He's okay with other dogs, but not cats. He annoys cats endlessly, so he needs a feline-free home.

Adoptable Dog of the Week - Blitzen! *URGENT*

Blitzen is a 3 month old Terrier/Chihuahua Mix puppy who was rescued from an overcrowded shelter with his mom Snowflake and his brother Rudolf. When nobody could rescue them, Furry Friends took them in to save them from euthanasia.



Blitzen suffers from dry eye and since his eyes were not cared for properly prior to being abandoned at the shelter, his right eye is blind. Now it is becoming more irritated, and the eye specialist has said that it needs to be removed otherwise it will get infected.

The cost of eye surgery is $3000. Furry Friends could really use your help and support! Having one eye will not slow down Blitzen. He will enjoy his life as a happy furry kid just like other dogs that have the same condition.

Please consider donating to his surgery costs. Every little bit helps and this sweet guy is worth it!

Adoptable Dog of the Week - Copper!

Age: 3 years
Breed: Beagle

Copper is a very sweet, quiet, and courageous Beagle. Copper had been hit by a car and picked up by Animal Control. When he arrived at the shelter LVBR was called to take him into our rescue. Otherwise, he'd be euthanized, as no owner reclaimed him. His injuries were not life-threatening, but he was in pain and needed medical attention. Our vet determined that Copper had 6 broken ribs and his lungs were badly bruised due to those broken ribs. He also sustained a dislocated hip. This needed to be repaired with surgery. However, the vet tells us Copper will have no lingering affects from this, other than maybe a slight limp. His foster parents can't say enough good things about this sweet little guy. He gets along wonderfully with all the other dogs in the home, he uses the doggie door to get outside, and he's very well-behaved.

After surgery Copper is doing great! Although the hip socket was removed, the muscles in his strong little legs have taken over the support. Copper is walking 20-30 minutes at a time, getting back into shape. He's a real trooper! He will soon be ready for adoption and is waiting for applications to come rolling in. Copper may always have a slight limp, but overall his outcome is excellent. Thank you to everyone who gave donations to help pay for his surgery.

If you're interested in adopting Copper, please contact Las Vegas Basset Rescue or fill out the online application here.

Adoptable Cat of the Week - Butterscotch!

Butterscotch lost his eye on a rose thorn when he was a kitten, but that doesn't stop him. He can run and play just like other cats and makes the cutest faces. He's sweet and a bit shy...and would do well in a one kitty household where he can be the center of attention. He was adopted in Nov. 2005 by an elderly person who became too ill to care for him and returned him to Furry Friends. He's in a kind foster home who squeezed him into her home and looking for his forever home as a true family member for life. See him on YouTube!

Adoptable Dog of the Week - KC

Everybody who meets KC loves him, even the folks who don’t want to love him because he is a bully breed.
This is one fantastic, sweet chunk of love. Every negative stereotype of an American Staff or Pit bull you may have, throw it out the window. This boy loves people, he is smart, obedient, potty trained, and walks beautifully on leash. He sits for treats, and at meals he will sit/stay until given permission to eat. KC deals fantastically with other dogs, and is living with two very dominant female dogs (including a 120lb Bullmastiff!).
KC has met many other Furry Friends foster dogs, tiny and big, and gets along well with them all. KC is respectful of kids and grandparents alike. He has had full run of his foster home since day one with no issues. Kids 12+, cats unknown. He loves to chew and needs very tough chew toys (can chew up kong toys) and daily exercise (about 1 hour brisk walk/jog).

Gender: Male
Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier Mix
Age: 3 years 6 months
Size: 63 lbs.

If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area and want to give this sweet boy a forever home, please contact Furry Friends Rescue.

Adoptable Dog of the Week - Sheba

Sheba was rescued by Furry Friends Rescue in October of 2010. She is super friendly and great with people and other dogs. She walks beautifully on leash, knows some commands and is very obedient. She is very affectionate and loves to cuddle. Sheba has an endless supply of love and smiles, is wonderfully sweet, smart and eager to learn. She will bark when left alone, so doggie day care is best if you work all day. She is very playful and can jump up and down with ease. Sheba still needs house-training, and a home with a yard would be best to let her out often. Sheba also needs a strong leader to continue her training and to keep her from becoming too overprotective. At doggie day care, she is great with all dogs. Kids 10 yrs+.

Gender: Female
Breed: Miniature Pinscher / Chihuahua (Long Haired) Mix
Age: 6 years 5 months
