Story

He was abandoned in our area and chose to stay at our house for awhile before we decided to take him in. He loves to play fetch and loves his toys but can be possessive, acting almost baby-like. We are not too sure of his age but estimated that he is anywhere from 2-5 years old. All and all he's been a great protector for our home and is best friends with our cats. We ultimately would love a home for him in which can provide a better life and is able to give the care we sadly cannot.

Story

🐾 MAUI — AUTISM ASSISTANCE SERVICE DOG 🐾 Maui is a very special young dog who was bred, raised, and professionally trained for autism assistance service work. Maui was previously placed with a family, but after placement we determined that the home environment was not an appropriate fit for him at this time. We made the decision to bring him back into our program so we could find the right long-term home for him. Our priority now is finding Maui a person or family who understands his training, his needs, and the lifestyle he was raised to have. 🦮 TRAINED FOR AUTISM ASSISTANCE Maui has received extensive training specifically geared toward autism assistance, including elopement prevention and deep pressure therapy. He has been trained to: • Perform a down-stay during an elopement attempt, remaining in position when his person attempts to run or leave • Provide deep pressure therapy in three positions — sitting, lying down, and while his person is seated in a chair • Pull a wheelchair • Retrieve items — currently a work in progress as he continues developing this skill • Walk appropriately on leash • Remain with his person • Avoid bolting through open doors • Maintain position and stay with his person when working 🎓 TITLES & ACCOMPLISHMENTS Maui has earned: 🏅 AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) 🏅 CGC Advanced (CGC-A) 🏅 CGC Urban 🏅 AKC STAR Puppy 🏅 Trick Dog Novice 🧠 OBEDIENCE & POSITIONING Maui knows: Sit • Stand • Down • Stay • Head Down • Back Up • Finish • Side • Go Around • Spin Finish: Heels into position on his handler's left side. Side: Heels into position on his handler's right side. Go Around: Circles around his handler. Spin: Spins in a circle in place. Maui is also fully potty trained and kennel trained. ❤️ HIS LIFESTYLE MATTERS Maui has been with a person essentially at all times throughout his life. He was raised to be closely connected to his handler and to have a job. We would like to maintain that lifestyle for him. Maui is not a dog we want placed in a home where he will spend most of his day alone. His ideal home will appreciate having a dog who wants to be involved, work with his person, and remain close to his handler. 🩺 HEALTH & CARE Maui is: • Fully vaccinated • Regularly dewormed • Microchipped • On routine flea and tick prevention (topical/spot-on treatment) • Regularly examined by a veterinarian • Currently reported to have a clean bill of health • Free of known medical conditions • Not taking any medications • Has never had an injury • Not currently neutered Neutering is included as part of Maui's adoption fee. 🍽️ CURRENT DIET Maui currently eats Kirkland Signature Salmon & Sweet Potato dog food twice daily. His meals are supplemented with: • Solid Gold SeaMeal • Daily liquid glucosamine and chondroitin His current diet and routine can be discussed in greater detail with his new owner. 🎒 MAUI'S GEAR Maui will leave professionally groomed and equipped with his service-dog gear, including: • Service dog vest • Leash • Collar • Harness • Identification tags 💰 ADOPTION & TRAINING The adoption fee for Maui himself is $950. Please understand that Maui's professional training is separate from his adoption fee. The training fee and details of his continued service-dog training will be discussed with qualified prospective owners. Please research the typical costs associated with a service dog, as the training fees are in line with industry standards. We strongly encourage anyone interested in Maui to do their own research into the actual financial commitment, responsibilities, training requirements, and long-term costs associated with service-dog ownership. Maui has had substantial time, training, care, and investment put into him. We are looking for someone who understands the value of that foundation and is committed to continuing his development. 🏡 THE RIGHT HOME This is not simply about finding Maui a new owner. We are looking for the right person for Maui. He deserves someone who will keep him close, give him meaningful work, continue his training, and allow him to live the life he was raised to have. 📩 Serious inquiries only. Please contact us for additional information about Maui, his training, placement requirements, and the separate professional training program.

Story

We are looking for a loving new home for Goose, our sweet poodle. Goose is truly such a wonderful dog, he is SO sweet, calm, gentle, and kind. He has a very easygoing personality and is just an all-around great dog. We love him so much, which is why finding the right home matters so much to us. We want Goose to go to a family who will continue to love on him, include him in their home, and treat him like part of the family. He has been deeply loved and cared for, and we want that same kind of love to continue in his next home. We are not in a rush to rehome him and are willing to keep him with us for as long as needed until we find the right fit. Our biggest priority is making sure Goose goes somewhere safe, loving, and permanent where he will be cherished the way he deserves.

Story

Howard is a happy, affectionate Bobtail Bernard puppy who loves chilling out and cuddling with his people. He enjoys playing with other dogs occasionally, but mostly he loves spending time with people, and exploring the world around him with a mellow, laid back attitude. He is a friendly puppy who rarely seeks out attention from strangers, but enjoys being included by his family. Howard has been raised in a busy environment with other dogs, regular handling, early socialization, and exposure to a wide variety of sights, sounds, surfaces, and experiences. Like all of our puppies, Howard has been introduced to crate training, household routines, grooming, car rides, and basic manners. He is already potty trained and scratches at the door to come back in. He continues to win us over with those giant puppy dog eyes and cuddles. Howard would be an excellent choice for a family looking for a loyal companion, adventure buddy, or furry couch potato. 🐾 Bobtail Bernard [info about the new and mission at BobtailBernard.com] 🐾 Born May 11, 2026 🐾 He weighed 23.4 pounds at 8 weeks, 44 pounds at 12 weeks 🐾 Friendly and family oriented 🐾 Dog-social, low engagement needs 🐾 Age-appropriate vaccinations and deworming 🐾 Raised with extensive socialization and enrichment Howard was not selected to move forward in service dog training because he doesn't show interest in the job. He would much rather cuddle, lay in the shade, play with toys and take it all in. If you're looking for a loving companion with a gentle heart and an "eeyore" outlook on life, Howard may be the perfect fit. Howard is potty trained, crate trained, knows sit, down, stand and spin and walks on a leash. Message for additional information.

Story

Alexa, Siri, and Gemini are 3 great Dane rhodesian ridgeback that were picked up in Lucerne Valley by a good Samaritan. One other puppy was found with these sisters, but he had been hit by a car and passed away and the girls wouldn't leave his side, an absolutely heartbreaking start to their lives. It has been 2 weeks and the girls have settled in nicely at their foster home where they are learning house manners and farm life. They have been great with free range chickens and horses. They are estimated to be around 4 months old, and will be very large dogs. They have had their first vaccines and been dewormed. All 3 girls are very loving. Alexa is the most friendly and goofy, Siri is the most reserved and Gemini is right in the middle. They all love to cuddle, seem very intelligent and eager to please. Curious and confident girls, who will make a lovely addition. Adoption fee $750
