Story
This Gorgeous Big Boy is not only stunning, but a Big Boy with the sweetest heart of Gold. He's just a lovely boy and cuddle bunny. He is however, dog selective - preferring not other Male dogs, he seems to get along with female dogs however. Fernando loves playing Fetch, and is good at it. He loves long walks on the beach (or wherever), and just wants a lovely family/best friend of his own, as he will truly be there for you....He is VERY well House-trained as well If you are looking for a wonderful large pup to be a constant companion, to be there for you, to run and play with, etc, Fernando is your boy! He's still young, doesn't have spastic puppy energy, is neutered, microchipped, wormed and ready for his new home!

SNUGGLE AND CUDDLE CHAMPION IS LOOKING FOR HER NEW HOME You heard it here first:Go ahead—toss me a treat. I’ll snatch it right out of the air like a fuzzy little ninja in a perfect white fur coat. Hi, I’m Mabel.I’m a 8-year-old white German Shepherd with the face of an angel, and a heart that refuses to quit—even after being left behind. You see, my family knew I was at the shelter… and they never came back.I waited. Because I’m loyal like that. It’s in my DNA.But my time ran out—until my rescue stepped in and saved me. I'm now a tri-pawed because my front right leg had a break that my family didn't fix and the shelter didn't tell anyone about. But then my rescue noticed I was limping and it hurt really bad and they took me to the vet. Unfortunately, they couldn't save my leg. But HOLD YOUR HORSES! Don't feel bad for me because it doesn't slow me down. And now, I'm ready for a new family who will look past a missing leg and just see the snazzy, sassy personality I have, and likes to admire my beautiful plus white coat. And when you look into my eyes, you will be mesmerized and never want to leave. I’m about 56 pounds of love and wiggles. My energy? Just right—medium. I’m playful, but I won’t wreck your living room.  I'd just like to sit and cuddle with you, and give you lots of love. I'm very affectionate and in tune with my people. Let’s talk fun facts: I’m dog-friendly—small, large, all sizes of floofy friends welcome. I’m great with kids and love keeping them company. I’m up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, and spayed. I’m the people’s favorite—happy, social, kissy, and always smiling. (Quirky grin and all.) When you ask for my paw? I’ll give it.When you throw a treat? I’ll catch it.When you come home after a long day? I’ll make you forget how hard it was.I’m loyal. I’m goofy. I’m ready. If you’ve got room in your heart and a few treats in your pocket… just say the word. I’ll pack my bags. Apply to adopt or foster me today. Let’s start the rest of our story—with a treat toss and a kiss. ##2467651##

ZOOOOOMMMMIES FROM OUTER SPACE Available for Foster or Adoption Pluto has landed. Earth wasn’t ready. If you’re looking for a calm, reserved companion who quietly observes life from the sidelines… keep scrolling. But if you’re ready for full-blown joy wrapped in a 70 lb shepherd/lab mix with soft eyes and faster-than-light zoomies, then Hi! I’m Pluto. I’m a 1.5 year old, fully neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm negative—and I’m pretty sure I’m your soulmate. Yes, I’m named after a planet (or a cartoon dog, depending on who you ask), and yes, I bring galactic-level good vibes. I’m from another world, but I’ve mastered a few Earthly skills you’ll appreciate: Potty-trained — No surprises on the rug. I’ve got self-respect. Leash pro — I stick right by your side. No tugging, no drama. Toy lover — I just discovered toys and I’m obsessed, but I don’t destroy them. Promise. Dog-friendly — I light up around other pups and would love a buddy to play with. Kid-certified — I love kids and will happily match their energy (and clean up snack crumbs). Cat-friendly-ish — I don’t chase them… I run from them. Those tiny tigers spook me. What really makes me special? I’m extremely social—like, walk-down-the-street-and-make-friends-with-strangers social. I want to say Hi to everyone, wag my tail at every passing dog, and be part of every moment. I don’t just want to be in your life—I want to orbit around you, day and night. I’m ready to bring joy, zoomies, and deep-space cuddles to someone who gets me. I've been trained so I'm a good boy, I'll listen to you. So…Ready to adopt a cosmic-level good boy?Apply now.

