Story
Hi I'm Judy! My owner left me on the side of the 210 freeway tied to a pole. A human scooped me up after seeing me there 2 days in a row and brought me into the shelter. I was a little sick and a little skinny, but my tail never stopped wagging. Despite my past, I am an incredibly approachable, sweet, and docile girl : ) I am easy to walk on a leash, I'm quiet, and I love pats on the head and kisses. I'm good around other dogs, all people, and children too! Come visit me at my foster parents, you won't regret it.

Story
Rocky Maivia is a 3 year-old energetic and playful Boston Terrier. He literally gets along with all dogs; both big and small. He loves to play fetch with either his frisbee, a ball, or any random toy. He enjoys lengthy walks and loves sitting on laps while napping. He is a wonderful dog, but I am going back to school and just don't have the time to care for him properly. He knows how to sit, lay down, stand, play dead (bang bang), and is house trained. He needs attention and I would prefer he go to a loving family rather than a single, but am open as long as you understand the time commitment. He does occasionally suffer from severe reverse sneezing but I have been having success with immunity chews and can recommend some of his favorite treats. I need to rehome him before May 1st, please let me know if you're interested and I'll get back to you promptly. Thank you!

Story
Kevin came to us from a man who has to move back home overseas. He is black and white (with a little brindling) We think he is a Puggle- Boston Terrier and Pug mix. He is super sweet and loves to snuggle and trot when he goes for a walk. He is about 17 pounds He is very happy and friendly to all. He walks well on leash and loves playing with other dogs and people....
