Have you been waiting for the right puppy to add to your family? Because these two are ready to meet you.

Casper and Twix are 13-week-old gentle giants. Already approaching miniature pony status, we expect both to reach triple digits when fully grown. Their breed remains a mystery, but after three weeks in foster, their temperaments are not. These babies are incredibly sweet.

Casper, a male, and Twix, a female, are both gentle with children. They are not mouthy and will happily curl into a lap to watch everything happening around them, although those lap-dog days may be numbered.

Both are dog friendly and love trying to entice their foster siblings to play. They are crate trained and doing very well with potty training when given regular opportunities to go outside. Twix is also fostered with a cat, and we believe Casper could live successfully with a resident cat as well.

Casper and Twix would make wonderful additions to many homes, especially families prepared for a lot of puppy to love. They are sweet, social, and growing quickly.

Both pups will be at our Pleasanton adoption event this Saturday! Apply to adopt Casper or Twix now and bring them home from the event.

In a league of his own… it’s Cooper!❤️

Don’t let the distinguished gentleman pose fool you. Cooper is a goofball.

Since settling into his foster home, Cooper has really come out of his shell. He loves racing around the backyard, playing chase and tug-of-war with his foster sister, and fetching his Kongs and balls.

He’s also a fantastic sidekick. Cooper enjoys neighborhood walks, does well on leash, and loves car rides. He’ll watch the world go by for a while and then settle in for a nap.

When his foster mom comes home, he makes sure she knows he’s there with a well-placed nose poke. Once the day winds down, he’s all about belly rubs, cuddles and TV time with his people.

Cooper is house trained, crate trained, great with people and generally very dog friendly. He lives happily with his foster sister and loves having a canine buddy. He did meet one male dog at an adoption event who wasn’t his cup of tea, but so far that seems to have been a one-off.

He’s also smart, adaptable and perfectly capable of finding his own solutions to life’s problems.

The dog door, for example, is apparently more of a suggestion than an actual doorway.

Cooper is friendly, affectionate, playful and wonderfully go-with-the-flow. He’d fit beautifully into most households looking for a dog who wants to play, hang out and simply be part of the family.

Basically, Cooper is a very good boy who would like to know why nobody has adopted him yet.

Frankly, Cooper, we’re wondering the same thing.

Jameson may not be a tall drink of water, but he’s a small pour of the good stuff. Jameson, our resident mini firecracker, was found abandoned at a bar, so really, what else were we supposed to name him?

But our pint-sized Irishman had a surprise in store for us. At a tiny 10 pounds, we initially thought he was an 8-week-old German Shepherd puppy. However, a p*ek into his mouth revealed big-boy canines and molars! Since those usually only appear in pups 4-5 months or older, your guess is now as good as ours. Is he a small breed dog undercover as a German Shepherd, or... ?

What we know for sure is Jameson is a little guy with a LOT of personality. He’s great with kids and dogs both large and small, and his absolute favorite pastime is trailing the resident dogs around to see what everyone is getting up to. If there’s a meeting, Jameson would like to attend. If there’s an adventure, he’s coming. If there’s a dog pile on the couch, please make room.

He loves being part of a pack and will happily snuggle up with the other dogs when the excitement is over. We think he’d especially enjoy a home with an older dog who can continue showing him the ropes.

For such a young pup, he already has a pretty impressive résumé. Jameson is crate trained, house trained and potty trained. If he can’t get outside, he reliably uses p*e pads. He’s also comfortable hanging out in an x-pen during the day when needed and sleeping in his crate at night.

Like any puppy, he’s still learning his manners. He’s currently in his land-shark era. He’s learning that humans are not chew toys, but a home with older children or kids who are already accustomed to puppy antics may be the best fit.

Jameson is funny, confident, affectionate, social and endlessly curious. He’s the kind of puppy who wants to be right in the middle of family life.

For now, he’s keeping busy flashing that ridiculously cute puppy face, following the big dogs everywhere and practicing parkour in his pen.

We think this tiny pour is going to make one family very happy. 🥃❤️

Copper is a darling, 7mo GSD. He is affectionate, smart, super dog friendly, and an eager to please.

Copper is still new to our program and we are getting to know him. He’s not a big fan of the crate, walks very easy on leash, and has been a perfect gentlemen on his outings to hardware stores.

Copper is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and ready to go. Interested adopters may apply at www.spayneutersctionproject.org

Give Copper a round of likes to welcome him in!

Small Dog Alert!! 🐾

Nugget is a 7 month old Terrier mix who is ready to steal your lap on the way to your heart.

Nugget earned his name by being perfectly pocket-sized next to the much larger dogs in his foster home. And yes, he would absolutely prefer to be carried around in someone’s pocket all day if that were an option.

Nugget arrived a little unsure about people and life in general, but he is figuring things out quickly. He has even discovered that kids are quite possibly the best thing in the world, and playing with them is at the top of his list of favorite activities. Right along side teeny-tiny peanut butter Milk-Bones

But his #1 favorite thing is being close to his people. He loves to be held, gives plenty of kisses, and would happily make nightly snuggling part of his adoption contract. When a lap is unavailable, he rolls himself into a fluffy blanket like a burrito and settles in.

Nugget also has a wonderfully silly side. He chases tiny squeaky balls, plays fetch, hunts flies in the yard, and takes tug-of-war with his Snoopy stuffy very, very seriously. Snoopy will, of course, be moving with him.

