Story
Ronda is a young and playful dog that enjoys the company of both humans and dogs! This girl is super sweet. She came from the Lancaster shelter in December and has been in various foster homes since. We would love for this perfect girl to find her forever home. Looking for Southern California adopters. Ronda is spayed, up to date on her shots and is in amazing shape. Initially she lost some weight after exiting the shelter due to her pneumonia but has gained it back since her last weigh in. This girl is so velvety soft, has the softest gray eyes, and the cutest gray nose. Reach out to us today!

Story
Please Meet Our Sweet Boy, Hobie from Baja. Born mid October 2024. I’ve put my heart and soul into trying to integrate Hobie into our lives, but I’ve reached the heartbreaking point where I truly believe it’s in his best interest to find a new, loving home. Hobie would thrive as the only pet in a household where he can soak up all the attention and give plenty of snuggles in return. He has lots of energy and loves visiting sniff spots where he can run freely off leash.He seems to enjoy agility work He is not 100% recall yet so would need to be in a fenced backyard. I’ll include his remaining training lessons and would even consider sponsoring additional ones to help ensure a smooth transition into his new home. Hobie is crate trained, sleeping through the night and can be crated in the day for 2-3 hours. We have a senior dog and two cats that he wants to play with but they are not interested. He has had some reactivity issues in the past but responding well to socialization training

Story
Rocky is a Rottweiler Mix, his estimated date of birth is 2/7/12 and he weighs 75 lbs. He is up to date on all of his shots and he is fixed. Rocky is OK with people but is not good with kids, cats, or small dogs. Rocky has a habit of jumping and he has a tendency to try to escape so he would need a home that was very secure. Rocky has food aggression and is very possessive of toys and people. He can sometimes have an over protective drive to certain people.  Rocky can be very vocal and would require a home with a lot of space as Rocky prefers to roam and would become destructive if restricted in a small space. Rocky is not good with new people or places and can be aggressive to other male dogs. He requires regular grooming and requires a special diet. Rocky is afraid of water and can become agitated by running water or large areas of water. He has a habit of dumping out his water dish. Rocky is not good on a leash despite repeated training and still has issues with house training and marking.We do not have a central location to see our dogs.  Meeting any dog is by appointment ONLY currently.

Story
Helen is a very sweet girl. Her EDOB is 7/2010 and she weighs 35 lbs. She is up to date on all of her shots and she is fixed. Helen is Ok with some people but she can be nervous around people that she does not know. Helen does vocalize a bit and is only suited for a large home with a large backyard as she has a very high energy level and needs to run around. She has some issues with accidents in the house and has issues with walking on a leash. She does not do well with cats, kids, or other dogs and has to be the only animal in a home. Helen has minor chronic skin issue which does require weekly medication to help.We do not have a central location to see our dogs.  Meeting any dog is by appointment ONLY currently.
