Story
Rex is such a love!!! Rex was born on February 17, 2022. He is a big boy at about 100 pounds and he is very tall. He is a shepherd with some cattle dog mixed in. He loves the outdoors, so he would be amazing for a family with some property or a large yard, but he also adores being with his people, so he is happy to chill inside as well. He still has a few puppy traits (occasionally finds something to chew on, that he shouldn't), but for the most part, he is just a great dog with a good amount of energy, but not too crazy! He loves toys and he loves puppies! He does seem to get along with most dogs with a proper intro. Sometimes he gets a little over excited meeting new dogs when he is on a leash, so he may bark at them (and he has a big bark), but he will settle down. We think he would be a good dog for someone with mobility issues because of his height and size. He's great in the car and he's good with kids but because of his size and occasionally mouthing and herding, we think he's probably best with older kids. He is housetrained and crate trained. He really is such a good boy and we can't quite figure out why he hasn't found a home yet. Currently in need of new foster in So Cal or can be adopted anywhere in California. Adoption fee of $200 includes spay/neuter, core vaccines (DAPP and rabies), microchip, access to training videos. You must complete an application before we are able to accommodate any request for a meet and greet.

Story
Sweet Pea needs a foster or foster to adopt in So Cal ASAP. She’s a 1 1/2 year old Dogo Argentino mix. She is very sweet dog. She does seem to be deaf or at least have selective hearing. She does need some time to adjust in a new home, but she loves people and seems non reactive with other dogs and cats. She can escape a fenced yard, so she will need to be kept inside unless you're outside with her. She's pretty good in a crate and we can provide one for a foster to use. She still needs to be spayed. That is included in her adoption. She loves the car and is pretty good on leash. Currently in need of new foster in So Cal or can be adopted anywhere in California. Adoption fee of $400 includes spay/neuter, core vaccines (DAPP and rabies), microchip, access to training videos. You must complete an application before we are able to accommodate any request for a meet and greet.

Story
SADIE NEEDS A NEW FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME IN SO CAL! Sadie is a dobie/shepherd mix with a docked (short) tail. She's only about 50 pounds. A really nice medium sized dog. She's approximately 1 year old (maybe a little younger). She's dog friendly. Lives with cats but not necessarily cat friendly (the current cats steer clear). Great with kids. Very friendly and playful. She'd do well with an active family as she does have a lot of energy. She's great in the car. She's crate trained. She's mostly house trained, but still has an occasional accident. (Seems mostly from not knowing how to alert that she needs to go out.) She can still find things to chew on or dig in the yard if she's bored, but I had her overnight and she did great. Super sweet and very friendly with my husband. She's currently in foster in Menifee. She needs a new foster who is more active and can get her out for walks. Her current foster is great, but working a lot, so we need a new spot for her. She does need and deserve a forever home! Currently in need of new foster in So Cal or can be adopted anywhere in California. Adoption fee of $250 includes spay/neuter, core vaccines (DAPP and rabies), microchip, access to training videos. You must complete an application before we are able to accommodate any request for a meet and greet. Please apply here to adopt:. Adoption Application or to foster apply here: Foster Application

Story
Hi everyone, I’ve been named Lady or pretty Lady! EARN founder and my now foster momma received notice of a German Shepherd mix puppy who had been abandoned and neglected. It was me! I was living outside behind a tarp at a random property in Perris I had wandered onto. I was really hungry and thirsty, and I was all alone and scared. My foster momma scooped me up and saved me. She even took me to the vet. I’m healthy and now have my microchip and everything! I am pretty shy and I am looking for my person and for a leader to guide me. I am just a little pup, around 5 months old. I’ve been looking to my foster doggie siblings for comfort & would be best in a home with other dogs who are calm and gentle. While I take my time to settle in and feel safe in new environments, I love deeply and can’t wait for a pack of my own. I’ve been great with my human foster sibling, all the dogs I’ve met, and even my feline foster sibling! — Lady is looking for a foster and/or forever home of her own. If you are interested in opening your heart and home to Lady, please fill out an application at our website.
