Story
Mo is a 14-year-old gentle, sweet senior with a heart of gold. I rescued him as a puppy in Los Angeles, and he has been a deeply loved and loyal companion ever since. He’s shy at first, but in a calm, loving home he warms up quickly and becomes incredibly affectionate. Once comfortable, Mo is a true cuddle bug who loves soft beds and blankets, sunbathing, snacks, and a good belly rub. He thrives on quiet companionship and being close to his person. Mo is approximately 11 lbs and in excellent health for his age. He has no medical conditions and recently had full senior bloodwork done ahead of his annual dental cleaning — all looked great. His eyesight is still good, with only mild cloudiness, and he gets around very well. We’re looking to rehome Mo because our household now includes a toddler, and he would be happiest in a quiet, adult-focused home. This has been a very difficult decision for our family, but we know it’s what’s best for Mo’s happiness and well-being.

Story
Meet little Peaches. She was adopted at 11 weeks old from the North Central LA shelter. Her mother was a frenchie and her father a chihuahua. She is a French Bullhuahua! She is spunky, playful and affectionate. She is seven months old as of February 2026. She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on all her shots. She is a very healthy girl. Peaches would love a home with another playful dog companion but it is not necessary. She is very affectionate and sweet. She is still working on potty training and is used to using potty pads. She sleeps very well in her house/crate through the night. She LOVES to play with other dogs, even larger ones. She would be good in an older child home with respectful children. She is on the petite size for a frenchie mix at 13 lbs. She definitely has the personality of a frenchie! I would include her house/crate and bed which is her safe space. I am looking for the best home for her that will give her the time and affection she deserves.

Story
Hi! My name is Pumpkin. I'm 13 years old but often feel younger (and sometimes not). My mommy and daddy got me for their 50th wedding anniversary. I lost my daddy several years ago and now my mommy can't take care of me. She is fighting cancer and just became bound to a wheelchair. We can't go for the walks I love any more - I used to help her get to know everyone in the neighborhood. I know she loves me - she cried while writing this down for me - which is why she is trying to find a good home for me to live out my life. I'm hypo-allergenic and don't shed, although I do bark sometimes. I'm also used to having a doggie door which I use often. I have had surgery on both back knees so I should be good to go for a while. Please help us both out!

Story
This sweet boy has the kindest heart and so much love to give. He is deeply affectionate, gentle, and forms strong bonds with his people. Once he feels safe, he loves being close. He is a sensitive soul who does best in a calm, patient home where he can feel secure. Big changes can be overwhelming for him, but with reassurance and routine, his loving and loyal personality truly shines. This decision comes from love and the hope of finding him the best possible home. He deserves a family who will offer him patience, kindness, and understanding in return, he will give unconditional love. If you have a gentle heart and a peaceful home, he may be the perfect companion you've been waiting for.
