The Perfect Dog

The Perfect Dog, dedicated to rescuing wonderful homeless or abandoned dogs from over-crowded shelters, is an organization serving the southern Bay Area. The Perfect Dog places dogs in need into temporary foster homes, where they are socialized, trained, cleaned, and prepared for adoption. Ultimately, The Perfect Dog strives to greatly reduce the number of unwanted dogs euthanized in shelters simply due to over-crowding or being deemed unadoptable.The Perfect Dog rescues the “IMperfect” dogs who have simply been overlooked at the shelter or who have special medical or behavioral issues which puts them at risk of euthanasia, and finds them the perfect homes. We never discriminate. If there is a dog in need, it doesn’t matter its age, breed, condition, history, etc. If it needs help, we will do what it takes to find a way to help the dog. We believe in giving every dog a chance and we believe there is the right home for every dog out there.

Meet Astra

Astra is a 2yo 45lb Aussie/cattledog mix. She has moderate energy, and is crate trained and doing well with housebreaking, and already knows sit. She is very loyal and loving to her people, but is on the shy side and takes a brief moment to warm up to new people/places, although she is very sweet. But walks well on leash with her person and lives really well with other dogs. Tested well with cats and livestock too (just avoidant, no aggression). She’s a really great dog, just needs continued gentle confidence boosting and life experiences and adventures. She will be a great companion! 

Adoption Process
adoption fee is $250 for puppies and adults, $150 for senior dogs (10+), first step is to fill out the adoption application to ensure the home will be a good fit for the dog, then we offer a foster-to-adopt week-long trial period to ensure it will work out in the new home, with a signed foster agreement, then sign an adoption agreement once they're ready to adopt.

Look for other dogs for adoption!
