East Bay pets of the week for Jan. 2
— Berkeley Humane
Bentley is a big-hearted, playful boy who loves people and being part of the action. He enjoys long, sniffy walks, exploring new places and having a “job” to do before settling in for quality cuddle time. Bentley is affectionate, smart and eager to engage with his handler. He does best as the only dog in the home and thrives with confident guidance, tasty treats and space to focus. After a day of adventure, he’s happiest curled up nearby, soaking in the love. Reach out to customercare@eastbayspca.org to meet Bentley today! The East Bay SPCA offers walk-in adoptions at its Oakland and Dublin campuses from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. For updated and real-time information on programs and offerings, visit eastbayspca.org/adoptions.

Staff members aren’t entirely convinced that Beans is actually a dog. He’s not your typical husky — he doesn’t bark, doesn’t fuss and when he stares into your eyes, he feels remarkably human. This large wolf-like dog will silently request scritches, is a dream with other dogs, large and small, and views every walk as an opportunity to smell every flower there is. He is house-trained and ready to join your family! To meet this Beans or any of our adoptable dogs at Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter, call 510-337-8565 or visit alamedaanimalshelter.org/adopt.

Meet Simone! She is a beautiful, quiet Himalayan/tortie point mix with striking blue eyes and soft, medium-length fur. About 4 years old, she loves lounging, mealtime and gentle pets. She takes a little time to settle in, then shows her sweet, calm nature. Simone is good with other cats, unfazed by barking dogs and would thrive in a quiet home with adults or older children. For information about Simone contact her foster, Aurora, at 925-890-3436 or text Judy at 925-597-0793. Community Concern for Cats now holds weekend adoption events at Pet Food Express stores in Walnut Creek and Martinez along with our regular location at 1250-H Newell Ave. in Walnut Creek. Visit communityconcernforcats.org for more information.
