Story
I’m Rufus. I’ve Been Let Down Twice. I’m Still Showing Up. I’m 2 years old. A big German Shepherd, furry, strong, and has a heart that keeps choosing people even when it hasn’t worked out before. I was adopted. Then I ended up back as a stray.It happened again. The second time, I came in wearing a shock collar that was too tight. It had to be cut off. I had open wounds around my neck. Even then, I stayed kind. The shelter staff loved me. They saw who I was under everything. They just didn’t have the resources to help me the way I needed. Then things almost went in the wrong direction again. Plans that weren’t right for me. That’s when people stepped in and said no, not this dog, not again. Now I’m safe. I’m getting the care I need. I’m healing. Here’s what you should know about me. I love people. I’m friendly. I’m the kind of dog who wants to be near you and be part of your life. I’ve done well with other dogs. I’ve lived in a home before. I know what it means to be with someone. And I’m loyal. Deeply. I’m a big dog, so I’ll need someone comfortable with my size. But I’m not difficult. I just need someone steady. Someone who means it. Because I do. I’m not looking to bounce around again. I’m looking for the place where I finally stay. If you’ve been waiting for a dog who will give you everything he has, I’m already that dog. ##2715474##

Story
I’m Raspberry. I’m still in California, waiting for my chance to come home. I spent most of my life in a shelter, and eventually I was placed on the euthanasia list. Thankfully, I was saved before it was too late. Now I’m safe, but I’m still waiting. Waiting for someone to see me, choose me, and give me the life I’ve never really had. I’m a beautiful girl who has spent far too long in a kennel. I’m ready for a home, a family, and a fresh start. ##2810690##

Story
Hi, I’m Tye! I’m a 6-year-old German Shepherd currently in California, and after everything I’ve experienced, I’m ready for the part of my life that’s simply about being loved. I came into rescue needing significant care for my eyes and ears, and my rescue made sure I received the treatment I needed. My eyes still need to be cleaned daily, and I’m incredibly patient and sweet while they’re cared for. My ears are closed from previous surgery, so my hearing isn’t perfect, but I can still hear. Especially my favorite words. What you’ll notice most about me is my personality. I’m friendly, sweet, goofy, and full of love. I enjoy walks, toys, attention, and being around my people. I’ll even give you my paw when I want some extra love, and my trademark grin is pretty hard to resist.  I’ve already made an incredible comeback. Now I’m ready to leave the hard part behind and find a family who wants a loving, happy German Shepherd to share their life with. I’m ready to travel from California when my forever family finds me.   ##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. This poor Sweet Love Bug had a significant limp for quite a while on the right shoulder. The great news is that with lots of love and Rehabilitation with her foster family Zendaya now enjoys running, playing and romping with her friends on a 5 acre ranch. 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. She is also quite smitten with a kiddy swimming pool and loves a soft bed with toys indoors. Call Piper's Path Rescue 760-445-0973

Lobo 's Story Meet our extremely sweet and polite Lobo. Not only is he stunning on the outside but he's an absolute sweetheart on the inside. Those baby blue eyes will catch your heart but his gentle kind nature will capture your soul. Lobo has shown himself to be friendly and polite to everybody he meets including showing his best behavior around other canine companions. In his foster home he has learned the luxuries of life to include a soft blanket on a couch with friends. He has been successfully introduced to cats and the Foster Family feels he has been around cats before. He offers all of the very best of himself. Polite and mindful. He comes when he calls and offers many signs that he has a history of good training. We Believe Lobo would just love a home with another sweet Canine Companion along with a human family who will show him all of the wonderful things in life to include walks, adventures and car rides. He has been found to be quite the gentleman and garners much attention at the local Home Depot and Tractor Supply! If you feel that you might be interested to offer this sweetheart a forever home where he will never find himself out on the streets again, please inquire and remember, please include your phone number as often our email replies can go into your junk or spam mail. When you inquire please feel free to share a little bit about yourself and what you are looking for in a new companion. We will help you determine if Lobo could be a good fit for you

Story
Prince is a stunning 2 year old German Shepherd. He indeed is a very, very special soul. After finding himself surviving in the Borrego Desert, he comes to us with the most forgiving and gentle personality you could imagine. Forgiveness really should be his name. So polite, so kind, calm and gentle. He asks permission for every step he takes. Still learning to trust and understand what is expected of him. Prince is proud and beautiful, although shy and reserved at the same time. After spending 2 months with us, we now see his beautiful personality inside. Greeting us with puppy playhouse in the morning and a couple happy spins, he is ready for the day. He gets along well with other dogs but does prefer the company of female dogs more. He is fine as the only dog as well, he really just wants his forever companion. Somebody who is kind and soft in their movements to give him a chance to show himself to you. Prince walks very politely on a leash and comes when we call him. He has been nothing but an absolute pleasure and we are so very happy to be able to start looking for his new forever home.

Story
Hi, I'm Fireball! If your idea of a perfect day includes hiking a new trail, going for a run, hopping on your bike, or exploring the outdoors, I think we just became best friends. I'm a Malinois mix, which means I've got the brains, the athleticism, and the drive to be an incredible adventure partner. I wasn't built to spend my life lying around, I was built to do life with my person. Give me a job, a challenge, or a trail to explore, and I'm one happy guy. I'm smart, eager to learn, and professionally trained in the basics. I'm fully vetted, house-trained, and every adopter receives a free training session to help us start off strong together. Because I bond deeply with my people, I'd do best as the only dog in the home. I'd also prefer an active home with older kids who can match my enthusiasm for life. After we've burned off some energy? I'll happily relax by your side, ready for our next adventure together. I'm not the dog for everyone. But if you're looking for a loyal partner who's always ready to say "Let's go," I might just be the best decision you'll ever make. Foster-to-adopt is available, and all food and medical expenses are covered during fostering. ##2257160##

Hi, I’m Tiger! I’m the perfect mix of sweet, friendly, and ready-for-anything energy. I’m a young guy who loves staying active, and I’m looking for a family who wants a dog to actually do life with. Walks, exploring, playtime, adventures. I’m ready to go!  Are you the active family I’ve been waiting for? I’d love people who will give me plenty of opportunities to move, learn, have fun, and then enjoy being part of the family at the end of the day. I’m currently in California, but I’m ready for my next adventure to take me home. If you’re looking for a sweet, energetic boy who’s ready to experience everything life has to offer, I might be your Tiger! ##2313590##

Hi, I’m Toothless! I’m a young Mastiff/Belgian Malinois mix with a sweet personality, a big personality, and plenty of energy to keep life interesting.

I’m crate trained, potty trained, and already know some basic commands, giving me a great foundation to keep learning. I’m currently in California and ready to travel to my forever home. I’m looking for people who will give me the exercise, structure, and guidance a smart, energetic young dog like me needs. Give me that, and I’ll bring plenty of fun, companionship, and personality into your life. I’m ready for a family who sees all my potential and wants to help me become the incredible dog I’m meant to be. If that sounds like your kind of dog, come and meet me.
