Chato needs a foster-or even better, a foster-to-adopt home
Chato is a 1-year-old male pug mix and one of the many sweet dogs in East San Jose who’ve spent most of their young lives outdoors. His family is ended up letting him go , as the husband recently suffered a serious head injury and is preparing for surgery, while the wife is balancing everything alone-including caring for their 2-year-old (whom Chato absolutely adored).
We met Chato, and thanks to a kind offer for temporary housing, the family felt safe surrendering him to our rescue. Now, this little guy is ready for the next chapter: a loving foster home-or even better, a foster-to-adopt family.
Chato is friendly, affectionate, and still has that puppy sweetness. He loves playing with other dogs and his toys, but more than anything, he loves being near people-likely because he didn’t get to spend much time indoors or close to humans, having lived and slept in an outdoor kennel.
He’s now neutered and fully up to date on vaccines.
If you can open your heart and home to Chato, even temporarily while we search for his forever family, please reach out. Fostering truly saves lives. Please help us learn more about you and your household by filling out our online application : http://www.tinyurl.com/AdoptMeNow

Meet Archie: a Sweet, Gentle, Well-Mannered Poodle Looking for His Forever Home
If you’re looking for an easygoing and adorable canine companion, Archie might be exactly the dog for you!
Archie is a mellow, affectionate five-year-old poodle who has handled change with grace. He came to us after his former family decided he no longer fit into their lives, but instead of shutting down, Archie has continued to show the world nothing but love, trust, and sweetness.
Since arriving in his foster home, Archie has truly blossomed. He’s slimming down beautifully with healthy meals and gentle exercise, enjoys strolls around the neighborhood, and absolutely loves exploring the yard and chasing the occasional squirrel. He’s calm, polite, and incredibly well-mannered.
Archie is fully vetted, microchipped, has had a dental, and barely sheds. He’s great with children, adults, other dogs, and has an affectionate, loving presence without ever being overwhelming. He walks nicely on leash, listens beautifully, and sleeps peacefully through the night. When left alone, he simply rests, waiting patiently until his people return.
His foster family says it best:
“Archie is perfect. He’s smart, gentle, food-motivated, playful in the sweetest way, and so easy to live with. He loves his walks, cuddles, and cozy naps – and he’s been an absolute joy in our home.”
Archie isn’t looking for anything extravagant, just a home where he’ll be loved, included, and considered part of the family.
If reading about Archie tugged at your heartstrings, Archie might be the perfect pup for you.

Introducing Roux: A 4-year-old Belgian Malinois mix with an old soul and a loyal heart
Roux asks for some patience with getting comfortable in new environments, but once you’re in his circle of trust, you’ll quickly learn that this dog is pure gold.
Inside the home, Roux is the definition of polite. He’s calm, tidy, and has impeccable manners. He’ll quietly sit near you with his legs adorably crossed, checking in to see whether it’s cuddle time or independent time.
And if you’re busy? He’ll simply walk away and settle himself. He even sleeps peacefully in his own bed at night and won’t disturb you until you wake, then he’ll greet you with soft eyes and a happy tail.
He isn’t destructive, listens beautifully, and will stop barking the moment he’s asked. Truly, the goodest boy.
Roux thrives with daily activity like walks, enrichment, and lots of play. His absolute favorite activity? Playing keep away with one of his stuffed toys!
He even has his own fan club of shelter volunteers who love taking him for walks-his excitement and joy are contagious. A secure yard would be a dream for this boy to stretch his legs and enjoy his playful spirit.
Because Roux communicates and explores the world with his mouth (gently, without pressure), he needs a home that understands and respects his communication style.
He is ideally looking for the following environment:
Adult-only household
Experienced dog owner
Willing to be patient with Roux to earn his trust
Roux has successfully lived with an 8 lb chiweenie, a senior corgi mix, and a senior pittie with proper introductions-proof he can absolutely coexist with the right canine companions.
Once Roux bonds with you, he becomes deeply affectionate, loyal, and content. You may even find him sitting like a regal sentinel in a chair (his preferred throne), quietly watching over his home and the people he loves.
Roux isn’t looking for just any adopter-he’s waiting for his person. Someone gentle, patient, kind, and willing to go slow. In return, he’ll give you unwavering companionship, connection, and a love that feels earned and extra special.
If you’re looking for a deeply devoted dog who will adore you once you’ve earned his trust, Roux might just be your soul dog.

Meet Mochi: A Sweet, Playful Bulldog Ready for Her Furever Home
Mochi is an English Bulldog who has faced some challenges, but now she’s ready for a new chapter. After being brought to Springdale Kennels in San Jose due to her family’s housing issues, Mochi has been waiting for a loving home. She’s spent several months at the kennel, where she’s been receiving care and attention. Now, Mochi is on the lookout for a foster-to-adopt home where she can settle in, get the training and love she deserves, and eventually make her forever home.
Mochi has made incredible progress! With a little dedication, she’s lost 20 pounds and is much lighter on her paws. She loves her daily walks, is house trained, and is great with other dogs. She’s a snuggly girl who would love nothing more than to curl up next to you on the couch, and she’s playful and curious with a real zest for life. Mochi is also treat motivated, making her an eager student when it comes to training—she loves playing tug with rope toys and is always up for some fun.
While Mochi is sweet, playful, and affectionate, she does need a little more work when it comes to meeting new dogs. She gets overly excited and sometimes wants to mount them, but with time, consistency, and patient training, we’re confident this behavior will improve. Mochi’s excitement is simply a result of never having had much guidance in her previous environment. She’s still adjusting, and we believe that with the right structure, she’ll continue to grow and learn.
Mochi has recently been spayed, so she’s fully recovered and ready to start this new journey. Her ideal foster home would be with someone who is able to provide daily walks and continue her training, helping her develop into the well-mannered companion we know she can be.
If you’re looking for a playful, loving, and snuggly bulldog who’s ready to work on her training, Mochi might be the perfect fit for you. She’s ready to share all her love and excitement with a family who’s willing to guide her every step of the way!
**Foster-to-Adopt is an option**

