Story
Titan is 2 yrs old and has lots of energy. We are super busy and our schedule doesnt permit us to dedicate time to him. He spends a lot of time alone. Looking for someone that can give him the attention we don’t. We got him from the shelter in the beginning of August, we wouldnt want to send him back to the shelter. He was very scared when we first got him. There are 4 children in our home ranging from 6yrs to 17yrs and he is very loving towards them. His favorite kind of playtime is jumping up on the boys and playful nipping. He has never bitten anyone.

Story
Hi, my name is Olaf, and I like warm hugs. I was rescued by some nice people from a really noisy shelter. I had a few friends at the shelter, which was nice, and I am making new friends now from the comfort a foster home, which is even better. I really like women, kids and other dogs my size. I generally like everyone I meet! As I'm discovering all the new people to love and places to enjoy slow introductions help me feel safe and have a good experience. My rescue family are helping me feel confident so I can shake over any new-life jitters and fully embrace my positive future. They said they humans have to work through this stuff too, so it's all good. They also say I have the cutest ears because they bounce when I walk..I can't see myself walking, but that sure does sound cute! Let me know what you think of my bouncy ears when we meet, ok? I am an active guy, but I also know when it's time for belly rubs and snuggles. I am as loving as I am playful, we can have so much fun together! I've been learning to wait at the door before walks, to be comfortable in my crate, and I already know basic stuff like sit, come, etc. I am really smart, if I do say so myself I walk well on leash and my favorite is walking with another dog friend, like my husky pal at the shelter or my shepherd pal in my foster home. I sometimes do think I am a lap dog, but I am not so tiny after all. I will do my best to not crawl into your lap, but I do so love to get as close to my human as possible for a sweet snuggle sesh. If you'd prefer, I will also happily lay my head head on your feet when you sit on the couch. Life is best enjoyed with those you love, and I have so much love to give! So, I'm officially putting myself out there now, and I hope we can meet to see if we are a good match for each other, I am so eager to find my forever family where I can be safe and loved for the rest of my life. Here's to hoping you will pick me! Olaf is 87#, 3years old, (soon to be) neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. If you'd like to meet him, please fill out an adoption application on our website: www.liveloveanimalrescue.org

Waffles

American Staffordshire Terrier Boxer

Female, 3 yrs 10 mos
Long Beach, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Waffles is a friendly, gentle, and sweet little lady looking for her forever home! She's a perfect petite size of around 32lb, house trained, crate trained and knows a few commands. She will sit for a treat and will take food very gently. She is a calm couch potato most of the time, but with little energy spurts here and there when she gets the zoomies! Waffles is a pretty mellow, low maintenance kinda girl. She enjoys going on walks and adventures (and walks very nicely on the leash) but she's not the type to want to go on big 2 hour hikes or runs. In fact you'd probably have to carry her home! Her favorite thing is chilling out at home with her people, snoozing by your side, or looking out the window watching the world go by. She has lived in a foster home with small children before, and has been very well behaved and kind with them. Waffles is friendly and excited to meet other dogs but she needs to be the only pet in the home. She can be defensive and territorial around her food and toys, and will be snappy and mean to other dogs (not ever to humans, only with other dogs and probably cats also.) Waffles is great with dogs outside the home, but not inside the home. We're looking for adopters who are happy to make Waffles their one and only. She is a truly lovely little dog and we hope to find her a wonderful home as soon as we can!

Story
Oliver is a very loving Great Dane. He is very laid back and mostly lounges around the house. He enjoys playing fetch and tug of war. Oliver loves to be near his people and is happiest when receiving love and affection. He can be quite stubborn at times, consistency and persistence go a long way. Our lives have become too busy for us to give him the life he deserves. I'm hoping to find him a loving home where he will get all the hugs and pets he deserves. He has had a few bite incidents. The trigger for the bites were when someone was trying to make him move when he didn't want to. Aside from one incident when an elderly woman was petting his face and he snapped at her, not biting, but his tooth scratched the skin on her hand. During these bite incidents he did not growel or give any warning signs prior to the bite.

Benny

St. Bernard

Size
(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Benny needs to be an only dog... a great match would be a loving "Saint Bernard savvy" adopter looking for a fluffy love bug & willing to devote time, continued training & leadership in exchange for limitless snuggles, love & devotion from Benny. Handsome 2-year-old Benny has a long list of very admirable qualities! He behaves perfectly at home, does not counter surf, sits & waits for his meals & is not a heavy drooler. A mellow, affectionate boy, Benny is content to stay quietly by your side if you work from home as the only dog. Although friendly with some dogs, Benny is sometimes "dog selective" & we feel he should be the only dog at his new home. Benny looks forward eagerly to his daily walks but won't require an intense amount of exercise. He rides well in a car & is not destructive. He sleeps through the night & is housebroken & neutered. If you are interested in Benny, please complete an adoption application on a laptop or desktop ( not a cell phone). https://www.sunnysaints.org/our-adoption-process.html
