Buddy is a very special pup looking for a very special adopter. This sweet, 7-year-old spaniel mix with the heart-melting eyes is a very sensitive, anxious boy who needs a lot of patience, understanding, and gentle attention.

Buddy's foster calls him "a cuddle bug and a great couch companion." But it takes Buddy quite a while to warm up to new people, and though he's getting better with anxiety medication, we know he'll need lots of time to adjust to life in a new home. He needs someone with the patience to wait for him to come out of his shell in his own time.

One thing that helps Buddy quite a lot? Living with other social dogs who are about his size. He currently lives with a few fellow small dogs and he loooves to do zoomies with them in the yard! We think having another dog in the house will be crucial for Buddy's success, so if you have social small dogs at home, Buddy would love to meet you!

Can you help us spread the word about this special guy? While his needs are pretty specific, we're certain the right home is out there! Let's find Buddy the home he deserves! Call us at 415-506-6625 if you think you might be the right fit.

Welcome to the first Monday adoption slideshow of December! With the winter holidays fast approaching, we can't help but wonder... wouldn't you be infinitely more cozy with a new furry friend at home??? If you're thinking, "Yes! Bring me all the new friend cozy vibes," then head to marinhumane.org/adopt to check out the animals ready to head home for the holidays. And as always, congratulations and THANK YOU to last week's adopters!

2024 is nearly here (shocking, we know!) so if you need a calendar to keep you on track in the new year, we've got you covered! Your wall will be 100% cuter with a Marin Humane 2024 Calendar, guaranteed.

Each month of our calendar features a winner of our 2023 photo contest, and every single contest entry is included. That's a whole lot of cute in one calendar! And all the proceeds support our shelter animals. Win-win!

If you'd like to purchase one (or a few!), place your order here: https://bit.ly/46Tl1Tj or at the link in our bio. We offer two convenient options: we'll mail the calendar to you, or you can stop by our Novato campus to pick it up in person.

Joss is a gorgeous boy looking for a chill, cat-savvy home. Bonus points if that home has a safe outdoor space, like an enclosed garden or patio (or catio)! A little supervised outdoor stimulation makes Joss an extra happy boy.

Joss starts out a little shy but after some wand toy play he warms up, and you'll soon see him rolling around on the floor or rubbing on legs asking for affection. He's also quite the conversationalist!

Joss is about 2 years old and ready for his forever family to come along. Give us a call at 415-506-6225 to meet him!

* Thanks to a very generous bequest, we're waiving adoption fees on all our adult cats - including Joss! - until we reach 100 adoptions. *
