This little guy Biscotti has made a lot of progress since coming to the shelter with his Cookie pals. He is ready to head out to his forever family. He is still a shy guy but he loves to chill and snuggle with our staff.

Potential adopters please note that these pups from the hoarding situation are still somewhat fearful and they are not house trained. They will require a lot of patience, understanding and a willingness to work with them. They would do best in a home without small children.

If you feel you would like to adopt Biscotti, please email the shelter to set up a meet and greet. In your email please give a description of your household and why you would be a good fit for Biscotti. Also, please complete the online application on our website.

Biscotti’s adoption fee includes vaccinations, flea treatment, deworming, microchip and neuter surgery.

What do you think? Is Stitch just the cutest pup or is he Experiment 626? Or both?? Our guy Stitch came in last week as a stray and he was not claimed by his owner. So now this adorable Frenchie mix is on the lookout for his forever ohana.

As you can see in the photos Stitch is a devastatingly handsome little dude but he does have cherry eye. Cherry eye will require veterinary treatment down the line.

Stitch is very well behaved and affectionate. He has gotten along with all the people he has met and been tolerant of other dogs.

His adoption fee includes vaccinations, flea treatment, microchip, deworming, and neuter surgery. Contact the shelter and make an appointment to meet Stitch. Email [email protected] or call 206-812-2737.
