Meet Luna, this sweet girl is a 3 years old 16lb Cavalier King Charles Spaniel/mix and has the softest coat. This girl has been through quite a lot. Luna was found as a stray dog and end up at the shelter. The shelter placed her in a temporary foster home that had another dog to get her out of the shelter environment. Then we moved her to the Bay Area to get her spayed and she was placed in a foster home with multiple big and small dogs. Luna is great with all dogs big and small. She is a super sweet and friendly girl. She is gentle with kids and love getting all the affection. Shortly after Luna got spayed, she got adopted by an older guy who lived by himself. We thought that was her forever home. But two days later, we got a phone call that the guy wants to return her because he couldn't even handle the simplest training like potty training. So, we had to place her in a temporary foster home for a few days until her original foster took her bac.
In such a short amount of time poor girl has been moved around so much. Luna needs stability- a committed and patient owner. She has so many great qualities- super sweet, friendly, gentle, great with dogs kids and cats, walks well on leash. Zero aggression or reactivity on leash. Her current foster mom is working on crate training and potty training with her. Luna is doing great with crate training and sleeps in there quietly. Her foster mom got her on a potty schedule and she is doing great with the routine. Luna loves going out for walks but she is not a high energy dog. She loves to Netflix and cuddle at home after a nice walk. Over the weekend, her foster mom took her to the city to have lunch and she was a champ walking the busy streets. She was a very polite outdoor dining guest.
If you are looking for a very friendly and sweet girl, then come meet Luna.

Luna is being foster in Oakland. Email us to meet her and fill out the adoption application at- https://agirlsbestfriendrescue.com/adopt/

I can not believe this girl isn’t adopted yet! Please share her 🙏🙏

Meet Biscuit! This adorable girl is around 1 years old and 30lb. We think she is a Pug mix. She is the perfect dog if you like Pugs, Frenchies, Boston Terriers, except this girl doesn't have breathing issues because her face isn't super smooshed in. This girl won't have health issues than those purebreds.
Biscuit is doing well with potty training and crate training; she sleeps in the crate through the night and does not make a p*ep. She is a quiet dog, not a barker. Biscuit is currently in a foster home with multiple big and small dogs. She is great with all of them. She frequents the dog park regularly and she loves going up to strangers to get all the pets. She is great with all people and has no problem going up to strangers to ask for love. She is just so darn sweet!!!
Biscuit rides well in the car, she does not get car sick. Biscuit is a pretty chill girl, she is mellow at home and loves to just lounge around. She is the perfect companion for Netflix and chill. She is a gentle dog and has pretty good manners, she is doing great with not a being jumper (which is a huge bonus).

Do not wait to put in your application! This girl will get snatched up in a minute! Some of our dogs will get adopted within a week.

Biscuit is being foster in Oakland, to meet her please fill out our adoption application that is on our website-

Meet Amos! This boy is around 1 years old and 15lb. Amos is good with other dogs and kids. Potty trained. It takes a second for him to warm up to strangers but once you start giving him pets, he will keep licking your fingers to show affection. He is a sweet and shy boy. In the short time he has been in his foster home, he has already learned to walk up and down the stairs and use the doggy door to go outside to potty. He is a smart boy! Amos love going on walks to explore the neighborhood and then coming home to just hangout and cuddle. Amos is very food driven and learns fast. The outside world is still scary to Amos so he needs someone patient. Amos is looking for a home in the suburbs with a yard, he is not a city boy (loud noises scare him). He is an introvert at heart. Amos is very loyal and does have some separation anxiety so he needs someone patient to work on that with him. Will that person be you?

Amos is being foster in Oakland. If you would like to meet him, please fill out the adoption application on our website- https://agirlsbestfriendrescue.com/adopt/

Tibby is available for adoption through our friends over at Northern California Border Collie Rescue! To inquire for more info about Mr.Tibbs, please apply and check him out on their website:
https://norcalbcrescue.org/
📧: [email protected]

TIBBY 🤍 (Mr.Tibby)
32lbs, 7/8 month old, Border Collie Mix with the cutest spotted ears that go for days! Tibby gets along very well with other dogs and would be best placed in a home with other dogs. He is playful and will chase cats, but he does not hurt them so he could live in a house with very dog savvy cats. His favorite thing in the world is playing with his foster pack mates Marlin and Perkins. Tibby likes to wrestle, so zoomies, and rough house which matches the bigger boys he plays with to a tee. Some dogs may not like his style of play but he also takes correction/ warning well from other dogs and will back off. Tibbs is the sweetest, most affectionate dog with the people he is bonded to, but he can be shy when meeting new people and let out some barks. He does gain confidence from being with other dogs, so having another fur sibling in his forever home will help him a lot.

Tibby is a medium to high energy boy who would do best with an active family. He is starting to take interest in a ball as long as it’s moving anyway 😆 but he will chase the dog who is chasing the ball. He loves plush or chew toys and a good game of tug. He only chews on appropriate things and is not destructive. Tibby is house and crate trained and rides fine in the car when crated or tethered to a secure harness.

Mr. Tibbs is a sweet boy who needs someone with a gentle touch, some extra patience and willingness to work with him to be more confident! 🤍

Tibbs is being fostered north of Corning in Tehama County, CA.

Attention: FOSTERS NEEDED

So.... have you heard 👂 about the new kid on the block? Tell me what's cuter, her ears or her spotted little toesies 🐾

Pepper is mutt (lab/collie/shepard/pit mix). She is around 4 months old, crate and p*e pad trained. We are eliminating pads and starting potty training strictly in the backyard. Pepper is a very sweet and very chill puppy. She would immediately lay down once you put her inside her crate.

