Story
Leyna is crate trained and potty trained. She does well in the car, walks fairly well on leash, and gets along great with other dogs. She loves kids. She has met cats and done fine but has never lived with them. When first meeting new people, Leyna can be a bit timid, but she has improved a lot with continued exposure and gains confidence once she warms up. She would thrive in a home with another large dog to play with and would do best on a large property or ranch style home where she has plenty of space to run, play, and stretch her legs or someone very active. If you apply to adopt the listing may show a different name, but this is for Leyna

Story
Text or email only approved for same-day adoption. Please do not reach out unless you are seriously interested and ready to commit to adopting. Hello, my name is Rex. I am a retired police dog and unfortunately, I was brought to the rescue from Texas because tragedy struck my Previous Owner. My previous owner was killed in a tragic vehicle accident and the family through their grief and unable to cope with their loss and my anxiety, decided to drive me to California and surrender me to a rescue that my Former Owner knew and trusted. I didn’t settle into the rescue easily because so much happened in such a short amount of time I didn’t know what was going on the only family I knew outside of my owner was leaving me with a stranger. I have never met far from anything that smelled familiar and I was terrified. It Took me a while to settle into the rescue because nothing smelled familiar, but it was a lot easier than expected because it was a home environment instead of an outdoor kennel with barely enough room to move around. I still sleep in a bed or on the floor. I’m always given the choice. I have free roam of the house and I’m a very good boy. I let you know when I have to go potty, I love long walks. I love long hikes and I love just exploring the backyard. I know a lot of tricks and once I get to know you, I will become very protective of you if you show fear with anyone who approaches you, but I wait for your command before engaging with anyone or anything. I still have anxiety being left alone for long periods of time so another companion is ideal, but not mandatory, overtime with patience and understanding I will feel safe to submit to someone new. my rescuer was able to reach me and now I am learning to be more open with new people but it is her dream to find me a forever home with someone who knows my breed well and knows how stubborn we can be or someone who is either retired military or law-enforcement that could remind me of my Former Owner. I still have many years and lots of love to give. I just need someone willing to take a chance on me and if you think that person may be, you feel free to text or email my rescuer to set up a day for us to meet my next home must be my last in fear that I will shut down completely, and never overcome my anxiety and fear of abandonment so please please please be 100% ready to commit to me and I promise if you give me time I will show you how loyal, loving and dedicated I can be to you and your family like I was with my owner until death tore us apart. I look forward to hearing from you!

Story
Jacob is a three legged dog that has fully recovered from his surgery and has adjusted nicely. Here is some of the shelter’s description of what he went through: On 10/28/24 this “stray” showed up at the shelter. Jacob was BROKEN, he had many abrasions on his front left leg which he couldn’t put weight on. To complicate things they found out later with radiographs that not only was the front left leg useless with a brachial plexus avulsion (BFA) but his right HIND leg had an old right femoral head fracture. Not only did Jacob need an amputation on his front left leg, but he would require FHO surgery on his right rear leg (it was an old injury). Jacob SUFFERED so much and yet he has always remained a sweet pup. On 11/23 a MIRACLE happened for nice dog Jacob. A private donor paid for an outside veterinary surgeon and have the amputation and the FHO surgery. Link to our online application https://form.jotform.com/LAPETSALIVE/dog-adoption-application
