Coming Soon. Just Kidding - Adopted! 💋

PACC is helping to rehome this little gem because Lucky is finding herself not so lucky given her human cannot find a place to rent that will allow her. This is a growing problem that is affecting a lot of well meaning dog guardians and PACC steps in to help when we can. We do think some family IS going to be VERY LUCKY to score this girl, cause she's super cute, very popular sized, well mannered, easy going and will avoid the pulling-the-hair-out that can sometimes come with those cute lil puppies or naughty adolescents (both of which we love, but not everyone has the patience for). Believed to be a lab-mix (it's gonna take a DNA test to know for sure), her human rescued her from the streets in Houston. It is likely she has previously had a litter but PACC has seen to getting her spayed. She is that coveted medium size dog we get a lot of requests for, tipping the scales at ~45-50 lbs. Up to date on vax and microchipped, Lucky is guestimated to be 7 years old. Also very popular, she's a quiet girl (by which we mean VERY QUIET ). She only barks when there is a knock on the door or when a loud truck goes by. Lucky likes adults and kids alike. She has been the only dog in the home her whole life so she takes a few minutes to warm up to dogs - she wasn't sure of PACC dog Zena (granted almost twice her size) but then quickly decided Zena was kinda ok. If you have another dog we will make sure it's a good fit. If you don't have another dog, that is what Lucky is used to, so that will be fine by her. Lucky really is that mature, no fuss, no house or other training kind of girl. No separation anxiety, no destruction in her entire history so far. Too perfect you say? OK fine, she has been known to chase rabbits and has come a little too close to catching one, but that was in her springier years. Nonetheless, we do not recommend her with rabbits, nor do we recommend cats. If Lucky sounds like a good fit with your situation: No patience for puppy or other training, you like your home intact, you have a home, ideally with a yard where beauties like her are not just allowed, but welcome and loved; you are looking for a walking (not pulling) adventure partner, and she will be a central and permanent part of the household - please complete the adoption application below and we will be in touch once its received.

Calling all Rottie / Teddy Bear Fans! This life size teddy bear of a girl is a dream big-dog companion. Xena is a 2.5 yr old, ~80 lb, spayed, fully vaxed and microchipped, purebred Rottweiler. PACC is helping to rehome Xena because her humans are working the long hours it sadly takes to get by in the Bay Area - this while Xena sits home alone, for longer than the family feels is right. PACC agrees that she deserves better and it's a waste of her joy and smile-inducing superpowers! Xena is über friendly with adults and kids alike, gets along well with dogs and is possibly cat friendly (she has not lived with cats but is not overly fixated on them). She's a young, healthy, strong and active girl who once exercised, does the classic rottie flop and is content to just hang with her people. PACC is looking for a medium-level active family that is comfortable with big, strong, life sized teddy bears and is home enough to enjoy the huge rottie love that comes with this girl. By medium-level activity we mean a family for whom daily walks, and weekly longer hikes or other family outings, are the norm. Children in the home should be 10+ because kids take a lot of time, dogs take time, and a lack of time is exactly why Xena is being rehomed. NOTE: While PACC works hard not to discriminate on potential adopter living situations, we are also faced with the reality that breed discrimination is alive and well in the Bay Area, particularly for Rottweilers. As such, preference will be given to home owning adopters, as landlords are notorious for changing the rules, and moving around with a rottie, no matter how friendly they are, is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. Apologies in advance for this unfortunate reality.

Kolbie is that understated guy in the room that doesn't suck up all the air, is happy to listen, wag, and take things in. Friendly with everyone he meets, he exudes an aura of calm. He's on the mello-er end of the scale for his husky lineage - loves long walks for sure or will chase 4 balls full speed and then call it quits. From there he's content to hang with his people. Kolbie is a pleasure to be around, and you feel lucky and warm in his presence. His past lives strike us as having been interesting, but given he's in a foster home we haven't had much time to pry his previous experiences out of him. They didn't impact him negatively though, cause he's a level headed guy that takes things in stride. Kolbie is a ~2.5 yr old, large at 60 lbs, neutered, male, believed to be full husky who is healthy, up to date on vax and microchipped. He romps with 8 of our PACC dogs regularly, all similarly sized stable dogs. PACC is looking for a mid-range active household where Kolbie will be a central part of the family. Given some evidence of a strong interest in cats, Kolbie is not recommended for homes with our feline friends.

