Story
Presenting Minnow! Minnow is a feisty and fearless little lady available for adoption. Brought to a local veterinary hospital by Animal Control after being hit by a car, Minnow was unable to walk. The hospital staff lovingly cared for Minnow as she healed. They thought they were going to lose her a couple of times but this little lady has a big spirit and zest for life! Her teeth say she's around 8, but her mind thinks she's a kid. Minnow loves stuffed animals and is very playful. She is slow to warm up to new people and is pretty independent but would love to be a lap dog. Minnow would do best in a home where someone is there all the time. She is approximately 8 years old and less than 10 pounds, spayed, vaccinated microchipped. We think she's a cross between a Chihuahua and Dachshund.

Story
Cap has been a backyard dog all his life but loves attention from people. His is 6 years old now. Super loving dog and very energetic. He’s never been socialized with other animals so he should be an only pet until he is trained properly. He loves walks and playing with his toys. He needs a new home because his previous owners could no longer care for him. He is being foster right now by people who love him but can’t keep him.

Sampson is about 1.5 years old. He is 1000% housebroken. He minds well and doesn’t run away. He is good with kids and female dogs. Maybe be careful around other male dogs. He is super sweet. Initially when my brother got Sampson, he had separation anxiety but the situation is improving. My brother lives in a 1 bedroom apartment and no yard. Come check out Sampson. He’s a really nice dog.

Presley

Miniature Poodle Maltese

Male, 8 yrs 9 mos
Culver City, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Presley is an 8 year old, 18 lb maltipoo! He is friendly with people and is excited to meet new people and get pet. However, he can be nippy if someone reaches out to touch him and he didn't ask for it. People need to let him come to them when he wants pets. He gets along with other dogs and loves to play with them outside of the home (dog parks, on walks, on play dates), but needs to be the only dog in the household. Also, no kids for this guy. Presley really bonds to his people but needs to learn boundaries from the beginning. He is a very sweet and cuddly dog on his terms, hes house trained, and hes good on a leash. He just needs some boundaries in the home to help curb the occasional behavior issues

Story
Handsome Brando is a 14lb, 13 year old Chiweenie (chihuahua/Dachshund mix) who looks fantastic in a bowtie. He loves walks, belly rubs, and love & attention from his human. He takes a little while to warm up to other dogs and cats, but he does well with them once he does! He currently lives with other dogs and a cat and does well with them. He is house trained. Brando and does well with people with slow introductions. Once he knows you, hes a cuddly sweet guy who wants to be by your side and loves you! Because he can be "moody" when meeting new people, he just needs a little patience and understanding until he can open up and show his true, loving personality.
