Story
River is incredibly sweet and a cuddle-bug, but can be rather excitable and hyper. She gets along with cats and loves to play with other dogs, but does prefer human company. She has also done well and been kind with children. She doesn't really play with toys very much, but she still gets the zoomies when played with. She walks well on a leash. Mostly potty trained, but she will need either a secure yard or to be taken out a couple times a day.

Cowboy

Mutt

Male, Young
Murrieta, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Cowboy had a fragile start. He was found lying in the dirt with his umbilical cord still attached, and it was assumed his mother had rejected him, so he was adopted out at just one day old. Neonates require feeding every two hours, but Cowboy received inconsistent care and his health began to decline. When Ava, his mother, and the rest of his family came into our care, the finder asked if we could take Cowboy also-of course we said yes. He was just one-fifth the size of his siblings and got plenty of solo time at the milk bar. He soon caught up and is now healthy and thriving. Cowboy has the softest energy of all the pups. Introverted, gentle, and observant, he is not a social butterfly; but with those he knows and trusts, his playful, goofy side shines. He has been bounced around too much in his short life and deeply craves safety and stability. Cowboy deserves a calm, steady home where he can finally feel safe. Any family would be so very lucky to have him. This boy has my heart.

Story
Ava is a soulful, resilient, deeply affectionate dog who has been through more than any dog ever should, yet her heart remains wide open. Abandoned in the desert while pregnant, Ava survived long enough to reach an organic waste facility, where she gave birth to nine puppies beneath a metal trash bin. Several did not survive. Against all odds, Ava proved to be an extraordinary mother- gentle, attentive, and devoted. That chapter is behind her now. Ava is ready for a safe, stable home where she can finally exhale and be someone's steady companion (and she will). I am a professional dog trainer and behaviorist, and Ava is one of THE most remarkable dogs I have ever known. She is highly attuned, loyal, and joyful despite her past. Her favorite place is simply near her person. Ava thrives with calm, confident humans who value structure, routine, and emotional steadiness. She is selectively social with dogs and has high prey drive, so a home without cats or small animals is best.
