sh;and she’s been cuddly and affectionate ever since. At first, you might not realize she spent weeks in the shelter because she’s so open and ready to love. Then you notice the way she looks at you, as if she’s quietly asking whether you’ll finally be the one who won’t let her go.
Kerfuffle is a 4-year-old, 13 lb terrier mix who came into the shelter as a stray. Her family was located but ultimately chose not to come back for her, leaving her to wait and wonder if anyone would choose her. Despite that, she remains gentle, hopeful, and full of love.
She hasn’t been in her foster home long, but she’s already shown herself to be kind and respectful with both people and other animals. She enjoys the company of the resident dogs and seems eager to play. She was briefly spooked by the cat once, but so far she’s chosen to ignore him.
Kerfuffle loves walks and hikes with her people and is just as happy curling up on the couch afterward for a good TV binge. She’s quiet, sleeps through the night, does well on car rides, and appears to be crate trained. She’s showing signs of being house trained, though any new home comes with a short adjustment period. She’s a smart girl who truly wants to make her family happy.
Adoption details: Kerfuffle is being fostered in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is available as a foster-to-adopt if her new family is willing to bring her to our vet in Pittsburg, CA for her spay surgery. She is also available for adoption if her new family is willing to arrange and cover the cost of her spay with their own veterinarian.
Her adopter will be a very lucky person—Kerfuffle Canada is ready to give her whole heart to the family who chooses her.

Umbrella of Hope does not have any strict rules on ages of children because all children are different, but our best approximation is that this animal would do best with children over the age of 5
Umbrella of Hope is an all-volunteer, donation-run, non-profit animal rescue based out of Pittsburg, CA that rescues animals from local shelters, places them in private foster homes, provides them with needed medical care and then finds them new homes.
Also, ask us about our seniors for seniors program, where we adopt animals 5 years or older to qualified homes with a $5 donation as an adoption fee. All animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and given any additional treatments (dental work, bloodwork etc) as recommended by our vet.
Adoptions to veterans of the US Armed Services are ALWAYS free to thank you for your service.
