Story
My daughter found this little guy wandering the streets on the out skirts of San Bernardino. He was very dirty, covered in fleas & obviously neglected. The temperature was well into the 90's. She brought him home and started posting on all social media platforms about a found dog. She checked any lost and found pet sites, but nobody called for him. Since that time, he has been living with me, his “ grandmother”. But we already have two large dogs, that are playing too trough with him. He gets along great with our cats. This is the sweetest little guy, but he needs to find a permanent home. He would love to have somebody that is home all day to lay at their feet (Or next to them on the couch, if that is allowed). He gets along well with my two larger dogs, but they are young and very rambunctious. So during the day, when I am at work he either has to be outside with them, or locked up in a crate. Which is not fair to him. He is neutered & microchipped. Guessing he is about 5 yrs old.

Story
This foster of mine, Summer Sunshine loves the sun, she'll pull herself out, of the back door to get some. And yes I said pull, because she can't walk, but she sure likes to bounce and she loves to talk! On Wheelchair Wednesday, our favorite day of the week, she puts on her wheels, and heads towards the creek. Out the door she will run, and bark to "keep up!", I really didn't expect to run with this pup! The people passing by all stop to take a look, she brings them such joy, like a Harry Potter book. Up the hills she will roll, off curbs and across the street, she really goes fast for a pup with two feet! Her diapers are cute, her attitude is spicy, she's snuggly, she's tiny, and a wee bit feisty. She's only two years old, but has been through so much, run over by a car and bitten by another pup. This foster of mine, you just have to meet, she'll wriggle into your heart, especially if you have a treat!

Henry is an 8 pound bundle of energy! He's likely around 10 years old, but you'd never know it with his playfulness and a tail that never stops wagging! Henry loves other dogs!Henry is wary of strangers and feels the need to protect himself. Once he trusts you though, he's the biggest snuggler & will be your tiny shadow. He'll even keep your toes warm by sitting on your feet whenever you're standing in the kitchen! Due to his fear aggression, he should be in a home with no children. Henry will need a human who can work with him to trust new humans with positive reinforcement.He is potty trained, but does mark in new places. Luckily, he doesn't mind belly bands at all! Henry loves to go on walks & run around with other dogs. He recently had a dental and was neutered. He's up to date on shots & flea and tick prevention.

He's a connoisseur of comfort and appreciates a soft, warm spot to rest. At night, he prefers to sleep in his dog bed in the room with his humans, where he can feel safe and loved.Due to a recent dental cleaning and the loss of most of his teeth, Teddy needs soft foods. He's now pain-free and has a healthy appetite, steadily gaining weight. He's a little gourmet in the making! Teddy is a resilient and easygoing companion who's not phased by much. He prefers the company of calm dogs and gentle children who will treat him with the tenderness he deserves.He's good at going potty outside if he can find his way or is taken out regularly. He doesn't mind wearing a belly band when needed, making it easier for his human friends to ensure he stays clean and comfortable.Teddy is a remarkable little man who has blossomed into a whole new version of himself now that he's free from pain and discomfort. He's ready to enjoy his golden years in the comfort and care of a loving retirement home.

Story
Tanner is a very sweet and calm senior boy about 12y that just wants to be where you are. He does not bark, bother with your things or even play with toys for that matter. He does love people, kids as well as treats. He has been the perfect indoor pet, who just wants to hang out and spend most of his day relaxing or hanging with you. Tanner loves to go on walks, hikes, trips to the dog park on a regular basis (but mostly just walks around and not pay too much attention to the other dogs), and seeing new places. He's been on several road trips, camping, pampered at the finest dog friendly hotels, flown to D.C, and even climbed every step of the Lincoln Memorial.Tanner has had spinal surgery, so he has a bit of a limp and needs to be picked up correctly. He needs blankets underneath him when resting (hard for him to lay flat), not climb many stairs if possible. Other than that, he runs around just fine.

Story
Marley is a loving and affectionate companion, especially once he feels comfortable. He is great with kids and other pets after some time to adjust. Marley needs an experienced adopter due to his anxiety-related behavioral issues. Initially, he may react aggressively to new dogs, cats, and people by barking loudly and lunging, but he calms down once he realizes they are not a threat. He also barks at outside noises and has separation anxiety. We love Marley deeply, but with our growing family, we can no longer provide him with the attention he needs.

This dog was born from another dog of mine that I have. He is 5 years old. I would love for him to have a new loving home since I can no longer take care of him. He stays in his cage well and will listen whenever you let him out to play. He loves playing with dog toys such as pull ropes. He is energetic and playful. He does like to bark at other dogs at first until you get to meet him.

Pearl and her sister Coco need a new home. I am pregnant and will be moving soon and can not take them with me. They have been together their whole lives so it would be preferable to keep them together. If they must separate, we are willing. They are very friendly. They will be 10 years old in February but are still very young at heart. They have not had any health issues except for some teeth being pulled. They would be great pets for an elder with time to spend with them.
