Story

James Bone 007 is on a mission, not to save the world, but to find his forever home! This dashing 9-year-old, 13 lb Maltese-Pom mix was found wandering the streets of Compton after an ICE raid, likely separated from his owner. With no microchip and no way to trace his family, James spent a month in foster care while neighbors searched for his owner. Then, he was brought to us at Shelter Hope in the hopes of finding him a wonderful new home. Since moving in with his foster family, James has proven himself to be a true gentleman. His foster says he seems house-trained (not a single accident!) and will politely sniff at the door when he needs to go out. He walks beautifully on a leash, enjoys leisurely strolls in the park, and, like any alert little secret agent, keeps an eye on the world around him, sometimes barking at other dogs or out the window. James is a wonderful companion with excellent manners. He adores children, warms up easily to adults, and loves being near his humans, though he’s also independent enough to settle quietly on his own. He enjoys snuggles and pets but isn’t overly clingy, and he’ll happily follow you from room to room, waiting patiently by your side. Though his foster noticed that his hearing may not be the best, James doesn’t let it slow him down one bit. He’s thriving, happy, and ready to share his sweet, steady presence with a family who will love him. James Bone 007 is ready for his greatest adventure yet, finding a forever family to call his own! ------- Looking to Adopt? Submit a Rescue Questionnaire! Please be thorough in your answers. Be Ready: If your application is selected, our rescue counselor will be in touch for a phone interview. Adoptions can happen quickly so be prepared for our call, only apply for dogs that every family member in the home wants, and wait to apply until you return from your vacation. Please Keep in Mind: Due to high demand, especially for popular dogs, not all applicants will be contacted. Moreover, we may not reach out if we have already approved a family to adopt. The process can take several days. Thank you for your patience!

Story

Meet Bella! Bella is a 4-year-old Maltese mix with the heart of a gentle old soul and the sweetest disposition you could ask for. Weighing just 12 pounds, she’s the perfect size for cuddling on the couch—or quietly following you around the house as your loyal little shadow. With her gorgeous long blonde coat and soulful golden eyes, Bella is a showstopper. Her hair is hypoallergenic, and we believe she may be a Maltese or Lhasa Apso mix. She’s calm, friendly, and incredibly loving—truly the definition of an easygoing companion. Bella is fully house-trained, crate trained, and very well-behaved. She enjoys exploring the backyard at her own relaxed pace, then settling in for cozy cuddle time with her foster. She gets along beautifully with dogs, cats, and kids, making her a wonderful fit for many types of families. Health-wise, Bella is spayed and up to date on all vaccines. She was rescued from the Palmdale shelter along with her baby, Fiona, and has been an amazing mama. Now that her puppy is grown, it’s Bella’s turn to be cherished. If you’re looking for a sweet, calm, and devoted companion to share your life, Bella is ready to meet you and start her happily-ever-after.

Story

Polly Bio: Adopt Polly! She is a 12-year-old Maltese mix who’s ready to spend her golden years by your side! This sweet senior girl has a low energy level and loves to spend most of her day napping, but don’t be fooled, when it’s time for a walk, she lights right up and prances out the door with the biggest smile. She’s fully house-trained and knows how to sit, and she’s the definition of an easygoing, happy companion. Polly is incredibly friendly with everyone she meets, familiar faces, strangers, kids, and other dogs alike. She greets every person and pup with a wagging tail and a kind, gentle demeanor. She is truly just a happy girl who enjoys life and people 🥹 Polly is also bonded with her best friend Bella, a 7-year-old Staffordshire Terrier mix. Bella’s calm and loving nature perfectly complements Polly’s cheerful spirit, they love going on walks together, curling up for naps, and simply being near their people. Wherever one goes, the other happily follows. While Polly loves to be with her people, she’s learned to feel comfortable and secure when left alone. She’ll happily curl up to nap until her person returns. When she hears the leash jingle, though, she can’t contain her excitement, walks are truly the highlight of her day. Polly and Bella would thrive in a calm home, ideally with someone retired or working from home, where they can enjoy the company they love so much. They’re a devoted duo who have so much love to give and are looking for a forever home where they can stay together. If you’re ready to open your heart to two affectionate, loyal companions, Polly and Bella will fill your days with warmth, laughter, and love.

Story

Jenga is a wonderful boy who was rescued from a high impound shelter in Kern County. He was a matted mess. He was never groomed and it was discovered that this poor boy had so many twigs and foxtails embedded in fur that caused great pain and discomfort. He must be feeling so much better now. This hasn't dampened his spirits at all. He is so loving, sweet and even. Jenga is great with other dogs and people. He's always looking for a way to get his play on. He walks well on a leash. He is under 2 years and weighs 12 pounds All dogs in our program are up to date on all their shots, spayed or neutered, and micro chipped.
