Story
Pretty Delta is a sweetheart. She's a young happy dog who loves to play and be affectionate. Delta's owners got rid of her because they were tired of having dogs. They dumped their 13 year old Shepherd as well. Thankfully, we were able to rescue them before the owners dumped them in one of the local shelters. Delta is great with other dogs and really just a nice, sweet dog. She will be great with another dog in the household or as a single dog. She's a great size at about 50 lbs. We are looking for an adult home with yard access for Delta. Please contact Ingrid (310) 480 6030 pcdrapps@yahoo.com If you'd like to meet this cutie, please fill out our adoption application: http://www.pcdogrescue.org/online_application.html

Story
Meet Scarlett! She is new to the shelter and is such a sweet girl as she continues to settle in. Her previous owner told us she has some obedience training, loves children, and is bilingual! What a smart girl! Scarlett is a gorgeous Basenji mix and about a year and a half. She gets along with other dogs, and loves to go out for walks. Little miss Scarlett is also a professional fetch player! She brings the ball/toy right back and drops it for you, all while having a huge smile plastered on her face, as she loves to play!
