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.

He has been taken care of at the shelter since, looking for a loving forever home where he can grow and thrive. • Personality: Friendly, Active, Playful Milo is such a lovable pup who likes to play with people and doggos!

Story
* Special Notes: Jinu was born with a deformity in his left front leg, but it has never defined him. He's learned to walk in his own special way-and he can even run freely, full of joy and confidence. All Jinu needs now is a loving family to stand by his side, believe in him, and show him a world filled with adventures, warmth, and endless love • Rescue Story: Jinu’s story began with a miracle. Last July, his tiny mama was found on the streets and rescued just in time, moments before euthanasia, and brought safely to our partner clinic. On August 3rd, she gave birth to six puppies—Jinu was one of them. Jinu was born with a deformity in his left front leg and had a harder start than his siblings. With special care and love from the clinic staff, he grew up healthy and strong. One of his siblings has already found a forever home, and Jinu is now waiting for his turn at the shelter. Despite his slightly weaker leg, Jinu is a bright, happy, and positive pup who loves life. He deserves a family who will see his resilience and give him the joyful life he’s been waiting for! • Personality: Sweet, Playful, Friendly As a young puppy, Jinu's personality will continue to blossom with love and guidance. He has that joyful puppy energy that fills a home with laughter and happy chaos. • Affinity with - Dogs: Good with other dogs. - Cats: Not tested - Adults/Kids: Loves people! He hasn’t had experience with children yet, but given his young age, he is expected to adapt quickly. • Housetrained: Work in progress • Walking Manners: Work in progress, he is pretty good on a leash! • Likes: Loves people's pets and cuddles! • Shedding level (1~10): Expected to be moderate once fully grown (5–6) • Health - Vaccinations: Currently receiving basic vaccinations - Jinu was born with a deformity in his left front leg, but it has never defined him. He’s learned to walk in his own special way—and he can even run freely, full of joy and confidence. All Jinu needs now is a loving family to stand by his side, believe in him, and show him a world filled with adventures, warmth, and endless love🙏 ------------- **Adoption Fee Information The adoption fee already includes all major expenses, such as: International transportation, Customs and export documentation, Medical care (spay surgery, vaccinations, health certificate, deworming, etc.) For this reason, we kindly ask that you refrain from requesting a breakdown or negotiation of the adoption fee.

Story
Sonny and Cher were found running the streets in South LA, weaving in and out of traffic and circling the blocks scavenging and desperate for food.  He had on a collar so our director watched them for a good 30-40 minutes, hoping they would run home... They suddenly ended up on the steps to the 77th Police Station where they found some old pizza in a planter.  They then proceeded to patrol access and people were too afraid to approach the entrance to the Police station with them guarding the steps, and no one came out or stopped to help, so with only 2 cans of cat food and 1/2 a sandwich from lunch our director decided to see if they would be friends or foes.  Immediately Cher ran up and said hello -- it took about 20 minutes but she was able to get her to jump in the car... Sonny was a whole other story ... it took about 2 hours to catch him, but eventually, the car-trap worked and the duo, as if finally sensing they were safe, curled up into each other for a long rest.  Neither dog was chipped, Cher was in heat, and Sonny was her devoted bodyguard ... we don't know if/when/how they came together -- but once they were both fixed the bond was broken.  He is SUCH a little love -- he does have a bit of separation anxiety now -- but that's likely because he finally feels safe.  He is gentle and sweet and seems to have been potty trained but had clearly never been on a leash and it didn't seem like he was touched very much -- now he LOVES it! And he's getting used to the leash and is a champ in a crate - such a fast learner and a very good boy. We have been looking for their people but no one has come forward and it's time they found homes and someone of their own who can really love and care for them.   Whoever you are -- you're about to have a very BEST FREIND(s) for life!    Please apply HERE: https://forms.gle/67CmuBhiQMf1hYov9March 10, 2026, 6:42 pm
