Story
Apollo was rehomed to me in 2024 due to a friend moving and unable to take him. He’s very loyal and lovable. I want someone who is looking for a companion dog. His temperament is great he doesn’t mind people at all. He’s only been around teenagers and young adults. He’s very smart and trainable. He needs attention, someone to play with him and take him on daily walks.

Story
Alaska was rescued in 2021, after found wandering in the desert. She’s been a very good dog, is kind, gentle, doesn’t bark, and is good with other dogs and kids. She’s house trained and crate trained. I sustained a shoulder injury from a car accident and haven’t been able to walk her. Alaska pulls on a leash. I’ve tried multiple tools and training tips, but have never been able to 100% resolve this. She’s been around kids the whole time she’s been with us. We have a four year old who has never warmed up to dogs and he doesn’t like her in his space. We moved last Fall and since the move I can see she’s become anxious, sad, and her life simply isn’t what we would want. Alaska loves to play and can be really silly and sweet. We both have very demanding jobs and find ourselves exhausted. The move has been hard and we want better for this sweet baby. She’s truly a wonderful dog. Probably the best I’ve ever had. She is probably around 6 now.

Story
Nala is the biggest sweatheart and loves people with her whole heart. She loves to play, run, walk and cuddle. Unfortunately she no longer gets along with my other dog. She has gotten into it and has bit her on two separate occasions. I also don’t have the space to separate them and both be happy. She would be an amazing dog in an only pet household. If I could keep her I would because she really is the biggest lover and goofball.

Story
EXPERIENCED OWNER. ONLY DOG. Meet Pugsley! ~3yo. A super cute, energetic, funny, SMART, bundle of love. We adopted him in Ohio from a vet office January 2024 and moved him to California with us in April. Since bringing him home, he’s provided lots of laughs, snuggles, and fun; however, he’s also brought quite a bit of anxiety. Unfortunately, Pugs resource guards and wants to be the “big dog” of the house. He has attacked our 50lb dog multiple times- once to the point we had to go to ER vet. He is quick to try to attack any dog larger than him. Rehoming is not something we want to do, but feel we have to do. Our big dog just had a huge surgery and has cancer. Pugsley continues to try and attack him, so is in his crate most of the day to keep them separated. It’s just not fair to either of them. He is playful with cats. AMAZING with babies and children under guidance. Intelligent, but strong willed- treats go a LONG way. Has to be on a schedule for potty time. Needs to be the only dog!

At large dog parks she runs So fast and loves the outdoor life. We would love for her to have that kind of day. We never leave her outside alone. She is a family dog with lots of love to offer. Her recall Is great and treats get any positive behavior.We walk 3 times a day and she catches frisbees in our yard with us. She is great in car. She is not meant to be with kids under 10ish.
