My story

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

Meet very pretty Dixie! The horrible shelter killed her bonded brother so she was very kennel stressed and sad. Now she has decompressed and being fostered at my trainer's ranch. We are looking for a loving forever home for sweet beautiful Dixie. She is dog friendly with proper introductions especially male dogs her size. But her favorite thing is to cuddle and have human
interaction so someone who works from home or is retired would be ideal to give her the
attention she craves. She loves to be in the house or taking walks with her person. Dixie is about 2 yrs old, petite weighs 48 lbs, fully vaccinated and spayed. She is doing great with loose
leash walking, focusing her attention, and knows her basic commands. Message, call, or text
me at 626-483-6936

Additional adoption info

I screen adopters personally and then send them an adoption application to complete. I do not have a website or online application.

Go meet their pets

All dogs for adoption are in foster homes in So. CA where the meet and greets typically take place or at an arranged neutral territory when appropriate. All dogs and family members are required to come in person for the meet and greet if possible. Dog to dog assessments are usually done by my trainer. I do not participate in adoption events.

More about this rescue

I am a small independent rescuer in the San Gabriel Valley in So. CA. I was inspired to get into rescue when I lost my heart of heart dogs Ebony in 2011 and now have been rescuing and saving lives for 13 years. I pull unwanted dogs from high kill shelters, vet and provide training as needed, place in suitable foster homes, and finally good forever homes no matter how long it takes. All of this out of my own pocket most of the time. I pride myself on finding the most amazing adopters and my motto is always to set the dog up for success. I primarily rescue large mixed breed dogs a large percentage which are bully breeds.
