Story

Gorgeous 7-year-old Bebe urgently needs her loving foster or forever family. This sweet 62-pound angel has had a tragic past, and we want to make sure Bebe lives a beautiful life filled with love and happiness going forward. Bebe’s previous owner died of an accidental overdose, and Bebe was found lying next to him, she ended up being confiscated and was taken to Downey shelter. We were asked to help sweet Bebe by an acquaintance of her previous owner, so she wouldn’t be euthanized. Bebe arrived with a horrible cough, that ended up being pneumonia, and she had to be hospitalized, and she was shut down, confused, and brokenhearted. Bebe is thankfully, over her pneumonia, but stuck at our vet boarding, and needs a loving home so she can decompress and receive the love and attention she so greatly deserves. She’s opening up and we are seeing life back in her eyes and her sweet demeanor and personality shine through. Bebe loves going on walks and will love having a yard so she can bask in the sun. Please help us help beautiful Bebe by fostering or adopting. Here are some words from her current foster: Bebe is a loving dog who gives warm kisses and loves big hugs! Her tail wags often with affection. She LOVES to be with people! She’s excited to run and play fetch with a tennis ball or toy, chase after water from the hose, sunbathe in the yard, and rest in her cozy bed. She is a perfect walker and she’s generally not a barker. We have introduced her to a friendly dog. She was very excited at first but then she settled in and both dogs walked nicely next to each other. She was not aggressive. If you're interested in adopting Bebe, please fill out an application at www.doggiebonez.com. You can also check out our social media pages on Instagram (@Doggie_Bonez_Inc_) and Facebook (Doggie Bonez) to see more of Bebe's cuteness. Our dog adoption fee, which includes vaccinations, fecal testing, wellness exams, microchipping, spaying, or neutering, is $500. If adoption isn't feasible, please consider fostering one of our pups. We are a volunteer-run non-profit dog rescue and always welcome new short or long-term doggie foster families.

Mosey

Australian Shepherd Australian Cattle Dog

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Mosey Fields, a very special puppy who is just under one year old. Mosey has a neurological condition, most likely Cerebral Hypoplasia, which makes him a special-needs dog. Despite his challenges, Mosey is a joyful and big-hearted pup. We recently put him in a jacuzzi with a swim vest, and he learned a lot about connecting his body with his brain. Initially, Mosey used to squirm on the floor like a reptile, but now he walks and romps around without a harness. Although he still does well with a harness for stability, he can now walk by himself in a large carpeted bedroom area. Mosey has made great progress - he has learned to track, make eye contact, jump on and off the couch, and loves to cuddle. He has also been playful around other dogs and adores people. This little fighter will benefit from a wheelchair and will thrive in a loving home. Consider making him a part of your family, and he will return the love and continue to grow into the best version of himself. If you're interested in adopting Mosey, please fill out an application at www.doggiebonez.com. You can also check out our social media pages on Instagram (@Doggie_Bonez_Inc_) and Facebook (Doggie Bonez) to see more of Mosey's cuteness. Our dog adoption fee, which includes vaccinations, fecal testing, wellness exams, microchipping, spaying, or neutering, is $500. If adoption isn't feasible, please consider fostering one of our pups.
