My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

BONDED PAIR - MUST BE ADOPTED TOGETHER
Candy (female) - born 3/1/2022
Jackson (male) - born 9/1/2020

Losing her apartment meant losing her dogs. Candy and Jackson’s previous owner stopped by the kennel and explained she had lost her apartment and couldn’t find a new one that would take her three dogs. In the meantime she was living with a friend and was allowed one pet. It was a difficult decision but she surrendered Candy and Jackson to AALOC. Both pups are now living with a foster family but they need a permanent home to call their own.

Candy, a female, and Jackson, a male and possibly Candy’s dad, are small, young Chihuahua mixes. Candy is about seven pounds in size and Jackson is about nine pounds. These tiny two dogs are a bonded pair and love to cuddle up together. Both are very friendly, want to give kisses, and like to jump around and play. Candy is particularly fond of belly rubs and both are just as sweet as they come!

Please complete an application to adopt Candy and Jackson at www.AALOC.org. Once your application is reviewed and approved, we will contact you to make an appointment to visit us at AALOC to meet Candy and Jackson and get to know them a bit.

More about this shelter

The Animal Assistance League of Orange County is a non-profit 501(c)3 no kill humane society dedicated to aiding lost and homeless pets, helping people with pet related problems, promoting responsible pet-ownership and pet population control, and preventing cruelty to animals through educational programs.

The organization took its first steps in 1973 with a few animal lovers who wanted to reunite pet owners with lost pets. Today there is a no-kill shelter located in Midway City, with a population of approximately 110 cats and dogs. There is a telephone/email helpline that assists pet owners with a variety of issues, including spay/neuter, pet aid for low-income pet owners, animal abuse and any number of other issues related to cats and dogs.

AALOC is managed almost entirely by volunteers. The reason we do what we do is that we care deeply about animal welfare and hope to make a difference - at least in our part of the world.
