Talk about right time & right place. In an extremely busy well known park located on a busy road in China, Matt was found running around & on the road & was almost hit & killed. Our rescuer was there on a walk enjoying her day when she seen Matt almost get killed & hit by a car. She tried all over the park to see if anyone was missing Matt & searched & searched but no one come forward for him so they believe he was abandoned in the park. Now Matt is looking for a special family to cherish him & be patient with him & remember what this beautiful soul has been through & a family that meets all his needs. Matt was rescued by our truly amazing Chinese rescue friends & just as always we are beyond grateful to the Chinese rescue who we are so extremely thankful for what they do day in & day out for these babies, we cannot thank them enough. Matt was bought back to the USA where he is now a US citizen & is so happy to be here & can’t wait to find his new loving devoted forever home. Our beautiful boy is not the boy we first rescued, his lovely personality has now come out & he is flourishing. Matt brings so much joy & peace. He is a very gentle patient little soul. He just wants you to love him & he will love you back. He adores being hugged & held because the reality is we are the first real people in his life to show him such true love & affection. He also can be found laying on his foster mums feet when she is sitting on the couch. When he finds people who love him they become his world. He is a very spirited & bouncy mini doodle love his foster mum & dad said he is just so lovely & can jump on the couch to cuddle either you. He is smart & can run up & down hardwood stairs. He will also want to cuddle in bed with you. He loves to run & play with his foster siblings & must go to a home with a young dog who will play with him & doesn’t mind him nudging him to play with him. Dogs are his world. He loves a good outfit & will get ready for you to put one on him. Matt eats a clean diet, meaning raw fruits, raw vegetables, 70 % raw proteins, grains, fats & supplements. He also enjoys collagen sticks & bully sticks. All of his treats are homemade. When we first rescued him he was thin, we have already put several pounds on this adorable little chap. Matt has been taught to walk on harness & leash & has been doing wonderful. He would need continued work walking on his harness & leash. Matt is a rescue & will need patience, time & understanding. Matt adores being pampered & doesn’t want you to stop when brushing him, cleaning his eyes, grooming him, baths, the hairdryer he loves it all. He also does extremely well being touched in general & adores receiving love. Having toys & a warm bed is all new to Matt & we have been excited to change his world with the introduction of toys & lots of love & affection & a loving environment. He now loves his toys in his foster home. Matt has learnt to ride in the car & does well in the car & enjoys a good car ride. He is such an amazing, loving little lad. With Matt we are only looking for a crate free home for this lovely little lad only. Please do not apply with the intent to crate this boy. He does not like crates especially after everything he has been through. We are also looking for a forever home for Matt where someone is home during the day or Matt can go with his people wherever possibly he can go with them. Did we mention this boy loves a good outfit too. Matt is looking for a forever home who will cherish him & love him as he should be loved & be very patient with him & understanding. Matt has been around many breeds of dogs all shapes & sizes & he is currently with other dogs & enjoys their company in his loving foster home. He can be found at times snuggled up to his foster siblings. A fully fenced backyard is mandatory for Matt’s new forever home if it’s a free standing home. Matt is now roughly 19 lbs & almost 2 years old & possibly a cockapoo & what he is mixed with we are not sure? He is microchipped, up to date on his shots including DHLPP, rabies & dewormed. Once these shots expire we will not redo them except rabies as we will not over vaccinate our beloved dogs. We have spent over $2000 on Matt with bringing him to the US with his travel airfare paying for his medical care, including, shots, neuter microchip etc, than his adoption fee comes close to covering. Matt has not been around cats since being in the rescue but it’s always up to the new family to be responsible with their animals. We have not had Matt with small children so we do not recommend children, but it’s always up to the family to be responsible with their children & animals. We were not there when Matt was conceived so we do not know who his parents were & it’s always up to the new potential family to look at the pictures & decide what they think his breed is. As with all of our rescues & Matt’s friends he will need work on potty training & training, so this should be something the new family would be willing to work on & commit to. Please do not submit an application if you are not willing to commit to one of our rescues care for their whole life & that includes if they need training. Please do not email us asking is Matt potty trained or available, nor do we ship dogs anywhere as we will not respond. We would never say anyone of our rescues are potty trained. Our rescues need homes where the people are understanding of their past & what they have been through & what they will need in their daily lives & not willing to give up on them & if they do need training in their new home will in fact take them to training & not just say they will when applying. Please only submit an application if you are truly interested in adopting Matt & going through our process and have read his listing fully to the end & are wanting to adopt. If you are not responsive to our calls, emails or your references do not respond we will move on & remove your application from our system. You must be willing to go through our screening process which includes your references being checked, a phone interview & a virtual home visit using Zoom followed by a meet and greet & if it’s a good fit, up to our discretion. We will only be accepting applications for Matt who understands his needs & that meet all the requirements for this lovely sweet boy. Once we find the right home for each little soul we work fast, within days so the dogs can go to their forever homes in quite a timely manner. We do not hold onto dogs for people as our goal is to save lives & please do not submit an application if you are not ready to adopt. Matt has an adoption fee of $850 & is ready for his truly loving forever home & compassion & understanding of what he has been through.

