Story
Meet Jelly! This petite girl is around 5 years old and with her long, scruffy fur, we believe she is a mix of Miniature Poodle, Retriever and Terrier. She is a shy, unsocialized girl slowly gaining confidence in her foster home. She now approaches her foster family for pets and is learning the leash and how to live in a home. She is looking for a family with experience in shyer dogs who can continue to socialize her and build her confidence. We recommend quieter homes at this time without lots of visitors or small children running around. She is good with other dogs. If you think you are ready to add to your family by adopting Jelly when she is ready then fill out an adoption questionnaire on our website today! We recommend completing the questionnaire and connecting with an adoption coach before looking for a dog or puppy you'd like to adopt. If you're already approved to adopt or if you've adopted from Labs and More before, connect with your adoption coach for the next steps. Your interest in adopting a rescued dog or puppy from Labs and More Rescue is appreciated! Please find our adoption information at www.labsandmore.org. Your adoption donation provides funding for Labs and More, a nonprofit organization which is supported solely by Volunteers and funded by donations. Good news is your adoption donation can be considered tax deductible. So much care is provided to your new dog prior to the adoption, including: spay and neuter, microchip, veterinarian visit(s), vaccinations, and other medical care as needed. Many of the dogs we rescue require extensive surgeries and care prior to adoption. Please understand we are unable to predict future behavior or medical needs of your adopted dog. We provide no guarantees regarding behavior, breed, or age of the dogs. Thank you for rescuing. Thank you for joining the Adoption Family with Labs and More Rescue. We are here to help you find a furry companion. You will find our quick and easy adoption application at www.labsandmore.org and click on Adopt. Please email us at I doginfo@labsandmore.org if you need assistance. Thank you for looking to a rescue group to fulfill your dream of adding a new dog to your life!

During the day he is playing with brother They are the happiest litter ever:) you will pick him up in your arms and he will give you kisses. Are you ready to give him a forever home? If so, Please text at 619-576-0747 as 1st type of contact or email veronica.aaofusa@gmail.com or visit our website at www.aaofus.org and complete our application at the following link: http://aaofus.org/adoption-application.html . If approved, the adoption coordinator will reach out to you to schedule a Meet-and-Greet appointment.

Please allow 48 hours to process applications and respond back to set up appointments. Unfortunately, responses back to those who do not qualify are not possible due to high volume of applications.

Please consider adopting one (or more!) of these fur babies! Due to high volume of calls; NO PHONE calls are accepted at this time - therefore, please text us or email us.- A minute of conscious - Please read:) We ask you Please to be SERIOUS adopters; as there have been so many people that are not ready. We set up meet & greet appointments, do a home visit or send them the address for some meet & greet locations, paperwork and suddenly they said they are not ready or spouse is not ready, etc. These fur kids have a very hard day the day of their appointment. Due to travelling we hold their food, so they won't get car sick. We bath them, some of them are schedule for grooming as you know it is stressful for them; then they have to travel with us picking up other rescued fur kids, and so on, it is a very stressful hard day for them for people to just cancel at last minute or not show up or do show up and just say they are not ready. Our time as well as your time is valuable. Please don't waste valuable time that is so precious for a rescued pet. Every single wasted time is a time that an animal will die because we didn't get to them on time to help them. In addition, of wasting gas and grooming fees which are paid by volunteers. Please take the time to put your shoes in the shoes of the volunteer and most of it to put your shoes on our rescued fur kids!! Please take a minute to tell yourself if you are ready to adopt and for this commitment. LIVE!! LOVE!! LAUGH!! ADOPT A RESCUED HOMELESS PET AND SAVE A LIFE!!

ATTENTION:  All of our dogs are in private foster homes.  We do NOT have a kennel with multiple dogs.  If you find a dog you want to meet in person, please go to www.secondchancedogrescue.org and complete an application.    We will make every attempt to process all applications within 3 business days of receipt. // // Meet Alfie! This sweet little gentleman is a 9-year-old, 10-lb poodle mix with a heart full of love. Alfie is fully potty trained and hasn’t had a single accident in his foster home — he’ll let you know when he needs something by giving a polite bark, whether it’s time for a snack or a potty break! Alfie is a very affectionate boy who loves to curl up on your lap or snuggle as close as you’ll let him. He enjoys being part of the action and just wants to be near his person. While he’s quiet most of the time, he will bark when he sees people or dogs outside the window, so he requires a home with a yard rather than an apartment setting. He does not do well on walks so will need  yard for potty breaks. Alfie is believed to be deaf, but that doesn’t stop him from living life to the fullest — he’s incredibly intuitive, observant, and quick to pick up on routines. He will not do well with young children as he can be nippy when trying to put his harness on him.  He’s neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated, and ready to find his forever lap to love. His adoption fee is $300. If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal, and loving companion who’s happiest by your side, Alfie might just be your perfect match. All Second Chance Dog Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, are up to date on vaccines and have microchips prior to adoption.   Adoption fees vary depending on age of dog. Fees help Second Chance Dog Rescue cover spay/neuter costs,   vaccinations, medical treatments, food and supplies. Please go to  www.secondchancedogrescue.org  and complete an application today!    All dogs live in private foster homes until they are adopted.  December 24, 2025, 6:33 pm

