Meet Benze and Matcha, San Francisco’s most dynamic duo. Benze, the German Shepherd with a heart as big as his bark, and Matcha, the tiny cat with a judgey glare that can freeze you in your tracks, are siblings with a flair for drama. They spend their days basking in the sun, critiquing the city’s finest (and not-so-fine) fashion, and keeping their humans on their toes. Whether they’re sunning themselves in their favorite spots or playing pranks on their parents, this pair is always up for a good time and a yummy treat!

Benny was surrendered to our local high intake animal shelter in September 2023 at 10 years old due to no fault of his own. He ended up timestamped for euthanasia just a couple months later due to the county shelter being in crisis with too many dogs than they had space for. After dodging the euthanasia list once already, I saw his picture and videos being circulated again in their Facebook group pleading for someone to help this sweet boy before his timestamp was up again. The video of him playing with the staff member really pulled on my heartstrings and I knew I had to save him. We adopted him the week before Thanksgiving and he got to be home for the holidays! He has fit right in with his doggie sister and cat siblings, and has been a great foster dad to all of the foster kittens I’ve had this year. He loves giving hugs, howling, running around in the yard with his sister, and going on adventures. He wakes us up every morning by laying on top of us and giving us kisses (and crying for us to wake up!). We might have saved him that day, but he has brought endless happiness to our lives too. I couldn’t imagine life without him now! I would encourage anyone who is able to, to adopt and save a life. It is so rewarding. ❤️

We adopted Oreo from Forever Dog Home Rescue here in Washington State, on April Fools’ Day last year (4/1/23). And the prank was on us when we thought we were getting a 4 year old dog, but she actually ended up being about 1.5 years old, and it showed immediately in her energetic puppy energy. We also learned later through DNA testing that she is a Bluetick Coonhound, Australian Cattle Dog, and Pitbull mix. 

She is a a very happy and snuggly goofball who likes to go for long sniff walks. And she loves food and treats more than anything!

Pumpkin and Strudel are a mother/son duo who were rescued last year after a backyard breeder surrendered Pumpkin and her 4 puppies. We saw their photos when their foster mom posted in a Facebook group just 6 weeks after losing our first corgi Nugget to complications after a long battle with multiple myeloma — and he sent us clear signs that they were meant to come into our lives that soon. These 2 pups bring us more joy than we could’ve ever anticipated. Pumpkin has overcome her neglect and come out of her shell in ways we never thought possible, and Strudel has filled Nugget’s old role of “King of the House” seamlessly! They both love to snuggle, chase ANYTHING, and toss around dirty laundry. And we love making them our entire personality!  

Hello! My name is Sadie and I am a 1.5 year old Bernedoodle. I love spending time with family, going on walks, chasing squirrels in my backyard, and chewing on my owner’s shoes. I love my picture from Perkie Prints! It’s hanging on the wall in my house next to pictures of my other furry siblings, Jackson and Puff.  

Winnie is sassy, chill, and wild all in the same breath. She loves going to mom’s salon to work and greet clients then will turn around and get dirty at the pig barn with her brother and sister. She loves to swim in water troughs, go on sniff walks between hair clients, and meet new furriends at rodeos. She is only 8 months but acts like she has been around forever.
