Sweet, loving, playful and submissive natured dog. Crate trained since 10wks old, currently sleeps indoors. Significant job change in November '25 that results in 12+ hour days plus commutes from Bakersfield to San Diego 6 days a week, with no projected time change in the next three years. Would love to find a home that has the time to interact and exercise her mind and body as she deserves.

Story
I am writing to share the story of Cody, a sweet, vibrant, and incredibly loyal dog who is currently looking for a specific kind of "forever" home—one that understands that even the best protectors sometimes need a little help navigating the world. The Best of Cody Cody is, at his core, a joyful companion. If you have a tennis ball and a sturdy arm, you have a friend for life. He thrives on activity and is at his happiest when he has a yard to run in and a "job" to do. He is naturally protective of his people, showing a deep devotion that makes him a wonderful companion for the right owner. Why He Needs a Special Home Cody has a lot of energy and a strong protective instinct. Because of this, he recently had a single bite incident. We believe this happened because he hasn't yet learned how to properly channel his protective nature or handle high-stress social situations.

Cypress, CA

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Maple is a 9-year-old English / American Bulldog with a sweet, gentle personality. She loves being around her people and is happiest relaxing nearby or enjoying a cozy nap. She is very food and treat motivated, which makes her easy to connect with and a joy to spoil. Maple does best with a calm routine and would thrive in a loving, low-stress home that understands senior dogs. Rehoming her is a difficult decision made with her best interest in mind. Maple is a loyal, affectionate companion who would bring a lot of love to the right home.

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Levi is a stunning, young dog that didn’t get the love and attention that she needed as a pup. Now she is scared of new people and the world around her, but she has been making improvements every day since she arrived here with us! Sweet Levi is very affectionate when she warms up, and we know there is a great dog inside just trying to come out. She will need a patient home, willing to help teach her how to be a dog. Levi loves other dogs, but as play is a learned behavior in dogs, she is quite awkward and pushy when playing. When she gets excited, she tends to get barky and mouthy – this is how she plays, not realizing others (both people and dogs) find it a bit off putting. We had Levi do a short board and train program with a trainer, and she is doing much better. So someone who is willing to continue to build on this foundation is what Levi needs! She would love to have a playmate, around her size, in the home – one that is confident and patient, and able to give her appropriate corrections! Before going home, she will require at least a few visits to warm up to everybody in the home. Things will have to move at her pace in the beginning, but she is definitely worth the wait!August 7, 2025, 4:20 pm
