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
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/67CmuBhiQMf1hYov9November 4, 2025, 6:42 pm

Story
**FOSTER NEEDED** Moonie is a 4-year-old Jindo mix with the heart of a loyal best friend and the soul of a goofball. This sweet boy is all about you—he bonds closely with his person and lives for quality time, butt scratches, and the sound of your voice. Talk to him in a high-pitched tone or playfully poke at him, and you’ll be treated to his signature howls and helicopter tail. Moonie absolutely lives for toys, treats, and walks. Once the excitement passes, he’s actually quite calm and loves nothing more than curling up for a cozy nap. Moonie’s story is nothing short of remarkable. He came all the way from South Korea, where he was rescued from a hoarding situation with 75 other dogs. For years, he lived on a chain, never knowing the simple comfort of a soft bed or a caring hand. When he finally made it to the U.S., he arrived with his “wife,” Olive (fka Midori)—that’s what the shelter called her, because they were always together. Sadly, they were separated when they reached safety, but Moonie is now fostered with his daughter, Anya (fka Bellini), making his journey a true family rescue story. After everything he had already been through, Moonie still faced more challenges. He needed dental surgery and had to have 10 teeth removed so he could live without pain. He was treated for mange, and was expressed that he will likely have chronic dermatitis throughout his life. With patience and love, Moonie has transformed into a healthy, happy boy who knows he is finally safe. Despite it all, Moonie’s heart has stayed gentle. He communicates well, especially when he really needs to go out, and has a calm, affectionate nature that makes everyone who meets him fall in love. Moonie is still building confidence around other dogs, but he thrives with companionship and would do great in a home with another calm dog. He doesn’t always play with other pups, but just having another dog nearby gives him a sense of comfort and security. He does well being left alone at home if has a buddy nearby! If you’re looking for a loving, loyal, slightly dramatic (in the cutest way) companion who will fill your days with howls, wiggles, and heart-melting looks, Moonie is ready to meet you.

Story
Hi, I’m HOPE, and boy do I hope you’ll give me a chance. I’m a 2 year old, 60 lb male jindo mix! If you don’t know much about my breed, you should definitely look us up, we’re pretty awesome dogs, if I do say so myself. I’d love to tell you a bit more about my personality! I got my name because even though I come from neglect and hardship, I have a sunny disposition and know my family is out there, I just have to have hope. I am a very calm, gentle and loving boy. The volunteers at the shelter say I’m one of their favorites because I always greet them with soft kisses and a warm doggy smile. Some people even say I give off a soothing energy and might make for an awesome emotional support dog if given the proper training! I’ve never lived in a home before, but I think I’d be a bit of a couch potato, I love relaxing and observing. Although walks are my favorite! I love sniffing around and seeing the world. I do great with other dogs, too! I have been through a lot in my short life. I spent the first 1.5 years chained up in a filthy junk yard in South Korea. My “owner” finally surrendered me to Samson’s Sanctuary, and I was so excited to get the care I needed! I am now living at Samson’s shelter partner in Korea, waiting patiently for my hero. In order to take my freedom flight, I need a committed foster or adopter! Please help me get to LA, I promise I’ll repay you with all the love I’ve got (and it’s a lot!).