Meet Daysi,Daysi is a peaceful and calm dog who loves quiet moments and enjoys simple activities like going for walks and visiting the beach. She's a laid-back dog who thrives in a tranquil environment, so she'd do best in a home where she's the only pet and there are no young children. Daysi enjoys her outings but is also very lazy at home and loves to relax.Although she was found wandering the streets, Daysi is now looking for a loving home where she can enjoy peace and quiet. She's not a fan of cats, and she's not interested in being in a busy, noisy environment. She's a sweet companion who just wants a peaceful, gentle life.This dog is currently in foster care in La Paz, Mexico, but will be transported upon adoption or foster placement. As a U.S. nonprofit, Hope 4 La Pawz, handles all logistics and provides full behavioral and medical info in advance.

Hot Pocket is a one year old miniature Poodle. He is a very sweet, gentle boy who is still learning how the world works. He’s on the timid side at first, but once he feels safe, his personality really begins to shine. He responds beautifully to calm energy, baby talk, and belly rubs. When approached slowly and gently, he’ll come over and roll onto his back to show his belly. He can get nervous if someone walks toward him too quickly, so patience and positive reassurance go a long way with him. He absolutely loves spending time in a fenced yard. He enjoys exploring, relaxing outside, and taking everything in. Loud or sudden noises may cause him to bark, as he’s still building confidence. Hot Pocket prefers being close to his people. If he’s crated and can’t see you, he may bark for a bit before settling. He does best with gentle guidance and consistency. He’s still learning leash walking and basic “how to be a dog” skills. The good news is he does wonderfully with other dogs and cats! Having another confident dog around has helped him learn how to play, interact, and even explore toys. A home with another friendly pup or plenty of attention would likely help him continue to blossom. HotPocket will thrive in a patient, loving home that understands he’s still gaining confidence. With kindness and time, he’s going to be an incredibly loyal and affectionate companion. Hot Pocket sleeps through the night and does best when he’s close to his people. He likes to sleep in the bed with his humans and settles in well once everyone is winding down. He prefers having that closeness at night and relaxes most easily when he knows you’re nearby. Hot Pocket is still learning his potty routine. He does very well going #2 outside and is making steady progress overall. Having regular access to a fenced yard has really helped him understand where he should go. He currently wears a belly band indoors since he isn’t neutered yet. He will escape a playpen if he can and does not really like to be contained. He does not like the crate that much either and will bark very loud and start scratching the crate for a bit until he settles. He does well alone at home and doesn’t panic or exhibit signs of separation anxiety, just does not care for confinement. He likes his freedom indoor and outdoor. He also loves being in the yard and can either be there by himself or with pup friends. He doesn’t really bark out there unless he hears a loud sound. Loves playing outside with other pup friends or with toys. If he is bored, he will sometimes nap and sun bathe out in the backyard. He is still learning what treats are and isn’t super food motivated so far. He loves the kibble that the rescue provides! He doesn’t mind the car, and is ood with cats. He is a doll!! -----

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:

✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.

✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).

✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.

The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.

Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.

Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.
