Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Cameron was returned this summer - 9 months after he was adopted! Now he's looking for a REAL forever family.  Cameron is best described as a Cat-Dog. Much like a cat Cameron is happy on his own, and likes to be petted - but when he's ready. He isn't gonna try to steal the spotlight because he'd much rather hang out on his own - until he's comfortable. If you are looking for a fast friend, this is NOT the dog for you. But if you want to invest the time and let the dog feel relaxed and safe, he will repay you by letting you pet his chin. Cameron will do really well in a home with another small dog to help him feel more comfortable, or with a human that won't put too much pressure on him to be their friend. He is leash trained, crate trained and will need a dog savvy adopter. =============================================================== Originally, Cameron came to us after his owner was evicted and decided to abandon the house full of animals when they left.  Cameron and the two pack mates that we pulled with him were terrified. It's been 9 months and these cutie pies are available for adoption.  Cameron is the slowest to come around of the 3 dogs we pulled. While he is more comfortable hanging out by himself he does like people.  Cameron absolutely loves to run around the yard, and the more you praise how fast he is, the faster he runs - with a smile! Cameron is still shy and needs an owner that will go slow with him, but still apply a little bit of pressure. If you'd like to meet Cameron, come on down to our adoption center.

Story
I got him through a family friend, they couldn’t take care of him and I took him in without thinking, and committed a little too soon. I want what’s best for him and want him to be with a family that’s there for him. He’s around 8-10 years old. He’s very friendly and funny. He loves when people pet him and rub his tummy. He loves treats as well.

Story
This is the most special little dog. She was living in a homeless camp in LA. She came staggering out to the street covered in fleas and filth. One of our humane workers picked her up. She is now feeling much better, clean, and eating nutritious food. We have named her Trixie May. She looks to be a Papillon - Pomeranian - Chihuahua mix. She is 10 years old. She loves to be held and gets so excited when we talk to her. Trixie May is a treasure.

Story
Chloe is a beautiful small 1 year old puppy who looks like a miniature Golden Retriever blend with Papillion ears! She is as sweet as the day is long and is wonderful with other dogs, with children, and with kitties. Chloe‘s temperament would make her a perfect addition to any family who is looking for a pup to grow up with children. She’s around a two-year-old girl and a seven-year-old boy, so she’s delightful with small kids. There isn’t an aggressive bone in her body; she’s a sweet mellow tolerant pup. She’s a playful and amusing little doll face. Chloe is a very smart girl! She learns commands very quickly and easily, and she’s attentive and loving. Chloe is not a barker or a wanderer. She won’t annoy your neighbors or dig in your yard! She’s well-behaved, friendly, housebroken, gentle, and tolerant. Chloe weighs about 30 pounds, and she’s full grown. As I said, she looks like a very small Golden Retriever! She’s also very affectionate, so she’ll make a wonderful family buddy. Of course, Chloe is spayed and up to date on all her shots – she’s ready for her forever home! I am a firm believer in having potential adopters take a pup home for a “sleepover” to see how your family, your other pets, and your new best buddy all get along. We always take our rascals back if it isn’t a good fit. To meet this beautiful pupper and the rest of my foster pups (and maybe even have a sleepover), pls email findabestbuddy@gmail.com or call 858-602-2061 • findabestbuddy@gmail.com • (858) 602-2061
