Ryan is ready for his forever home!

This happy, playful boy first joined us back in October. He’s been waiting far too long for someone to take him home.

He’s 3 years old, dog friendly, and ready to meet you! ❤️🐾

Allow us to reintroduce you to✨ JANICE ✨

Janice has been in our system for a whopping 7 MONTHS. She first came to us on May 4 and has been in a loving foster home hoping to find her forever family. Unfortunately, she is still searching.

Janice is now back at our shelter in the hopes that someone will meet her and fall in love. She is 1 year old, 50 pounds, and dog friendly. Since being back, she's been a little timid, but we know the perfect family is looking for her ❤️🐾

A little thing to brighten your day on this rainy Wednesday 🥰

🎉 Our longest shelter resident: Aaron HAS BEEN ADOPTED 🎉

Aaron has been waiting for a family since the beginning of October - 66 days to be exact. He's 4 years old and can seem shy in his kennel, but he really shines once he is out and about.

He's good with kids, other dogs, and great at riding in the car. He also did fantastic during two adoption events, even though he wasn't able to find his forever home.

If you're looking for a handsome hound to join your family, Aaron is your man. He's ready for his happily ever after ❤🐾

Rufus is ready for love ❤🐾

He's a friendly boy that is most definitely on Santa's good list. This 1-year-old Plott Hound is dog friendly and ready to find his forever home.

❄️ IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR ❄️

Home for the Paw-lidays is back! End the year making a positive impact on an animal's life by fostering for the holidays through Berkeley Animal Center!

🎄 Fostering an animal, even just through the holidays, gives them a much-needed break from the shelter life and gives them a chance to get ready for their forever homes!

🎄 We have kittens, cats, puppies and dogs that need a foster for the holidays. Pick up an animal by December 20 to foster through the holidays. Make sure to take pictures and notes to send back to us! Fosters can be returned December 27 or kept through the new year and returned January 2. (Feel free to keep them forever 🥰)

🎄 All fosters will go out with the supplies needed and have access to a 24/7 Foster Line.

We all could use a little Sunshine ☀️

Sunshine is our adorable stumpy gal who is 11 months old. She's been patiently waiting since October for her forever family to come meet her.

Will you give Sunshine a home for the holidays? Come meet her today at Berkeley Animal Center!

Brad is a 1-year-old lab mix who is the sweetest gentleman! He is dog and car friendly, patient with young kids, great on a leash, and very docile.

Stop by the shelter to meet him today ❤️🐾

❤️ Meet Deacon ❤️

Hi, I’m Deacon! Yes, that Deacon, the dog who thinks he’s a lap dog, even though I’m definitely not small. I’m pretty sure I was meant to be a professional cuddler, because if there’s a couch, I’m there—right on top of you. I’m an expert at lounging and will happily curl up next to you for a good, long snooze.

My favorite things include belly rubs, tail wagging, and the occasional snack (okay, lots of snacks). I am a good boy and am proud to say I am house trained! 😊

I’m friendly with everyone I meet—probably even with squirrels if they’d gave me a chance. When I’m not busy giving you my best puppy eyes, you’ll find me in my happy place: either napping in a sunbeam or attempting to crawl into your lap (yes, even if you’re sitting on the floor).

I may be a bit on the larger side, but don’t let that scare you—I promise I’m 20% fluff and 80% cuddles. If you’re looking for a loyal, goofy cuddle buddy who will never turn down a hug, I’m your guy!

UPDATE: Beaufort has found a home! Thank you for the outpouring support!

🆘HELP US FIND BEAUFORT A HOME 🆘

We are searching for a very patient family for Beaufort. Beaufort is 5 years old, 60 pounds and has been in our facility since October. While this handsome boy is great when you're with him, he has severe separation anxiety. Beaufort can climb 6ft chain link fencing and is an escape artist. He has outsmarted most of our attempts to keep him in a kennel. Currently, Beaufort lives in a reinforced impact crate as that is the only way to keep him contained here. The staff has managed to keep his stress levels down in the crate using medications as directed by a veterinarian and play groups with other dogs. Unfortunately, the medication and play groups are no longer enough and he is becoming kennel stressed. Beaufort has until Saturday, December 14th, to find a home as living in a crate long term is no life for him.

🐾 A perfect home for Beaufort should include a 6-8 ft privacy fence or leash walks multiple times a day, another dog, and no cats. Beaufort would also need an escape-proof kennel to be kept in when unattended.

If you think your home would be a perfect fit for Beaufort, please come to Berkeley Animal Center, Tuesday-Saturday, 1pm-5pm.

❤️ Meet Vienna ❤️

Sweet Vienna gave it her best today. She patiently waited while each one of her puppies got adopted today. I can’t imagine how hard it all must have been for her. She remained so gentle, sweet, and calm the entire event.

We’re so thankful for our fosters! Vienna has a wonderful foster mom who has taken care of her and her babies the last few weeks! No easy task!

Vienna is approximately 1.5 years old & weighs just under 45 lbs.

If you are interested in meeting Vienna, send us a message and we can connect you with her foster mom!
