Story
Everyone welcome Ambrose!!  Ambrose is a male, 16-week-old (DOB 6/8/25) Terrier/Chihuahua/Yorkie/Pug (?) mix who is one of Momma Rosalie’s puppies.  He’s full of puppy energy and affection, always ready to romp and cuddle. All the puppies are playful, loving and enjoy toys.  Every puppy is delightful and does all things normal puppies do. They all get along well with other dogs and all of them will be great family pets.  All puppies require consistent socialization and training as they develop and Ambrose is no exception.  A home with another well-rounded dog would definitely be beneficial. He has been vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped.  He will be neutered when age appropriate so a Neuter deposit may be required.  If interested in meeting or adopting Abmrose, please go to www.LOLR.org and fill out an adoption application.  ##2425535##

Story
Hiya - I am Ollie and it may sound a bit conceited, but everyone loves me. Really! Just look at my cute little face! I look like a mini cattle dog and was found as a stray - no one came to claim me. I am around 9 yrs old, weigh 18 pounds and am just a good boy: good on the leash, good with other dogs. I can't be neutered due to medical reasons, but I am good with potty rules ( I will let you know when I need to go by walking to the door). I really want a forever home. If you choose me, I promise I will love you forever. I was rescued in Palmdale and am currently in Orange County.January 5, 2026, 5:34 pm

He’s friendly, loves to play, and gets along well with everyone, including other dogs and cats. Interested in Adopting Grady?

Story
Meet Skyler (aka “Sky”) 1.5 years old | 13.6 lbs | Spayed | Jack Russell Terrier mix Sky is a bright, athletic, affectionate little terrier who is ready to take on the world — she just needs someone to show her how. She is adventurous, confident, clever, playful, food-motivated, and full of joyful young dog energy. Sky is the kind of dog who wants to do things — run, learn, play, train, explore — and then crash for a well-earned nap. Personality & Energy Sky is high energy in the best way: Loves fetch, squeaky toys, bully sticks, and training games Enjoys food puzzles and Kongs Can go for walks, play, and train for long stretches Her favorite thing is when you sit on the floor and play with her She’s also very sweet and affectionate — and when you rub her face and ears, her foster says her eyes just melt. Daily Life & Training Sleeps in a crate in the living room at night Crate trained for about 4 hours at a time Potty training is in progress and coming along well — she has an excellent foster helping her learn good habits as they both mesh their schedules together. During the day: play, naps, chew time, training, repeat When left alone, she should be crated for safety and good habits Sky is currently working on: Basic commands: sit, stay, come, wait, drop it, go potty, and ok (release word) Learning how to settle and regulate her excitement Walks & Outside Walks using a martingale + harness for security and leash manners training A CBD treat before walks has really helped her relax and enjoy the walk itself She loves to sniff and explore Still learning leash manners and calm greetings She doesn’t bark on walks and is generally more excited than worried about the world. Social Life Likes women more at first, but warms up to men with treats and a little patience With dogs: wants to play and engage, but is still learning calm, polite social skills Would do best with a submissive or easygoing dog or as an only dog with lots of activities to expend her energy Not a good match for cats (This is assumed as her energy is a lot) Best with teens or older kids — she can be mouthy and bouncy when excited Sensitivities & Quirks Loud noises (like fireworks) are scary — she hides and seeks comfort When stressed, she likes face pets and ear massages She will try to squeeze under fences if the opportunity presents and chases squirrels and flying bugs, a secure yard is a must Grooming, Food, & Car Rides well crated in the car (have not had her out of crate in car) Tolerates baths but isn’t a fan yet; doesn’t like the dryer (let’s be honest what dog does) Eats from activity bowls/mats, 3 meals a day (N&D Lamb Pumpkin) Health No medical issues Her Ideal Home Sky will thrive in: An active home With a secure, well-fenced yard No small kids Someone who enjoys training, walks, and play and has the time for these things A home that understands young, smart, energetic terriers The Right Match Sky is smart and athletic and will be amazing for someone who wants to train, engage, and build a real partnership. It’s clear she was not given the time and training she deserved as a young puppy. She learns, that is clear, so she wasn’t taught. She has all the raw material to become a fantastic companion — she just needs guidance, structure, and consistency. Interested parties, please email stacy@k9spirit.org Application is on our website www.k9spirit.org or Stacy can email it to you. Adoption process: Application, contact if a good fit on paper, phone interview, home safety check and meet and greet. Sky is fostered in HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA and can be adopted within Orange and neighboring counties.

Story
While available for adoption we are looing for a forever guardian. Please contact us for details about what this status entails. Toto has not had an easy life. He was rescued from a neglectful situation and has endured more hardships that any pet should. It has left Toto scared both physically and emotionally. Currently in foster care, he is receiving training and has been rebuilding trust in humans, restoring his confidence, and learning that the world can in fact be a loving place. He will take about 2-3 days to gain the trust of a new foster, but once he has done that, you will find that Toto is playful, smart, sweet, and affectionate. He is best in a home with no children or other pets.
