Story
Quavo seems like a very happy dog.  This 10 year old boy was adopted in 2016 but ended up back at the shelter as a stray.  He is very low energy and loves to take naps outside.  He seems good with other dogs, he really loves people, including children.  Quavo really likes to get his head scratched and tummy rubbed.  That will put a smile on his face!  If you give him a chance we think you might find your perfect dog! ##1838602##

Story
🌟 Meet Rango! 🌟 He’s a bundle of love wrapped in fur with floppy ears! and he’s pure joy from head to toe! Rango was born with a neurological condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia, more commonly known as “Wobbly Cat Syndrome” in cats. His case is considered severe, he can’t walk but that doesn’t slow him down! Rango scoots, rolls, and wiggles his way to whatever (or whoever) he wants! You've never seen a puppy scoot so fast as you will when Rango sees food! Rango’s playful, vocal, and an expert snuggler. He has a big personality, a happy heart, and a whole lot of love to give. Rango reminds me every day that different doesn’t mean broken, it means extra special. I think Rango could fit in with any family that has the time to give, he does need a lot of attention. He loves everyone and everything! He hasn't been around children yet but he does great with adults and other animals.

Story
Looking to rehome my 6-year-old female pitbull as soon as possible (preferably before Christmas). She’s extremely sweet, gentle, house-trained, great with other dogs, and good with children. Very low-energy — mostly loves cuddling, lounging, sleeping, and being around people. She’s been an indoor dog her whole life. I’m a toddler mom and no longer have the time or energy to give her the attention she needs. Because of that she’s starting to act out, and it’s not fair to her. She deserves a home where she can be loved and included again. Health: • Has a manageable allergy-related skin issue • Allergic to chicken • Needs updated shots • No serious health problems FREE and comes with her crate and supplies.

Story
Teddy is a very healthy and active puppy. Like all young puppies he gets excited when meeting new people . He loves to run and is very content spending time outside and exploring. He is potty trained and crate trained as well. He was scheduled for manners training in late October at Paws for ever in Orange County these are already paid for and can be transferred to new owner. Due to unexpected health issues and our older age, we are not able to give him the attention he needs.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Rocky, a laid-back, big-hearted guy who`s looking for the perfect companion. Rocky thrives in a calm, quiet home, ideally with an individual or couple who can offer him the peace he craves. While he`s tolerant of kids, he prefers to snuggle only with his bonded person. True to his cattle dog nature, Rocky is protective of his territory and takes his time warming up to newcomers. But with a few tasty treats, he’s quick to make new friends! Out in public, like at Lowes or the park, he’s friendly and allows people to pet him.He’s an easy-going guy who enjoys nice walks or short hikes and does well on a leash. However, he’s not a fan of other dogs and would prefer to be the only pup in the home. Rocky is food-driven, so with patience and training, he can overcome his dog-on-dog challenges.Rocky is fully house-trained, and he’ll always let you know when it`s time to go potty. He can be left home alone for long periods and is perfectly well-behaved—no chewing, no accidents. He’s also pretty good at following basic commands: sit, down, stay, and come. He doesn’t jump up on guests or try to dash out the door when it opens.While he can tolerate cats, small animals like squirrels aren’t his thing, and he won’t chase them. He enjoys playing tug-of-war and carrying around his stuffies (though he doesn’t chew them up!). Rocky also loves to bury bones and toys that he’s particularly fond of.He has a sensitivity to certain ingredients like corn, wheat, and soy, so he requires allergy-friendly food. He’s also afraid of thunderstorms, so a little extra care during storms will go a long way.Though Rocky hasn’t been crate trained, he seems to like the idea of having his own space. With his thick fur, he does require regular brushing, but professional grooming isn’t necessary. He`s not a fan of water or swimming, but he doesn’t bark excessively—just enough to alert when something’s up.If you’re ready for a loyal companion who thrives on a peaceful, loving environment, Rocky could be your guy!
