Story
I pulled a dog from a pet adoption center. The female dog came from a hoarding situation in Westminster where 25 dogs were found. She was terrified at first and she is still shaky, but she is slowly coming around. She does not do well with other dogs yet and would not be a good match for a home with small children. She is still learning how to feel safe in the world. Even so, she is incredibly sweet and gentle with people. She was used for breeding at just one year old and is now two. The shelter labeled her as half Maltese and half beagle, but my vet friend believes she is likely part Chihuahua and either Papillon or Pomeranian. She has been very cuddly with us and finds comfort in her crate.

Story
Don’t let the resting grumpy face fool you, this little guy is a total love that just wants to cuddle. At 10 pounds he’s the perfect lap dog, which is where he prefers to spend the majority of the day. He gets along with dog great. He can be a little timid in new places but once he’s comfortable he loves everyone, especially if they have an available lap to sit in!  At a year and a half old, this little stud has a long, happy, life ahead of him to sit in as many laps as he can manage.  If you would like to meet him please fill out an application at www.carmaoc.org. You can email or text us any questions. November 22, 2025, 2:09 pm

Story
Sweet Zucchini  has come a very long ways since his shelter days when he found him self to be euthanized because he was scared. Despite his fear we knew we could turn this cutie pie around and get him to trust but also crave interaction with people. Zucchini is aprox 9 lbs 3-5 years neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Zucchini in new environments may need a little warm up time, but the cutest thing he does, is tilt his head down like a parrot for head and ear scratches. He has learned to walk on a leash and now has discovered how much fun going to the park and exploring is. Zucchini best play buddy is Snap who also almost lost her life at the shelter for being scared! These two would do great as a pair and play so very well together too. For more information on Zucchini please contact his foster mom at 949-842-2517 To Apply for adoption go to: www.greendogfoundation.comOctober 5, 2025, 4:08 pm