We are thrilled to introduce Hugo - a true Ambassador of this phenomenal breed. A 100 lb, roughly 2 yr old, über friendly, neutered, "handsome boy", Hugo is healthy, up to date on vax, and microchipped. He is loving, loyal and super derpy. However, don’t confuse his derp for dumb, this guy is incredibly intelligent and a very affectionate boy who loves physical touch. He melts into your lap with head massages and ear rubs. Hugo is also a professional enchanter that can enchant any human into rubbing his belly for hours. He enjoys walks and is excellent on leash, loves chasing balls, chewing on big dawg chew toys and giving great big bear hugs. He knows sit, wait, paw, and has been working on “leave it”. Hugo is a pleaser, listens well and whoever had him before he came to us clearly loved and took excellent care of him. We are told his human(s) lived in an RV and likely could no longer care for him in the exorbitantly priced Bay Area. He is an exceptional power eater that could blow up Joey Chestnut’s Major League Eating titles on a bad day! He likes him some food! PACC is looking for a moderately active family to keep Hugo in the fine shape he is currently in - and a family who likes their dogs "BIG"! Hugo needs his walks and romps but he's no marathoner. He's not even a 10K'r - more like a 3/4 mile to miler. Hugo is wayyy too interested in cats hence there should be no felines in the home and any little humans dwelling in or visiting the home should be in their teens both because little ones take time, dogs take time and few families have time for both AND this guy is big & rough & tumbly (in a cute goofy knock you over kinda way). Hugo is being fostered here in Half Moon Bay and made himself at home right quick! NOTE: While PACC works hard not to discriminate on potential adopter living situations, we are also faced with the reality that breed discrimination is alive and well in the Bay Area, particularly for Rottweilers. As such, preference will be given to home owning adopters, as landlords are notorious for changing the rules, and moving around with a rottie, no matter how friendly they are, is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. Apologies in advance for this unfortunate reality. If Hugo sounds like a good fit (moderately active household, other medium to large dogs ok and PACC will help make sure its a good fit; no cats; teens and above only; and the time and big hearts needed to care for this one of a kind goofball) complete the adoption application below and we will be in touch!

Odin is a guestimated 2 year old, large, mostly German Shepherd, with maybe a splash of another long, lean breed cause he's well...long and lean; ~80 lbs; neutered, vaxed, microchipped and as sweet, gentle, and goofy as they come. Odin is great with big and little humans alike. Don't tell the intruders as he takes his guard dog duties very seriously and while being an excellent deterrent, underneath he's Mr. Nice Guy. His fosters work in education and Odin has quickly become the favorite at various high school events, where he is endlessly doted on, which is fine by him. He loves and plays well with his own kind. Odin was what we call a "greeter dog" in shelter playgroups where we had the pleasure of meeting him - meaning he's the boy that would happily greet and welcome all canine newcomers, being especially gentle with his friends struggling with shelter life. He's just a sheer joy to be around.  This boy is low maintenance, high reward! PACC is looking for an actively family for whom regular walks and play time are the norm, and where he will be a core member of the household. Odin's superpower is smiles. His are contagious so if you're looking to bring more joy, laughter and smiles into your life, give a shout out to Odin by completing the adoption application below and we'll be in touch once it's received!

