Story
BELLA had a home and her family surrendered her to a rescue in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Juno's Den and Huellitas Diferentes decided to help her find a home in the PNW. She is an extremely shy pup initially who needs an experienced handler and someone knowledgeable about her breed. She gets along well with most dogs, but can be selective at times. Therefore, she will do better as an only dog. She is very affectionate and cuddly. Loves to play fetch and run. Bella will do best with an active, all adult family, and a fully fenced yard. She is housebroken and crate trained. She doesn't have separation anxiety but prefers to be around her people. ##2122004##

Story
Hi there I am NalaI am a mature, self confident dog who would love to find a forever home. I live now with other dogs who I love to play with, cats who I respect and play with if they want to, and kids who like to pet me. I have not had much experience with toys, but I do love a good game of tug. I like to be active, but I am good to just chill out with you too. Nothing like an evening of cuddling with the family to make my day complete.I like car rides, I do not get sick, and I stay calm. My foster says I make a great copilot. I know all my basic commands like sit and stay and I love to walk. When I am walking with my foster I stay close and walk at their pace. If it sounds like we would be a good fit, then just fill in the application and we can meet on a Zoom call.Just waiting for you.NalaThis dog is currently in foster care in La Paz, Mexico, but will be transported upon adoption or foster placement. As a U.S. nonprofit, Hope 4 La Pawz, handles all logistics and provides full behavioral and medical info in advance.

Story
🐾💜Meet Daphne💜🐾 The Brave, Cuddly Former Mama Ready for Her Own Happily Ever After! Hello there! My name is Daphne, and I am a 17-pound Chihuahua mix, 4 years old. I am fully spayed, up-to-date on all my vaccines, and ready to start the most exciting chapter of my life. My story started in a high-kill shelter where I was protecting my six tiny puppies. Thankfully, we were rescued! All of my babies have found their forever homes, and now it is finally my turn to be the center of someone’s world. My Journey: From Terrified to Triumphant. When I first arrived at my foster home, I was incredibly timid, shy, and absolutely terrified of human touch. The world felt like a very scary place. But with a lot of patience and love, I have made massive progress! Today, I am a completely different dog:The Shadow: I have discovered that humans are actually wonderful. Now, I happily follow my foster family all around the house just to see what they are up to. A Certified Cuddle Bug: Once I know I can trust you, I absolutely love lots of cuddles! Getting pets and being close to my people is my new favorite thing. The Ultimate Sleep Buddy: Just like my daytime routine, I like to stay close at night. I curl up and sleep right in the big bed with my people. My Social Life & Playtime. While I am still learning to trust new humans at first, I am an absolute natural with other dogs! I feel so much braver when I am around other canines. I love playing with all the dogs in my foster home, and having a doggy sibling to show me the ropes really helps my confidence shine. My Ideal Forever Home. Because I have come such a long way, I am looking for a patient adopter who will continue to celebrate my milestones. A home with another friendly dog would be amazing to help me keep building my confidence. I promise that if you give me just a little time to adjust to your routine, I will reward your patience with total devotion, endless tail wags, and the sweetest cuddles you've ever had.I’ve done my job raising my babies—now I’m ready to be your baby. Could your home be my happily ever after? Adoption Process Application Submission – Start by completing our adoption application on our website.

Story
Some dogs are perfectly happy being extras. They wander through the background of life, making brief appearances and then disappearing again.Bubbles is not one of those dogs.Bubbles is absolutely convinced she is the main character.She approaches life with enthusiasm, curiosity, and the firm belief that something exciting is about to happen. She loves to play, loves to learn, and loves having someone special to follow from room to room, just in case they need assistance with whatever important activity they are doing.For the last two and a half years, however, the story has not gone according to plan.You see, every main character eventually gets to their big moment. The chapter where they find their family. The scene where they finally walk through the front door of the place they belong. The happy ending everyone has been waiting for.Bubbles has been patiently waiting for that chapter to begin.The strange thing is that she is ready for it. She is smart, fun, affectionate, and full of personality. She lights up when she trusts someone and gives her whole heart once she decides you are her person.Yet somehow, her story is still sitting on the shelf waiting for the next page to be turned.Additional chapters, photographs, and behind-the-scenes footage of Bubbles' story can be found here:https://hope4lapawz.org/wp1/bubbles-2023056DWe think it’s time someone fixed that.Bubbles isn’t looking for a temporary role or a guest appearance. She is looking for her forever family. The people who will finally give her the starring role she was always meant to have.And honestly?We’ve been waiting for that chapter, too.This dog is currently in foster care in La Paz, Mexico, but will be transported upon adoption or foster placement.
