Story

Meet Kanaka, a sweet and gentle soul. One look at that smile and you'll understand exactly why everyone who meets Kanaka falls head over heels. This handsome, scruffy boy radiates warmth and gentleness in everything he does. He is truly a sweet, gentle soul through and through. Kanaka gets along well with most other dogs, making him a wonderful addition to a home with an existing furry family member, or equally happy as the sole recipient of all your love and attention. Either way, this boy is going to fit right into your heart and your home. Still young and brimming with curiosity, Kanaka is eager to explore the world alongside the right person or family. He's playful and full of life, though new situations and new people can make him anxious at first. With a little time, patience, and gentle encouragement, his confidence blossoms and his sweet personality shines through. Kanaka is looking for a dog-savvy family with plenty of patience who understands that trust is built at his pace. He deserves someone who will match his gentle energy with understanding, love, and a warm place to call his own. Could that be you? Please visit our website www.promise4paws.org to fill out an adoption application to this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

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

Ooyoo is a beautiful, incredibly smart girl weighing about 45 pounds born in 2021. Sadly, her senior owner can no longer provide the care and activity she needs, so Ooyoo is looking for a loving new home.This clever girl has been taught to retrieve phones, remotes, and leashes and can even open doors! She can be reserved at first, but once she trusts you, she bonds closely and is affectionate and loyal.Ooyoo would thrive with someone who can provide regular walks, structure, enrichment, and continued leash training. She does have some separation anxiety and may howl when left alone. Her owner also reports that she can be protective on walks and may growl if another dog gets too close.Ooyoo is a special girl with so much potential—she just needs someone ready to give her the next chapter she deserves.October 20, 2026, 9:29 pm
