France (ID# 17576)

DOB: 12/17/20
Adult (1 year old and up)
Feale
Siamese/Domestic Short Hair
Seal Point/Cream
Medium (6 to 10 lbs)

Meet France!

Lovely, blue-eyed France is a silly, gentle, and happy Siamese mix with a calm, affectionate nature. She adores human interaction and is especially fond of ear scratches, lap naps, and cozy cuddle sessions on couches and beds. When she gets excited, she shows her love through enthusiastic licking and the occasional playful love nibble, all part of her fun and endearing personality.

At about 5 years old, France has a comfortable medium energy level – mostly quiet and relaxed, but still curious and playful. She enjoys toys like mice and balls and loves a good game of peek-a-boo. She’s sociable with adult humans, though a bit shy at first, and blossoms into a cuddly, affectionate companion once she feels safe.

France is a medium-sized gal at about 8 pounds and is very food-motivated. With only a few teeth left, she thrives on wet food and soft treats, which she happily accepts as part of her daily routine. Sweet, curious, and content, France is the kind of kitty who brings warmth, calm, and joy to any home lucky enough to have her. 💙

Barkley (ID#16207)

DOB: 8/7/22
Adult
Male
Pit bull Mix
Brown brindle
Large (51-90 lbs)
Adoption Fee: $ 250
In Foster
Longterm Resident
Dogs: OK
Cats: OK

Hi! I’m Barkley and I didn’t come into the shelter looking this sleek and handsome (I was handsome – just not THIS handsome). I went straight into foster so I could get some ‘meat on my bones’ which is exactly what happened. I am now a healthy 61 pounds, love dogs and humans, and was potty trained within 2 days (I use the dog door like a champ!).

I am very food motivated (I was actually starving prior to rescue) and guard my food a bit- I’m getting better after only 3 weeks. I play really great with the other 2 dogs in the house and share toys without issue.

I am learning not to jump on everyone when I meet them (I am just so darn excited to meet you!). I have met small dogs too without issue. I did almost take out foster moms knee with my hard head when running into the house (I didn’t see her…sorry and she’s fine by the way) so a house with older kids if you have any would be better for everyone. I have a bit of separation anxiety and am learning that the humans do return – so I will settle down after making a little ruckus.

I need someone who understands I am strong and still need ongoing training support but I am a super awesome doggo – won’t you let me show you?

DOB: 7/21/20
Adult
Male
Rottweiler-Great Pyrenees Mix
Tan, White
Large (51-90 lbs)
Adoption Fee: $150
In Foster
Dogs: OK
Longterm resident

Well, hello! I’m Bobby! I’m a Rottweiler/Great Pyrenees mix (with a bit of Giant Schnauzer and Bernese Mountain Dog). The humans here tell me I have beautiful, loving eyes and am quite the looker! I just know…I love hanging out with people I trust AND KNOW. But I’m fearful of strangers and that fear presents as jumping and barking at strangers, so it takes time to get to know me. But once we’re friends, I’ll love you forever and be the most loyal companion. I love playing with other dogs, even ones that are smaller than me, because, let’s face it, most dogs are smaller than me! So I would love to play with another doggo pal! Due to my extra large size, I would do best in an adult-only home. I try to have good leash manners but I’m a strong boy so I need an equally strong, confident handler in case I see something fun to chase-like a squirrel! I would love for you to come meet me! And if you already have another dog, bring them to meet me to see if we will get along.

Lincoln (ID#15606)

DOB: 1/5/21
Adult
Male
Pit bull Mix
Brown brindle
Large (51-90 lbs)
Adoption Fee: Sponsored

The first thing you need to know about Lincoln is this: he just wants to sunbathe while you rub his belly. That’s his love language.

Lincoln is a one-of-a-kind pup with a gigantic head and two adorably crossed eyes-we tease him about it all the time, and luckily, he doesn’t seem to mind. As long as there are treats involved, you can say whatever you want. This boy will sit, pose, and probably run for president if you’re holding a biscuit.

Lincoln walks at an alarmingly slow pace. So slow, in fact, that we lovingly call him “Eeyore on a stroll.” He takes his time, soaking in the world around him with the chill vibe of a true couch potato in training.

Despite his laid-back style, Lincoln has gathered a loyal fan base at the shelter. Everyone adores his sweet, goofy nature and calm, loving presence.

Lincoln has been with us for almost two years-through no fault of his own-and he’s more than ready to leave kennel life behind. The shelter environment has been hard on him, and he’ll need some patience and training as he transitions to a home. But we know this: Lincoln is an amazing dog. He just needs the right person to believe in him.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who wants nothing more than belly rubs, a cozy couch, and a little sunshine, Lincoln might be your guy. He’s ready to be someone’s best friend. Could that someone be you?

She gets along well with other cats and kittens and would love a buddy to romp around with. And that tiny crook at the end of her tail?

Jay Aranda

Jay volunteers on the weekends to help comfort, walk and play with the HSNB big dogs. His goal every weekend is to give the dogs a slice of what it must feel like to be loved like his own dogs are loved. Whenever he’s with the HSNB dogs, he wants them to feel like they have a big brother they can always count on!

When our dogs are finally adopted and Jay sees all of the wonderful photos & videos of them living their best life, it makes it all so worthwhile!–Especially when he remembers them looking so afraid and confused when they first arrived at the shelter.

Volunteering at a shelter is hard work but also profoundly rewarding. Jay knows how much our HSNB dogs look forward to interacting with their human buddies, if even for just a short period of time.

Jay’s motto in life is: “To live a life of service, purpose, meaning and impact.”

Our HSNB dogs are Jay’s north star. He joined the HSNB Board as an Advisory Member with the above inspiration in mind.

A small animal veterinarian for 20 years – including 11 years dedicated exclusively to feline medicine – she has cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, and reptiles throughout her career. Her passion for animal welfare began before veterinary school at the East Bay SPCA, where she worked for several years in both adoptions and the veterinary clinic. Jennifer has practiced in and around the Benicia/Vallejo area for the past 18 years and has long admired HSNB’s mission. Married with two teenage children, she shares her home with five cats (Boshi, Rory, Bowie, Phoebe, and Harriet) and a small dog named Leo who definitely thinks he is a cat!

Currently serving as Senior Vice President at Sephora, she brings a diverse background in communications, project management, learning & development, and retail operations.

Lisa Nicole Szucs

In 2014, Lisa joined the Humane Society of the North Bay as a volunteer pet photographer. After a single afternoon of photographing adoptable cats and dogs, she was hooked. Since then, Lisa has photographed more than 800 dogs and cats for adoption—as well as a few guinea pigs, rabbits, and a pair of pet ducks. Lisa takes great pride in capturing the unique personality of each animal she is privileged to photograph. This happens by getting to know a subject before she unpacks her camera. After spending some quality kennel time (including belly rubs or ear scratches), she’s ready to raise the lens. The goal of each session is to portray adoptable animals in their best light in hopes of attracting a prospective forever person or family. As a shelter volunteer, the “paycheck” comes when adoption papers are complete and a previously unwanted animal takes the final Freedom Ride out of the shelter gate to a permanent, loving home. Lisa is proud of her past work on the HSNB Board of Directors and Animal Welfare Committee, and she is always excited to work with our outstanding staff and volunteers. She currently serves as a senior mentor on the HSNB Dog Walkers Team and contributes a weekly “Pets of the Week” column to the Benicia Herald. When not at the shelter, Lisa works in employment services and enjoys time with family and friends. She shares a home with four rescue dogs—two pit bulls, a dachshund mix, and a chihuahua—all adopted from HSNB.
