Story
Meet Simone! Looking for a tiny hiking buddy? A dog for your dog? Sweet Simone could be your gal! 2-year-old Simone has quickly blossomed in foster care and now it’s her turn to be somebody’s baby! Shy at first, she absolutely shines once she warms up to you. Simone is crate trained, house trained, sleeps quietly in her crate all night, rides well in the car, and is happy running errands and going to lunch. She also loves chilling in your lap for movie night but is not needy. Simone is NOT a yappy dog. Simone has a high prey drive, so any adopter will have to commit to keep her leashed as she loves to chase. She also has potential to be an escape artist so supervision while in a yard is also needed. Simone is happy pup who deserves a loving home. She will make an adorable companion to the lucky people who adopt her!

Pete is an adorable MinPin/Chihuahua mix, about 10 years old and weighs 9 lbs. The previous owner wanted him rehomed because a family member was allergic. He loves people more than other dogs but can co-exist just fine with them. He will bond very quickly to his person and just wants someone to love him. He is very sweet and affectionate. Pete is up-to-date on vaccines, neutered and microchipped. He will be getting a dental check as well. If you are interested in him, please complete the application on our website: www.adoptmerescue.org. LOCAL AREA ADOPTION ONLY

Story
Coffee is a very rambunctious 1 year old puppy. I rescued him from the shelter when he was about 2 months old. He is very sweet and playful. He gets along great with kids and other dogs, although he can be a bit much for some dogs. He is full of energy all the time. He does have his chill moments where he loves to cuddle with you under a blanket. I would love for him to go to a loving home where he can get the attention he needs and maybe a little more training when it comes to walking and jumping. He needs someone who can focus on him and give him lots of attention. Maybe a home with another dog or even children, as he loves to play. Lately he's been chewing on things around the house, which was never an issue, so I'm hoping it's just a phase or something that can be worked on with training. He just needs a home with someone who has the time and patience that I unfortunately can't provide right now

Story
This cutie pie is Choco. Choco is a purebred Miniature Pincher. He’s about 2 yrs old and weighs just about 8 lbs. Choco is a typical Min Pin, small dog with a big attitude. He is very sassy on his walks and NEEDS an EXPERIENCED Min Pin owner who knows how to be in charge when it comes to keeping him straight on his walks. He needs some training in that department. He’s big at barking on his walks. He does get along with other dogs he lives with, but he prefers to be the main man so he can get all the playtime and snuggles. Talking about snuggles, he’s THE BIGGEST LOVEBUG! He just loves to curl up next to you and snuggle. He is a great little companion pup. Choco will NOT be a good fit for a family with young kids. If you feel that you can fill the shoes of being Choco’s new family, please fill out out adoption application on our website www.preciouspalspetrescue.org

Story
HENRIETTE-URGENT-Sponsorship: Henriette is awaiting life-saving specialty surgery or radiation treatment (preferred) to remove a tumor on her thyroid gland. It is not malignant but causes an extremely high thyroid count. If it is not removed Henriette will die. Our regular veterinarians won’t do the surgery and have referred us to several specialists to do this very delicate surgery or equally delicate radiation which will cost $12,000 to $14,000. Even with an added 15% rescue discount, it is more money than we can ever raise. We are seeking help! We have no funds left. We have spent nearly $2000 for all her diagnostics—specialty ultrasounds, blood panels, cardiology assessment at MASH, urinalysis and other needed tests, medications, holistic treatments and supplements which we hope will help until we are able to raise the funds necessary for her urgent procedure. Henriette is also on expensive "Just Food For Dogs", human grade food, is fed several times a day, and gets a whole host of supplements and vitamins. Donations can also be made directly to the veterinarian and The Nature Network Inc., a 501c3 non-profit, will provide a donation receipt for tax deductions. We rescued Henriette from the Orange County Animal Shelter, where she was out of time and living her final days. Henriette loves her doggy playmates and they would miss Hen terribly if she died. Henriette is spayed and current on her vaccinations. For more information about HENRIETTE, and if you or someone you know can help her, please contact us: theanimalsleftbehind@socal.rr.com (Also our PayPal donation/sponsorship email address)

Story
COOKIE is a lovely adult-to-senior girl, 12 pounds, Miniature Pinscher whose senior human dad passed away, leaving Cookie and her four little companions, Shorty, Millie, Poopsy, and Missy, without their dad. They all get along really well, are house trained, and also know to use pads to do their business indoors, at night, and when it's raining or very cold out. Cookie's late dad probably did not realize that Cookie's left eye was swollen and didn't look right. We don't know exactly what happened to it, but veterinarians are thinking it was untreated uveitis leading to glaucoma that was no longer treatable with medicines. So poor Cookie had to have an enucleation--eye removal. We don't think her other eye was or will ever be involved as we don't know what was the underlying cause. It could have been injury to the eye rather than a systemic problem. Cookie can often be found burrowed in a blanket, and when we arrive starts to dig herself out! None of the pups appear to be serious barkers, only barking to warn that someone is at or near the front door, and then they settle down again. They are great with cats, because they were housemate with six (6) cats! If shown a lot of affection and understanding when welcomed into their new homes, we are sure these lovely kiddos will do well in loving new homes even when they won’t be staying together. IMPORTANT NOTE: Recently the number of deaths from hungry coyote attacks has greatly increased. Coyotes can climb 10 foot fences with a small to medium sized dog in their jaws. This happens in broad daylight in the middle of the day, and on trails while hiking with your dog on a leash, it is truly unbelievable, and we have frightening first-hand accounts. We are listing these lovely pups to help their current foster in finding them wonderful new homes. All four girl pups are spayed, Shorty is neutered, and all of them current on vaccines. To learn more about Cookie (or Shorty, Millie, Poopsy, and Missy), please contact us at: theanimalsleftbehind@socal.rr.com (also our PayPal email for donations and sponsorships).
