House-training is a process that will need to be completed by their adopter. Puppies, if left unsupervised and not redirected will develop negative behaviors such as using the restroom in the wrong place, chewing, barking, whining, etc. Please be sure to do research on raising a puppy and be sure that you are prepared to do so.

He was rescued from the Long Beach shelter and came to us super shy and closed off. Tai’s forever home will need to have another outgoing dog, to show him how to be a dog, and a human who has a lot of love and patience to help bring out his personality full time. He is a very playful dog once he gets to know you and would do best in a low-traffic home. Having another dog is a must for Tai.

She is approx 11 months old and under 30lbs (we don't see her getting that much bigger). Jasmine was found as a stray near Riverside and was red-listed at the shelter due to lack of space.  From spending just more than 10 minutes with Jasmine, you'll find that she has the sweetest personality. If you're lucky enough to take her home, you'll find that she comes out of her shell and is a curious, affectionate girl. She loves playing with other dogs (she is currently fostered with another dogs and some cats) and her ideal home will have another playful dog for her to be siblings with. She is house-trained, knows basic commands, has 1 blue eye and 1 brown eye, and is just the sweetest girl.  To meet me Jasmine, submit an application at  https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.htmlApril 21, 2025, 12:12 pm

Story
I got Jackie from a Shelter while on vacation about three years ago. She was a puppy and with litter of her siblings. They said she was an Australian cattle dog. I realized how anxious she was while driving to the airport with her and putting her in a crate for the plane (shaking and loud crying). Her anxiety has only gotten worse. She shakes a lot do the time. I do have a loud household with two teenage boys and one of them has autistic meltdowns. She loves walks and running on the beach. She loves her sister dogs. She likes meeting other dogs and other people when on walks or when on the beach but she can get easily scared and yips at dogs when scared by size or hyper movements of dogs. She likes licking hands of people she meets as long as they approach her calmly.

These pups are in Irvine, California too!

Story
Nori is a spirited and loyal Korean Jindo with a heart as big as her energy levels! She is 2 years old and has the perfect mix of curiosity, intelligence, and boundless enthusiasm. She loves to explore the outdoors, going for long walks, and playing with toys. Much like other Korean Jindos, Nori is incredibly loyal and independent, but once she bonds with you, you'll have a best friend for life. She is looking for a home that understands the unique needs of the Jindo breed and someone who can match her energy, offer consistent training, and provide her with plenty of mental and physical stimulation. She is able to coexist with other dogs but does best as the only pet in the home and would thrive in a space with a secure yard where she can stretch her legs and bask in the sun. Nori is house trained, healthy, and up-to-date on all her vaccinations. If you are an active person or family looking for a devoted companion, Nori is the perfect pairing! Adoption price is negotiable!
