Story

Leo was found abandoned in the desert; dumped with four other dogs and left with nothing. A Good Samaritan drove them hours to safety at Antonio Animal Hospital, where a veterinarian and her team were ready to help them heal. And here's the incredible part--despite everything he has been through, Leo loves everyone. He just wants to sit in your lap, get pets, and be told he is finally safe. He is great with other dogs, amazing with people, and would make the sweetest addition to someones home this holiday season. But after a week, all four of the other dogs were adopted. Leo is the only one still waiting. He's being fostered right now, but the foster landlord said he cant stay long. Very soon, this loving boy will have nowhere to go.Leo deserves a family. He deserves warmth. He deserves love. And you can help give him that. Please click the link for his youtube video We are working on crate training and he is getting better but does need additional training.

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

Size

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

Kylie was found on the streets of Ontario protecting her sister Kendal. We brought her to our home so they would not be killed at the shelter. Kylie is so very sweet and is so proud of being the best sitter she can be. She is very receptive to training and loves to play with toys as much as she can. She has dominant behaviors which may be from litter syndrome with her sister so may do best with male dogs or on her own if she gets the time and commitment she needs. I am willing to work with her adopter to help with medical costs if needed as she will need up to date vaccines. Please help us find Kylie a second chance at life as soon as possible.

Darla

American Staffordshire Terrier

Female, Senior

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Darla is a 7-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier, about 65 lbs, and she is an incredibly loving, people-adoring dog. She is gentle, affectionate, and amazing with my grandkids. She seeks love, cuddles, and human connection and gives it right back. She struggles with dog social cues and does not do well with dogs or cats, especially when it comes to personal space or food. Because of this, I am terrified of managing multiple dogs alone. If you or someone you know can provide a single-pet home with an experienced, loving owner, or if you can please share this post, it could save her. She deserves a chance, and my heart is breaking trying to find it for her.

ADOPTABLE BLUE 🐾🤍💙🩵 Blue was brought into the Lancaster Shelter by his owner. The owner said he’d be back for him, so Blue stayed there in limbo unable to be adopted for 2 full weeks. In all that time, his owner never came back. And then when the hold was released, his owner still wasn’t there. It’s so sad. We got him out with an AMAZING foster. Blue goes to the dog beach & is learning how much fun it is to be a dog who is loved. He will make a great companion. Is his person out there?! 🥹 BLUE 5 months old Siberian Husky/Shepherd mix Neutered/UTD on vaccines Great with dogs Smart - already knows how to use the doggy door GREAT in the car - like amazing. Either sleeps or cuddles the whole time!!! GREAT at the dog beach Just overall a great dog Adoption application on: Mcdonoughrescue.com under Forms 💕💞
