Story
Meet PawPaw! 🖤 This handsome 12 year-old chihuahua mix was pulled from a high-kill shelter in Bakersfield, where he came in as a stray — though one look at this guy and it's clear he has known love before. He wasted no time winning over every single person at that shelter, and it wasn't long before he was promoted to the most important role available: official office dog. Cuddles, people time, and a warm lap? He was made for this life. Now safe in his San Diego foster home, he is living his absolute best days. He gets along beautifully with other dogs and people alike and has a very specific idea of the perfect nap setup — ideally on top of a pillow, surveying his kingdom like the distinguished gentleman he is. He does have some fatty tumors, which are common in older dogs, but they haven't slowed him down one bit. He is happy, healthy, and full of love to give. At 12 years old, this sweet soul isn't looking for a lot — just a warm home, some cozy pillows, and a person who will love him the way he so clearly deserves. Could that person be you? Apply to adopt today! 🖤

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Coco Chanel! Coco is a delightful young dog who overcame a challenging start after being abandoned by those meant to care for her. Now thriving in a nurturing foster home with ASR, she has blossomed into a friendly and energetic companion. Coco is playful and has mastered several commands, being trained in both crate, house, and leash use. Coco likes to keep her mind moving, constantly working on her commands. Coco is 2.5 years old and weighs around 45 pounds. Coco would prefer to be the queen of her castle. Although she can be a bit protective and may bark at strangers, once she is given treats, she becomes the gentlest and happiest dog. She is affectionate with people, relishing cuddle time on the couch or bed. Coco needs to stay active; she loves to run and play with enrichment toys. A yard would be perfect for her to expend her energy, and she has a special love for water, especially when the hose is on. To truly thrive, Coco would benefit from an owner who understands her breed and can match her lively spirit, making her an ideal companion for families with older children who are dog savvy and understand the importance of respecting boundaries. She is available for foster-to-adopt! She is also in search of an active foster who can keep her busy with hikes and outings! If interested in fostering Coco, please click HERE! If you would like more info or would like to schedule a playdate, please fill out an application HERE. Coco's adoption fee is $495 and includes her spay, vaccinations, microchip, and flea treatment.
