Story

Hi, I’m Pancho! I’m a silly, sweet boy who loves spending time with people and other dogs. I enjoy nature walks at a good pace, belly rubs, car rides, and soaking up the sun during my naps. I also like having quiet time in my doggie bed. I love attention and affection, but not in a clingy way. Even though I look like a cuddler, too much physical affection too quickly can overwhelm me. I do best when my humans let me approach first to show I’m ready for cuddles. Life has brought me some big changes recently, and sometimes I feel stressed. I may ask for attention in ways that aren’t ideal, but I never mean harm. With guidance, I’m learning to express myself without nipping and to feel calm and secure. I’ll thrive in a calm home with patient, experienced people who can give me gentle structure and continued training. Please don’t be discouraged by what I’m still learning — what I offer in return is love, loyalty, and a truly special bond. I can’t wait to meet you! If you are interested in meeting Pancho, please download the Adoption Questionnaire, fill it out and email it back to us at info@farescue.org or fax (310) 362-0321. You can also meet this and/or other available dogs at our weekend adoptions. [Pancho is about 3 years old and weighs 16 lbs.] (2504/2509)

Story

Rose is a sweet 9 yr old Havanese Shih Tzu mix. Her previous family used this pretty girl to make puppies for extra cash. When her owner died, she eventually ended up living in a mechanic shop! When we found out about their situation, we immediately sent a volunteer to go and rescue them. Rose is with Rufus, who is possibly her son. Both dogs are very sweet, well behaved and affectionate. Both Rose and Rufus are friendly, and get along well with new people, other dogs and children. Rufus is about 3 yrs old, very sweet, loving and mellow. He gets along well with other dogs, cats and kids. We had him examined by our vet, neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped. Rose is loving senior, about 9 yrs old, and is possibly Rufus' mother. Rose is a Havanese/ Shih Tzu mix. She is healthy, and we have had her spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Rose gets along well with other dogs and children, but is very interested in cats, so should go to a home that is cat free. Rose has some previously untreated skin issues, but is otherwise healthy. Both dogs are small, well behaved and extremely loving. They are easy going and don't have any destructive habits like digging, barking or chewing. They are content to just be around someone. They grew up as part of a family and will easily fit into any home. They are low energy and would be perfect for a retired person or someone who works from home. We're looking for an foster or adopter in the Southern California area. Please complete our adoption application found on dexterfoundation.com If you cannot foster or adopt, can you share their story? We need a foster home asap!

Story

PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION MEET STEFFIE….an adorable, happy, 7 yr old, tan/black, 15 lb, Lhasa Apso mix, who unfortunately found herself homeless when her senior owner could no longer care for her. She was so matted that the groomer needed to shave her 🙁 Owner reported she continuously tried to escape, but she has been very happy here and she stays put. One thing she does like to do is roll the window down while you are driving. She did this in her previous home and ended up jumping out of the car and injuring herself. She is fully recovered — but make sure you have locks on your car windows! Steffie is a character. Her original name was Cheff — but since she doesn’t cook, we changed it! She has a big personality and is extremely playful, loving, kissy and attentive. She loves toys and to fetch (even sometimes brings it back to you) — and kissing is her other favorite pastime! If you don’t want a dog to snuggle up in your bed, Steffie would not be the right girl for you. She likes to be on high places, be the boss of the house and be a happy girl. She will bark if she hears noises (like on the TV) and wants to protect the house! She is OK with other dogs but is possessive of her person, so we believe she would be best as an only dog. On walks (which she LOVES), she can also be protective but when approached slowly, she likes to meet and greet everyone on the street. Her potty training is pretty good — but no guarantees at your house. All in all, Steffie is a girl who would be happy as your one and only — but doesn’t love being left alone. A household where her parents work from home and include her in activities woud be ideal. Older kids (10+) who enjoy a playful dog would be fantastic. This girl just wants to have fun…how about you? Our website is updated daily. Please do not apply for this dog unless your home fits the specified criteria.

CAITLYN & CAMERON

Lhasa Apso Shih Tzu

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION MEET THIS FABULOUS DUO…..and you will fall in love. (respectively) Caitlyn and Cameron are 18/22 lbs, both 2 yrs old, tan/black Lhasa/Shih Tzu and Lhasa X — likely litter mates. When we get dogs like these two, it reminds me why I fell in love with the breed. Not only are they gorgeous, but they are so smart and have so much personality! We were called and told that a Good Samaritan found them huddled in an alley together and was taking them to the Orange County Shelter to locate their owners. Yes, they were a mess. No they didn’t walk on a leash until they came to us, but they are so loving and happy, we are thrilled that they are here. It was difficult getting individual pictures of them because they are always together, on top of each other and/or playing. They even do their business in unison!! They love to cuddle with each other and you — they give lots of kisses and just reek of puppy love! Initially, they were very fearful and reluctant to meet anyone, but not an ounce of aggression. It takes a minute for them to warm up, but it is so understandable. They have only been here a short time and they are already overwhelming their foster with affection and love. As every day passes, they get more and more rambunctious. Definitely need an active family to love these two to life. The ideal home for Caitlyn and Cameron would be one where there are kids over 8 yrs, a yard and dog parents who are able to spend time and train them. They seem to be potty trained, but no guarantees at your house. They have been extremely quiet, but they just recently arrived. They are learning what toys are…all the writer of their profile can say is they are VERY SPECIAL and will only go home together, so please don’t ask us to split them up. Our website is updated daily.

Story

PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION MEET NEW KID ON THE BLOCK….GUMBO!! We named him Gumbo because he’s a very eclectic breed combo, maybe Lhasa or Tibetan Terrier and Pomeranian? He doesn’t shed 😉 He’s only a year old, tri colored with a black mask and 20 lbs. Maybe Tibetan Terrier X? We don’t know, but it doesn’t matter to us. HE IS A SWEETHEART! 100% puppy! He hails from the streets of Compton, where he was rescued before getting hit by a car! Gumbo is an active guy, as any one year old puppy is….but he does settle down and loves to cuddle. On walks, he wants to meet everyone and socialize! After he was neutered and dewclaws were removed, we took him to doggie day care to play with the other pups — and he is having a ball! Reports are he’s getting along with everyone, great eater and just needs to learn some manners! He does love to please and listens!! He was getting the hang of potty training but will need a refresher course after being at daycare! The one thing we have learned about Gumbo is he does not like being alone or separated from the action. He needs a family (kids over 8 would be good, younger he might knock them over!) that will take time to train him and love him to life!! He’s a big kisser and just a very happy go lucky dog. Still learning about toys and what to do with them. He’s a diamond in the rough…scrumptious and a delight. Are you looking for a mascot for your home? He’s waiting. Our website is updated daily.
