Story

This sweet girl’s journey began on November 15, 2025, when a good Samaritan noticed her roaming the streets of her neighborhood. Frightened and unsure, she would not allow anyone to get close. Hoping she belonged nearby, the good Samaritan followed her, trying to lead her back home. When she asked a neighbor if the dog was theirs, she was met with a heartbreaking response: they had witnessed a car drive by and throw the dog out of the window. Despite her fear, she continued returning to the same area and was repeatedly seen on Ring camera footage. Over time, she began seeking refuge on a recliner chair on a front porch. After more than two weeks surviving on the streets, she was humanely trapped and brought indoors. Once safe, her true personality began to shine. She has proven to be incredibly gentle and affectionate, showing zero signs of aggression and allowing handling with ease. Not long after, it became clear she was pregnant, likely either just before or shortly after being abandoned. Even while navigating fear, hunger, and uncertainty, she carried on. Now lovingly named Ember, she is being fostered by the good Samaritan’s daughter, who has opened her home to give Ember the stability and care she deserves (and also nicknamed her Chicka). They reached out to our rescue for additional support, and we were more than happy to step in to ensure Ember has everything she needs. Despite being discarded at her most vulnerable, Ember remains affectionate, trusting, and incredibly kind. She chose to trust again when given the chance, and her resilience is nothing short of remarkable. We named her Ember because this sweet mama was wandering like a glowing ember: small but strong, searching for a safe place to land. Even after being abandoned, her spark never went out. If interested in giving her a loving home, please apply: saveabowwow.com/rescue/adoption-form Once a home has been found and she is pending adoption, we will update this post to reflect this information.

Chino Hills, CA

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet James Bond — a fast, smart, and adventurous pup who truly lives up to his iconic name! This clever guy loves exploring the world, going on walks, and staying active with his favorite people by his side. James Bond gets along well with other dogs and enjoys having canine companions to share in the fun. He’s a great adventure buddy for someone who’s ready to get outside and move. While he’s confident in familiar settings, he can be a bit nervous when meeting new people, so a calm, patient approach helps him feel safe and secure. Because of this, James Bond would do best in a home with older children who can respect his space and help him build confidence at his own pace. If you’re looking for a loyal, intelligent companion who’s ready to explore the world with you, James Bond is ready for his next mission — a forever home.
