Story
I adopted Bear from two young ladies that rescued him from a kill shelter retrained him to re-home him. I’ve had Bear since age 3 he is now 9. He is the best dog I’ve ever had. He is such a good boy. He enjoys playing tug a war with his toys. He’ll run and get his toys for you to play with him. He loves walks anywhere but loves the beach. He’s wonderful with other dogs. I’ve never had him around a cat so not sure about that. He is great around kids. I’ve had my grandkids around him for many years and he’s great. He loves sunbathing. He does jump up on men when they walk into our home but he just wants to play. He’s trained to sleep on his dog bed and crate trained also. He will sneak onto the couch when no one is looking silly boy. He’s a big Ike goof he prances around in excitement. Help me please my life situation has changed drastically and I can’t keep him.

Story
Since puppy-hood Olive has always been a little shy and stand off-ish yet curious, playful and friendly. He’s been around other pets in the home and generally keeps to himself but every now and then will interact and want to play. we are looking for someone that spends more time often at home and is able to give Olive the specific care, patience and attention he requires.Olive is 8 years old now and potty trained but has since developed territorial the need to constantly mark on all areas. we have gone through the extensive process of getting him special male diapers, putting up potty pads on the floors and walls around the house, constantly letting him and out, training courses before subjecting him to being fixed which our vet has claimed may not fix the issue. we have also been put in a position to work multiple jobs and are rarely home. We feel bad having to leave him out all day and unfortunately am no longer to keep up with his specific requirements

Story
Belle is a sweet, gentle senior dog looking for a forever home. She has a very peaceful personality and loves to be pet around her ears. She gets excited about meal time and getting her nightly snack. She does a little tap dance when she gets excited. She is food motivated and waggles when she’s excited. Comes with two beds (one for inside and one for outside). She LOVES to walk on her leash and is incredibly well behaved. Potty trained (even goes outside when wet/raining). We're suddenly moving out of state and can't take her with us :(

Story
This little girl is Mamma Mia. She’s very difficult to get good pictures of because she stays glued to you.🤣 she’s very affectionate, playful, loving. Around 2yrs old, gets along with dogs, people of all ages. Crate trained and also does well freely in the house. Here is a little bit more about her. Meet Mama Mia – The Ultimate Velcro Dog! Mama is a sweet, affectionate girl who is ready to leave her past behind and become someone’s beloved fur baby. Before coming to us, she had one litter of puppies—two of whom are also available for adoption—but now it’s her turn to be the one who is pampered and adored. With her plush, soft coat that feels just like a plushy stuffed toy, Mama is made for cuddles. She’s spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and an absolute dream companion. While she enjoys playing with other dogs, her heart truly belongs to her person—she thrives on attention and just wants to be by your side. Mama is incredibly smart, listens intently, and will do anything asked of her. She follows directions beautifully and is always eager to please. Whether you’re looking for a snuggly couch buddy, a loyal shadow, or a gentle, loving soul to call your own, Mama is ready to fill that role with all her heart. Could you be the one to give Mama the love she’s been waiting for? Text or call us to learn more about her, and set up to meet her and see why she’s so special! 661-840-7052

Story
CoCo has been with us for 6 months, and we can’t believe he hasn’t found his forever home yet. He’s smart, silly, and incredibly loving — everything you’d want in a companion. We’re not exactly sure of his breed, but our best guess is a Labrador/Husky mix. What we do know is that CoCo is one-of-a-kind. He was leash trained in minutes, loves people, and has a personality that keeps you smiling. He even waits for you to get your camera ready before striking a pose! Before coming into rescue, CoCo was found on the streets with another dog — likely his closest friend. When that dog was tragically hit by a car and didn’t survive, CoCo refused to leave his side. His loyalty and love run deep, and he’s been carrying that same gentle heart with him ever since. CoCo would thrive in a home where he can be included in daily life. He has a lot of love to give and would make a loyal, fun, and affectionate best friend. If you’re not ready to adopt, consider fostering. It helps dogs like CoCo transition from kennel life to home life — and truly makes a difference. CoCo is neutered, vaccinated, and ready to meet you. Come fall in love with him today
