Text or email only located in Palmdale approved for same-day adoption please only reach out if you are ready to adopt (661)609-2186 memeco635@gmail.com Hello, I’m Aria. I was surrendered to the rescue because I had coccidia and my Previous Owner didn’t want to take care of me, although my rescuer was full and didn’t have space for me, No other organization wanted to take me because they didn’t want to bother paying for my treatment, so my rescuer stepped up and took me on. I recovered fairly quickly and since then I’ve been running the show! I can be very bossy when we play and I let these bigger dogs know that the new girl in town gets to hoard all of the toys. I’m a sweet little Frenchie mix, but I’m also a tornado of chaos lol I have a certain stride that exudes confidence and I’m great with other animals as you can tell by my pictures, I have a new affection for chickens. I also have a foster father who is a one eyed duck named Marvin and most nights. I prefer to cuddle and sleep with him. Other than that, I am potty trained on puppy pads I’m healthy Spunky and sweet. I get along great with other dogs and cats. I like birds but not the ones that bite and I can honestly make a bed out of anything. I’m not a difficult puppy I’m just full of personality and if you think I would make a great addition to your family. Please reach out to my rescuer through text or email only to schedule a time and day for you to come and meet me. I am approved for same-day adoption so if you fall in love with me, you get to take me home same day. I really hope I hear from you soon. I’m ready to run a new house!

Story

TEXT OR EMAIL ONLY LOCATED IN PALMDALE APPROVED FOR SAME-DAY ADOPTION. PLEASE READ ENTIRE PROFILE BEFORE CONTACTING. HI, i’m Biscoff. I am a 11 week old one and a half pound teacup Chihuahua. I am going to be super tiny full grown most likely under 6 pounds so it is important that anyone interested in adopting me has experience or knows the importance of my health and care requirements as a teacup Chihuahua. I cannot go outside not in your front yard or backyard or to the store or anywhere until I am 16 weeks of age I have had all three of my Puppy boosters and my rabies vaccine 24 hours after that is completed on my 16 week vaccine Appointment I can go outside, but it is important that I am never left outside not even in your front yard or backyard alone and unsupervised. I am the easiest target for birds of prey. I am so tiny I can fit in any size purse, but I am also so tiny that a falcon or a hawk will see me as a midday snack and will swoop down and grab me without hesitation. I was abandoned in a box at the end of a busy street with my brother biscotti, and a volunteer with the rescue picked me and my brother up covered in fleas and ticks while we were skin and bones and severely dehydrated and brought us to the rescue immediately for Iv fluid treatment and our first meal in who knows how long. Our recovery was guarded because we were skin and bones and had no ounce of food in our stomachs, it took our rescuer a couple weeks before she was confident that we would survive and after we returned 10 weeks, we finally reached 1 pound on the scale! We haven’t been growing very much so she is confident we will remain tea cups. We are not bonded. We get along with a variety of dogs we like cats, but they are huge compared to us and we like children as long as they are gentle with us. Puppy is normally are highly susceptible to a variety of illnesses and diseases just from being exposed to the outdoors, but with tea cups the likelihood of us getting sick from outside exposure is almost doubled although we are healthy our rescues adoption requirement is for us to remain indoors until we are 16 weeks of age because Southern California is going through an all-time high of Parvo and distemper and when the weather gets warmer, it’s only gonna get worse. Personality wise I’m very chill. I love to cuddle and I live to be held. I will run and play, but I’m a little skittish with how big the world is around me I tend to hide in a corner when one of the big dogs comes and wants to rough house with the other larger dogs, but everyone is literally 3 to 5 times my size so I have to be careful and I have to be monitored whenever I go to play. I will remain on puppy kibble until I am 8 to 10 months old due to my tiny size and need for more nutrients in my food but then I can transition into small bites or small dog food if you’ve always wanted a tea cup look no further because I am ready for a home of my own if you’re interested in making me part of your family, please contact my rescuer via text or email to schedule a day to come and meet me. I am approved for same-day adoption so when you fall in love with me, you can take me home same day! I look forward to meeting you!

