Story
This cute boy is Tai, he’s an approx  one year old super mutt and around 40lbs. 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. To meet him, apply for him at https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html

Story
Rescued as a stray. Molly is a sociable little girl who does well with her canine bunkmates and humans as well. She has a calm demeanor and quiet nature, especially for a puppy! She enjoys getting walked and sunbathing is at the top of her favorite joy list along with food, of course. she is young and would make a great family pet. For additional information, call Lydia at 714-357-8405. Please do NOT call to ask if this puppy is available for adoption. If this listing is still posted then we are still accepting applications. Please read the narrative in its entirety. Please note our adoption procedures are explained in GREAT DETAIL BELOW. READ, READ, READ. Thank You. . . . . The best match will be selected and contacted to confirm an appointment at Petsmart in Yorba Linda on Saturday between noon and 3 pm or on a mutually agreeable day, time and place. We do not do out-of-state adoptions for puppies and we cannot hold puppies; please submit your application when you are ready to adopt. If you are interested in meeting any Poochmatch dog, please visit our website to complete an adoption application. It is in the ADOPTION folder at the top of our home page. Just fill in the blanks and SEND. The adoption fees cover the mandatory and non-negotiable spay/neuter, rabies, microchip, microchip registration, core vaccinations including rabies and 4 sets of distemper/parvo and deworming. Adoption fees vary based on age, breed, size and the costs incurred on the dog's behalf by us i.e. medical, behavioral training, etc. Puppies are not house-trained although they may have begun crate-training and/or potty pad training in their foster home, depending on their age. 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. This is a great article from 3LostDogs that explains the trials and tribulations of puppyhood: http://3lostdogs.com/things-wish-everyone-knew-before-they-get-dog-2/

Story
FINN! ADOPT ME! I'M READY TO CRAWL INTO YOUR HEARTS! Finn is a mystery mutt. We guessed chi corgi at first, but they seem to have outgrown the chi part, we've considered Basenji, Shepherd, Min Pin, and more but the truth is we really don't know. 🤣 We think they will be medium large sized (55ish pounds) but we're not making any promises at this point. Finn is fixed, vaccinated and microchipped. He's about 7.5 months old. Finn has been raised with dogs of all sizes. He gets along with them all. He's very happy go lucky. He loves to play. Working on his housetraining but getting there. He does pretty well on leash and loves to go to Starbucks! Crate trained, but he didn't really like the crate. He's not cat friendly. Currently in foster in So Cal, can be adopted anywhere in California. Adoption fee of $300 includes neuter, microchip, core vaccines, and free access to online training programs that we purchase. Please apply here to adopt:. Adoption Application We require an application before scheduling a meet and greet. Thank you!

What are you waiting for? Apply today! Click here to apply for the pet FRESNO, CA (CENTRAL CAL)- ID #A037260 - FRESNO ANIMAL CENTER- ONLY 37 LB, YOUNG FEMALE CHOW/SHIBA INU? X FOUND AS A STRAY– friendly, social, non reactive to other dogs at shelter so far 8/1 DEADLINE @4 pm- X URGENT, SHELTER IS FULL, will be euthanized soon for space; ADOPTABLE, ALTHOUGH LIKELY ALSO NEEDS RESCUE- FOSTER ALSO NEEDED ASAP Please help us find a loving home or foster and or rescue asap for this extremely urgent situation. According to the shelter, this beautiful girl was sadly found as a stray. They told us, “ Kuromi presents as friendly and social with people but when given freedom, is independent and prefers to wonder in the yard by herself. She has not shown any aggression with our staff or when within proximity of other dogs. We will try to attempt dog testing her for you but cannot guarantee it will be done today. Kuromi was picked up by our officers after a member of the public called in to report her attempting to attack their dog while on a construction site.“ However, “Upon arrival, our officer had no issues securing Kuromi and did not witness any aggressive behavior from her towards another dog. She has not had anyone come forward to reclaim her.” Shelter notes state, “Behavior with finder: RP stated that the dog is friendly with women and kids but does not like men or other dogs. Behavior observed during intake: Dog was wiggly allowed me to handle and vaccinate with no issues. Dog walked well on lead to kennel. Dog did not react to other dogs while walking pass them in their kennels.” Therefore, we believe she needs a slower intro with dogs, and may have just been starving before. Fondly named Kuromi by the shelter, they estimated she is 3 years young and weighs only 37 lbs. The also said, “she has no currently or noticeable medical concerns. We are also uncertain if she is shaved or if that is her natural fur length.“ She is listed as a chow mix, but may also have some shiba inu or even jindo in her due to her size, and possibly shorter fur, although she could have also been trimmed. They initially listed her incorrectly as part akita causing her to be very overlooked. We have requested a breed change from chow/akita mix to chow shiba inu or with jindo since she is smaller than the average chow even. We are hoping some responsible home can either step up or offer to foster for a rescue before it is too late. Rescues need a foster and a place for a dog to go, foster ideally should be local to the dog or a willing rescue. The shelter has let us know of her urgency and said, “Kumori has been available for adoption since her stray hold ended on 7/21/26” but “does have a deadline of 8/1/26 @ 4PM.” She will therefore likely be euthanized right afterwards if no one or no rescue steps up due to lack of space and high intake. We were given video and additional pictures that we will post online. If you can adopt directly in person, please contact the shelter immediately by calling 559-621-7387 & provide her ID. Kuromi’s’ listing link is: https://24Petconnect.com/DetailsMain/FRNO/A037260 If you can possibly foster for a rescue, please contact robinmorgan@cox.net or Southern California Chow Chow Rescue Network asap who is trying to assist the shelter with her placement, so we can try to pair you with a rescue to help. Rescue groups may email the shelter directly AnimalCenterTransferPartners@fresno.gov & Erika.Rocha@fresno.gov Videos, additional pictures and updates will be posted on facebook at: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10169365314683125&id=783968124&mibextid=wwXIfr See less What are you waiting for?
