Story
🐾 Meet Dexter! Looking for His Forever Home ❤️Dexter is a sweet, loving, and energetic 1-year-and-4-month-old boy looking for a family to call his own! He weighs approximately 47 lbs and loves to run around, play, cuddle, and get all the belly rubs he can. He has lots of energy but is also a big cuddle bug who loves affection and spending time with his people. 🥰Dexter is potty trained and pee pad trained. He is comfortable around other dogs and would love a home where he can receive plenty of love, attention, and opportunities to play.He is still learning a few things and would benefit from a patient owner who can continue working with him. He tends to pull on the leash at the beginning of walks but usually settles down after a few minutes. He is not crate trained, so this is something his future family would need to work on with him. We're working on getting his vaccinations.Our biggest wish is for Dexter to find a loving forever home where he can be happy, safe, and cared for. 🐶💕

Story
Chanel is 5 years old. We were told she’s a beagle/pitbull mixed but are unsure. Never did a DNA test on her. She is potty trained, will bark at the door when needing to go. Has a decent recall. Amazing with kids and other people. She also does good around other dogs. We have to rehome her due to our household situation. We’ve had to downgrade to a smaller home, one household income and another child coming. She does have some skin allergies that we’ve tried to figure out, but do to financial reasons we just can’t keep up with it.

Story
Luna is a happy 9 year old Rat Terrier who is currently staying at a board & train in Salinas Ca. She is crate trained, loves to run & play & is quite affectionate when she gets to know you. She gets along with other dogs(unless they are running directly at her)but is very happy to run & explore by herself. No cats or kids. The Board & Train where she is living is also a working farm & she is not bothered by most of the animals there. She knows some commands & loves to walk & hike. She’s very smart & learns quickly. Would probably love scent work & a little agility work.
