Nobody's Perfekt Dogs and Cats

Nobody's Perfekt Dogs and Cats We rescue "imperfekt" dogs from local shelters in danger of being euthanized and find homes where imp Looking for a “perfect” dog? Sorry, we can’t help you.
(1)

We specialize in finding homes for dogs where “imperfection” is tolerated in exchange for a lifetime of love and devotion. Our foster dogs have been discarded by the people they once trusted, only to find themselves in a shelter with no other options. We want them to have a second chance to receive the love and care they deserve. Our Story:

Nobody’s Perfekt Dogs is not a shelter, but we only pull

dogs from the local community shelters. We do not take dogs directly from people wanting to dump their dogs or strays that people find. We consider ourselves a “rescue of last resort.” Shelters who call us about a dog in need, have exhausted all other rescue groups and options, leaving no choice but to consider euthanizing the dog. Many of our dogs are seniors, or have special medical needs. Some of our dogs are just too traumatized in the shelter to pass the temperament test for adoptability. They are fearful or shutdown. Simply taking them out of the shelter and putting them into a stable foster home often makes all the difference in the world. We adopt to people and families that are looking for more than just a pet. Our adopters are truly interested in saving a dog’s life by giving it a forever home. When people adopt from us, they are actually saving 2 dogs: the dog they adopted and the next shelter dog on the euthanasia list that we now have room to foster.

Anyone available to foster this poor dog? He is still at the shelter. We can't help him without a foster home. Per the shelter:

Sampson (A124507), a friendly 10 year old pit bull at the Santa Clara County Animal Services Center. He arrived as a stray on March 24, 2025 with what seem like letters ‘carved’ into his fur and persistent goopy eye trouble. He is, quite simply, a nice dog who would like to live out his life relaxing in the sun with a bit of affection and fun times and a stuffy toy for him to carry around.

Our clinic hasn’t been able to give a complete eye exam, so we’re seeking a rescue organization that can get his eyes taken care of and find Sampson his forever home.

The 3rd grade class at Independent Elementary School in Castro Valley, CA celebrated National Adopt A Shelter Pet Day by working on a persuasive/opinion essay (which is a third grade, third trimester writing standard) convincing their audience to adopt shelter pets. They used the dogs, cats and kittens on our website.

Here are a few samples of their work on the project. To see the whole collection use this link to our website page:

This memory popped up on our FB today. Cassie ended up coming to my house of “misfits”. Six years later and not much has changed. She sleeps on the bed with the humans (and other dogs) where she will cuddle/snuggle, but she still does NOT like to be touched by human hands. The few times that she has needed to go to the vet’s office (mostly for vaccines), we have to corner her into a squeeze crate, so the vet can sedate her with a shot before being examined. She loves being part of the pack, and LOVES meal times. She is happy and healthy - what more could we ask for?

We pulled two more medical rescue dogs yesterday.

Rupert, is a young (maybe a year old?) terrier mix (with Dachshund?), who came to the shelter with a swollen left hind leg. X-rays showed that he has a fractured ankle / foot. One (usually less expensive) option is to amputate, but we will be consulting with our orthopedic surgeon about options to save the foot. He isn't currently on pain medications, and still uses the foot most of the time.

Lola (a Boston Terrier mix), may have some neurological issues - or she just may be a Boston Terrier . . . It was difficult for the shelter's vet to do any relevant neuro testing due to her incessant squirming. We'll have to see if our vet has any better luck.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?

I have hesitated for a while now to post about an incident that happened last month with potential adopters for Courtney and Otis. It was one of the worst experiences I've encountered in the 8 years I have been doing rescue. The whole thing was a real "gut punch" leaving us questioning whether there are any "good people" left in the world to give homeless animals a home.

The family (a father and grown daughter) who live in an area of Northern California that is NOT remotely like the Bay Area. They were very experienced English bulldog owners and knew from first had experience the myriad of health issues that the breed tends to have. They were very nice and pleasant, and couldn't wait to adopt Courtney and Otis as a bonded pair. We thought we had hit the jackpot with this application.

Due to last minute medical issues with Otis, they took Courtney first, then Otis a couple weeks later. We received photos and text updates regularly that everything was going great, they couldn't wait to finalize the adoptions, etc.

Then one Saturday afternoon, they drove 4 hours and angrily dumped the dogs back to us. They gave us no warning, no heads up that they were planning to return the dogs, nothing. They accused us of all kinds of despicable things - abusing the dogs, starving the dogs, lying to them about their medical issues. They threatened to take some kind of legal action, blah, blah, blah. Their language was derogatory and rather filthy. Both dogs were on medications for their eyes and when we went through the returned items, we discovered that the family hadn't given either dog any of the eye drops/ointments they needed to keep their eyes healthy. We worked so hard to get Courtney's eyes to a place where they were healthy. When she was returned, her eyes were in even worse shape than when we pulled her from the shelter. It is unlikely that her eyes can be made healthy again. These people were just monsters. We can only assume that there is mental illness at play here, but for both father and daughter to be in the same state of mind? I don't know.

The saddest part, is that we haven't been able to secure a new foster home for Courtney and Otis since their return. They are the sweetest dogs that just want to be loved and need to be in a home. They are bonded and we will keep them together.

Otis doesn't have any ongoing medical issues (except that he is a p**p eater . . . ), while Courtney (who is likely his mother) will need eye drops and ointment for the foreseeable future. If anyone can foster these two, please reach out to us. Stop by the adoption center at anytime that we are open to meet them.

Skye (whose new name is “Bella”) has found her forever home. Previous adopters (who adopted a number of large dogs from us in the past, including the two in the video with Bella) decided a puppy would be a great addition to their family. We were thrilled that Bella is able live the country life on a horse sanctuary ranch. We don’t think she would have enjoyed the urban lifestyle. Congratulations to Bella and her two siblings, Bodie and Nara!

Anyone visiting our adoption center and taking a peek at the dog adoption area would automatically think, "Wow, so many people adopting our dogs." Unfortunately, looks can be deceiving.

We will always invite visitors to spend some time in the dog area, but many of them assume that the invitation is only for people looking to adopt. Nothing could be further from the truth. Nearly everyone there just wants to hang with the dogs - get their "doggy fix." And our foster dogs LOVE meeting and hanging with people.

Anytime the center is open to the public, we usually have a few foster dogs there as well. So if you need a doggy fix, feel free to drop in and spend some time with the dogs (and also cats!).

And unlike "Cat Town" IT'S FREE!
