an ideal dog for just about any family. She is also very low maintenance. Her current family has made the painful decision to give her up due to housing difficulties. They would be happy to continue to supply dog food, flea medication, and bladder medication (which effectively and totally controls a minor bladder problem).
Adoption Fee: Negotiable to the right home.
Agency/Location/Contact info: Call Daniella. Phone: (650)571-9071. Note: Odessa is still living with her family, but has been evaluated by an experienced rescue person. You may also wish to contact the rescue person by E-mail: juliewiles@oddpost.com