She loves humans and gets along with dogs. She has the cutest butt wiggle when she meets you and greets you with lots of kisses. Hope you like slobber! She loves getting pets but if you haven't noticed those big old ears of hers, she also loves getting ear rubs. 😆 She loves to play tug and follow you around the house.

Pepper is food motivated, loving, and sweet. She would thrive with continuous training, structure, and an experienced owner to continue to help her be the best puppy girl!

Pepper is ready to meet you, this girl is all ears. For your application to be considered, please go on our website to fill out an application and email your application along with the required documents and home check videos.

FOSTERS NEEDED

Calling out for fosters! We are in urgent need of fosters as the shelters are filling up and have to make the tough choice of euthanizing dogs to make room. Some dogs are sharing kennels just so they can buy them some extra time. We will need some fosters as soon as Sunday 7/24. Even temporarily to get them out until we can secure a more permanent foster home.

Please go over to our website to fill out a foster application for review.

Please share with anyone who may be able to help in the SF/Oakland area.

Grateful for our AGBF Family 🙏

Fancy, 6 years old, 10lbs - Maltipoo

Feast your eyes on our very sweet, very mellow and calm girl, Fancy. Not only is she crate and potty trained she is good with cats and dogs. She is low maintenance and all she wants is love. She needs a home with a yard as the concept of a leash is so new to her that she will not potty on a leash, yet. She needs a patient owner to love her and give her time to warm up to them. She is shy and submissive, quiet and not a nuisance barker. She great with taking the bus, in a carrier or out of a carrier. Very well behaved and can go grocery shopping in a carrier. She sits still, loves to be out and about, rides well in the car and walks well on leash! She good with other animals. Very patient. All in all, she is a great companion dog and would be even better if there is another well behaved resident doggo to share the home with. This sweet baby deserves the best home. Please share and show her some love!

Fancy is being fostered in San Francisco, CA. To meet this pretty girl, please go on our website (www.agirlsbestfriendrescue.com) to fill out the application and send all the required documents and home check videos for your application to be considered. Submit your application here:

REY- 2months old, currently at 8lbs
(Possible terrier/chi/pit/collie mix)

Meet Rey! She is confident, playful, smart, and super sweet. When she gets out of her puppy pen, all she wants is to smother you with love before getting the zoomies around the yard. She loves to play with her foster brother and you can frequently find her belly up rolling around out of happiness. Rey is smart and has already learned to sit and stare at you when she wants something 😂. She is very food motivated so training this pup will be fun! With continued training, exposure, and socialization, she is going to be the perfect doggy companion. Miss Rey is still a ball of sweet puppy energy (she really enjoys her zoomies) 😝 Rey should go to an active family with a yard where she can eventually (after all of her vaccinations) go on many adventures with you 🌄

Before you apply for a puppy, please consider if you have the time and resources for one. Are you ready to make time in the wee hours of the morning and evening let your puppy potty? Dog parenting means dealing with all kinds of icky stuff— drool, vomit and lots of p*e and p**p! Puppies are expensive! From their dog food, to their dog toys, training, to their vet bills and any other unexpected costs, dogs will carry considerable expenses with them from puppyhood throughout their lives. If you're ready to commit to the lifetime of these pups, please take a moment to fill out our adoption application.

Rey is being fostered in Oakland, CA. To meet this cutie pie, please go on our website (www.agirlsbestfriendrescue.com) to fill out the adoption application and **send all the required documents and home check videos for your application to be considered.** Submit your application here:

FOSTERS NEEDED!

Loving foster homes are the backbone of any rescue organization. They are families just like yours that provide a safe, temporary home for rescued pets to rest, recuperate and prepare to meet their forever families. The dogs in foster care benefit greatly from love and attention and living in a home environment, and sometimes for some rescued pets, it may be a first time in a home environment! Let's help get these babies out of the shelter. Foster to make a difference and save a life!

To apply to become a foster, please go on our website for more info: www.agirlsbestfriendrescue.com

Ross, 10mo, 38lbs - Lab Mix

Ross is a sweet and gentle pup who loves love. He is a bit hesitant around new faces and places but warms up quickly. He is a very calm puppy who is just as happy playing with other dogs as he is by himself with a squeaky toy. He thinks he's a lap dog and will happily climb into your lap for some cuddles. Ross loves napping and will often just plop down wherever he is and try to take a nap even in the middle of a walk. 😝 He is fully crate trained and we are still working on potty training but with frequent potty breaks he has little to no accidents. A regular potty schedule will get him there in no time! He is quick to learn and eager to please so with more consistent and structured training he will be the best behaved pup!!!

Ross is being fostered in San Jose, CA

Lola, 1.5yo, ~42lbs

Lola is as sweet as pie and loves to be around her people. She is the most mellow husky I have met. She is not a barker and she loves to sleep on the floor next to her fosters daughters bed. She was a little timid of the leash at first but once she get it on she loves to go for walks. She does seem to have a little issue with separation anxiety but when she has another doggie around she is fine.

Meet Kash! ~1yo, 50lbs, pit mix
This handsome sweet boy is so smart, is potty trained and is crate trained. He is great with big and small dogs, rides well in the car, and has the sweetest temperament and disposition. Kash is very affectionate and will just melt in any strangers arms. Kash has not be around cats but we think with slow and proper introduction to dog savvy cats, that he would do well. Kash has been around kids and is very sweet and gentle around them. He would make the perfect family dog. 😍

Kash is being fostered in San Francisco, CA.
