Story
This is the sweetest most loving 12 year old little boy named Channing! He loves cuddling and going for walks, and appears to be easily trainable.  He was left in the Carson shelter in a pen with several other dogs and was shut down and traumatized by all the noise and commotion, so it took him a couple of days to come out of his shell and warm up a little, but after a few weeks he has adjusted to his new foster surroundings and new people and has really blossomed.  He runs around with his other two foster brother dogs and, even though they are bigger, he still tries to play with them.  He also has 3 cat siblings more his size and he sleeps with them all on the couch when we are watching TV.  He knows phrases like, "wanna go outside?", "Let's go" and "It's time for bed."  He is pretty relaxed with the groomer and loves when I dress him up in his hoodie. When he first came to me, he seemed to favor his right back leg, but that does not seem to be an issue anymore.  He has a daily walk with another dog and seems fine.  He is protective of his food and should be fed separately.  The vet also recently ordered prednisone to shring a pineal hernia to its current size.  He was neutered in October.  Would do well with a family but preferably with older kids, or an older couple or single person who would like a senior dog companion with a youthful personality and a lot of life left to live. ##2650062##

Story
Maye is a sweet 2-3 year old Maltese mix who came to West LA Shelter as a stray — and let’s just say she arrived as a bit of a hot mess express. Thanks to the shelter, she got a much-needed glow up, and her true personality is starting to shine. At the shelter, Maye was very scared but still sought out cuddles and kisses from volunteers, showing just how loving she is at heart. Now in a cozy foster home, she’s decompressing, learning what the good life is all about, and absolutely loving it. Her favorite things so far? Snuggling on the couch and learning how to play fetch like a proper little pup. Maye is still settling in, but she’s already proving to be a gentle, affectionate girl who just needed a soft place to land. If you’re interested in fostering or adopting Maye, please fill out an application at https://www.hitlivingfoundation.org/foster-application (foster) or hitlivingfoundation.org/adopt (adopt). Estimated DOB: 01/30/2023 Adoption fee: $550

Story
Tucker is an adorable, two-month-old Maltese mix who came to us from McFarland, CA, after a networker alerted us that he’s looking for a home. This little guy is ready to bring some serious spunk to his new family! At just a few months old, Tucker is a playful, curious puppy who’s always eager to explore. He loves discovering new things and always wants to be in the mix — so he’ll need a family ready to provide all the puppy care and structure he needs to grow into a well-mannered adult. Whether it’s playtime, training, or cuddles, Tucker is up for it all! If you’re interested in fostering or adopting Tucker, please fill out an application at https://www.hitlivingfoundation.org/foster-application (foster) or hitlivingfoundation.org/adopt (adopt).

Story
Meet Big Mac... another fantastic dog dumped in a shelter. Big Mac is a mischievous pup. He has great self esteem and loves to play and snuggle. He walks well on a leash, is crate trained and potty trained. He will require an active household to meet his needs both physically and mentally. He can be a little rascal if not. He is around 1 year old and weighs 15 pounds. All dogs in our program are up to date on all their shots, spayed or neutered, and micro chipped. Our dogs are in foster homes which enables us to learn more about them in a home environment. We do not place dogs on a first come first serve basis, but rather to the home best suited for them. An application, adoption fee and contract are required. Please direct all questions to adopt@crdogrescue.com. All our dogs can be met with an approved application. Thank you for looking at a rescue dog for your next family member.

Story
Breed: Maltese Age: 10 yrs. Weight: 10 lbs. Good with dogs: yes Good with cats: unsure Good with kids: no Energy level: unsure Good with men/strangers: prefers female humans Hypoallergenic: yes Special home requirements or medical: quiet home with no kids or other dogs is best Additional info: Sweet Zipper has found his way back to DWB. He was missing fur, itchy, and had lots of knots. Then the poor boy had a neck injury. During the time of his vet visit we learned he has a heart murmur and the start of cataracts. He also just received a dental thanks to DWB. Zipper also will need regular allergy shots, medicated baths for his skin, and food free from additives. This sweet boy deserves to find his forever home. He is a dog that likes to do things on his terms. If he wants to cuddle, he will climb on you; if he wants to be left alone, he will go lay down away from you. On walks he likes to say hi to everyone, but they have to move slow and let him come to them. Zipper likes to be in the presence of other dogs but after about 20 minutes he has had enough and wants to go home to decompress. He is fully potty trained and lets you know when he needs to go out. He also lets you know when he is hungry or there is no more water in his bowl. Zipper loves short periods of play time playing fetch. He also does not mind being left in the crate when you are gone and in-fact enjoys it. Zipper likes a quiet home so no kids or other dogs. He also prefers female humans. His foster mom has also noticed he is not a fan of big trucks, bikes, or anything that’s really loud and moves fast especially when on his walks. This guy has been failed too many times. Give him a home, a real home, forever! You won't regret it!
