Jojo

Pekingese

Male, Adult

Anaheim, CA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.When one of Jojo’s owners decided he was no longer wanted, he was in need of a savior. His foster says the experience of losing his home of more than a decade hasn’t seemed to faze him, as he’s a happy, spritely pup full of energy that belies his age. He’s a healthy boy with great hearing and vision who loves walks, head and neck pets and belly rubs. He’s a low-maintenance dog who gets along with other canines in the house – though he often has something to say about dogs encountered on his walks – and has big, heart-melting eyes. Jojo is up-do-date on vaccines, parasite-free and microchipped. He’s completely house-trained! He is not fully socialized with dogs in the open but he’s gets along with dogs 1-1 in the home. He is very comfortable around hoomans and likes pets on the head, neck and belly rubs. Jojo is a low maintenance incredibly soft short-haired Pekingese with big eyes that will melt your heart! We hope you have room in your heart and home for this little fella! While we would prefer that he have a yard and have indicated that, he would probably be OK in an apartment or condo, preferably one with a small yard as he is fully house-trained. PLEASE NOTE: We cannot adopt small dogs like Jojo to homes with pools that are not fenced separately from the rest of the yard.

Teddy

Pekingese

Male, Adult

Anaheim, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Teddy is a sweet boy who was found with his four littermates last summer. They were in their owner's home, and the owner had passed. All of Teddy's littermates have found homes, but Teddy is still looking for his. He's a sweet boy who loves to sunbathe, lie on your bed or couch, and just chill with you. He's not much into toys, but he does love hugs and kisses. He's deaf so he doesn’t come when he’s called, but if he sees you, he will come running. Teddy is one of the friendliest little guys we’ve ever had and so deserving of a home where he can be loved for the rest of his life . He’s located in Orange County, California, and we would love to either find a foster for him or hopefully his forever home. One thing Teddy is not fond of: crates. We guess he never got used to one, because he panics and/or cries when he is in one (He will tolerate riding in one in the car, but don't try to listen to the radio. Your trip's accompaniment with Pekingese laments.)Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 30, 2026, 6:25 pm

Sandie

Pekingese Pomeranian

Female, Adult

Anaheim, CA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sandie was found as a stray and taken to a shelter. She is a very sweet little girl who charms everyone she meets. She can sometimes be shy or even frightened around new people. We don't know what happened to her before she wound up in the shelter. She may have been mistreated, or she could have lacked the proper socialization that would allow her to know that strangers do not mean danger most of the time ... but she does warm up given some time to get used to new people and places. She is a darling little fluffball who we would like to see have a home with a yard. She LOVES to play in a yard and roll around on grass, so we'd like her to have that opportunity. If she does have a yard it must have a fence, and she will need to be watched when she is outside, especially if her new home is in an area where coyotes and other wild critters live. As it can take awhile for her to warm up to new people, her home should be in Orange County or close to it so we can help with that if needed. She can be left alone without issues and did well in a confined area in her foster's home. She rides well in a crate in a car and also sleeps in one. She likes other dogs but probably would do better as an only dog -- once she knows and trusts you, her favorite thing is being around you all the time.

Lawrence

Boxer Shar Pei

Male, Young

Irvine, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Lawrence – 19 months, 40 pounds. Lawrence is a very special dog looking for an equally special home. Life has been a little scary for him, so he’ll need a patient, understanding family to help him feel safe. Though shy and timid, Lawrence absolutely lights up around other dogs, and a confident canine companion could be the key to unlocking his full potential. Underneath his shyness, he’s incredibly sweet, playful, goofy—and can definitely be a couch potato. Once he starts to trust, his silly side comes out, and he’s happiest when lounging near his people or playing with a dog buddy. If you believe in second chances, have a calm environment, and are willing to give Lawrence the time and support he needs, you might just be his perfect match.

Stanley is nine tiny pounds of sweetness, just a year old and still figuring out that the world can be a safe, gentle place. He starts off a little shy when you first meet him, but give him a moment and you’ll see his whole personality unfold — soft, curious, and so ready to trust. Once he warms up, he’s the kind of little guy who sticks close, watches everything you do, and quietly melts into your heart without even trying. He’s easy to love, easy to carry, and easy to make happy. Stanley is looking for someone patient and kind who will let him settle in at his own pace. If you’re the type who appreciates a tender soul and loves watching a shy dog blossom, this little nine&#226&#128&#145pound sweetheart might be your perfect match.
