Story
Tommy is a cute and cuddly little boy with an eternally cute face. He was found on the streets with a tumor about 5.5" in diameter in his belly. He lasted a year in treatment with chemotherapy and medication and needed surgery to remove the remaining encapsulated mass. In addition to needing special food to break up a stone bladder, he has ultrasounds to make sure he don't get sediment in his bladder every three months. He is currently a healthy, happy, loving and tender dog. He is very loyal and protective, intelligent and playful. He don't get along well with alpha male dogs, but plays well with puppies and females. He is sociable with children and adults. Tommy is a Border collie mix, and is smaller than a Border collie. When you talk to him he makes a cute and cuddly face, ducks his head and rolls his eyes upwards, I think he knows he is cute and takes advantage of that. Tommy is a dog to spoil, to cuddle and to give him lots of love, since his first family didn't give him all he deserved. The $350.00 adoption fee covers the following: Transport to San Diego, CA. Spay/Neuter. All vaccines up to date. Deworming (puppies 2 sets). Flea medication up to date. Tick control up to date. Microchip. Microchip registration to new owner paid for. Collar.

Story
Meet Nico! This big, strong boy is the sweetest and gentlest dog you will ever meet. High energy and eager to play, he gets along well with dogs and loves to jump and run with them. He loves food and walks (Well, he loves to take you for a run, haha!) And when he sees you, he gets excited and dances with his front paws. His chubby and hairy appearance makes him so cute, with all the personality of a golden retriever/Labrador, loyal but too clumsy and curious, extroverted and with an insatiable desire to smell everything. The $350.00 adoption fee covers the following: Transport to San Diego, CA. Spay/Neuter. All vaccines up to date. Deworming (puppies 2 sets). Flea medication up to date. Tick control up to date.

Meet Butterball! Butterball is a 6-year-old Husky/Border Collie mix who’s as sweet as his name. This handsome 60-lb boy is neutered, affectionate, and loves attention. He’s great with kids and gets along well with other dogs, making him the perfect companion for a family or anyone who loves an affectionate, loyal friend. Butterball enjoys being part of the action — whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, playtime in the yard, or just curling up for snuggles. He’s gentle, loving, and ready to bring so much joy to his new home. Butterball has a brother, Banjo, who is also looking for a home — they can be adopted together or separately. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 (Currently in San Diego) If you’re ready to meet Butterball, reach out to Sabrina 717-377-3588 s.m.morrison97@gmail.comMarch 8, 2026, 8:45 pm

Story
Meet Banjo! Banjo is a 6-year-old Husky/Border Collie mix with striking looks and a big personality. Weighing around 60 lbs and neutered, Banjo loves human attention and thrives on affection. He’s smart, loyal, and has that wonderful mix of Husky confidence and Collie heart. Banjo would do best in a home without small dogs or young kids, but he’s more than ready to be someone’s devoted adventure buddy. He’d love a secure yard, daily walks, and lots of love from his person. Banjo’s brother, Butterball, is also available for adoption — they adore each other but can be adopted separately. (currently in San Diego) Ready to give Banjo a home where he can shine? Message Sabrina (717)377-3588 s.m.morrison97@gmail.comMarch 8, 2026, 8:45 pm

Story
Meet Cinder Cinder is a handsome 7-year-old, 56-pound boy who’s ready to find a home to call his own. He’s neutered, healthy, and just received a clean bill of health from his recent wellness check at VCA this week. Cinder enjoys being out and about and thrives in an active environment. Whether it’s exploring the outdoors, hanging out in a big yard, or joining you for daily adventures, he’s happiest when he has space to move and a person to share it with. When he’s out at places like the dog park, Cinder does well with dogs of all sizes. In the home, though, he prefers to be the star of the show and would do best as the only dog, soaking up all the love and attention for himself. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s ready to join you for walks, backyard time, and everyday adventures, Cinder could be the perfect match. Give this sweet boy the home he’s been waiting for. If interested in Cinder please contact foster Leticia- (707) 2351220 lhumeston@icloud.comMarch 8, 2026, 8:45 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.FOREVER HOME WANTED: MEET ZUZU! Zuzu was adopted from us as a young puppy, but sadly, her family’s situation has changed and she is now back with us looking for a new forever family. Zuzu is a 4-year-old Border Collie mix (best guess) who is smart, loving, active, and ready to find the family that will be her forever. She is house trained, leash trained, crate trained, and knows her basic skills. She absolutely loves other dogs and has even enjoyed doggie daycare in the past! She can be a little rough-and-tumble when she plays, though, so smaller or more sensitive dogs may not appreciate her enthusiastic play style. Zuzu is protective of her people and her home, so she would do best with a dog-savvy family in a quieter, adult-only home where her needs are understood and she can feel secure. Her ideal family will give her structure, daily exercise, daytime adventures, nighttime cuddles, and patient guidance to build her confidence around human strangers. Zuzu is ready for a fresh start and hoping the right family is out there waiting for her. If Zuzu sounds like the right match for your family, please fill out our online adoption application at www.labradorsandfriends.org Zuzu is located in Southern California.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 6, 2026, 10:15 pm

Story
Apollo is an 8-year-old female Mini Australian Shepherd with a sweet, affectionate personality and a playful side that will keep you smiling. She loves being around her people, soaking up attention, and playing a good game of fetch.  At 8 years old, Apollo has settled into a lovely balance of being affectionate and playful while also knowing how to enjoy some downtime with her favorite people. Apollo is only a good fit with older children and will need a home that understands and respects her boundaries. She can also be selective with other dogs and requires appropriate, slow introductions to make sure everyone is comfortable and set up for success. Apollo will receive professional on leash training that will be provided to her new adopters! Apollo is looking for an home that will appreciate her sweet nature, give her the structure and patience she needs, and enjoy all the love and companionship she has to offer. If you're looking for a loyal little companion who still has plenty of fetch left in her, Apollo may be your girl!
