Story
🐾 Sweet Stray Dog Looking for a Loving Home 🐾 This boy was a stray in my neighborhood for almost two weeks before I took him in. I have had him for about a month now, and he has been such a gentle, loving dog. He is great with people. I even take him with me to drop off and pick up my daughter from school, and everyone loves him. I also took him to the beach park in Long Beach, and he did really well with other dogs that came up to say hi. He is calm, friendly, and very well-behaved. He sleeps in my cozy garage at night and has never peed or pooped inside. He waits patiently for me to take him out to do his business. He is just a good boy looking for a home where he can be loved and cared for. 📸 More pictures and videos available upon request! Please find it in your heart to give this dog a forever home he truly deserves. I wish I can keep him but my hands are full since I own 4 female dogs that I also have rescued from the streets. I will sponsor the neuter. Thank you!

Story
Gordo is a sweet English Bulldog with the kindest heart. He came into our lives during a difficult time, when a friend was planning to put him to sleep. My parents couldn’t let that happen, so we opened our home to him and gave him the best life we could. Gordo is calm, loving, and gentle. He loves pets, enjoys his meals, and is happiest when he’s cozy and sleeping nearby. He thrives on companionship and enjoys having people around him. Due to an upcoming move and housing restrictions, we can no longer keep him. This decision is heartbreaking, but our priority is finding Gordo a safe, loving forever home where he can continue to be cherished. He has so much love left to give and would make a wonderful companion.

Story
Bruno is a four-year-old, smart and gentle dog with a loving heart. He is well-mannered and knows basic commands such as sit and give paw. With time, dedication, and plenty of treats, Bruno is eager to learn new tricks and enjoys training sessions. He has a calm and humble personality and loves being around people. Bruno has lived with other dogs and generally does very well, remaining relaxed and friendly. The only thing to note is that he can be protective of his food, so it’s best that he is fed separately from other dogs. Bruno does have some skin allergies and will need an owner who can continue helping manage them, but with proper care he does great. Overall, he is a sweet, loyal, and well-trained dog who would make a wonderful companion in a loving home.

Story
Looking for a loving family to open their home and hearts to a wonderful dog! This furry friend is full of love, very playful has a lot of energy, and is ready to bring joy to their new family. He is 2 in a half years old. Im not able to take care of him properly due to a busy work schedule. I don’t t take him out as often as I used to. I feel bad and I know another family can offer him what I can’t give him at the moment. I can have him neutered before or after adoption.

~2-3 yrs old. Sweet Sophie loves making human friends. She has a preferance of big dogs only. (i.e. boxers, retrievers, etc). Sophie tends to chase cats. Oh! Did you notice, she is a lucky TRIPAWD! That does not slow Sophie down, she is playful and nothing short of ADORABULL! Sophie will be available to adopt once she is medically healed from her current amputation. Sophie is quick on 3 legs but will tend to rest as needed. A furever home and possibly a new set of wheels to assist is in her future! Single story home preferred.

Story
Once was a stray, Petunia is now safe under C&T Rescue! This little girl was found roaming the streets, no microchip or information attached. After multiple attempts to locate an owner or information, no such luck. Petunia is a standard size French Bulldog with an overall good bill of health, as she has been cleared by our trusted vets! Petunia is available for adoption applications! Petunia will undergo spay surgery and recover while we find her FUREVER HOME! ~2-3 yrs old, possibly had 1 litter prior. Petunia is currently being fostered in a multi-dog home so we believe does well with other dogs. Kids/Cats not tested. Please apply below for sweet Petunia!
