My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Meet Otto - The Tiny Tornado of Charm & Sass

Otto isn't just any Maltese mix - he's a one-of-a-kind spark plug wrapped in fluff with a heart as big as his personality. At around 9 months old and weighing in at a sprightly 11-12 pounds, Otto is still figuring out this whole "growing up" thing - but he's doing it in style.

Otto came to us after finding it tough to share space with a toddler. Honestly, we get it - being a toddler himself, Otto just wasn't ready for the grabby hands and constant attention. He's a sensitive soul with a strong sense of self. Sometimes he's the life of the party, and other times he's off with his doggie crew doing important dog things (read: zoomies, stick inspection, tail-chasing strategy meetings).

Playtime? Count him in.

Other dog? Love them.

Small children? Not his vibe.

Because of his past, Otto's ideal home is one without kids under 10. He's looking for a family that gets his balance of cuddle time and "me time." He has some puppy manners to polish up, but he makes up for it with buckets of love and a truly special personality.

Otto's not just looking for a home - he's looking for a teammate, a playmate, a soft place to land when the world gets a little too loud. If you've got the patience to let him grow, and the heart to love him just as he is, Otto might just be your forever sidekick.

Currently accepting applications here for Best Friend positions - must love dogs and tolerate a little sass!

Additional adoption info

We do our best to get back to every potential applicant but at times we are only able to get back to the strongest applicant. We are a team of volunteers who work full time jobs and do rescue on the side.

Go meet their pets

Most of our fosters are in the San Bernardino area. Our pups are fostered in private homes so appointments must be set up prior to visiting.

More about this rescue

We are a group of friends with a heart and passion for animals, especially dogs. We are drawn to the ones with the sad stories so that we can rewrite their stories and make them happy.
Each of our dogs will be fully vetted (spay/neuter), vaccines and microchip.
An in person home check is required.
