Story
Baby Bear is a 9 year old pitbull mix. He was rescued on November 14 of 2014. We estimated he was 3 months at the time, we found him crated and abandoned. It took a long time to get where we are now, he was a hard rescue to train because he was so frightened from the moment we found him. He is house trained and knows MANY commands and is always learning. He is not good with other animals and unfortunately we found out he is not good with babies. We have a 5 week old at home, he was doing well until recently. We believe he sees the baby as an animal and wants to attack the baby. Due to this we need to find a new home. We tried different tactics to help with the adjustment but unfortunately none have worked. He is sooooo loved and I want the best for him. Right now we are keeping him in his crate (he is crate trained) for the majority of the day which is unfair for him. He is an indoor dog and has been all his life. He had double knee surgery in 2020.

Story
Luna is a 1 year old purebred European doberman pincher. She was rescued at around 6 months old from a shelter where she was ill and underweight. She was brought into a loving foster home where she received medical care and was nursed back to health. Her foster family fell in love with her and adopted her while the shelter was going through a transition. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, the family has had to make the heartbreaking decision to look for a better home for Luna. Luna has a sweet spirit and is a snuggle bug. She has been professionally trained and follows most commands well. Luna has puppy energy and needs plenty of exercise and socialization. She currently attends doggy daycare several times a week. She is still working on perfecting house training and sometimes has accidents near the door where she is let out to potty. Luna will continue to thrive in a home with an owner that can meet her exercise and mental stimulation needs.

We adopted Koda from our local shelter when he was 4 months old. He is 3 years old and his birthday is November 29. He is an active dog that likes to play but also takes to commands well if trained. He gets along with our other dog and our cat and we have small children in the home that he does well with.

Story
A friend of mine found the little dog abandoned. She couldn’t keep it. I had just lost my cat and after three weeks of knowing Dilly I felt I could adopt him. I am a senior citizen and Dilly has to much energy for me and as sad as I feel I must put him in a good home. I will get another cat. Dilly is a loving little dog but needs a younger person to match his energy. He would have been taken to a dog pound on Yucaipa where animals are not put up for adoption. So I was told. I couldn’t let him be destroyed. I tried but his energy as a pup is too much.

Story
Stella is our beautiful family dog! She is bonded to my 3 year old autistic child and has sparked up our life with lots of laughters and a lot of excerises. Unfortunately my youngest daughter developed a severe reactions to any type of pet with severe eye swelling and chronic sinus infections. We have invested in air purifiers and trying our best to clean non stop but unfortunately my daughter landed once again in the EMERGENCY room with swollen eyes. We have been trying desperately for months to look for a home for her and been turned down to ever rescue and shelter we have seeked. Only shelters available are high kill shelters and we are desperately seeking for someone to take her need! We prefer someone who is experienced with dogs!

Story
Scooter is a great guy! He has been our best friend since day one. He loves toys and treats and would never hurt anyone. His absolute favorite thing to do is play fetch with a tennis ball. He is 5years old and in good health, he is a tad overweight but that is only because we are guilty of not taking him on the walks he deserves. We are looking for the perfect fit. Someone who respects the dachshund breed and needs a best friend, someone who has the time dedicated to Scooter. My family simply does not have the time and we know that at this point he would be happier with someone who can play with him and cuddle everyday. If you have any questions at all please let me know.
