I’m a chunky mellow puppy who doesn’t like being alone I’ve been kept indoors because I’m too young to go outside and can’t go outside until I’m 16 weeks old and have had all my puppy boosters and rabies. I love to cuddle and I am a very curious puppy but I’m not an active or hyper puppy so if a calm and chill companion is what you seek, look no further! I am approved for same day adoption so if you fall in love with me my rescuer can help you finalize my adoption when you come to meet me you just sign the Adoption Contract, pay the adoption fee, take the adoption picture for the Adoption Wall of Fame and than you get to take me home and love me forever!

Story
Text or email only located in Leona Valley approved for same-day adoption (661)609-2186 memeco635@gmail.com Hello, I miss piggy. I was surrendered to the rescue after my Previous Owners attempted to breed me after months of neglect. I haven’t even turned a year old yet, but their plans were to use me as a breeding machine. I was extremely malnourished and thankfully with Vet intervention, they pressured my Previous Owners to Surrender me. It took months for my rescuer to help me gain weight but thankfully I had no issues getting close to people children or other animals. I absolutely love other animals however because of my neglect and starvation sometimes I get a little protective over food. I have NEVER bitten anyone or gone after any other animals I just prefer to eat by myself. My breed is called exotic micro bully and I’m a very short stocky girl but I’m a little playful dork who doesn’t understand I’m not a Chihuahua… do you know how to sign me up for WWE? I feel like I could win a nice belt because I love throwing myself at whoever I’m playing with and drowning them in kisses. I don’t know my own strength, but I love to play and I love to cuddle and I love to get belly rubs. When I don’t get enough attention, I will gently pay you and wine and rest my head on you. I absolutely love getting a bath and getting pampered careful not to fill the tub up too much. I might just fall asleep I’m very good on my leash and I have even started off leash recall training! I’m a very smart girl who just wants to play all day. I’m not gonna get any bigger. I don’t have any issues drooling and I’m very gentle when accepting treats I’m just a bundle of love ready for her forever home did I mention I absolutely adore children!? I would be perfect for any family dynamic! A house with a small yard, an apartment, a mobile home ect. I am a very good girl with very good manners and I’m just waiting for a Family to call my own❤️ if you think that might be you, feel free to reach out to my rescuer and schedule a time to meet me. I am approved for same-day adoption and the adoption process is very simple. I guarantee when you come and meet me you will fall in love. I will patiently look forward to meeting you!

Meet Cali! 🐾Cali is a 1.5-year-old mixed breed who is the definition of "happy-go-lucky." Just two months ago, Cali was found abandoned and completely alone on the streets of Mexico. Despite having a rough start to life, she has zero bitterness—she is incredibly joyful, gentle, and smiles a lot!Cali is the perfect mix of fun and respectful. She loves going on walks and is full of youthful energy, but she is also remarkably polite. When you are sitting on the couch, she gives you your space and won't jump all over you. She is incredibly resilient and happy with almost anything life throws her way.Due to unexpected housing and financial hardship, her family is heartbrokenly looking for a stable, secure home where she can thrive. Because of her street-dog past, she is curious and will need a home committed to keeping gates secure, but she will reward you with endless loyalty and smiles.Cali is a young, healthy mutt who is ready to be your absolute best friend.
