Story
Kona – Sweet, Well-Trained, Loving Dog Looking for the Right Home Kona is an incredibly sweet, well-trained dog with a calm, loving personality. She has zero aggression, does great with people, kids, and other dogs, and everyone who meets her falls in love with her. She is fully trained—clicker trained, kennel trained, and reliable off-leash with excellent recall. She knows multiple commands and can be trusted alone with no issues. Kona thrives on companionship and would do best in a home where she isn’t left alone for long periods. Due to my full-time school and work schedule, I’m no longer able to give her the time she truly deserves. This is not an easy decision—I’m looking for a stable, loving home that will give her the attention and care she’s used to. If for any reason it doesn’t work out, I would want her returned to me. If you’re looking for a loyal, well-behaved companion or a great addition to your family, Kona would be an amazing fit.

Story
Female mini-poodle mix needs new home. She is very friendly, affectionate, playful, and knows a few tricks plus several commands. She likes people, and she especially likes men. She needs a Dad to be a big part of her life. The ideal owner would be active, work from home, have a fenced yard with a doggie door, and possibly another small dog or a family. She’s up to date on her vaccines, is chipped and spayed, and had her teeth cleaned every other year. I was told this dog was 4 years old when I adopted her. In fact, she was barely a year old. She is 5 years old now. Because I live in Laguna Woods, I can no longer provide the safety and exercise she needs—and she is truly the happiest with a man in her life. I love her dearly, but I can no longer provide the life she deserves. All her belongings go with her.

Story
Magnolia is one of 5 siblings that all was on a euthanized list. Her and her siblings were found without their parents. At 12 weeks I rescued all of them from the shelter. She is the last of her siblings to be adopted. She is now almost 11 months old. She is very energetic. She needs plenty of exercise. She loves walking, running and fetching. She loves to play with other dogs. She loves to play with other cats if they let her. She is so loved and I want her to go to a forever home to live out her life. A big yard and plenty of exercise is a must. She is affectionate, curious, clever, playful, adventurous, athletic, and communicative.
