Story

Luna is a very young sweet energetic girl . She enjoys running at the park and grazing . She is crate trained and potty trained . She is very sweet and loves cuddles and face rubs . She also loves walks is eager to smell some grass . I found her under a car at the beginning of November and then had help pulling her from the shelter . Ive now fostered her for a while and have gotten to know this sweet girl very well. She had a terrible skin condition that I am happy to say is gone and her fur is completely grown back . She is very independent as a full time college student with 5 other pets I dont give her as much attention as she deserves and still she is happy as ever to see me. It took me several days to gain her trust so she is a dog that takes time to adjust . I would love to help find/pay a trainer for her future adopter .

He can be a sweet boy but wants to trust but we can see it in his eyes as he sizes up every situation.

Story

Meet Penny, a 6-year-old Basenji mix with a heart full of love and a spirited personality. Originally from Mexico, Penny made her way to California in December 2020 and was quickly adopted. However, she was returned when her previous family found out they were expecting a baby, and Penny wasn’t comfortable around the little one. Penny is a sweet and loving dog who thrives in the right environment. She’s fully house trained, never has accidents inside, and is a joy to have around. Penny enjoys long walks and playing with her toys, but she also loves relaxing and taking naps next to her favorite people. While Penny is not good with other dogs, cats, or kids, she is an ideal companion in a home where she can be the sole focus of attention. She’s working on her reactivity to other dogs on walks, so a patient family willing to help her through her anxiety would be the perfect fit. If you’re looking for a loyal and affectionate dog who will shower you with love and appreciate a calm, dog-free home, Penny is ready to become a cherished member of your family.

Story

My brother got Thor when Thor was just a couple of months old. Thor is a boxer-benseji mix. He has a beautiful pointed nose of a basenji and adorable droopy lips of a boxer. His basenji nature is very interesting. He is clever, independent, and good at cleaning himself. He does not drool. At home, Thor is quite relaxed. He loves to lay next to you and quietly goes to sleep as you pet him. Thor is a lovely dog. He is so gentle and so sweet that it feels great to give him a hug. Thor loves walks. He gets very excited but serious on his walks. You could see the pep in his steps and also the determination in his movements as he patrol his territory around the neighborhood. My brother ran into issues a while back and had to moved back home with my dad and I. I live in a mobile home complex that does not allow large dogs. Our manager said we can’t keep Thor in our complex because he is a big dog. I hope to find Thor a loving family that could care for him and appreciate his good nature.