Loving lab mix Walter is looking for a home! Walter is calm and affectionate. He loves getting cuddled and will give kisses as a thank you for pets. Walter likes to stay in contact with his person, but is happy to keep an eye on you from the comfort of his bed. He’ll be the perfect companion for a family that wants the fun and love of a dog, but without the puppy crazies! Walter is potty-trained, crate-trained, good in the car, and even good at bath time. He knows how to sit, catch a treat, takes treats gently, and walks nicely on a leash. Wally goes full wiggle-bum when you get out the leash because he wants to explore and share time with you! When you return home, he’ll ask for love and then snooze happily at your feet. Walter is about 7 years old and needs moderate exercise. He plays well with other dogs in a dog park after a proper introduction. He is currently fostered in a foster home with a cat and has shown no prey drive toward birds or small furries. Walter is hoping for a forever home, but is also available for foster-to-adopt.

Help Roux Live the Pain-Free Life He Deserves 
Every dollar helps to keep us continue to do this important work:
This year, One Planet Rescue saved another very special dog. He was called Chuck at the shelter and now Roux, a 4-year-old Shepherd mix who stole the hearts of everyone who met him at the shelter. Roux was shy at first, but once he trusts you—watch out, because you’ll never have personal space again! He’ll rest his face on your lap and happily soak up pets for as long as your hands will keep going.
When Roux first left the shelter, the world was a little overwhelming. He was scared of other dogs, nervous on walks, and unsure of new things. But with love and patience, he has blossomed! Now he enjoys adventures with his foster siblings, loves neighborhood walks, and even takes beach trips—where he often ignores the waves just to gaze at the real beauty… YOU. He’s calm in the car, loves road trips, plays a little fetch, and is perfectly content when left alone.
But recently, Roux’s journey took a difficult turn. His vet discovered a large bulging disc in his lower back—a painful condition he endured silently, never once complaining. To relieve his pain, Roux underwent a laminectomy surgery, where part of the spinal bone was removed to take pressure off his nerves and spinal cord.
The surgery was a success, leaving him with an impressive scar (the kind that will drive the ladies wild 
)… but also leaving us with a $10,000+ bill.
We knew Roux’s health and happiness were worth every penny, but now we need your help.
Your donation will go directly toward covering the cost of Roux’s surgery—the price we pay to give him the pain-free, joyful life he deserves. Roux has given nothing but love and loyalty through his journey, and now it’s our turn to show up for him.
Please consider donating today to help us cover Roux’s medical expenses and ensure that this sweet, gentle boy has the bright, comfortable future he’s been waiting for.
Thank you for being part of Roux’s rescue story. With your help, we can make sure his next chapter is the happy one he’s been waiting for.

PLEASE HELP A HOUSE HIPPO IN PAIN! REQUESTING DONATIONS for Sky’s Surgeries!! He’s been suffering for too long!
Sky may look like a tough guy, but underneath that blocky head and big chest is a heart of pure marshmallow. This lovable softie is calm, gentle, and a friend to everyone he meets—humans, dogs, and cats!
Sky was surrendered to San Jose Animal Care Center over a year ago, where he quickly became a staff and volunteer favorite. He found a wonderful home in December with a family who adored him—but due to a sudden medical crisis, they had to make the heartbreaking decision to return him to his foster mom.
Now back with his foster family, Sky is still full of love—but he’s also in pain. He has ruptured ligaments in both knees, one that was observed when he was surrendered and was untreated and one that is acute so, walking is a struggle. The only way to get him pain-free and mobile again is through corrective surgeries.
The orthopedic quote,attached below, could total up to $10k + to repair both of Sky’s CCL ruptures and give him a chance to live pain free… Please honor your pledges and donate:

I’m Hamilton, and like my namesake I’m a little scruffy around the edges.
But that just adds to my charm! I’m a 8+ year-old terrier, which my foster mom says is the perfect age. I’m past the puppy crazies but still young enough to be a fun companion!
I like to go on sniffy-walks, and already know not to pull on the leash. I learned loose-leash walking very quickly because I’m so smart and treat-motivated!
I alert-bark when a stranger comes to the door, but otherwise I am a relaxed boy. My perfect day would involve a nap, some treats, some playtime with other dogs or a cat, more treats, and following you around the house in hopes of getting even more treats. I never had toys before, but I’m learning to like those a lot!
One Planet Rescue and my foster mom saved me from a busy street in East San Jose, where I’d been abandoned. I love being a rescue dog and finally enjoying the good life! But I’m looking forward to my forever home even more. Could it be with you?