Story
Butterfinger entered Pasadena Humane Society as a stray, and sadly, no one came for him. He is estimated to be 12 years old, weighs just under 18 lbs, and is a total lovebug! Butterfinger went on an extended Frosted Fling, and his foster mom only has wonderful things to report: "I had Butterfingers in my home for four weeks, and he is the sweetest, most gentle little love that I have fostered so far. He is house-trained and goes to the door when he needs to go out. He loves mealtime and short little walks around the block. He sleeps well through the night and takes several naps during the day. While he loves to be close by, he is not a Velcro dog. Butterfinger is friendly towards all people and does well around kids. He even got an A+ on his report card from the groomer for being the best boy while getting his nails trimmed. Butterfinger loves my dog and cat, and they all get along fabulously. He is very quiet and does not bark at the Amazon delivery man. He also rides well in the car. Butterfinger does love company and sometimes he will whimper a little bit when he thinks he’s all alone. I think he will be fine as an only dog in the house, but I think he would also benefit being in a pack where he can be the follower. Butterfinger is super lovable and loves to be petted, held, and given kisses." To meet Butterfinger, please email: placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org

Story
Pinot Noir entered Corona Shelter as a stray, and sadly, no one came to claim her. On September 5th, we scooped up Pinot Noir to become a Frosted Face. She is around 8 years old, weighs 10 lbs., and is as sweet as can be! Pinot Noir went on a two-week Frosted Fling, and we learned a lot about her in a home setting. Her Fling Mom reported: "In our time with Pinot Noir, we learned the following: * She really is a loving little girl with loyalty to her peeps and a super chipper attitude. * She must have had a home because she runs to her doggy bed instinctively as if to say, "This is where you want me to sit, right?" * She loves to roll in the grass. * She is a good eater. About 1 can per day. * She is super excited to see her family members when they come home. * She wants to play like a puppy, but doesn't need to snuggle up all of the time. * She is perfectly fine in a bed when I am working from home. * She was an angel when I gave her a bath. * When we go out we leave her in a playpen. * She is a smart cookie, as you can see in the video of her making easy work of a food puzzle! Pinot Noir is going to make some family very happy!" Pinot Noir currently lives in a Foster home while she waits for her forever family. Her foster mom has only wonderful things to report! "Pinot Noir loves to be scratched. She sleeps through the night in her own bed. Before breakfast, she takes a walk around the neighborhood and likes everyone we meet along the way. Sometimes, she comes with me when I play pickleball. She sits like an angel in her stroller and loves the attention she gets. She hangs out at home most off the day otherwise and is good if home alone." Looking for a sweet and loving companion? Please email: placement@frostedfacesfoundation.org to meet precious Pinot Noir!

