Editor’s Note: This is an older post. All of these dogs were adopted out. Thanks!
These dogs are currently located at the Martinez California Animal Shelter near San Francisco. If you are interested in any of the dogs listed or have any additional questions please email us here or call 510-709-6680. Please include your phone number so we can expedite things if you want to adopt. As always, we don’t have much time here. These dogs are scheduled to be put down this week!
We realize the Dog Files is a national website. So if you aren’t in the area, please don’t think you can’t help save one of our dogs. We will work with you to the best of our ability to get the dog you chose to you. Please open your heart to a shelter dog in need!
There are many ways you can help if you are unable to adopt one of the pups.
1. Sharing this post on twitter, facebook, email, craigslist, everyone you know and to rescue groups and no-kills in your area.
2. Fostering a dog by taking one into your home (and away certain death at the shelter) and taking care of it while you (with our help) look for it’s forever home.
3. Donating a few dollars to the Dog Files so we can help get the dogs out of the high kill shelter and chip in for the medical treatment that might be necessary.
4. Get the word out for people to follow the Dog Files on our Facebook Fan Page and Twitter!
Brad: ID#A609464: DUE TO BE EUTHANIZED 7/14!
(Below) Hi, my name is Brad. I’m a handsome black and white Pit Bull Terrier mix. Everyone says I’m a mellow but fun guy! The shelter thinks I’m about 2 years and 1 month old, I’m still young and really wish to find my forever home soon! The volunteers always tells me how I’m a good boy and how cute I am, but why am I still here? I heard them talking secretly that my time is almost up, that does not sound good. I hope someone can come save me, I want to sleep in a warm home, play with other dogs, go on long walks, eat yummy food, and spend my time snuggled with my family. Does that mean I can’t if my time runs out? Please save me!
Zak: ID#A531972: DUE TO BE EUTHANIZED 7/14!
(Below)Hi! Zak here! I am a 2 year and 10 month old neutered male, gray and white Pit Bull Terrier mix. I have been at the shelter since Jun 22, 2010 but my time is running out! I really enjoy walking and playing with the volunteers at the shelter. I love to give kisses! Even though I love the volunteers I sure do hate this place. I wish I could find my own home soon. I wish someone can adopt me soon, I’m scared I’ll run out of time before my family comes to adopt me. I promise I’ll be a good boy! Please give me a home, I need you!
Lucky: ID#A613620: DUE TO BE EUTHANIZED 7/13!
(Below) Hello my name is Lucky! I am a handsome 4 year old, brown brindle and white Boxer mix. I have been at the shelter since Jun 22, 2010 and I really want to get out of here! I wish my family will come back to get me. I overheard the volunteers saying my time is up! Please come save me! I hate being in this place, I just want to be in a family! Please make me the luckiest dog in the world and give me a second chance at life!
Paco: ID#A613841: DUE TO BE EUTHANIZED 7/14!
(Below) Hi ladies! My name is Paco and I am a 2 year old white and tan Chihuahua – Smooth Coated mix. I don’t like this so called shelter place, I wish I could take a nap on someone lap and just get pets all day long. I love to play and be by your side. I’ve been at this shelter since Jun 23, 2010 and I heard my time is up! I don’t like the sound of that! I wish I had more time, my family is out there somewhere!
Yogi: ID#A614862: DUE TO BE EUTHANIZED 7/13!
(Below) Hi! I am Yogi and I am a 8 year old neutered male, white and brown Spaniel and Terrier. I’ve been at the shelter since Jun 29, 2010 and my time is ticking fast! I hate this place! I wish someone could just come and get me out already! I really want to sleep in a warm bed and not on the kennel floor. It gets very scary at night, please get me out of here! I’m not as young as all the other dogs but I’m still a puppy at heart, please give me a second chance! I want to live!
I've spent time with Brad and Yogi. Brad is full of energy and is generally a very good and happy boy. He wasn't interesting in playing fetch, but was very good about sitting for treats. He was very responsive to affection. When another pit bull entered an adjacent run he was very interested in the other dog, but it appeared like Brad just wanted to say 'Hi' and play. Not one growl, no tense body language, no sign of aggression at all. I just think he's been lonely! He'll be a great dog for someone who makes sure Brad has the right amount of exercise and attention.
Yogi may be an older dog but he's got a lot of life left in him. He appears to be housebroken. He's got a long coat that will need regular grooming. Although he's not as small as some other toy breeds are, he's a lap dog at heart. He's the perfect example of what the benefits are of adopting an older dog.
Gosh, I live in Arvada, Colorado…..but I would need someone to get one of these dogs to me…I own a 11 yr old Tabby Cat, 8 yr old Great Dane, 11 year Llaso Apso, and 1 year old Blue Heeler mix…I thank Alyssa Milano for posting this…but I can not afford travel costs….foster mom?
Hi Carrie! Call the number at the beginning of the post and ask to speak with Melody. She can figure out how you can help. Thanks so much!
i would love to take those p it bulls, but have no resources to get them here. there is a pit bull rescue in san francisco called “OUR PACK INC.” http:/www.ourpack.org/ maybe they could help save these dogs! it's worth a try!!!
Hi. I am seriously interested in Paco. Although I live in central illinois I would like to know more about him. I am looking for a small dog his size. He would be a wonderful addition to my family. My 15 yr old son and I would really like to have a small dog because we live in an apartment complex.
