Molly

Chihuahua Jack Russell Terrier

Gardena, CA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I adopted Molly from a rescue up in WA in 2020. Through a divorce last year, I kept her, and then we moved down to Los Angeles in early 2025. Unfortunately due to both my housing situation, and the time I spend at work, I need to find her a good and loving home. She is a total sweetheart and loves to snuggle. She doesn't do well with other dogs, and children can be overstimulating for her.

Bonnie

German Shepherd Dog Husky

Female, 10 mos

Torrance, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Bonnie's DOB is estimated to be 1/4/2025 and we think she is a shepsky (shepherd husky mix). We pulled Bonnie and her brother, Clyde, from a high skill shelter when they were 6 weeks old as euthanasia was imminent. As soon as we got them home is was evident they both had pneumonia with Clyde's being more severe. With medication, 4x daily vapor steam and lots of TLC they both pulled through! They have their distemper, parvo and rabies vaccinations and are thriving. Bonnie is more outgoing and full of puppy energy. She is learning to walk on leash and is a fast learner! She is also learning to go outside and making some progress in this area. She is ready for her forever home where her training can continue so she will be a well adjusted, fun to be around adult. She will be spayed once her new family is found. She needs to go to a family who is committed to her well being.