"Tank is a tripod (3-legged) Rottweiler who is surprisingly agile and checks all of the good boy boxes! He is a belly rub aficionado. He is 6 years old, neutered, vaxed, microchipped and weighs ~80 lbs. He is fantastic with kids, and does well with other dogs both large and small. The best part about Tank is that nothing in life can get him down, he will be his human’s loyal best friend forever, through thick and thin & he loves with his entire heart and soul. Tank is a proud graduate of the 3 week board and train program at K9 Academy in Chino, CA where he was voted both most popular and most likely to succeed by his fellow canines. The humans followed suit by making him valedictorian. But don't let his higher ed degree intimidate you, he's as humble as they come. Tank's only challenge, in addition to having lost one of his legs, is that he has anxiety with storms and fireworks, so he has a thunder vest and medication to help him relax during those times, both of which will be provided to the lucky family that lands him. If Tank sounds like a good fit with your situation (loving stable home, able to provide moderate exercise, children and other dogs ok, cats unknown), give him a shout out by completing the application below."

Cassie is a super easy peasy, cuddly, girl who's perfectly content hanging out with her favorite people at home, sunbathing in the yard, and going for easy walks (she loves her walkies), but doesn't need any strenuous hikes. Cassie’s super power is brightening people's hour, day, life depending on how long you spend with her. She's therapy without the bill. She soaks up the ooo's and aww's that are pretty much everyone's innate reaction to meeting her. So if you have a lotta love to give, and can use some unconditional love back - you're lucky you're reading this post. Roughly 6 years old, spayed, vaxed, and chipped, Cassie is what we call a low-riding, adorable little hippo / pittie blend. Her favorite things might be yours too: sleeping in, nice quiet meals, snuggling and cuddling, napping in ray of sunshine, and going for fun walks that don't take up your whole day. If you are more a reader than a runner, prefer podcasts to pilates, or just don't need a dog to go everywhere with you, Cassie just might be your girl. And, if you gotta work or spend time away from home she understands and will just chill till you come home, greeting you at the door with her signature smile and wiggly tail greeting. This little package is a low maintenance girl so if you aren't as active as you think you should be - drop the guilt and cuddle up with Cassie. If Cassie sounds like a good fit with your situation (ideally a home with a fenced yard) give a shout out to Cassie by completing the adoption application below and we will be in touch once it's received.

Meet Stevie, beautiful in her unique, one of a kind-ness! This blonde bombshell is believed to be a Central Asian Shepherd, possible blend, roughly 2 years old, 85 lbs, spayed, vaxed, microchipped and is looking for a family who appreciates her charm! PACC has been asked to help rehome Stevie because she and her canine sister get along great - until they don't. Her sister has issues with resources so to save everyone the stress of unpredictable spats, we would like to find Stevie a new family to call her own. Stevie boasts a myriad of superpowers: She's a people enthusiast, never meeting a person she doesn't adore. Humans find her irresistible (PACC being no exception) Bred to be a working dog, she's from the generation that throws out traditional job descriptions and writes their own - she aspires to be a family dog and we don't want to stifle her entrepreneurial ambitions Stevie is super playful and puppy-like without the puppy downsides of housetraining While energetic in short bursts, she balances her day with napping and occasional and highly entertaining "zoomies" She likes her feline friends and tries hard to entice them to play. Blank stares are not a deal breaker in her book Stevie LOVES treat toys and puzzles. It's important to her to keep her brain cells sharp Stevie is great on leash and can go for walks but when she is tired you'll know it cause she plops down (typically 15-30 minutes into a walk). With a good tug and motivational talk she'll continue on like the good girl that she is If Stevie sounds like a good fit with your situation complete the adoption application below and we will be in touch: Moderately active household or one that likes to keep the dogs brain occupied through games; children in the home 10 or older because little humans take time, dogs take time and few families have time for both; no need to follow in-fashion breed trends since Stevie's lineage and unique beauty is rare!

