Story

Papi has been with us since he was 6 weeks old. He is currently 4 years old. He loves attention and is house trained. Papi is very loving when he gets used to you. Perfect lap dog and cuddle buddy. We would love to keep papi with us but due to my wife expecting our second child, we are unfortunately unable to give him the attention and time he deserves. Papi does not get along with other pets. Specially cats and other dogs. Hes a COVID baby so he never got to socialize with other dogs. He is perfect for a single family home that is far away from fireworks. If there's any questions feel free to reach out! Much appreciated!

Story

Hi, I’m Emma, an 8-month-old girl with a gentle soul who is searching for a place to finally call home. I was rescued from neglect at just 4 months old, so feeling safe, loved, and reassured means everything to me. Once I trust you, I give my whole heart. I’m crate trained, house-trained, sleep through the night, and will let you know when I need to go outside. I love fetch, playtime, and staying active, and I need regular exercise to help me thrive. New environments can make me a little shy at first, and when I’m excited I may jump, so I still need patient guidance and continued training. I do best with experienced dog owners who understand young dogs and can provide structure, consistency, and affection. I’m incredibly loyal, eager to please, and longing for a permanent family who will love me for life 🐾❤️

Sparky

Dachshund

Male, Adult

Salinas, CA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Sparky, a lovable 4-year-old dachshund who is ready to find his forever home. Sparky came to us from a trusted family friend, and he has been nothing but a sweet, loyal companion ever since. He has a fun, energetic personality that will keep you smiling, but he also has a gentle side that makes him great to be around. Sparky is incredibly friendly-he doesn't bite and gets along well with people, making him a perfect fit for a loving home. Like most dogs, he absolutely loves to eat (and honestly, who doesn't?), which makes treats and mealtime a great way to bond with him. However, Sparky has a skin condition that has caused him to be hairless and have sensitive skin. He is also going blind in his right eye, meaning he requires more attention than your average dog. If you're looking for a perfect spark in your life, Sparky is a perfect match for you.

This handsome golden-colored pitbull is a gentle boy who’s still building confidence.

With patience, reassurance, and positive training, he relaxes and shows his sweet nature. He’s dog friendly and would thrive with someone willing to help him learn that touch and guidance can be safe and kind.
