Kobe

Pug

Male, Adult

Playa del Rey, CA

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Kobe was living in a garage when I got him. He's a very loving little man who wants to be loved and spoiled. (Don't all pugs) He loves love and enjoys playing with dogs his own size or smaller. It's a hit-or-miss with larger dogs. Kobe watches TV with his humans. You can see his head going side to side with the characters on the screen. He isn't fond of John Walsh or the lady "who walks 6 blocks" (I have no idea why) and isn't fond of lawyer commercials. HAHA Kobe LOVES his walks and does great on a leash. If he had a yard to cruise around in he would be in 7th heaven. If you are home most of the time, he would be fine being the only dog. If you are out of the home for a great deal of time, he would be better off having another dog. He's used to other dogs being around. Application and home check is required. If you aren’t willing to go thru the steps, please don’t inquire, you will not be considered. Thank you for looking.

Venice, CA

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Forrest, my sweet chocolate lab, is the epitome of love and joy. He’s a fun-loving, goofy companion who adores all humans, always ready to offer a wagging tail and a friendly nudge. Despite his affectionate nature, Forrest has become a bit reactive after being attacked, and it’s something I’ve been working on. He deserves a family that has the time and space to help him through his anxiety and give him the training he needs to feel secure again. Unfortunately, due to my job and apartment living, I am unable to give him the attention he deserves. It’s with a heavy heart that I’m rehoming him, hoping he finds a new home where he can thrive and be the loving, fun companion he truly is.

Story

Ash is the most wonderful adorable husky mix you could imagine. He is very well trained, amazing off leash , comes back when called and responds to directions. He is calm and unbothered by most things and happily accepts human leadership, kisses and belly scratches. He LOVES to play outside , explore and especially play with other doggies , big or small. Being a husky of course he loves to run fast , after a bike or being a running buddy to a human. Very relaxed in the car rides , restaurants and public places- take him anywhere .At home he is mostly calm and laying next to you , or where it is cool and relaxing. Ash is not very vocal , he will makes the adorable husky sound only when he sees a friend he could run around with. Ash has been on Hills prescription kibble and that does wonders for his digestion. While he is ok at home alone for 4-5 hours ,Ash would be happiest in a home with a family , other dogs or someone who's around a lot.

Story

I was surrendered to the pound by my family, which was a pretty devastating experience for me. I am very affectionate and attach very quickly to every person I meet. I do get attached so much that I don’t want to share you with somebody else and therefore, I may become protective. So, my foster mum tells me that I need a person who can be my leader, who will show me the way and help me to trust again. I am very smart and eager to learn. I am also great with dogs and I would just love it if I could live with a canine companion and have a yard to romp around in. I really don't need too much; just a new forever home — is yours available? If you are interested in meeting Jack Black, please download the Adoption Questionnaire, fill it out and email it back to us at info@farescue.org or fax (310) 362-0321. You can also meet this and/or other available dogs at our weekend adoptions. [Jack Black weighs 45 lbs.] (1504)

Goose

German Shepherd Dog

Marina del Rey, CA

Size

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

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hi, I'm Goose. I had a hard start in life and was very isolated from the world in a yard with my siblings and parents, so I am tentative about new situations. I need a little time to warm up to new people, other pets, anything unfamiliar but I have enjoyed the company of a small dog, a cat, and the neighbor's young children at my previous home. Due to some neglect during puppyhood, I have some deformation on my front leg but I get around just fine, and my vet said not to mess with it because it's functioning and I'm not in pain. As is typical for my breed, I am quite intelligent. I catch on quickly to what you are asking of me and I am eager to please you. I am also very loyal and I will bond very deeply with my forever family. I would like to find a family that will let me live inside with them and give me lots of love and exercise for the rest of my long life. I hope it's not impossible. Will YOU consider me? If you are interested in meeting Goose, please download the Adoption Questionnaire, fill it out and fax it back to us at (310) 362-0321. You can also meet this and/or other available dogs at our weekend adoptions. [Goose is 4 years old and weighs about 80 lbs.] (1808/2206)

Story

Hi, my name is Roxy! I don’t know how, but somehow I went from living with my human companion to being in a really scary place called the pound. Lucky for me; I was rescued by a wonderful rescue organization, and now I am being taken care of by a super foster family. They can tell you that I love to cuddle and chill, I’m very good with kids, I’m house-trained, and I love my walks and behave perfectly. I’m okay with being around other dogs, but I’m happy to just be around my human friends. I would be so happy to find my forever home, so I could give you all the love I have in me! If you are interested in meeting Roxy, please download the Adoption Questionnaire, fill it out and fax it back to us at (310) 362-0321. You can also meet this and/or other available dogs at our weekend adoptions. [Roxy is 11 years old and weighs 8 lbs.] (2003/2406)