Hello I am Calvin, a large, 2 yr old, ~70 lb, neutered male German Shepherd / your best guess (maybe Collie?!), foofball. I am up to date on vax and microchipped. I was asked to let you all know what I'm like. Transparently speaking, my foster mom helped me with this homework, my edits are in [brackets]: I am [the awesomest] big sweet boy, who loves dogs, big and small [unless they are hella scary and then I want no part of them]. I smell everything on walks, which are my favorite things [in the world]. I run after balls and bring them back, in a lovely, big, bouncy way. When I walk, I look like I am floating and I am alert to all wildlife around me. I spot things wayyyy before my humans [actually I smell them but that's a minor detail]. I have been around horses and though I am a bit shy, I don’t pounce or bark at them, I am curious [cause they smell nice]. I have been around my foster mom's, daughter's, pack of 1 big dog, 2 little dogs and 1 little human, and I had excellent manners [which cannot be said for one of her little dogs, but I digress]. I would do well in a house with other dogs, and kids [but probably not cats because they would definitely get me in trouble]. WRT house manners, I am guilty of having mild separation anxiety when the humans leave [no comment]. But I am smart and want to please, and am already figuring out they love me and will be back so [most of the time] I fuss at the beginning and then lay and sleep calmly till they come home. In the mornings I wake the humans up with a very special snuggle. I respond when called, know to go to my bed, and I sit and wait when asked. While I am a bit skittish around new men, or fast moving bikes, I warm up quickly, have made friends everywhere I go and lean into them with affection. [If you like a good leaner, I'm pretty much your guy]. On walks I wait patiently when my humans chat [I think she means talk forever]. I even recently visited Japantown and did fabulous, sitting at the outdoor restaurant. [I wasn't given a menu, which I'm still getting over...]. If I sound like a good fit with your situation, reach out to [my besties] at PACC by filling out the quick application below. [I look forward to leaning on you]!

Fin: Get A Load of This Lil Nugget! Meet the newest member of PACC's pack. At ~ 1 yr old, 45 lbs, neutered, vaxed and microchipped Fin is an adorable pittie boy blend with that coveted medium sized bod. Fin is the perfect combination of play buddy, stand up comedian and snuggler. Fin is being re-homed because he needs a more active family and one that can expose him to fun in the big world on hikes, beach outings, and the like. As PACC, while we're not super fond of dog parks, Fin is! So if that's your thing he would make room on his calendar! With humans Fin is a tad shy at first, but with reassurance and tasty treats, before you know it he is over it, snuggling and makes a great TV buddy who doesn't constantly ask you to change the channel like other family members might. With dogs it's full on fun from the get go. Fin still has the play moves of a puppy and is at the age where play, romp, nap, and bring love and laughter to the family are on his daily to do list. Families who have a dog or two with extra energy to burn would make a great fit for Fin as he's a built in play buddy. If yours is an active family, ideally with other playful dogs, a solidly fenced yard (Fin has some jump in his genes) and you're looking to turn up the cuteness and fun factor in the home, complete the adoption application below and we'll be in touch. Children in the home should be 7 or above (this because the little ones take time, dogs take time and both generally take more time than most families have).

Meet Hamilton! A super sweet, extremely gentle approximately 2 year old boy (may be part boxer based on his play style, we have a DNA test in the works) who loves his own kind almost as much as he loves his people. Hamilton is a little shy in new situations (aren’t a lot of us?) but gains confidence from having another furry friend who can show him that whatever comes his way, it’s all gonna be ok. Once he’s comfortable, this boy will offer you his paw as if to hold your hand (no asking on your part needed) and literally hug you with both “arms”. He won’t jump on you but he’ll carefully and slowly stand up on his hind legs asking if you want a hug cuz he’s just a very polite kind of guy. He’s guaranteed to make you laugh with his goofy leaps (maybe part gazelle?) while he does his zoomies around the yard. After getting some fun in, he's perfectly content to snuggle up with you or just relax while you do whatever it is you gotta do, while keeping a watchful eye on what you’re up to. He's wonderful with large and small dogs (including small senior dogs), and while we haven’t tested him with cats yet, he ignores squirrels on walks – so we think there’s a pretty good chance he’d have no problem with a cat brother or sister. He’s just a gentle guy who wants to get along with everyone and didn’t get the “I gotta be the big boy” memo. Hamilton loves to hike and would be a great partner if you’re active or working on those New Year’s resolutions to get in shape. He’s house-trained, 65 pounds (more of a tall and slender, than short and stocky guy), and just wants to be your best friend.
