Daisy Ann is an absolute gem. She’s house trained, crate trained, walks beautifully on leash, knows her basic commands, and is more than ready to find her forever home — or a foster who can help her while she waits. Her prior foster mom says, “Daisy Ann is a beautiful dog. She’s protective, loyal, and absolutely adores her adult humans. She loves being near them, going on walks, and playing with toys.”At around 4 years old and 79 pounds, Daisy is a happy, bright, and food-motivated girl. She does well with calm dogs but is a bit shy and needs help building confidence — this is where her person comes in. She’s looking for a strong, active leader who will continue the great progress she’s made and show her she’s safe and loved.Daisy isn’t a fan of cats and would do best in a home with respectful kids over 10. If you’re ready to foster or adopt and help this sweet girl truly shine, please fill out an application today.October 2, 2025, 6:20 pm

Story

Sirius is an athletic pup with a heart full of love and loyalty. A German Shepherd mix weighing in at about 70 lbs, he was rescued from the streets of Perris, CA, alongside his mom and 7 siblings. Despite his rough start, Sirius has adapted beautifully in his foster home and is now ready to find his forever family.This handsome boy lives to play ball — seriously, he could chase and catch it all day if you let him! He's a natural athlete and a superstar fetch player. Sirius is also leash-trained, crate-trained, knows his basic commands, and responds quickly when called — making him an ideal companion for active individuals or families.Out and about, Sirius is social, friendly and outgoing, happily meeting new dogs and people. At home, he shows a protective side — a common trait in shepherd mixes — and he’ll need continued guidance to help him understand that his humans are the pack leaders and he doesn’t need to take on that role. With consistent boundaries, structure, and confidence-building, Sirus will thrive.If you're looking for a smart, energetic, and devoted dog to join your adventures and your heart, Sirius might just be the one.November 29, 2025, 1:13 pm

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

Kylie was found on the streets of Ontario protecting her sister Kendal. We brought her to our home so they would not be killed at the shelter. Kylie is so very sweet and is so proud of being the best sitter she can be. She is very receptive to training and loves to play with toys as much as she can. She has dominant behaviors which may be from litter syndrome with her sister so may do best with male dogs or on her own if she gets the time and commitment she needs. I am willing to work with her adopter to help with medical costs if needed as she will need up to date vaccines. Please help us find Kylie a second chance at life as soon as possible.
