Buddy

Date Adopted: Tue, 06/15/2010

Breed: Boston Terrier

Why I chose this dog:

Update from 12/27/2012, the best of Buddy from 2012!

Things I love about this dog

Every.Single.Thing. I can't imagine that there is a dog out there that would be a better fit for me than Buddy is.


Roxy (used to be Rusty)

Date Adopted: Sat, 05/05/2012

Breed: Terrier mix

Why I chose this dog:

I can't say exactly why we chose Roxy because there are so many reasons, but I think the main one is that we just knew she was the dog for us.

Things I love about this dog

Roxy is the sweetest little girl! She gets along great with our other dog, our cat and our little girl. She's potty trained. She's adorable. She likes to sleep under the covers. You can tell she's an old soul when you look in her eyes. We just love her to pieces!


Fiona

Date Adopted: Sun, 10/16/2011

Breed: Chiauaua - Italian Greyhoud

Why I chose this dog:

Love at first sight...

PS: Wonderdog has been great to work with. We can highly recommend adoption through them.

Things I love about this dog

Fiona has lots of personality. She is funny, silly, energetic, has a bit of an attitude and DOES NOT BARK. She loves to chase other dogs and being chased. It is a lot of fun watching her. We love her very much.


Roxy

Date Adopted: Fri, 06/03/2011

Breed: Chihuahua terrier mix - 8lbs

Why I chose this dog:

Since adopted Roxy last year, she has been fixed, crate trained, spoiled, become the work mascot, and has gained 1 lb. She is happy, and a love, and fits perfectly into our family. Now about 5 years old, we are in touch with her shelter pal, Fritz, who is likely her son. They, too, live in SF. Why would anyone buy a puppy when you can rescue a dog like Roxy? EVERYONE loves her personality, not to mention her silver mohawk.

Things I love about this dog

Her mohawk The way she greets us when we come home Her love of walks and adventure How mellow she is inside How perfectly she is part of the family


Jaxton (formerly "Hopper")

Date Adopted: Sat, 09/13/2008

Breed: Australian Cattle/Pit Bull (and maybe Basenji?) Mix

Why I chose this dog:

When I saw the ad for this litter of pups I knew right away that I needed one of them; particularly, Jaxton. I had been looking for a medium sized, mixed breed dog, with quite a bit of energy to adopt. The problem was that my mom was not completely up for getting a new dog because of all the time and money. The next weekend my boyfriend and I decided to go to the sidewalk adoptions anyway just to check them out. We talked my mom into going with us, "just for the ride" and next thing you know we are both sitting in the pen with the last two pups that were left (one of them which happened to be Jaxton!) and we ended up taking him home that day.

Things I love about this dog

Adopting this dog has been probably one of the best decisions we have ever made. We have had dogs before in our family, but none have been quite like Jaxton. He is incredibly smart and trainable, always stays with you when he's off leash, loyal, a wonderful guard dog, very athletic and simply makes everyone around him extremely happy. He gets so much love and attention everyday that he probably lives a better life than some human children do. We take him everywhere with us (Starbucks, the dog park, camping, the beach, hikes, friends houses, road trips), and everywhere we go people comment on how handsome and unique looking he is. On an exciting note, Jaxton has a small part in a local independent film called "Doggie Boogie" which was filmed in the San Francisco Bay Area. The film will be featured at the Sonoma International Film Festival in April, and will hit limited theaters and DVD by the end of the year! Because Jaxton is such an amazing dog, we are really interested in getting in contact with his adopted sibling owners to see what his brothers and sisters are up to. If you think your dog might be related to Jax I would love to hear from you!


Charlie

Date Adopted: Sat, 12/24/2011

Breed: Boston Mix

Why I chose this dog:

He came out of the crate with his sister Poppy(now Willow :)last 2 of the 7 Boston terrier(mix?) and crawled right up into my lap and started licking my neck and wiggling his tail and so excited to see me. I was his at that moment, I was his and he was mine.

He is a terrific little guy, likes his crate, his new 12 year old brother, 10 year old sister and 8 year old sister humans. He is a well played with, held, house trained, taken outside to play, puppy.

Things I love about this dog

His adorable face, his puppy persona that is also quite irresistable, and his loving kind and trusting ways!


Willow (formerly known as Poppy)

Date Adopted: Sat, 01/07/2012

Breed: Boston Terrier Mix

Why I chose this dog:

She had a good energy level and I knew she would be a wonderful companion. She was interested in her surroundings, but also liked to sit on my lap. She is a great size, which will allow me to take her with me when I travel. She was just an overall sweet girl.

Things I love about this dog

She is very affectionate and loves to cuddle and sleep next to me at night. She loves to play, but will settle down and jump in bed with me if I'm going to take a nap. She loves playing with my housemate's dog and they've had a lot of fun chasing each other around the yard or playing tug of war with a rope toy. She's very smart and has been learning things quite quickly, from not biting me to learning "come". I look forward to all the adventures we will have!
