Story
Hi There!! Lucy Here, born in rescue in 2014 with 7 other siblings to our Mama Mercedes. I am a sweet girl, very quiet and loving, gentle, obedient and good on leash and love long walks and can walk 3 miles! I love car rides and outdoor dining with you as we are well behaved!. I was available for adoption with my brother Chuck, we looked alike in our faces but not our body, Rescue thinks that Mom was a Puggle and Dad a Schnauzer. All us puppies and Mama were adopted in 2014, we had a family of our own to share, a Mom, Dad our own little girl and a fur sister...We were happy....Then, Our family returned my brother and I to the rescue June 2019, 5yrs later! Why? Because our Dad adopted a pitbull after they adopted us, and they already had a King Charles Cavalier... Why did he do that? who knows ... and that dog was picking on my brother Chuck, and human Mom was too stressed out to handle a new baby and the attacks... So we came back to our Rescuer in search of a loving, quiet home to retire in and take our walks.... we were in foster care a long time till our foster parents decided to travel, and then we became semi permanent residents of our rescuer… my sweet brother Chuck recently crossed over rainbow bridge and I am alone now… I would love nothing more than to be with an active Elder person or couple that takes walks and enjoys my company…. I’m a diamond in the rough I may not be beautiful outside but I’m beautiful inside I’m loyal, dedicated, and obedient… Will you let me spend my final chapters with you? Please consider an elder bonded pair, these pups are so well behaved, they are currently with Foster Parents in Yorba Linda who will tell you how good they are...

Story
Billie is a gentle, sweet dog, but he is nervous away from home. He does not travel, and gets very fussy in a car. He is 2 1/2 years old, weighs 18 lbs, and is strong and healthy. Billie does not chew the furniture or anything but his bone and his biscuit. He doesn't hump, hardly sheds (part poodle), and almost never barks. He is a good boy, who protects his little brother from big dogs. He has beautiful brown eyes. As we need to travel with our dogs, and do not want to board him, we would like to find him a new home to settle into.

Story
Since we rescued Phillip in 2017 when he was barely a puppy, he had been nothing but loving, energetic, and loves to snuggle. The pep in his step has since slowed down in his later years, but still loves a good session of the zoomies in the backyard. He has been the best friend, guard dog, and snuggle buddy we could have asked for in the season of our lives. As we have recently welcomed our second child into our home, it breaks our heart that the change has been too overwhelming for him and we are looking for someone who can give him the same care, love, and attention we’ve given him for these past 9 years.

While his experience with other dogs is unknown due to limited outings, he has shown himself to be confident and affectionate with people. An ideal home would be a couple or a household with older kids who can match his energy and give him the structure and attention he deserves.
