Flash was confiscated by Hayward Animal Control along with nine other dogs from a hoarding situation. Everyone lived in a single hotel room. All of the dogs were related (puppies having puppies . . . ). Four of the dogs were fixed and returned to the owner, while the other six were left at the shelter. None of them were deemed “adoptable” and no other rescue group would take any of them, so Nobody’s Perfekt Dogs pulled all six into multiple foster homes.

Our understanding was that having 10 related, unfixed dogs in a small place generated a lot of squabbling, which then led to their confiscation. Flash seems to be still affected by that. He lived in a foster home with lots of dogs, but we observed similar behaviors as when he was in the hoarding situation. He has bonded with nearly all of the volunteers that work with him, and is friendly with the visitors to the adoption center that interact with him. He is good on a leash and loves going for walks.

Flash was very bonded to one of his siblings, Sasha. Originally we wanted to keep them together. Unfortunately, during the only sleepover that they ever went on, Sasha escaped and was never heard from again. We assume she is dead. Flash was returned to us when Sasha was lost.

Flash is currently living in our adoption center by himself, waiting to get a chance at a new home with no other dogs.

Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13.

Mary Lou was brought to the Stockton shelter by someone who said they “found her.” The “finder” thought that maybe she had been hit by a car, which is why she didn’t have any use of her back legs? However, there were no signs of trauma. Given her breed and that she was obviously used for breeding with no signs of ever having a C-section, it is likely that she injured her back giving natural puppy birth (French Bulldogs require C-section surgery to safely birth puppies, but there are a lot of unscrupulous backyard breeders just trying to make a buck and taking shortcuts - leaving the dogs to suffer.

Many of the dogs we work with that have no use of their back legs recover to some degree with work. Mary Lou hasn’t made much progress in this area, so will likely be a paraplegic dog for the remainder of her life. She prefers to drag the hind legs behind her, rather than using a cart. And because she doesn’t have use of her back legs, pee and pooping has it’s challenges, as well.

In addition to no use of her back legs, she does have some medical conditions that are common to the bulldog breed (allergies, ear infections, and the occasional urinary tract infections associated with her urinary challenges).

* * * * STOP BREEDING BULLDOGS!!!! * * * *

Mary Lou qualifies for our “permanent foster” program where we support her vet needs for the remainder of her life (as long as she is fostered/adopted locally).

On the other hand, she is super, super sweet. She loves everyone: humans and canines (and maybe cats? Not sure).

She needs a home with no stairs, and where someone is home most of the time. She would prefer a home with another friendly dog.

Kanga and Roo came to us from the San Mateo SPCA. Kanga wasn’t at risk, and would have been available for adoption at the shelter. However, her surviving puppy (the other one died at the shelter), Roo, was special needs and was still nursing, so we had to take Kanga and the puppy, Roo, together. After separating them for a while once Roo was weaned, we decided to put them back together after Roo recovered from her surgeries.

Kanga came from a very bad hoarding situation. She was very underweight (which probably contributed to the poor condition of her two puppies). She is very healthy now, and ready to be adopted.

Roo showed signs of congenital birth defects in her legs (not surprising, given her rough start). Three of her legs were “good enough” for mobility, while the 4th leg was pretty messed up. We decided to do a series of surgeries to realign the bones on the worst leg. She is fully recovered and gets around pretty good (although, not sure that she could take long walks - maybe a stroller is in her future?)

Kanga can be very shy and cautious when meeting new people, but when she does feel comfortable, she is super sweet and affectionate. Roo, as a puppy, loves everyone.

Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13.

Levi was picked up as a stray in Stockton, CA. One of his front legs had an elbow fracture that wasn’t attended to. The tendons were seized up in the fracture, so he couldn’t move his other joint either. The vets think he was probably hit by a car about a month before going to the animal shelter.

He wasn’t well cared for before arriving at the shelter, but he was still the sweetest dog - loving everybody. Because of his bad leg, he needed a rescue group to take him in, so the shelter called us.

Once he had his leg amputated, he became a whole new dog - loving the freedom of not having to lug around that useless limb.

