Story
Ruger has been a beloved pet to my mother Marsha Stazer for the past 4 years. She rescued him from a shelter in Apple Valley, Ca. Unfortunately Marsha (my mom) had an accident and then a stroke and was hospitalized for two weeks, then went to a skilled nursing facility and has now moved to an assisted living facility. The facility cannot house large dogs. We have tried to find a home for him for the last 6 weeks with no success. It is really important to my mom that he go to a good home, she is very stressed over not being able to keep him and is very worried about his future. He is a very sweet dog, who gets along with some dogs but not all. I think he is a little bit of an alpha male.

Story
Southpaw Rescue was contacted by a Good Samaritan after a video of a trembling dog in the San Bernardino Shelter went viral. Riley had been wondering a bad neighborhood for two months without being caught. Once in the shelter, Riley shut down and found himself on the euthanasia list within 72 hours. Southpaw Rescue was able to get to Riley and pull him within 15 min. of his cut off date for euthanasia. Like so many dogs, as soon as we pulled Riley, we realized he was one of the sweetest dogs you could meet. He lives for pleasing his foster mom. Riley is great with all the other dogs in the home, both big and small. He doesn't pull at all on the leash and enjoys hiking. Riley is learning his basic commands and has fallen into the home routine quickly. He would be good in a home with children, other dogs or as a single dog. He craves human affection and attention. Riley is a protector. When walking, he is constantly alert to his surroundings. If there is an unusual noise outside at night, he will alert you. If you are looking for an insanely loyal dog, look no further. https://www.southpawrescue.com/adoption-application

Chase is a 3 yr old German Shepard I couldn’t let the shelter euthanize . He is a beautiful happy dog that just needs a chance. All he wants is love, walks, a dog bed to sleep on and a loving owner. He would do best in a female dog or no dog home. He would love to meet anyone interested in loving him. Please contact me for any details.

Story
Stella's family sadly needed to rehome her back in October 2022 and she was running out of time. Bruce G. Krider with The Puppy Coalition kindly came and saved her and has been looking for a long term foster or a forever home. Stella has been through so much since October. She lost the only family she knew, she’s been to a couple short term fosters just to keep her safe and now she just had surgery for bloat and is recovering. Her current foster dad unfortunately cannot foster her past March 18 so she needs something soon. Stella is almost 9 years old, weighs 82 lbs., is spayed and house trained. She needs to be the ONLY animal in the house. Stella is a very sweet girl and loves people. She is great on a leash and loves her walks but also enjoys hanging out on the couch. She also knows basic commands and even speak. If you are experienced with her breed and are interested in fostering or adopting this beautiful girl please contact Bruce at bruce@thepuppycoalition.org
