Story
Bonded pair Junebug & Basil came into Rescue 12/26/24 after spending a month living outside in their fenced yard after their mom was taken away in an ambulance and hospitalized long term. This duo is completely devoted to their person and wants nothing more than to be by their side, getting petting, giving kisses, and endlessly wagging their tails. Junebug is the social butterfly of the two and does wonderfully in any type of setting such as walking busy streets, going into Coffee houses, sitting beside you at restaurants, or even participating in local races and obstacle course events. Basil is more about being on guard and letting you know when things are going on in the yard or passing by the house. They are the perfect pair completely taking care of you and whatever your needs are. Bonded pairs are like adopting one really great dog… they complement each other and keep each other secure and happy making your job as a dog owner so much easier. These girls walk wonderfully on a leash and love a daily walk. They do not pull. They currently live in a large foster home with many other dogs and they enjoy playing with the other dogs, but at the end of the day, they snuggle up with the Foster mom and sleep next to her. Bonded dogs are harder to get adopted… when everybody meets these two, they can’t believe they are still in Rescue, including the vet that does their exams. She said they would be the best Dogs for anybody to adopt. They are the perfect size at 35 pounds each and they love to go for car rides and just be part of whatever you do. Fenced yard required so they do not adventure around. If you would like a fun pair that make you feel like the most loved person ever, contact irondawgs13@gmail.com for adoption application.

Story
Please Welcome Brandy to ARK Charities! Brandy is a 4.5 -to 5 month old female. She is very engaged, loves to snuggle and while she enjoys toys and play, she is not as toy driven as her sister, Mocha. She loves to play with other dogs and has been socialized with all sizes and she really loves to play and engage with people. She is crate trained, up to date, walks well on a leash and has shown good house manners. We believe both are house broken and crate trained, walks well on a leash. Brandy is treat motivated and will be an easy girl to train. She is affectionate and loves snuggles and belly rubs. We rescued Brandy and her sister, Mocha, from a Los Angeles shelter partnering with @pawsforliferescueca and @wingsofrescue_official. We are so grateful for the team effort and appreciate working with kindred spirits to save lives and make a difference. A link to our adoption application can be found on our website or in our bio.

Story
Please Welcome Mocha to ARK Charities! Mocha is a 4-5 month old female who is friendly with other dogs, crate trained, loves people and is showing a lot of fun toy drive. She’s already mastered fetch and is very ball focused. She likes to play with dogs of all sizes, is crate trained and has shown good house manners. This girl loves to work and train- she is one smarty pants. She has a medium to high drive and will thrive with an active family who will engage her sharp mind and strong body to keep her mentally and physically fulfilled. She is one fun pup and loves belly rubs. We’re very grateful for our partnership with @pawsforliferescueca and @wingsofrescue_official for helping us save Mocha and her sister from an overcrowded Los Angeles, CA shelter so they can have a better life.

She enjoys bath time, walks like a dream, and is super easy to groom. She loves to swim!Crosby must have a few stuffed animals at all times (it’s non-negotiable), and she’ll happily entertain herself with a toy or deer antler when crated.She’s truly looking for a family that will shower her with attention and include her in all the fun.

Story
Tater is a spunky, lovable shepherd mix with a striking half-white eye that’s sure to turn heads and melt hearts! This 4-year-old, 42-pound ball of energy is always ready for fun and thrives in an active home where she can run, play, and be her joyful self.Tater has a solid training foundation and is very food-motivated, which makes her a quick learner and a great candidate for continued obedience training. She loves treats, enjoys a good game of chase, and would make an awesome jogging or hiking partner.While she’s sweet and affectionate with those she knows, Tater can be a little nervous around strangers and may need a patient, understanding family to help her feel safe and build trust. She doesn’t like to be cornered by unfamiliar people (who does?!), but once she warms up, she’s a loyal and loving companion.Tater adores kids and is eager to play, though she gets excited and might jump—so a home with older children who can help guide her manners would be ideal.If you’re looking for a fun-loving, loyal companion who’s already halfway to perfect, Tater might be your perfect match. With a little love and leadership, she’s sure to become your new best friend.Tater is located in Houston, Tx and can be transported to most states for $300.00