Story

Text or email only located in West Palmdale approved for same-day adoption only reach out if you are serious and ready for the commitment of adoption. Hello everyone, I am Florian. I was taken to a shelter in Shasta County and unfortunately, within a week I was placed on death row. My rescuer agreed to take a couple dogs from that shelter and I was one of the 15 that they dumped on her without her consent, but after looking into my eyes, she knew that I was destined for a better future and couldn’t bear the thought of Not taking me even though she had no space or resources for me. She decided to leave her home and rent a guest house for me and my siblings and friends from that shelter until she could find me a forever home. It has been one whole year since I’ve been in the rescue and everyone that I came with on that transport from that shelter has found their forever home except me I was rejected for the silliest reasons most recently someone didn’t like that my nose wasn’t completely black and that I had a white mark above my nose. I am a very loyal, sweet and dedicated dog and once I bond with you, I’m glued to your hip. I am a very active dog, but as long as you have a backyard or are willing to take me on at least two walks a day I’m perfectly fine. I am potty trained crate trained very well. Socialize with other dogs and children however, the rescue is on a ranch and I have developed a little bit of a prey drive with chickens and other small animals. If you have a wrap problem, I can correct it within a few days I understand commands in both English and Spanish and someone very kind decided to sponsor my adoption so my adoption is completely free to the family who decides to give me my final forever home. I’m a little on the smaller side and I am full grown and will not get any bigger 35 pounds is my peak weight but there’s so much loyalty and love wrapped up in the small package, so if you think I would make a great addition to your family, please contact my rescuer with the information directly above my story and schedule a day to come and meet me again. My adoption is sponsored so my adoption fee is waived and I am completely free, but you still have to sign an adoption contract before taking me home and taking the adoption picture to go on the adoption wall of fame. I really hope I find my forever home soon. Everyone I know has found loving homes and I’m just patiently waiting for my turn, but I look forward to finding you and showing you what unconditional love is really like!

I cannot go outside not in your front/backyard or to the store or anywhere until I am 16 weeks of age!

I am the easiest target for birds of prey.

It was so hot that day and we were close to giving up, but thankfully, with God‘s mercy we were found in Time and she brought us to the rescue immediately for Iv fluid treatment, deworming, a flea and tick dip, emergency eye care for myself and our first meal in who knows how long! We were absolute troopers and we knew the fight would be worth it, I could not wait to get out of isolation so I could run and play and socialize with all the other animals. We are not bonded I honestly prefer to spend more time with my rescuer than I do with my own brother, but I also prefer to spend more time with other dogs than my brother has. He is very calm and mellow whereas I am very playful and social. I love children as long as the children aren’t too rough and I like cats even if the cats don’t like me lol I love to cuddle and I live to be held I will run and play, but I’m a tiny little rambunctious puppy, so I must be kept in a safe environment because I can disappear under anything. I am the prince of hide and seek. I do have mild separation anxiety. I don’t like being left completely alone so someone who is able to be with me the majority of the day is ideal or someone who has another companion to keep me company would be ideal as well. it’s not a requirement, but just know you will have to work with my separation anxiety as I am used to my rescuer being home 24 seven to take care of me and all the other rescue friends. I will remain on puppy kibble until I am 8 to 10 months old due to my tiny size and need for more nutrients in my food but then I can transition into small bites or small dog food. If you’ve always wanted a teacup look no further because I am ready for a home of my own if you’re interested in making me part of your family, please contact my rescuer via TEXT OR EMAIL ONLY to schedule a day to come and meet me. I am approved for same-day adoption so when you fall in love with me, you can take me home same day! I look forward to meeting you!

Story

Text or email only located in Palmdale approved for same-day adoption serious inquiries only please only reach out if you are ready to adopt (661)609-2186 memeco635@gmail.com Hello, I am Lucio. I was named after my rescuers Primo and she has been dreading the day of listing me available for adoption because she has admittedly grown extremely attached to me.😣 I have been brought up with her personal dogs the last few weeks and I have shown so much obedience skill and recall she thinks I’d be a good service dog prospect. I’m learning commands in three different languages, English, Spanish and Japanese and when it came to getting my vaccines and other vetting, I was a perfect gentleman. I did not flinch or cry, even when getting microchipped, I didn’t have to be put to sleep or numbed for my microchip I just sat there and took it like a champ! 😁 I’ve been blessed to socialize with just about every animal you can think of ! Other dogs, cats, birds, rodents, ducks, chickens, turkeys, house goats, sheep, Quails, and many more. I am very sweet and very gentle with everyone. I love to play and although I’d do find alone, it is my rescuers dream for me to go to a home with other animals or children. I am incredibly social, but it’s not a dealbreaker if my forever family doesn’t have a companion for me, I’ve shown a lot of focus and attention to my rescuer when doing anything around the house or training other dogs so I would make a great emotional support or therapy Dog prospect I’m not going to be very big maybe 10 pounds when I’m full grown, but probably less than that but I have a very big personality despite my small size. This is the hardest part in rescue for the rescuer because getting attached doesn’t happen as often as you would think when you have done it as long as she has, but knowing I go to the absolute best home possible is her overall goal so please be ready to provide my rescuer with lots of information on you, your home life, and family/self and expect tears when you come meet me, I look forward to meeting you!
