Story
Dukes owners, my aunt and uncle are relocating back to England to be near family due to health issues and are not able to have a dog, so sadly they are unable to take him with them. They got him from the Palm Springs animal shelter about 2 and a half years ago. He is a sweet boy, lovely temperament. He has been around their Grandchildren who are 2-6 years old. He gets on well with other dogs. Not sure about how he feels about cats. He is roughly 4 years old now and is 28lbs. If you are interested please let me know, Duke is a good boy and deserves a good home!

Story
Cherry is one of more than 25 little dogs left behind after an eviction — a heartbreaking situation that left them scared, unsure, and just trying to survive together. They’ve all come a long way since being rescued. At first, everything was new and overwhelming, but now they’re slowly learning what love feels like — warm beds, gentle hands, and soft voices. Each one has a shy heart that just wants to trust again. Cherry is ready to bond with one special person — someone patient, kind, and willing to show them that humans can be safe. Once that trust is built, the love they give back is pure magic. If you have room in your heart and home, please consider adopting one of these little souls. They’ve been through so much and truly deserve to finally be loved, safe, and home.

Story
Meet Mako (aka Mako Shark)! This tiny guy might be a little shy at first, but underneath his timid exterior is one seriously adorable pup—with an unforgettable overbite that earned him the nickname “Mako Shark” and a tongue that adorably sticks out when he’s relaxed. Mako likely missed out on some early socialization, so he’s still learning that the world isn’t such a scary place. But one thing he does know is how much he loves other dogs. Having a confident canine buddy around would definitely help bring him out of his shell. He also enjoys quiet companionship and doesn't mind curling up on a lap while you work on the computer. Building trust with Mako may take time, but once you’ve earned his love, we promise—it’ll be worth every moment. Are you the patient, gentle soul Mako’s been waiting for?
