Story
Ava is absolutely AMAZING with kids and people of all ages. She loves humans more than anything and craves deep connection — she wants to be as close to her person as possible at all times. If you’re looking for a dog who will adore you completely, Ava is your girl.She is fully potty trained, rides well in the car, and would thrive in a home with a fully fenced, secure yard where she can burn energy and then come inside for cuddles.Ava cannot live with cats due to high prey drive and is recommended as the only dog in the home. While she has had one carefully built dog friendship, she generally has a strong aversion to other dogs. She will also need some continued work on leash skills.Ava deserves a loving home that will embrace her big heart and give her the connection she craves.August 26, 2026, 10:34 pm

Story
Hi! I'm Meg March! I was surrendered by my owner with my siblings. Two of my sisters have been adopted, and their adopters cannot say enough great things about our family traits: very smart, gentle, affectionate, and eager to please. My sisters also learned to walk well on a leash almost immediately. I share these wonderful qualities and have some others I want you to know about, too!At just over a year old and 50 lbs., I am the perfect size for every human pack! Oh, I’m also housetrained. Volunteers say I have the prettiest black coat with copper highlights; you should see it in person! I need confidence and a family that will lead with routine, exercise, and structure so that I learn to trust my humans and feel safe. Will you be my hero? Fill out an application today!March 7, 2026, 3:29 pm

I’m just over a year old and weigh 45 lbs., and I have pawesome genetics, according to my sisters' adopters!

Did I mention that I’m housebroken? I am not the kind to toot my own horn, but I am so similar to my sisters that I cannot imagine how you wouldn't be as happy with me…maybe happier!

Story
Cowboy is a sensitive, introverted boy with a naturally calm and gentle presence. He’s mellow and thoughtful, forming deep bonds with his people rather than seeking the spotlight. When he feels safe, he lights up with full-body wiggles and the sweetest expression.He is eager to please and highly responsive to guidance. After recent trauma, he may be a bit insecure at first, but with safety, clarity, and consistency, he settles in beautifully.Cowboy can do well with balanced, mature dogs who have calm temperaments. And as a bonus, he’s rocking a natural mohawk that would make Mr. T jealous. Gentle, loyal, and devoted, Cowboy is ready for a home that appreciates a soft, steady soul.August 26, 2026, 10:34 pm

Story
🐾 Meet Leia! ❤️ 🐾 Leia is an adorable 9-10-month-old Slate Merle Border Collie who, along with her brother Luke, was surrendered by a breeder. Thankfully, both puppies were rescued by A Ticket To Happiness Dog Rescue, and Leia is now looking for her forever home. ❤️ Leia is fully vetted, up to date on all vaccinations, and spayed. She weighs about 26 lbs and is an absolute sweetheart! 🥰 She is wonderful with people, children, dogs, and cats. She absolutely loves being petted and cuddled and is happiest when she can be close to her people. She is crate trained, leash trained, and potty trained. She does not have separation anxiety and is very well-behaved for her age. As you know, Border Collies are incredibly intelligent, and Leia is no exception! 🧠 She learns new commands SUPER quickly. She is submissive, obedient, eager to please, and loves to participate. She already knows basic commands and walks nicely on a leash. Like all Border Collies, Leia will need daily exercise, training, and plenty of mental stimulation to keep her brilliant mind happy and engaged. A family who understands the breed and is willing to continue her training will be very important for a successful adoption. ❤️ If you are interested in giving Leia the loving forever home she deserves, please text Lin at (949) 331-6299 or email ATicketToHappiness@gmail.com. Thank you for considering sweet Leia! 🐾❤️
