Story
Please contact Desiree (lostangelsanimalrescue04@yahoo.com) for more information about this pet.This is Cocoa a stunning 2 - 3 year old liver colored female GSD that is seeking her new person.  She found herself in a shelter and was extremely thin when she came in to rescue. She spend 10 days boarding at a veterinary hospital due to us not having an available foster.  She also completed a board and train program.  Once she was placed with her foster it was very apparent that there was an underlying health issue that had caused her extreme weight loss and was soon diagnosed as an EPI dog. Good news is it's easily managed with an enzyme powder sprinkled on each meal.  She has already gone from 50.8 lbs to 80 lbs in just 5 weeks. Cocoa is very intelligent and eager to please. She would do best with an experienced handler, no kids and an only pet.  She can be selective of people and seems to do best with females. Her training with Kyser K9 is life long and a new owner will be able to work with them and have access to training sessions. For more information, please email lostangelsanimalrescue04@yahoo.com or submit an online application at www.lostangelsanimalrescue.org to pursue an adoption.  Adoption Donation: $300.00 October 2, 2025, 9:13 pm

Story
Dyna came to us as we took her in when she was about 5 months old! A family of three kiddos, two other dogs and two cats, took no time to become family. She is now 3.5 years old! Still full of lots of energy and a fenced in backyard to run often to get her energy out is a MUST! She is a great listener but you must stay on her commands at all times. Loves to cuddle! Vocal will talk to you if you ask her something ! Doesn’t really bark unless something unusual is going on to make sure to let you know! Once she learns her boundaries in the yard she is very good at staying within those boundaries. Within the last year been changes in the home and a move into an apartment which has left her very sad to not be outside where she loves to relax and missing a backyard to run and play in! FENCED IN YARD is a must! Lots of LOVE to give is a must! Small rehoming fee just to make sure she is going to a good home, may be waived if I find the right family.

Meet Addison — a gentle spirit with a heart full of love  At just 1.5–2 years old, Addison has already shown incredible resilience. After undergoing double FHO surgery, she’s healed beautifully and now loves to run, play, and especially splash around in the water! This sweet girl is gentle, affectionate, and full of quiet joy. Though she can be shy at first, once she feels safe and loved, her warm, trusting nature shines through.  Addison’s Perfect Match: A calm home with a fully fenced yard where she can play and explore safely. Another friendly dog to keep her company—she truly blossoms around canine friends! A family that’s patient and kind, ready to nurture her confidence and celebrate her gentle soul. Kid- and cat-approved! Addison’s loving personality makes her a wonderful fit for all kinds of families.  Her Journey & Progress: Addison is still learning to build confidence on a leash but feels happiest in a secure yard. She’s fantastic with other dogs and especially adores her foster family’s 13-year-old daughter, who helps her with baths and nail trims. With time and trust, Addison transforms into a loyal, cuddly, and deeply affectionate companion.  Addison is fully vetted, healthy, and ready to meet her forever family. If you’re looking for a kindhearted, playful, and endlessly loving best friend, Addison is waiting to steal your heart!  ##1993669##

Denya is a beautiful 10 week old German shepherd girl who is officially on the hunt for her forever home, and trust us, she is the life of the party. She is truly the cutest little thing with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She has been doing amazing with her foster family. Denya is already sleeping through the night, happily playing with her foster dog brothers, and soaking up all the love around her. She’s playful, curious, and in that adorable puppy stage where everything is an adventure, especially her favorite things: playing and chewing! This smart girl is already learning potty training and has been doing so well, she’s even starting to learn how to ring the doorbell when she needs to go outside. Denya is eager to learn, eager to please, and so full of love. She would make the perfect addition to any family, bringing joy, laughter, puppy kisses, and the best cuddles you could ask for.

Story
PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING!   Hi friends, I’m Bentley. I’m a 4-year-old German Shepherd with a big heart, big feelings, and an even bigger love for my people. I’m truly the sweetest boy. I bond deeply with my humans and love being close to my friends. When people leave, I do get a little sad because I love very hard. Belly rubs, playtime, and quality time are my absolute favorites, and I’ll happily soak up all the love you’re willing to give. I’m a very good listener and already know all my commands like sit, down, stay, and leave it. Showing off my smarts is one of my talents. I’m also crate trained, potty trained, and house trained, so I already know how to be a polite house guest. I do great with big dogs, small dogs, and older kids (15+). I can forget just how big I am when I get excited, so a home without small children would be best. I would love a dog sibling to keep me company and help me burn off some energy. I’m playful, energetic, and always ready to have fun. I’d thrive in a home with a yard where I can run and play, and I really need a family that’s around most of the day. I have some abandonment anxiety, so having someone home often would mean the world to me. I’m still working on a few things. Sometimes I pull on the leash, jump when I get overly excited, and I can be a little protective of my toys. With consistency, patience, and love, I know I’ll keep improving. A quick note from my foster: I have early-stage hip dysplasia. I’m on joint supplements and it doesn’t slow me down, but it’s something my future family should be aware of. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, playful best friend who will bond deeply and adore you endlessly, I might just be your perfect match. Love, Bentley Adoption FEE: $400 which includes his neuter, microchip, and vaccines. It is also a donation to go directly back to us to help us continue to rescue more animals.
