Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Bugbear is a wonderful, sassy old girl who loves to be loved by her people. My husband and I always sing “I want to be where the people are” to her because she just wants to couch potato in the same room as us. We love her. We adopted her as a one-eyed adult baby dog 4 years ago. Unfortunately, she has not been able to adjust well since we had our son, and his quickly entering his toddler phase is only exacerbating the situation. We want to find a new home for her quickly and hope it can be better for her than here. She would be a wonderful fit for adults without kids who want a little dog to love on and spoil. She is the best potty trained dog I have ever seen, we call her the Iron Bladder.

Cookie is a lovely little girl with a gentle demeanor. Her favorite spot is next to you. She lives in a home with other dogs, cats, and kids, but she will wait for you to sit down whereupon she find herself next to you.

Once that environment is established, she is a calm girl who is quiet and a snuggle babe. If you would like to meet Cookie, contact us and fill in the application.

Meet Reggie! Reggie is a senior chihuahua mix. He loves attention and is food motivated. He is shy at first, but while he may take a bit to warm up to you he is very sweet once he does!

If you are interested in meeting Reggie we must first have an application which can be filled out on our website, www.greatpets.org. That is the one and only way we receive applications.

TJ the Toy Hoarder is an 8 pound, 6 year old male Chihuahua who came to us from the Orange County shelter, where he arrived as a scared stray pup from the streets of Lake Forest. TJ likes his room at the center, particularly when he has a roommate. TJ will warm up to you, sit in your lap, and give you kisses if you go slowly. He loves his toys - especially squeaky ones. TJ seems to like calm, friendly small dogs. He enjoys his walks. TJ would be happy as an only dog or with a calm companion, with lots of attention...and toys. TJ is on a special diet and medication for prevention of digestive issues. Apply to meet TJ at adoptocpets.org/adopt.

Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Silly, goofy, confident, lap dog, loves balls/toys, and fully housetrained - that is how Foster Mom describes me. Personally, I like the lap dog part quite a bit. I'm Que, around 9 years old, and a perfect 16 pounds of snuggly goodness. My foster mom recently said that I am 'such a sweetheart. Has lots of energy, loves to greet you at the door and is so happy you are home. Loves his toys to play with on his own or with you.' Awwww - shucks. I am so lucky. I live with her pooches and love my canine friends, too. We get along great. New people can cause some anxiety - when you are small, it's hard to know if people are friend or foe, you know? But, once I know you? I love you. It's really that simple. A while ago, I lost my human family and ended up in the shelter. I had dental issues (all clear now!), skin issues (all clear now!), hadn't been neutered (all gone now!), and was so grumpy that the vet couldn't even examine me (much better now!). Basically? My prior owners didn't take good care of me. TLRD fixed all of that and now I am like a different dog. There is only one thing that could be better in my life...you.My foster mom says that I am an excellent dog for someone who works from home or is just a homebody in general. I love to be around my people and am very snuggly without being needy. Please apply today so that you can learn what a love bug I am!April 19, 2024, 4:17 pm