Meet Tye – The Comeback King with a Goofy Soul and a Grin You’ll Never ForgetAvailable for Adoption or Foster  Looking for a big-hearted, goofy boy who will make you laugh every single day? That’s me! I’m Tye, and I’ve come a long way to get here. I’m a 6-year-old German Shepherd with a million-dollar smile and a comeback story to match. When I first came into the shelter, I was in rough shape — my eyes were sealed shut from infection, and my ears had been neglected for so long that they needed surgery. But I never gave up. I spent five months in the hospital getting the care I needed, and now? I’m healthy, healed, and full of joy. I’m a big guy with a big appetite and an even bigger heart. I still need a little daily help, mostly with my eyes. They need to be cleaned every day, but I’m very sweet about it. My ears are closed after surgery, so my hearing isn’t perfect - but I’m not deaf. I can still hear things, especially when someone’s saying “dinner” or “walk!” What you’ll notice most about me, though, is how happy I am. I play by tossing my toys in the air, I give my paw when I want love, and I flash my trademark grin just to see you smile back. I’ve got medium energy — I love walks and playtime, but I also know how to chill. I’m good with other dogs, good with tweens and up, and great with people. Brushing, petting, bonding — I live for it. If you’re looking for a dog who makes you laugh, gives you love, and reminds you that joy always finds a way… that’s me. I’ve already survived the hard part. Now I just need someone to help me thrive. I’m looking for my family, and I’m happy to do foster-to-adopt — my rescue will even cover the costs while I’m in foster care. So what do you say? Ready to give a good boy his best chapter yet? Let’s write our story together.— Tye ##2406949##

Zendaya!!!!!!!! Oh sweet soft loving beautiful Zendaya!!!! Zendaya came to us from Coachella animal shelter where she was picked up as a stray after being shot in the shoulder.

She is now ready to find her forever home! We are looking for a family who has the time and energy to give her the best life possible. She is very playful as you will see in this video.

Story
Camper is the sweetest two year old boy. If you want a guard dog - he is not it. He loves everyone and everything. Camper enjoys going on walks, runs and being near people. He currently lives with little kids, a dog, and a cat. He does great with all of them! Camper aims to please and is a big softy who does not like getting scolded. The only reason we are rehoming him is because we are not home near enough for him. He ends up being left alone longer than we would like. Camper needs a fenced in yard because he also loves to chase coyotes if he gets the chance. Please be aware of the amount of shedding this breed does. He needs a good deshedding frequently. Camper would do great living with a family or just someone who will give him plenty of love and attention.

These pups are in Temecula, California too!

Story
Beautiful BLACK BEAUTY  Beauty came to rescue with a bad break in her leg that had to have surgery and is now healthy and walking around like the champ she is! Beauty lives up to her name both in looks and personality. She's beautiful, playful, and has a lot of energy so she will need a couple of good walks and runs. Talk about a balanced individual! A fenced in backyard would be great so she could play ball and run around. Her new potential family would have another dog for her to play with, and no cats - as she thinks it’s fun to chase them, not cause injury but she thinks it’s a game of who is faster.  She would be good for a family with children, as she is gentle and loving and very affectionate.  Got inquiries about Beauty?

Tilly The Sweetheart Tell me another story while I just look at you!  I am Tilly. My start in life wasn’t the best, but I have worked really hard to get over that. I was at the shelter, about to be euthanized, shaking and afraid in my kennel when, all of a sudden, I found myself on my way to a wonderful, gentle lady who told me all is okay and right with the world now. I have spent a couple of months learning that I can trust people, and now—watch out, world—I am outta my shell! I have a lot of energy, I know all my basic commands, and I walk well on a leash! I also enjoy bedtime stories and will listen while you tell them! In case you haven’t noticed my sniffer, I have what they call a double nose. So, just in case you get lost going to the bathroom, I can find you a lot faster because I can smell better than most dogs. Seriously, I swear it’s true! I am good with other dogs. Cats? I have never seen one, so I don’t know! If you have older kids, that’s okay—I just don’t want to knock them over with me always being excited to experience new things. Do you like to hike?Are you a runner?Bigger question—will you endlessly throw the ball for me? If you meet all the criteria, I am yours! ##2298947##
