Story
Pretty like Snow White!!! With some lilac tick marks on her face, lilac ears, and lilac coloring at the root of her tail. La Perla is an American Bully and was born on August 12, 2018, so currently 5 years old. She weighs around 115 pounds, so a big ol' cuddly bear. Personality??? She is: • Sweet • Playful • Loving • Attentive • Driven • All the above, but at the same time would make a great companion or family dog for those looking to make her an inside dog, since she is a great listener and should be able to train quickly.

Story
Janko was abandoned and we found her roaming alone in the desert. We rescued her and she has been with us for a few months. She is well mannered. Shakes, sits, rolls over. House trained, semi crate trained semi leash trained. She is wonderful with small children. She loves ice, being outside. She is loving but also independent and is a bit mischievous. We’re preparing to relocate to a townhouse with no yard and we are looking for a good family with a yard to place Janko with.

Story
He came into our trucking company yard Jan 1, 2024, as a stray. Starving and injured. Injuries healed and very strong and healthy. He is a very good natured loving boy. He strives to please and is young and energetic. We have a lot of traffic and various people in and out of our yard and hard to keep him happy and safe locked in smaller yard when unable to let him out. Free to a good home. He is friendly, smart, very loving and willing to learn with continued guidance. Must pick up Victorville Ca

Story
Meet Mochi! (Willing To Bargin!) A spirited 3-year-old pup! He's a bundle of energy who adores people, especially kids. While he's curious about other animals, he hasn't had much experience with them. Mochi craves love and attention and would thrive in a home with plenty of both. He loves outside and walks! He's a quick learner, but may need guidance with resource guarding and boundaries. Ready to give Mochi the loving home he deserves?

Story
Someone I know impulsively got a dog despite not liking them. The shared responsibility plan with family members fell through due to a move, and the dog ended up with a cousin who left her alone for long periods, causing noise complaints. I decided to come on here and look for a home for her. Nina is an energetic 8-month-old Husky/Lab mix with one brown eye and one blue eye. Due to her previous owner she hasn’t been spayed. She’s s very active and enjoys jumping on people, but she hasn’t t had formal training yet. I hope her new owner can work with her on training, as she play fight's. Nina is nervous about entering houses because she isn’t t used to being indoors. She’s s good with kids, though her behavior around other dogs and cats is unknown. I hope her new owner can keep in touch and share photos and videos because I have grown attached to her and want to see how she’s s doing.

Story
I rescued the mom from the streets. She was pregnant. She gave birth to 10 puppies. I already found homes for 5. But still have 5 more. It is really hard with vet bills, food, etc, because I already have other dogs, that are seniors and need lot of care. Hope to find a loving home for him and the other brothers and sisters. Really good nature guardian dogs, sweet, good companion. Thank you.