Unfortunately, he has osteoarthritis in his hips. The surgeon thinks his previous injury damaged the blood supply to his hips. He needs to stay thin and active with low impact exercise. Luckily, he loves to get daily exercise! Watching him run around, you wouldn’t guess that he has hip issues. He will be need to on lifelong arthritis treatment. He currently gets monthly injections of Librela and Adequan and a daily joint supplement. No surgery is recommended on his hips at this time.

Levi loves going for walks and going jogging. He is leash reactive when other dogs are close, but when they are across the street, he doesn't react and has learned "look" to get a treat and focus on his foster mom. He currently wears a muzzle while out for walks for when a close encounter is unavoidable and he does well with it on. Levi lived with a large dog in his foster home for eight months and was great with him. He would do well being the only pet or living with the right dog with slow introductions.

Levi entertains himself with chew toys and stuffed Kongs when he's home alone and does well by himself. Fetch is Levi's favorite game in the backyard and the house and he is good about bringing it back and dropping it.

At home care is easy with Levi, as he allows ear cleaning, nail clipping, brushing, teeth brushing, monthly injections and getting a bath with no problems. He loves to cuddle up next to people on the couch and in bed. He has met a lot of strangers of all ages and does very well with everyone. Bikes, skateboards, canes, hats, etc. don't bother him. Levi is potty trained using a dog door.

Levi has shown some prey drive tendencies in the backyard, so he probably wouldn't do well in a home with cats. He also shows some barrier reactivity with the neighbor's dog, and is still working on that behavior.

If you are looking for a super sweet, smart, resilient dog and are up for continuing his training and arthritis meds, Levi might be the dog for you. He is also a great watch dog.

Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13.

Grady (a.k.a. “Bear”) came to foster care from the Stockton animal shelter with a plea to save this wonderful dog. Grady likely was hit by a car and was limping around for an estimated month prior to being picked up by animal control. He had a broken pelvis and needed FHO surgery. He was probably in a lot of pain for two months, if not more. Despite his pain, Grady was labeled a “staff favorite” at the shelter due to his sweet demeanor and love of affection from his human friends there taking care of him. This information led him to being saved by a willing foster with pittie experience and Nobody’s Perfekt Rescue. Grady was pulled out of the shelter, just in the nick of time.

Once in foster care, Grady took a couple of weeks to get used to the house dog. He was in pain, in a crate and in an unfamiliar place, so slow introductions were needed. After about two weeks, he and the house dog, a female pittie named Ruby, became best friends and love play. Grady would love to have a friend to play with in a home but could likely also be the only dog. Grady would be best suited for a dog friend similar in size and gets along well with female dogs. Grady needs slow and proper introductions to another dog through crate or area rotation. On leash, he can be leash reactive when around other big dogs that he does not know. He walks well on leash otherwise but is still limping on his rear left leg.

Grady is a cuddle-lovebug with a very cute little underbite and has the face of a baby bear, hence his nickname. He loves every human he has met so far and loves sleeping in his foster mom’s lap. Grady loves to melt into your arms or lap and hang out on the couch and loves affection. He’s an easy dog to handle and listens well. He knows how to sit, wait and probably shake, but loses balance when he tries, due to his rear leg.

Grady will alert when someone is at the front door and barks at leaf blowers and loud equipment. He will need regular attention and training but responds well to treats and food. He should also be fed separately from any other dog in the house, as most dogs do when food is present. Grady sleeps through the night in his crate and is house-potty trained. He knows how to use a doggie door and uses it regularly in his foster home.

Any home would be lucky to have Grady-Bear and he would make a wonderful addition to any household.

Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13.

Charlie was dropped off at the Berkeley Animal Shelter by someone who initially stated that they “found him.” Then it was discovered that person actually had the dog for a couple of months, so it was treated as an “owner surrender.”

He has no real use of his back legs. They were froze/locked in a rigid position, so he used them to steady his back end, but he wasn’t able to actually move them in any useful way. X-rays of his spine showed a major deformity that he was likely born with. The shelter didn’t have the resources to care for this kind of disability. They called us before making the decision to euthanize him.

