She is a 1 year old, playful girl. She is super energetic, loves to play with my kids. She was one of the puppies from a friend’s litter. I am looking for a loving home for her. She has lots of energy, needs a family who is patience, she can be scared of new people but does warm up very fast, needs with lots of love. Unfortunately, my new home doesn’t allow animals and I can’t accommodate her. Looking for the best home possible. She is pad trained, loves to play with toys.

Welcome Dottie! Dottie was saved from Devore Shelter. We do not know her full story unfortunately but she seemed very loved. Dottie is the sweetest love bug sitting at a whopping 63.4lbs. She is starting her HOT GIRL SUMMER journey, early! We believe Dottie is around 4yrs old but will know more from our trusted vets soon. She has the sweetest soul, just slightly confused as to why she ended up in a high kill shelter. Dottie is good with kids, other dogs, walks well on leash. She was very well fed but will now be on a weight-loss program to ensure her health longevity. This girl is crate trained and potty trained as well! She will be ready SOON as we think she is pretty healthy inside and out.

DNA test results show Paddington is a Bulldog/Staffy/Pit Bull mix, but 100% CUTE!Applications are now open for Paddington! Experienced adopters preferred but not limited to, as puppies are a lifetime commitment. Adoption contract will ensure Paddington is neutered when he is of age at our trusted vets, this medical expense is included in the adoption donation.

Story

Welcome back Billie (FKA Gabby) ! Billie was first rescued by us in May 2023 from the shelter & deemed aggressive. While that is not the case, we worked through her needs & got her adopted later that year! Billie has since returned to us due to her needs not being maintained as her family went through the devastating Eaton Fire in 2025. Billie is in need of some medical care before we get her cleared for adoption. She is fighting some infectious paws and interdigital cysts, otherwise a healthy gal! She is a family dog, multi-dog household, kids. Billie can be people selective with males & would need a slow proper introduction to be sure she is safe. She was very loved and WILL be very loved by another family again soon!
