Story
Hi I'm Monk. What a catch...at least that's what everyone says :) I'm approximately 7 years old and I weigh 30 lbs. I am great with dogs, house broken, and crate trained. I love walks and napping on cozy stuff I can't wait to meet you! *please note All of our dogs are in private foster homes. Once you fill out an application it will be screened by our volunteer adoption team. From there, if your application looks like a good fit for the particular dog, it will be sent to the foster where you can ask all the questions you would like and schedule a meet and greet. We do not transport our dogs. If you apply from out of state we do request you come to Los Angeles to meet us and fly home in cabin or drive. www.apurposefulrescue.org

Story
If you are interested, please email the completed Questionnaire to swood-levin@burbankca.gov Raven is a German Short Haired Pointer. Her energy is a “10”! She checks all of the boxes of her breed type. She bonds quickly to people, likes children of all ages (although she is powerful, which may not be safe for younger ones) She’s friendly and can be submissive with people and other dogs. She really enjoys socializing. She’s cooperative during grooming time and has not shown any negative food reactivity. She’s been living in a foster home, and they report that her indoor manners are good. She is housebroken, doesn’t jump on beds/furniture or scratch doors. She is smart and eager to please although her unbridled energy and excitement requires patience. Raven is an intense hunter. She hunts all creatures, large and small, becoming EXTREMELY focused, making it difficult to distract her. A home with cats would be a problem. Raven craves affection. She has separation anxiety and has been fortunate that her foster parents are retired and are at home with her a lot. She was prescribed medication for her separation anxiety, but is was not helpful, so she will need to go to a home where she is not left alone for long periods of time and the adopter is understanding of this condition. A home with other dogs could resolve this issue a bit. Raven has fireworks sensitivity as most dogs do. She loves to play ball and take long, daily, walks. This beautiful girl is an elite athlete, requiring plenty of exercise. She would do well with some who runs or hikes daily and has the patience needed for her special type of breed. Please understand, because she has been in a foster home for quite a while now, we are fortunate enough to know and understand Raven’s quirks and needs and because our goal is to get her into a permanent home, potential adopters will have to be active, tolerant/patient, experienced and loving of this breed.

Story
Meet the sweet and adorable Roxie. She is an 8 month old German Shorthair Pointer mix who weighs 38lbs. Roxie knows how to have a good time and she’s looking for a family to share in the fun. She loves her toys but would be happy to share them with you. She will chase balls as long as you are wiling to toss them. Roxie walks well on a leash and would enjoy taking nice long walks or hikes. She is crate trained and would not mind sharing her home with another dog. Roxie is well behaved and will be a wonderful addition for a family who has time to spend with her. Apply today if you’d like to meet this sweet girl. If you are not located near our rescue or if the drive is a problem for you, please still apply, as we bring animals out to as far as San Diego in order to bring them to their forever homes. Currently, we are driving animals far out on an as-needed basis! If an animal is posted, they are VERY likely available. Please fill out an adoption app to get the best chance at being considered rather than contacting directly. If you are interested in adopting and think you can provide a great home for this pet, please complete an online application so that we can better assess if this pet is a good match for you and your family. Once that is complete and we've approved your application, we can set up a time for you to meet your potential companion for life! ADOPTION APPLICATION: www.vida4animals.org/adoption-application/ More info on our rescue & adoption process: www.vida4animals.org For more information on this pet, please see the contact information in the box below (right). For more beautiful photos of these dogs, check out our social media pages: www.instagram.com/VIDArescue www.facebook.com/VIDArescue Adopt Responsibly. Thank you for choosing Rescue!
