Story
Meet Moe and Dillan: A Perfect Pair of Playful Hearts Moe and Dillan are one-year-old pug mixes who didn’t come from the same home, but you’d never know it. Since meeting, they’ve formed a bond that’s both deep and delightful. They are the best kind of duo: Moe is the brains – clever, curious, and always thinking – while Dillan is the lovable goofball, full of charm and comedic timing. Together, they’re pure joy. These two are like toddlers in dog form. They’ll play and play until they can barely keep their eyes open, then snuggle up and snooze like babies. Their days are filled with chase games, silly antics, and the kind of companionship that warms your heart just watching them. Moe’s intelligence means he’s quick to figure things out (including how to get into places he maybe shouldn’t), while Dillan is all about fun and bringing a smile to your face. They’re crate trained and doing really well with housebreaking. A secure yard is a must. Both because they’re small and because their inquisitive natures mean they’re always exploring. While they may be part pug, they definitely have more of that classic Chihuahua zip and energy: bouncy, alert, and always ready to play. Each morning, they greet you with uncontainable joy, squealing and wiggling like it’s the best day of their lives just because you walked into the room. They adore their people, and they’ll absolutely adore their forever family. We would love to see Moe and Dillan adopted together – they really are a special team – but we’re open to separating them if they each go to a home with another playful, friendly dog who can help fill the space left by the other. Moe and Dillan are ready to fill your home with laughter, love, and the kind of companionship that only comes once in a lifetime. If your home could use a little more heart and a whole lot more fun, these two are waiting to meet you!

Story
Hi there! We’re Mallory and Valerie — a devoted mother-daughter duo with hearts full of love, looking for a forever home together. Here’s a little about us: Mallory (8 years old)Hi, I’m Mallory — the proud (and petite!) mama. That’s right — even though I’m the mom, I’m actually the smaller one! I’m calm, cuddly, and happiest when I’m near my people. I adore kids, love sunbathing, and enjoy nice little walks. I’m housebroken and pee pad trained (though I sometimes have little misses). I’ll always be right by your side, ready with snuggles and sweet tail wags. Valerie (4 years old)And I’m Valerie, Mallory’s daughter! I can be a bit shy at first, but once I know you, I’m full of affection. I prefer quieter homes with older kids (10+), and I do well with other dogs after a bit of time to adjust — but no cats, please! I love spending time with my mama and soaking up the sun just like her. Our Bond We’re truly two peas in a pod. Whether we’re napping side by side or trotting along on a walk together, we bring each other comfort and joy. We also love being around our humans and will shower you with double the love and tail wags! Our Dream Home We’re hoping to find a calm, caring home where we can stay together and be part of the family. If you have room in your heart (and on your couch!) for two loving girls, we’d be so excited to meet you. Much Love, Mallory and Valerie

Hi! We are Mallory and Valerie, a dynamic furry bonded pair full of love and affection to share. I'm Mallory, a 6-year-old sweetheart, and I, Valerie, am 1 year old, full of puppy charm. We were transferred from Harbor to the WLA shelter with three other siblings. We are exceptionally cuddly and affectionate. We LOVE to be nestled side by side and frequently exchange licks and kisses. When it comes to potty skills, we are pros! No accidents for us! We are very smart and listen to commands and directions well. We can't wait to find our forever home together! https://www.muchlove.org/animals/valerie-%26-mallory

FILL APPLICATION OUT AT: WWW.BIGLOVEANIMALRESCUE.ORG Meet Lupita! Lupita is a three-year-old Chihuahua mix that was found pregnant on the streets of Mexico.

Lupita loves cuddles and affection. She's also good with other dogs and cats. It's time for her to find her forever home. Adopt Lupita!February 5, 2025, 3:57 pm

Story
I was found as a stray with three other dogs and taken to the pound, but the kind folks at Forte rescued me just in time! They think I was bitten by another dog on my neck, but I’m healing well and feeling much better in my wonderful foster home with friendly dogs. I’m not sure how I feel about kids, so if you have any, be sure to check with the volunteers. I might bark a bit when left alone, but with a stable home and loving people, I know I’ll settle in just fine. If you are interested in meeting Wyatt, please download the Adoption Questionnaire, fill it out and email it back to us at info@farescue.org or fax (310) 362-0321. You can also meet this and/or other available dogs at our weekend adoptions. [Wyatt is about 1 years old and weighs 8 lbs.] (2503)

Story
Every day, Aster grows more curious and braver about the world around him. He enjoys playing with toys, or chewing on safe bones while he relaxes on a comfortable bed. Aster is not confident around people and would love a slow-paced environment to allow him to explore on his own terms. He needs time and patience to come out and show you the happy playful pup he really is.
