Meet our girl Bailey, aka BB, aka B! We are SO in love with this girl and think you will be too! First her stats: Roughly 2.5 yrs old, female, 62 lb, spayed, previous mama dog, up to date on vax, microchipped, our guess is an Am Staffie (American Staffordshire Terrier) blend, with a coat that looks beautifully black in the shade and turns a deep chocolate brown in the sun. Perhaps due to having been a single-mom Bailey leans toward the more serious side. No yappy, talkie here! She's a quiet "reflector" who likes to size up a situation before drawing conclusions. Shout out to all you folks who like to think before you act. You can relate! We can also share this about BB: -She gets along well with most dogs. If you have one or more, PACC will help with intros. She's also fine being on her own. She's a no fuss kinda girl -B's natural inclination is to stay close. We're tempted to say we toiled away working on her "recall". In fact, the first time we called her back on a walk this girl made us look like incredible trainers. It's just her temperament. When she's yours, she's ain't goin far from your side. A definite Staffie trait -She loves her some cuddles, especially a good rump massage -She enjoys looking into your eyes with a deep love that melts your heart. This girl bonds deep -Her signature move (see video): pouncing on the grass to root out critters. To date she hasn't caught any, other than in her mind -B is a little wary of some men. But upon reflection, warms quickly. Apologies for the slight gender bias, she'll be doing an on-line gender-equity course soon -We have not seen Bailey around cats so to be respectful of everyone's time we recommend a home free of our feline friends PACC is looking for a moderately active family who likes their low key walks and hikes, and appreciates the reflection, "hunting skills", deep love, and loyalty this girl will bring to the household. If your situation sounds like a good fit with B's, complete the application below and we will be in touch once its received.

At just over a year old this boy is still a pup, weighing in at ~55 lbs, happy, healthy, neutered, up to date on vax and microchipped, Taz is a spirited, fun, silly boy who is ready to join your active lifestyle.

Meet Lia our strikingly beautiful, approximately 3 yr. old, spayed pittie blend. She has a stunning light brindle coat reminiscent of a caramel sundae and her bright golden eyes, reflect a gentle soul and a curious mind. Lia’s ear to ear infectious grin, her tall, and pointed antennae ears add to her uniqueness. Be prepared for strangers to comment on her incredible features often. She is a stunner with a fan club! Lia is fully vaccinated, microchipped and was a great canine citizen in playgroups at the San José shelter. While in her past life at the shelter she enjoyed supervised romps with other dogs, these days she prefers 1:1 time with humans -what can we say, she is all about the humans. When approached by stranger’s up close and personal, she melts into a 60lb, wiggle worm who may try to slip you a little tongue action but behind a door she’ll sound like a posse of guardian dogs ready to defend their flock. All bark, no action – can be bought with treats or pets. Lia epitomizes the essence of “cannot be bothered” by passing dogs while on leash. She is an expert hiker, or an ideal companion for a leisurely stroll. She firmly supports the “suns out – buns out” lifestyle. PACC seeks an active household that appreciates large, strong, and active dogs, particularly those who enjoy cuddling with the whole family on the couch for Netflix and chill time. Kids in the home should be 10+ because little humans take a lot of time, dogs take time, and most families don't have time for both. Cats are not recommended. If you’re looking for a girl who combines beauty and brain’s, then fill out our application and meet this stunner.

Meet Ringo! Found running skinny, scared and stray by a good samaritan, Ringo was taken to PHS in hopes our local humane society would help find him the family whose home he is going to brighten immensely. Unfortunately the only service PHS was willing to provide was euthanasia, so PACC stepped in. While PHS was "unable to introduce Ringo to even one dog due to aggression and resource guarding", neither of which he has, Ringo was running with PACC's pack the moment he met them. This guy is super pro-social and LOVES his dog buddies. We are looking for a home with other medium to large dogs for Ringo to romp with. If you have a high energy pup you'd like to run the battery down on, Ringo would be an excellent pick. He just can't say no to playing and he's got the genes and stamina to keep on playing, for as long as needed. Our boy's stats: ~2 yrs old, large, 85 lb, neutered male, up to date on vax and microchipped. As far as his lineage goes - go ahead and make yourself a cup of coffee/tea cause his DNA results take some time to plow through...here we go:  45% German Shepherd Dog, 17% Siberian Husky, 7% Chow Chow,  3% Australian Shepherd, 2% Australian Cattle Dog, 2% White Swiss Shepherd, 5% American Pit Bull Terrier, 4% Samoyed, 3% Akita...wait, we're not done yet... 3% Doberman Pinscher, 2% Rottweiler, 2% American Staffordshire Terrier...we definitely got our money's worth on this guy's DNA test...3% Labrador Retriever and 2% Catahoula Leopard Dog. Whew!! If you read all that you get your personal equivalent of a gold star. Ringo is big, super sweet, as affectionate as they come and goofy as all get out. Plus he's just a pleasure to look at. He does have what we call separation anxiety - so all you introverted home bodies who feel guilty for not being more social and outgoing - this guy prefers your type. No more social stigma for wanting to stay at home, Ringo will stay with you! That said, when in the company of another dog(s), and you leave him, he lets out a coupla of weird "I'm gonna die" sounds and then just resigns himself to awaiting your return. He is easy peasy to walk on leash - no rotator cuff injuries with this guy - he's a little nervous out and about, likes to stick close by and the upside of that is that he does not pull. Ringo's signature move is sometimes, but not always, stirring his water with his paws before he drinks. Maybe the good stuff is at the bottom? PACC is looking for a moderately active, homebody type family where Ringo will not be left for long hours alone and a solidly (high) fenced yard for him to play and do his business in. The more medium to large dogs the merrier, as he does like his frens. Children in the home should be 10+ because little humans take time, dogs take time and few families have time for both. Ringo has not been around cats so we prefer a home without our feline friends to avoid wasting everyone's time should he be too interested in them, and lastly a family that would like to turn up the joy factor in the home and the beauty aesthetic by having this lovely creature roaming the house. If Ringo sounds like a good fit with your situation, complete our adoption application and we will be in touch once received!
