Story
Breed: Pit Bull X DOB: 6/2015 Gender: male Altered: yes Coat: medium Size: large Color(s): tan/white Description: Hi, I'm Cain, a handsome Pit Bull X in need of a new home as my home was lost in the Bobcat Fire. I enjoy going for walks, being pet and interactive toys. My treats of choice are fruits and vegetables. I'm good with children, but I need to be your one and only fur baby in the home. I've had training and know sit, stay, lay and leash. I occasionally dart out the door, but all you have to do is ask me to sit and stay before going out the door. I have hypothyroidism and need daily medication. I'm also on anti-anxiety medication which I may not need in my forever home. I'm used to living in a home, who wouldn't become anxious when I unexpectedly had to leave. I know my breed gets a bad rap, but I hope you'll fill out an online application to come and meet me for yourself what a great guy I am.November 7, 2024, 11:05 am

Available to foster or adopt!Breed: German Shepherd DOB: 2/2020 Gender: male Altered: yes Coat: medium Size: large Color(s): black/brown Description: ***Needs a Foster Home*** This dog is in need of a foster home as well as a permanent home. If you are interested in fostering please fill out an online application. Hi, I'm Icarus, a handsome 100% German Shepherd Dog (DNA test) rescued from Animal Services. I'm grateful to my sponsor for making it possible for me to come into the CARL program and for giving me another chance at finding my forever home. It was noted at Animal Services that I loved squeaky toys and tummy rubs! I had been responding well to leash training with their staff and volunteers. They thought the best home for me would be adult only with no other dogs and generally minimal contact with other dogs. If you're interested in meeting me, please fill out an online application. *Thank you to Sharon for sponsoring this wonderful dog at the Burnice Kraemer Sanctuary and giving him the chance for a better life.

Story
Available to foster or adopt!Breed: Pit Bull X DOB: 9/2021 Gender: male Altered: yes Coat: short Size: large Color(s): chocolate/white Description: ***Needs a Foster Home*** This dog is in need of a foster home as well as a permanent home. If you are interested in fostering please fill out an online foster application. Hi, I'm Aries, a very friendly Pit Bull X in need of a new home as I was left behind at a relative's house and they unfortunately can't keep me. I grew up with another dog and we constantly played together until we got bigger, then we started not getting along so much. It could be due to the fact we both weren't neutered. I'm an active big boy who loves playing fetch and cooling off in the kiddie pools they have a the kennel. I'm a lap dog if you'll let me and love giving and receiving affection. I'm good with older children, but it's unknown how I would do with younger ones. What I don't love is being left alone for long periods of time. I enjoy playing with other dogs and I do well in play groups at the kennel with other active dogs. I'm good on pack walks too. It's unknown how I would do with cats. I know some basic commands, but could use some work on leash training. I'm treat motivated so that will help with teaching me new things. I know my breed gets a bad rap, but I truly hope you'll come meet me and see what a great guy I am. Cause you know I'm a certified good boy when the vet just has to take a picture with you when you visit for a checkup! She said I was amazing!

Story
Breed: Chihuahua X DOB: 1/2013 Gender: male Altered: yes Coat: medium Size: small Color(s): brown/white Description:Hi, I'm Jax, a shy Chihuahua X in need of a new home with my 'brother' Stewart as our beloved owner sadly has passed away. We're a bonded pair and need to be adopted together.I'm more reserved and enjoy a comfy lap to sit in. I know come, walk well on leash and I'm crate and paper trained too. I see myself as the boss and can be a finicky eater and a bit of a nipper. I like to cuddle, but on my terms.We're older less active little guys who are good with other dogs and cats too. I tend to get jealous if I find a cat in the lap I covet and will protest. We need an adult only home where there is someone home all the time for us to be happy. If you have room in your heart and home for two sweet little guys, please fill out an online application to meet us.February 17, 2025, 8:40 pm