We have determined that Charlie is incontinent (bowels and bladder) due to his condition. He mostly gets around by dragging his hind legs, and occasionally using his legs as “crutches”. The foster family hasn’t done a lot of work on getting him to use a wheelchair/cart.

As a puppy he is very playful. He had to learn a lot of puppy manners while interacting with the other dogs in the home. He is doing pretty well in that area. Charlie would do well in a home with other friendly, playful dogs his size.

Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13.

Nugget came to the shelter from county animal control. He was 7 lbs, and estimated to be around 2 months old. He was in pretty bad shape (severe bloating, horrible skin condition, a perforated corneal ulcer in one eye, and multiple bite wounds all over his body). We didn’t think he would survive, but he started recovering after a couple days in the shelter, so we pulled him into our rescue group. His injured eye was not salvageable and was removed by our vet. His skin condition greatly improved and the wounds healed.

We originally thought he was likely a Chihuahua mix, until he started doubling, tripling, quadrupling in size. DNA testing determined that he is a Shepherd / Pitbull / Husky mix. Not sure how big he will eventually get. Nugget isn’t “into people” like you would expect a puppy to be, probably due to his past. He enjoys the company of other dogs, particularly his foster brother, Roth, who is also a puppy about the same age and size. However, Nugget has bonded with is foster dad, and when all the playing settles down, he will snuggle with his human. We are still working on leash skills (so far, he isn’t into walking on leash, but that should be fixable, especially with another dog in the home who is good on a leash)

Nugget needs a home with another playful dog(s), probably close to his size or larger (initially,he can be a little intimidated by large dogs, but with the right dog and a well thought out introduction, he should do great). Potential adopters must own their home with a good size fenced-in backyard.

Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13.

Roth came to the shelter as a stray with a serious issue with his pee-pee (paraphimosis). The shelter’s vet did emergency surgery, then called us to rescue him. Unfortunately, the first surgery was unsuccessful (scar tissue closure causing the inability to urinate) so our vet had to go in do another surgery. So far, it is all good, however, he may need another procedure as he gets bigger (if he gets bigger). Given his mix with Chihuahua, he may remain a medium-size dog.

Otherwise, Roth is a sweet, happy-go-lucky puppy that is people and dog friendly. He walks on a leash. He will need some training on jumping on people, and a few other puppy manners.

Roth needs a home with another playful dog(s), probably close to his size or larger. Potential adopters must own their home with a good size fenced-in backyard.

Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13.

Adoption Fee: Donation (includes spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations)

Cheyanne was brought to the shelter as a very young, small, emaciated puppy with two broken legs (assumably from being hit by a car). Since as a German Shepherd, she had a lot of growing to do, the only viable option was to splint the legs and hope for the best. Fast forward 5 months and her front leg healed pretty well (which is good - front legs are more critical than hind legs for mobility. Unfortunately, we weren’t as lucky with her back leg. The severity of the fractures, impeded the needed bone growth, and the leg ended up shortened. There are ongoing discussions with the vet about whether to amputate that leg. Nobody’s Perfekt Dogs will cover the cost of the amputation, if that happens.

Otherwise Cheyanne is a sweet dog that needs a lot of socialization with people. Shepherds are naturally wary of strangers, so continuing her peoples skills is important. She loves all the dogs in her foster home. We don’t put shepherds in homes with cats.

A home with another well socialized dog around her size would be ideal. Please note for large breed dogs, we require that potential adopters own their home, with a securely fenced-in backyard.

Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13.

Sissy was dropped off at the shelter “as a stray” by someone (sometimes it is people dumping their own dog but saying “they found it”). She was very scared at the shelter (at 5 lbs, it is understandable that she would be freaked out). She was difficult to handle at times by the staff, but she also failed her high value resource guarding test. The test mainly consists of giving the dog food or other high value items, then tease the dog with a rubber hand to see if the dog will bite the fake hand. Very few shelters still do this test, because it often doesn’t accurately test the dog’s demeanor in the real world, but this particular shelter (and some large well-known rescue organizations) still use it.

