Story
This is Chase. He is a 7 year old Australian sheaperd and blue healer mix. He is extremely smart. He was adopted at Priceless Pets in Chino Hills in 2019. He will walk by your side without a leash and when he comes to you he sits at your feet and hugs your body with his. He grew up with 2 other dogs, one bigger and one smaller. Gentle with people and great with my 6 year old daughter. He must have been trained before I adopted him. He is used to being in the back yard all day and sleeping in the garage. He has lived indoors with me for a year and did great. Looking for a loving adoptive home because I am unable to take him with me to my next home.

She is incredibly affectionate, very people oriented, and great with children. She enjoys being around family and thrives when she gets attention, playtime, and companionship.

Story
Hi, my name is Freddie! I was named after the dodger player Freddie Freeman. I enjoy walks and playing frisbee/fetch with my humans. I am a sweet, loving boy and enjoy car rides. I like to watch TV with my humans and follow around my favorite person around the house. I’m pretty mellow, but unfortunately I don’t get along well with little small children and other dogs. I really just want my favorite human around so I can cuddle and snuggle and spend quality time.

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Stanley is a six year old who is incredibly smart, sweet, and low maintenance. He is trained to present a toy whenever someone comes home, rings a bell when he needs food and water, as well as basic sit, stay, shake, and other basic commands. He doesn’t really enjoy going for walks all that much and prefers to have light sessions of activity at home and time spent laying around the house. We can’t keep him because we recently had our first baby and we really want to find him a loving home. Please reach out to me with any questions and I would love to talk to you about my favorite dog in the whole world.

Story
Hi everyone 💕 My name is Tina, and I’m an adorable six-year-old Bichon/Maltese mix with the sweetest little angel face you’ve ever seen. I’m quiet, gentle, loving, and I know all my manners but I need to be an only dog. I’m the kind of girl who just wants to be by your side, soaking up love and giving it right back. I’ve got so much sweetness in my heart — now I just need a forever home that will cherish and spoil me the way I deserve. If you think you might be my perfect match, please submit an application at bichonrescueoc.org. I can’t wait to meet you! 💗
