Story
Leo the Lion is a loveable 2 year old Pomeranian mix. He was surrendered by his former owners and was fortunate enough to find his way on to The Rescue Train. He is a sweet, funny dog that likes to cuddle, going on long walks and carrying around his favorite Nylabone. Although Leo is hearing impaired, he is very smart. He was recently diagnosed with epilepsy and his seizures are being controlled with phenobarbital. His foster took lessons with a trainer that specializes in deaf dogs so an adopter experienced with deaf/special needs dogs is a plus. He walks well on leash and is very good at maintaining eye contact so he knows when to safely cross the street. He doesn't bark very often, but he does bark very loudly so an apartment would not suit him. He interacts well with other dogs but doesn't necessarily initiate play and sometimes just likes to just watch from the sidelines. His adopter will be required to take a minimum of 2 lessons with his trainer, which are included in his adoption donation. --- If you are interested in adopting LEO THE LION please fill out our adoption application by clicking this LINK.

Story
Rocco is an adorable Pomeranian mix, about 8 months old. He was rescued from a living situation where he was not cared for properly. He is very sweet and full of puppy energy so would do well in an active home and another playful dog. We do not know how he would be with cats. He is good with other dogs, kids and adults. We are working with him on house training. Rocco would be best suited in a home with a backyard, no apartments or condos. Rocco is up to date on vaccines, neutered and microchipped. If you are interested in him please go to our website: www.amrdog.org and complete the application. LOCAL AREA ADOPTION ONLY

Story
Meet Our Little Enigma: Brun 6 years old. 2 years in limbo. Surrendered for biting. Passed from shelter to rescue. He came to us matted, guarded, growling at the world. But we listened—and he softened. Today, his bark is mostly chatter. His past? Respected, but behind him. He’s playful, dog-friendly, and learning to love again. Brun is currently living with a trainer who will help transition him into his next home—foster or forever. He’s not for beginners or homes with small children. But for the right person? He’ll give you his whole heart. Give him structure. He’ll give you his trust. Adoption Fee: $400 Includes spay, dental, bloodwork, vaccines, and microchip.May 2, 2025, 5:53 pm

Story
Meet Randy 8 years old • Patella surgery + fresh dental Randy was found as a stray and brought to the Baldwin Park shelter — but now he’s safe, healed, and officially ready for adoption. He’s recovered beautifully from his patella surgery and dental work, and he’s feeling better than ever. Randy has a bit of “Pom-a-tude” (in the best way) and would do best as the only dog in an adult-only home where he can be the center of attention. He enjoys short walks, is working on his potty manners, and will thrive with someone who appreciates a small dog with a big personality. Adoption Fee: $400 Includes surgery, dental, vaccinations, and microchip.May 2, 2025, 5:53 pm

Tasha (black and tan) and Silver (silver coat) are 7-year-old spayed sisters who are inseparable and looking for a forever home together. Tasha is a gentle, reserved soul who needs a little time to warm up, but her sweetness shines once she feels safe. Silver is more independent and energetic, with a playful spirit and a minor tracheal sensitivity that doesn’t slow her down. Both are healthy, get along well with other dogs and cats, and are mostly housebroken (Silver will also use pee pads). These girls bring the perfect balance of calm and joy and are ready to share their love with the right family. Being placed as a bonded pair. ADOPTION FEE $600.00December 1, 2024, 10:48 am

Story
Meet Gingie Bella, 3-year-old female SPECIAL NEEDS DOG Gingie is a lovable dog with a big personality. She came to us with struvite bladder stones, typically caused by UTIs and urease-producing bacteria. Despite months of traditional antibiotics and special vet-prescribed foods, the stones didn’t dissolve. We’ve since switched her to a low-phosphorus diet from 'My Perfect Pet' and added apple cider vinegar to her regimen. Currently, Gingie Bella is on the path to recovery and will not be available for adoption until her treatment is complete. In the meantime, donations are welcome if you’d like to help with her ongoing medical costs. Gingie Bella is potty trained, walks well on a leash, and gets along with other dogs. She’s a bit of a “shopper,” so she’ll need supervision to ensure she doesn’t pick up and eat things she shouldn’t. Please email us if you are interested in knowing more about this darling girl.

Meet Sienna 2 years old • 12 lbs Sienna was surrendered when her family lost their home, but she hasn’t lost her spirit. Despite having a condition called megaesophagus, she’s playful, bright, and eager to learn. Her care is simple: she just needs three small meals a day in an upright position (we’ll guide you on how). If you have the heart and time to support her gentle medical needs, Sienna will give back tenfold. She’s loyal, loving, and ready to be your little shadow.

Adopting a German Spitz

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an German Spitz - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

You can adopt a German Spitz from a shelter at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting a German Spitz from a shelter is typically $50 to $350, while smaller rescues may charge higher adoption fees. This fee often includes an initial exam, vaccines, preventatives, microchipping, and spay/neuter. 

In contrast, buying a German Spitz from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding and size, they can cost $1,500 to $3,500.

The easiest way to adopt a German Spitz is through a rescue that specializes in German Spitzes or Spitz breeds in general. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet, which will show you all the available German Spitzes in your search radius.
