Story
Mia was surrendered by a homeless woman, she was going to leave her out on the streets so we took her in and have been trying to look for a home for her, but my kids have gotten pretty close to Mia. She is a little over 1 years old. (Estimating) We took care of Mia for some months now but unfortunately we cannot keep her any longer. I have a pretty busy schedule and we also live in an apartment.She needs more space and more attention. She doesn’t really like strangers(she has to get used to you) and is very protective. She has never been aggressive with my children because she knows them. We’re hoping to find her a loving home. Mia is very loving and loves to cuddle. She also has a lot of energy since she is very young.

Story
This incredibly sweet girl is looking for an exceptional forever home. She is well-socialized and has been lovingly fostered with other dogs, making her a wonderful companion for many types of households. She lost one of her eyes prior to entering rescue, but it doesn’t slow her down one bit; she’s happy, resilient, and full of life. Her loving nature makes her truly special. She adores attention, thrives on affection, and would love nothing more than to be your #1 girl. When her person is around, she couldn’t care less about other dogs, she just wants to be close to you. She loves to snuggle, be held, and soak up all the love and pets she can get. She’s also perfectly content sitting beside you on the couch (though with her short little legs, she’ll need a little help getting up by use of stairs or in your loving arms). As part of her adoption, the rescue covers the cost of her spay, microchip, deworming, and first vaccinations, including rabies. She will also go home with a collar and/or harness, along with permanent rescue ID tags. She’s ready to bring endless love and joy to the right home.....could that be yours? This girl has been through so much, and it’s finally her turn to be cherished. Before rescue, she lost her eye, was found wandering as a stray, heavily pregnant, until a good Samaritan brought her to the shelter. She arrived with a severe ear infection and was vomiting, but with proper care, she’s now thriving. We’ve learned she loves salmon (no chicken for this girl!) and does best relaxing for a few minutes after meals instead of jumping right into playtime. She was so lucky to land in our safety net, now she just needs her forever person. She does know how to use the dog door and she uses the potty pads pretty consistently. All she wants is your love, and she will give you 10,000% loyalty in return.. ***************************************************************************** PLEASE NO CALLS OR TEXTS AS WE ARE ALL VOLUNTEERS, COMPLETE AN APPLICATION IF INTERESTED: saveabowwow.com/rescue/adoption-form If listed, dog is available.

Story
Lucky came to rescue as a breeder surrender alongside several of his siblings. Thankfully, he was never used for breeding and now gets to enjoy the carefree, happy life he deserves. He has since been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and fully embraced his favorite hobby: pool time! (*mini kiddy pool that is) Lucky is the kind of dog that brings fun and laughter wherever he goes. His absolute favorite thing in the world is splashing around in his little pool, and he would love a home that will let him continue his favorite pastime. Whether he’s zooming around the yard, chasing a ball, wrestling with dog friends, or happily cooling off in the water, he is always enjoying life to the fullest. He gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and would thrive in a home with playful canine companions, a secure backyard to explore, and the freedom to come in and out at his leisure. Beyond his playful side, Lucky is also incredibly easygoing, affectionate, friendly, happygolucky and loving. He’s the perfect mix of fun adventure buddy and sweet companion. Life with Lucky is guaranteed to be full of smiles, entertainment, and plenty of "poolside" fun. Though he loves his little pool, unfenced pools would be a no, as it could yield major safety concerns due to his love for water, and inability to swim.

Story
So after going to several no kill rescues and LA County shelters, we decided to adopt an 11 month old German Shepherd, Anatolian. I have had him now for three weeks. We took him for a veterinary check. He’s all up on his vaccines. I put them on the best flea and tick treatment. He loves to be cuddle and play with his toys. We allow him to come in and sleep on his bed in our living room. He’s out in the daytime. Bruno now gets along fine with my 6 year old Jack Russell.