Story
Hello New Friends, My name is Beloved and Blissful Bohdi — and I’m a gentle, handsome bichon boy of five years, weighing 19 pounds who has soulful brown eyes and a nose my foster mom says is “designed specifically for kisses.” (I think she might be right). If you’re wondering what kind of pup I am, let me tell you my story. Recently I found myself starting a brand-new chapter as a FurKid. I lost my mom, my home and my doggy siblings and arrived at my foster home: polite, quiet boy who wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. I quickly learned that life inside a loving home is full of soft beds, kind hands, and tummy rubs (oh yes, the tummy rubs!). Within days I began to show my true self: a gentle soul who leans in for affection, rolls over for belly scratches, and melts into your hand when you pet the top of my head. I close my eyes and nearly drift off every time. My Foster says that’s “the cutest thing she’s ever seen.” I’m also a happy, lively pup when the great outdoors calls! I love going on walks, especially when we meet wildlife trotting across our path. Squirrels, birds, anything with feathers or fur — I perk right up and say, “Ooh! A friend!” At the park I run, jump, and play with the other dogs. I’m still learning that after you chase a toy, you’re supposed to actually bring it back. I’m working on that (I promise). As for other pups, I’m definitely the “easygoing little brother” type. I’ll curl up back-to-back with my foster siblings, share space like a gentleman, and happily join in when everyone crowds around for pets and treats. Sometimes I check what the others got for dinner, because… well… what if they received something even better? I’m still perfecting the art of “eat your dinner first, Bohdi,” but I’m enthusiastic about the lesson. I adore grown-ups, too, and I’m wonderful with children. On a recent walk, I met two young neighbors—ages four and eight—and politely let them pet me with no hesitation. I’m also a terrific car-ride companion: on my 45-minute trip to my foster home I alternated between looking out the window like a proper explorer and curling up for a restful snooze. I was “a perfect gentleman.” House manners? I do very well — especially with a doggie door. I’m great on the leash, too. I think I know how to heel, because I often glance back to check in with my Mom. Sitting is a work in progress. When you ask, I sometimes melt gently to the floor instead. It’s not that I’m being disobedient… it’s more like shyness mixed with charm. At night I hop up on the bed for snuggles, then quietly choose a dog bed of my own nearby. I’m calm and rarely bark (unless my foster siblings rally to protect the house) then, of course, I contribute one polite “woof!” to the cause. I’m an active boy who enjoys good walks (and time outdoors), but also wonderfully content with naps and companionship. I’m healthy, easygoing, affectionate, gentle, and ready to give my whole heart to the person or family who loves me. Whether you scoop me up in your arms, pull me close on the couch, or stroke the top of my head while I drift toward dreamland, I’ll show you every day just how grateful and loving a little dog can be. My Ideal Home Should Have: • A family or adult(s) who enjoy affection and togetherness • Another kind, playful dog in my home • Humans who appreciate a gentle, loving companion • Regular walks and time outside (I do love an adventure!) Experience Level: • Someone with dog experience • A home where kindness and routine are the norm If you’re looking for a loving, tenderhearted companion who wants nothing more than to be close, be cherished, and share life’s simple joys, I’m applying to be your new best friend. Please ask for me by name. Tail wags, snuggles, and love, Beloved, Blissful and Blessed Bohdi

Story
Hello World! I’m Endearing and Energetic Emmie, and if cuteness were a sport, I’d be a pro. I’m a sweet and wiggly little fluff who’s ‘about’ one year old (or maybe a bit younger!) and I currently tip the scales at just over 10 pounds — and I’m filling out nicely now that I know where my meals are coming from. Everyone says I’m the dog-ification of cute… and honestly, have you seen my face? I’m full of joyful puppy energy and bounce through life like I’m weightless. When I wag my tail, my whole body wiggles along with it! I love to run and zoom across the yard, leap like a tiny gazelle, and race through the house with my foster sister. Toys are amazing, zoomies are mandatory, and playtime is one of my favorite things ever. After all that fun, I transition into the world’s sweetest cuddle bug. I’ll curl right up in your lap and fall fast asleep. (You can almost feel me relaxing as I realize I’m safe, loved, and part of a pack.) I’m extremely affectionate with my people and I love being close — kisses included. I get along beautifully with the dogs in my foster home. I play with the younger pup and politely leave the seniors alone, although I have started playing tug-of-war with my older foster sister as she is open to that kind of play. (She’s a FurKid alum, too). I warm up quickly to visitors and make friends quickly, once I know they’re part of my people. I’m still learning about the big world outside. Walks can still be a little overwhelming and I may bark at dogs I don’t know yet, but my foster family is helping me learn with patience, treats, and encouragement — and I’m already making progress. I’m smart, eager, and trying my very best. Since I’m still a baby at heart, I’m also learning about housetraining and basic commands like sit, stay, and come. I didn’t get much training previously but I’m catching on quickly --and will thrive with someone who is kind, consistent, and committed to helping me learn. One thing you should know about me most of all: I really LOVE my people. A lot. I don’t like being alone yet and can become anxious when my family leaves, so I’ll do best with someone who’s home most of the time and understands that I need reassurances as I become more confident. My Ideal Home: Someone home most of the time A patient, loving adopter who understands puppies and puppy energy A young, playful dog is required A family ready for an active, affectionate, very wiggly girl Experience Level: Dog experience preferred Willingness to continue training and socialization I’m a soft, sweet, playful little soul who wants nothing more than to belong — especially to a couple or family who will guide me as I grow. With love, structure, and and more experience, I’m going to be the most amazing FurKid. It’s what I was born to be! So If you’re ready for puppy joy, lap naps, zoomies, and endless affection, please fill out an adoption application and ask for me. I’ll be waiting… with wiggles, kisses, and my whole heart 💕 Love and tail wags, Endearing, Energetic and Exquisite Emmie