She is a typical clingy small Chihuahua. For the most part, she is okay with the other small dogs in the home. However, if another dog is not treating her nicely, she will “return the favor” then it is game-on. She is not good with larger dogs. We have no idea about how she is with cats, but it is likely that she would be okay. It has been noticed that over-stimulated play with humans can result in some mouthiness / nipping - best to avoid that activity or involve a toy. If she is with another dog, they should be fed separately and avoid giving her treats if another dog is present.

She came to the shelter with a broken tooth, that was pulled when she was spayed. She had a skin issues that was believed to be flea allergy dermatitis - treatable with flea control. In her first foster home, she got into an altercation with a larger dog that ended up in a dislocated knee. Even though we initially considered amputation, Sissy uses the leg and shows no signs of pain, so we kept it.

Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13.

Courtney was found as a stray and turned into the local shelter. She had an abscess on her paw that needed medical attention. Upon evaluation by our vet, it was observed that she also has dry eye syndrome, ectropion eyelids that turn in, but her corneas were in pretty good shape. There were also sutures still in place on her lower abdominal area. The incision was too small for a recent C-section and there were no other signs that she had been recently pregnant (although she has likely had puppies in the past). It could have been from a recent spay, but lab testing indicated that she was still intact. It is a mystery as to why the incision w/ sutures was there. Our vet spayed her and fixed her eyelids. She is on ointment and eye drops for the chronic dry eyes, but it is possible that this will correct itself over time. English bulldogs in general often have LOTS of medical issues.

Courtney had some domination issues with the volunteers when she first came to us. After some consistent and stringent correction, that behavior considerably lessened, but she will need to be monitored when meeting strangers. Otherwise, she is very sweet and loves attention.

We pulled Courtney at the same time we pulled another English Bulldog, a male named Otis, from the same shelter. We thought that they may have come from the same home and were bonded. They do get along very well and probably bonded in a bulldog breed bonding sort of way. They need to be adopted together.

Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13.

Otis was found as a stray and turned into the local shelter. He was pretty healthy, but had a condition called “cherry eye” in both eyes. Our vet attempted to fix both eyes - the success rate for this repair is about 50/50. One eye is healing nicely, the other may not be so lucky, time will tell. Cherry eye is mostly a cosmetic issue, and doesn’t affect their ability to see. English bulldogs in general often have LOTS of medical issues. The only other observable condition, so far, is a flea allergy.

Otis had a lot of energy, a lot of humping and marking before he was neutered. Within a week following surgery, there was a big difference in his behavior. He is young and still energetic at times, but he is also very sweet and loves to cuddle.

We pulled Otis at the same time we pulled another English Bulldog, a female named Courtney, from the same shelter. We thought that they may have come from the same home and were bonded. They do get along very well and probably bonded in a bulldog breed bonding sort of way. They need to be adopted together.

Francine was brought to the Oakland Shelter as a stray. During the intake process, shelter staff noticed fecal and urine “leakage.” Upon examination, Francine was diagnosed with sacrocaudal dysgenesis, a common condition in dogs bred with no tails (pugs, bulldogs, Corgis, etc.) The tail isn’t allowed to fully form resulting in defects such as incontinence (bowel and urinary). Unfortunately, Francine is incontinent, requiring her to wear diapers while in the house. Our experienced foster homes are happy to consult with prospective adopters in the proper care of an incontinent dog. With the proper materials and routine, caring for an incontinent dog is fairly easy. She also had a “cherry eye” which was repaired during her spay surgery.

Otherwise, Francine is a friendly, loyal, playful, confident dog. At the adoption center she wants attention from everyone who visits. She lives in a foster home with another French bulldog (who is available for adoption from another rescue group), and they get along very well, However, being a “bully” breed, she can be a little bit of a bully with smaller dogs and cats.

Needs specialized training for a deaf dog. Our rescue group is willing to provide that training to the home that adopts her.

