My name is Gunner & Amora!

Amora is a pit bull terrier/boxer/american bulldog mix, is 4-5 years old and weighs approximately 60 pounds. Gunner is a purebred cane corso and turned 5 years old on October 24th, 2020. He is a BIG DOG and weighs 120 pounds. He is a gentle giant and not a jumper. Both are active and playful, but do have their calm moments. They like to play tug-of-war with each other and their humans. Neither growl or nip if you take away toys or food. Amora LOVES to swim and would do well in a home with a pool. Gunner prefers to stay out of the water. Amora also likes to play fetch. They are very smart pups and have learned a few commands. Amora knows: come, stay, go outside, leave it, sit. Gunner knows: go outside, leave it, sit. Amora is fully house-broken and working on leash-training. Gunner is working on house-training with the assistance of Amora, but will need time, effort and patience from his adopters to complete it. He also requires a bit of patience to learn what he can and cannot chew: lots of toys will help! He is not leash-trained due to his size and strength. There are so many amazing things about Gunner: he adapts to your energy very easy, he is caring, his is alert, does not bite, loves feet, he is truly the best kind of friend. Both are good with kids and very sweet and loving with their family. Amora is as loyal as can be. She is a well behaved dog and she is great with kids and guests. She is protective and alert, very active, house broken. She always aims to please her humans. She is dog selective and does not get along with small animals or other large breed females. She does perfectly with Gunner and he's all she wants in a canine companion! Gunner is good with other dogs and, despite his size and strength, he is quite submissive to other canines. He is not a very confident dog and is a bit timid. His sister's confident, outgoing personality perfectly balances out his own. Amora and Gunner would make a wonderful pair to a home looking for a couple of goofy, gentle, loving large breed buds. They really adore each other and howl/cry whenever they are apart. Their adoption fee as a pair is $685 and covers the costs of spay/neuter, all core vaccines (Rabies and Distemper/Parvo), microchips and microchip registrations. If you are interested in adopting, please complete an application, available on our website, poochmatch.com, under the adoption tab and please read the paragraphs below for more details on our process.

If this listing is still posted, we are still accepting applications for him/her. We do not do out-of-state adoptions on highly adoptable dogs; we would only consider out-of-state adoptions for dogs that prove hard-to-place locally. We cannot hold dogs, please submit your application when you are ready to adopt.

UPDATE: ADOPTION EVENTS CANCELLED DUE TO PANDEMIC AND SOCIAL DISTANCING. If you are interested in meeting any Poochmatch dog at our weekly adoption event on Saturdays at the Petsmart in Yorba Linda, CA (5521 Mirage St.) between 1-5 PM, please fill out an application from our website, poochmatch.com, and submit it no later than 11 AM on Fridays. Upon receipt AND approval, the dog you are interested in meeting will be made available to meet on a Saturday. Due to the high volume of dogs and puppies in our foster homes, it is impossible to bring them all every Saturday. The only way to ensure that the dog that you are interested in will be at the adoption event is to FILL OUT AN APPLICATION AND BE APPROVED. Otherwise, we cannot guarantee that the dog you are interested in will be at our adoption event. If you cannot make the time frame of our events, appointments can be made at another time and location solely at the discretion of the foster parent. Please understand that private appointments will be coordinated to meet the convenience of the foster parent/transporter. We cannot hold dogs, please submit your application when you are ready to adopt.

All adoption fees cover the mandatory and non-negotiable spay/neuter, rabies, microchip, microchip registration, full sets of core vaccinations (rabies and 1 set of distemper/parvo for adults, 4 for puppies) and deworming. Adoption fees vary based on age, breed, size and the costs incurred on the dog's behalf by us i.e. medical, behavioral training, etc. and they range from $225-$495.

COVID-19 PROCEDURE:
In an effort to create a safe environment for our potential adopters and our staff, we have changed our protocols and procedures during these difficult times. Starting immediately, our procedures will change from what’s written on our website and other social media platforms. Our weekly adoption event at the Petsmart in Yorba Linda is temporarily cancelled due to COVID-19 and social distancing. The only way to meet one of the dogs/puppies we have available for adoption is through completion of our adoption application through our website, poochmatch.com, before 11 AM on Fridays. On Fridays when we review the applications, we will pick the best fit for each dog or puppy applied for and coordinate mutually agreeable appointment times for the applicants who are approved that week. Private appointments are currently only scheduled on Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday of each week. Masks or bandanas are mandatory; faces must be properly covered.

With the overwhelming desire of the public to adopt at this time, we have received as many as 30 applications for one dog in just one week. Working with a staff of volunteers, we are only able to reach out on Fridays to the people we have approved to adopt. If you have not heard from us by Friday, we have selected a different applicant. If you have multiple dogs/puppies that you are interested in, please indicate each dog/puppy of interest on the application at that time so we don’t rule you out for another dog/puppy available for adoption.

Please understand, we have an influx of texts, phone calls and emails that makes it impossible to get to each and every one of you. Not just for adoption interest, but also from veterinarians, people who must relinquish dogs, people who have found a stray dog in need of pick up, etc. We are currently not in need of fosters. Due to the fact that there is such a high demand, we are sticking with strict protocol to not adopt out of Southern California. We apologize for this inconvenience and difficulty to be able to get in touch with us while there is an overwhelming desire and demand to adopt at this time. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we navigate through these difficult times with every intention to keep the public and our staff safe.
