Story

Prancer is a happy-go-lucky 3-year-old pup weighing 18 pounds, and he’s ready to bring nonstop joy to his forever home! He came to A Home 4 Ever Rescue from the Hesperia Animal Shelter after being found with two other dogs, and he hasn’t stopped wagging his tail (well… his adorable little stub!) since. With what appears to be a charming mix of Pug and Beagle, Prancer is as unique as he is lovable. From his cute stubby tail to his playful spirit, everything about him is full of personality. He’s friendly, affectionate, and always ready for fun—whether that’s playtime, going for a walk or just soaking up attention from his people. Prancer truly has the sweetest disposition and is simply happy to be part of whatever is going on. He would make a wonderful companion for a family or individual looking for a cheerful, loving dog. He does have a cherry eye, which can be corrected with a simple procedure if desired, but it is only cosmetic and does not affect his happy, active lifestyle. If you’re looking for a playful, loving pup who will brighten your days, Prancer just might be your perfect match! You can meet Prancer at PetSmart (620 W. 17th St., Costa Mesa) on Saturdays from 11:30 AM – 2:00 PM. Come meet this sweet boy and fall in love!

Story

Hello, looking for a new home for my sweetheart of a dog, Lucy. I adopted her in North Texas on New Years Eve 12/31/22. She is currently 4 years old. She is a great dog and loves being around people, kids and other dogs. She doesn't even bark! She is well trained and absolutely no problems with her in doors. She loves the sun and loves being outside. Actually why I'm looking for a suitable home for her...prefferrably someone that has a backyard where she can roam around. Due to my current situation in So Cal and moving into another apartment. Its time I found a better place for her. It pains me that she is inside my room all day until I get home from work M-F. I'm going to miss her going bonkers when I do get home to see her though. She loves to play fetch and will go non stop unless you stop her haha. She LOVES going to the beach and will even fetch a ball out in the water and she can go a ways out. Great swimmer! She has never had any problems health wise.
