Story
Hi, Im Pluto! I guess you could say I picked my own rescue. One day, while Luis was working in Mecca, I walked right up to him and asked for help. Luckily, he listened! I was microchipped, so Desert Paws Sanctuary contacted my registered owner. They were told I had been given away, but no one knew to whom. Thankfully, that meant I could stay with DPS and start my journey to finding a forever home. Im a young, playful guy who loves having fun and gets along great with other dogs. Now all I need is a family of my own. If youre looking for a sweet, friendly companion who is always ready for an adventure, I might be your perfect match. Apply today and lets start our happily ever after! Love,Pluto Please visit our website desertpawssanctuary.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

Story
Hi, I'm Lily! I was one of six puppies born after my mom, Lyndsey, was rescued off the streets of Coachella. Thanks to a kind person who took her in and the rescue that helped our family, I've had the chance to grow up safe, healthy, and surrounded by love. Everyone says I'm especially smart, and I have to admit, I love learning! I'm curious, confident, and always ready to explore something new. Every day I'm becoming more outgoing, and I love playing with other dogs, chasing toys, and having fun with my siblings. I'm still just a puppy, so I'll be spayed when I'm old enough, but until then I'm busy learning good manners and getting ready to become someone's best friend. If you're looking for a bright, playful puppy with lots of love to give, I might just be your perfect match!

Story
Hi, I'm Enzo! I'm one lucky little puppy. My mom was rescued just in time after living as a stray in Coachella. Not long after she found safety, she gave birth to me and my five siblings. We all got the chance to grow up surrounded by love because people cared enough to help us. I'm a sweet, playful, and loving puppy with lots of kisses to give. I enjoy playing with my siblings, chasing toys, and cuddling after a busy day. Every day I'm learning how wonderful life can be, and now I'm ready to find a family to call my very own. If you're looking for a best friend who will fill your home with love, I can't wait to meet you!

Story
Hi, I'm Cinderella! I may have the name of a princess, but my story started a little differently. My mom was rescued after living as a stray in Coachella, and not long after she was safe, she surprised everyone by giving birth to me and my five siblings! Thanks to the kindness of so many people, I've been able to grow up in a loving foster home instead of out on the streets. I'm a happy, playful puppy who loves to explore, play with my siblings, and then snuggle up when I'm all tired out. Everything is new and exciting to me, and I can't wait to discover the world with my forever family by my side. Could you be the happily-ever-after I've been waiting for?

Story
Hi, I'm Bandit! Don't let my name fool you. I only steal one thing... hearts! My journey began before I was even born. My mom had been surviving as a stray in Coachella until a kind person rescued her. Soon after, she gave birth to me and my five siblings, giving us all a chance at a life filled with love. Now I'm growing into a fun, curious, and affectionate puppy. I love to play, wrestle with my siblings, and then curl up for a well-earned nap. I'm learning something new every day and would love a family to help me continue my adventures. If you're looking for a loyal best friend to grow up with, I think we'd make the perfect team!