Nugget is still learning that being left alone does not mean his people are gone forever. His foster family is helping him understand that his crate is a safe place and that everyone always comes back. Leashes and the larger world are also new, so he will need a patient family willing to keep introducing him to life at his pace.

Nugget may be small, but he comes with a lot of love, excellent comedic timing, and one nonnegotiable stuffed Snoopy. If that sounds like your kind of dog, apply to adopt at www.spayneuteractionproject.org. 🐾

There are days in rescue that are dark but the ones that hit hardest are when you see the depths to which humans can sink.

We walked into the Oakland shelter to evaluate dogs, which is by itself, one of the hardest parts of rescue. Instinct says let’s take all of them. Practically, we can’t.

After a particularly difficult case, we were told about this gentleman, because that is what he is. He was brought in as a stray. His body is worn, bone weary and inflamed. But his eyes are still the kindest, soft and still showing signs of affection, something we look for.

He is skin and bone. A large part of his back is scabbed, crusty and missing fur. His neck has an open wound that leaked onto his collar and our clothes when he lay his head. Patches of beautiful red brown fur show what he must have looked like, before all this happened.

We checked his teeth to figure out his age and our hearts stopped. His whole front jawline, top and bottom have been filed down. His incisors have been filed down to nubs, into his gum. His canines too. There is no explanation that makes that acceptable. In my colleague’s 13 years of rescue she’d never seen it. After consulting our friends who have owned many working dogs till the end of life, they’d never seen it. Our closest is cruelty, via filing, plain and simple.

He was listed as a senior, but his teeth (what was left of them) and muzzle showed us he was 5-6 years old. A young pup, in the prime of his perfect age, subjected to unknown horrors and cruelty and still asking to be pet, begging to be fed.

Yet. His paws told another story. The moment we took him out of the kennel we commented on how swollen his paws were. Something was going on.

He winced walking on mulch. They were seriously inflamed. We later found out they were filled with foxtails and took the vet over an hour to pull and there still could be more.

Still, he leaned in for pets, accepted our touch and treats and just wanted some love, understanding that we meant him no harm. That may be the hardest part to understand. After everything humans had done to him, he was still willing to believe we might be kind.

Currently he is known as D4. Because we’ve been searching for a foster who gets the privilege to name him. Thank you Kat and Lisa for stepping up.

He has since been neutered. He has received medicated baths and will need ongoing medical care. The good news is that he will make a full recovery, he will heal. And from this point onward every hand that reaches for him, will be there to help, with kindness and love. ❤️

We need our village to rally once again and help us. Like, share, comment, donate. We are doing good things, because good people like you help. -Geet

When Millie came to us four weeks ago, she knew how to be a dog. She just didn’t know how to trust people yet.

Millie spent the first 12 weeks of her life living on an abandoned property with several other dogs and little, if any, human interaction. Other dogs made sense to her. People did not. When someone reached toward her, she would become nervous and shut down.

But underneath that fear was a playful, curious, incredibly smart puppy waiting for her world to feel safe.

Over the past four weeks, we have watched that puppy begin to emerge.

Millie now plays, explores, and seeks out the fun happening around her. She loves romping with the other dogs in her foster home and has been comfortable with them since the day she arrived. She has done wonderfully with potty training, already knows how to use a dog door, and continues to surprise us with how quickly she learns.

Millie is so very sweet, she needs a family who understands that trust cannot be rushed, but also sees how much she has already overcome.

Because other dogs bring out the very best in her, we would love to find Millie a home with a friendly, playful dog. A canine companion would give her someone to learn from, play with, and lean on while she continues discovering that people can be pretty wonderful too.

Millie is spayed, microchipped, and vaccinated. She is a mix of cattle dog and adorableness.

She had a rough beginning, but that is becoming a smaller and smaller part of her story. Millie is blossoming into a happy, playful little girl. Now she just needs a family willing to help her finish becoming the dog she was always meant to be. ❤️

YOU GUYS. LOOK AT THIS. 🥹❤️

A few days ago, we told you about Mama Morticia, her three babies, and the five tiny orphans she immediately welcomed as her own.

We mentioned that eight puppies can put a pretty serious dent in a rescue’s supplies.

And you showed up.

Box after box after box arrived from our Amazon wishlist. Puppy food, Pads, Rescue disinfectant. Dewormer ,Probiotics, Wipes, Bowls and toys. Even Snuggle Puppies for our little potatoes. ❤️

These photos are only some of what you sent us.

Every single item means something to a small, volunteer-run rescue like ours. It means our fosters have the supplies they need. It means money can go toward veterinary bills and the next emergency. And it means that when another dog needs us, we have a little more breathing room to say yes.

To everyone who bought something, shared Morticia’s story, donated, or helped spread the word:

THANK YOU! Truly.

Morticia and her beautifully expanded Addams Family are doing well and apparently these eight little monsters have quite the fan club!

We do still have a few much-needed items remaining on our wishlist, so if you meant to send something and haven’t yet, we could absolutely still use the help.

🛒 Amazon Wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2KD5N6AXURFN2?ref_=wl_share

From Morticia, Wednesday, Gomez, Pugsley, Fester, Itt, Thing, Ophelia, Abigail and all of us at SNAP:

Thank you for showing up for them. ❤️
