Story
I just got accepted into nursing school and my schedule is already so busy, I just don’t think we can dedicate the time needed for Lucy anymore. She is super sweet and loving and has a fun personality. She gets along well with my cats and does amazing with children. She is so smart and goofy, and sometimes has little bursts of energy, but still loves to lay with you and will follow you around. And also, her lilac Merle color is just stunning! Let me know if you think you could provide a great home for her. No breeding. Pet only. **Rehoming fee is $1500 (only half of what I paid for her) but is still negotiable to a good home. Message me for more photos or information, or if you’d like to see her in person.

Story
We took in Damian as a foster for a friend. He immediately was warm and welcoming to our home and toddler, especially keeping his boundaries with our toddler. He spent his puppy time around kids and was crate trained. Our home is an upstairs apartment where he did well with puppy pads and regular walks. Damian has escaped twice, both times were able to get him back but with difficulty. We believe he would benefit from a home with a yard, he needs more space than I can provide. After running after him the second time, I realized as I get further into my pregnancy I will not be able to go after him, especially if I have one or both children with me. I fostered Damian with the intention of adopting and now with a heavy heart am looking for a better life than I can give him. He is a really good listener, he responds best to a woman’s tone but will submit to the man of the house.

Bear is a friendly, energetic female dog who loves to play fetch and chase her favorite rubber balls. She’s full of personality and would make a wonderful companion for someone who has the time and energy to give her the playtime and walks she deserves. She’s great with other dogs and children, and she’s very smart and trainable always eager to please and quick to learn new things. Bear would thrive in an active home where she can get plenty of love, exercise, and attention. If you’re looking for a loyal, playful, and loving best friend, Bear might be the perfect match!

Story
We adopted Dino (formerly known as Axel) from the Coachella Valley Animal Campus at the Riverside County Fair in February this year. He’s a very energetic and playful dog, which is why we need to rehome him. My wife and I have a newborn and a toddler who require our attention, and we cannot give the attention Dino deserves. He needs a new family who can take him for walks, play with him, and call him a good boy. He’s a little over a year old, from what I recall. His adoption paperwork mentioned he was about 6 months old when we brought him home and that he was a German Shepherd mix. We are assuming he is mixed with husky based off his appearance. He has one brown eye and one blue eye, which is pretty cool in my opinion. He gets along with other dogs since we have two older dogs: a golden retriever and a pitbull mixed with a cattle dog. He is also friendly towards cats, as we have a 14-year-old chubby cat, and he is great with kids since he was always good to our toddler.