She is great with other dogs - loves to play, but needs to be fed separately.

She has some potential neurological issues (pacing when she is anxious), but she is on medication for the anxiety, which is helping. These might also be learned/coping behaviors from possible excessive crating at a young age by her previous owners?

Potential adopters need to:

Own their home, have a large fenced in backyard.

Live within a 100 mile radius of the San Francisco Bay Area

Have another large, friendly, playful, neutered/spayed dog

No children under the age of 13 years old

Provide vet references

Rupert came to us from the Sacramento County with an injured rear leg (probably from being hit by a car). X-rays indicated that his left rear ankle had been shattered. There were 2 options: amputation of the leg or an expensive arthrodesis surgery. We were fortunate to find a vet that was willing to offer us a discount on the repair surgery so that we could save his leg.

Rupert is doing well, occasionally favoring the injured leg, but using it most of the time. He isn’t in pain, but will most assuredly develop arthritis that may need some pain control in the future.

He is little skittish at times, but once he is comfortable, he is mostly a very outgoing, friendly, playful, affectionate young dog. He would do well in a home with another young playful dog.

Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13.

Mara was brought into a local by someone who found her. During her evaluation by shelter staff to access her suitability for adoption to the general public, they observed some high-value resource guarding with other dogs and people. She was also difficult to handle during her vet check. This is very typical of dogs that are fearful/stressed in a scary shelter environment. Because of these observations she was deemed “unadoptable” and could only be given to a rescue group experienced with behavioral issues.

When we got her to our adoption center, she bonded very quickly with the volunteers, allowing them to handle her, give her affection and attention. In her foster home with a couple of other dogs, she does some lap guarding. The dogs in the home are all fed separately and the humans don’t typically bother the dogs while they are eating.

There are quick, easy and effective methods to stop lap guarding (as well as high value guarding). Mara responds well to correction. She will need an experienced adopter that can effectively manage these issues. With a little time and patience, Mara could live with other dogs her size that don’t respond negatively to her guarding behavior. Otherwise, she likes people, likes attention, good on a leash, appears to be housebroken (but not too sure about using the doggie door in her foster home, yet).

Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13.

Cheerio came to the Sacramento County Shelter underweight and with an embedded foxtail in her neck. It was removed surgically, but post-op they had trouble stopping the bleeding. She tested negative for any blood clotting disorder - perhaps the surgery nicked an artery? Eventually, the bleeding stopped, but it left her anemic. The shelter needed a rescue group that specializes in medical cases to continue addressing her veterinary needs. Over time in foster care, her anemia improved and she gained her weight back.

She is a very friendly, sweet dog. She likes attention and affection from her foster parents and volunteers. She likes roughhousing with the younger, larger dogs in her foster home. She doesn’t like being confined or kept away from the activities of the home. Crate training would be pretty difficult - lots of barking. Apartment living may not be the best option for her. We have no experience with her as an only dog. We would recommend that she go to a home with other playful, friendly dogs.

Please note that we don’t adopt any of our dogs out to homes with children under the age of 13.

Brie came to us from the Sacramento County shelter with a fractured front leg. It was assumed that she may have been hit by a car, but the surgeon who repaired the fracture thought is more likely from being dropped, stepped on or maybe jumping from a high place). We got the leg fixed (and tried our best to keep her calm and confined during his recovery - an impossible task for a terrier). She should be as good as new, but as with any fracture, arthritis will develop over time.

She is very friendly, dog that demands lots of attention from her humans. Her dog-on-dog skills are rather poor, but we are working on that. All of her dog issues happen when we introduce new dogs into her area, she is initially pretty aggressive in an overly-stimulated way. Stern correction leads to her settling down and then interacting with the new dogs in an appropriate manner, and even eventually playing, if the other dog is game. Once the initial introduction is complete, there have been no issues with those other dogs, so far.

Should she be the only dog or go with another dog(s)? She has lots of energy and wants lots of attention. Having another dog that she can eventually bond with, might take the pressure off of her human family to provide her with all the attention she craves, especially if she is to be left alone during the day.
