Story
Lorenzo is a sweet and affectionate little Terrier mix. He is a bit shy around new people and dogs but warms up fast. He would like an active family for playtime and walks; it would be great if there is another playful dog in the family. He is just learning to walk on a leash and is catching up fast. Tony would like to cuddle up on the couch and sleep in bed with you at night. Since Lorenzo is so small we don't recommend him for families with toddlers or small children. He would like a secured, fenced backyard to do his business. Lorenzo is about one year old and weighs 11 lbs. He is dewormed, neutered and up to date on all shots. Our vet assumes that Lorenzo is a Podengo/Norfolk Terrier mix. Lorenzo will need ongoing puppy training (leash, potty, manners) so please only apply if you are ready to put in the work and have the time and patience for a puppy We request an application, in person meet and greet, and a home check. Adoptions are not done on a first come first serve basis; it is always the best match for the dog. We do not ship out of state; we do not transport. Before you apply please make sure that everyone in your household is in agreement to adopt a puppy.

These pups are in Fountain Valley, California too!

Story
Buddy is a sweet little 8-9 pound young guy who has been decompressing in his foster home for over a year now. He requires the humans in his life to have patience with him. If you are looking for an instant dog, just add water, this isn't the dog for you. He must have had a terrifying start to life, he spent a lot of the first few months with us hiding when possible. Buddy will make a great dog for a human or family who takes the time to let him be himself and learn to trust them. He does well in small dog playgroups, and would likely come around much faster with another calm dog in his adoptive home that can show him the ropes, so that is an ideal situation for him. Buddy will not be placed in a home without another well-socialized, friendly dog.He will also need a secure yard and entries and exits to the home. Like Fort Knox secure. His hobby in his past life was to escape, which in the last case was to his benefit since he escaped the shelter and we took him into our rescue. Buddy is very treat motivated, which is helpful since he isn't totally sure of us big people... but food is the magic that makes him forget he is scared. Buddy is a work in progress, but aren't we all? Buddy is crate trained and very quiet inside the house. Outside he will alert bark that is all. At this time we would suggest a no child home for him, as he does scare easily. This could change in time, but for now he prefers a calm environment. He has not been cat tested. Don't let our honesty scare you. The best dogs are often these little tough cases where you have to actually earn their love and loyalty.   Buddy's ideal home:  -Secure fencing and exist-Patient and calm family-No kids-Another well rounded dog buddy to hang out with-Buddy is way more likely to initially bond with a female human than a male human.  If you are interested in Buddy, Please fill out OUR adoption application, we do not accept Adopt-a-Pet applications. Our application is located on our website www.k9spirit.org Thank you for taking the time to read, we know applying to adopt a dog has become a crazy process these days.  We will always place our rescue with the absolute best possible home for each specific dog.

Story
Hi I'm Mandy and I am about 8 years old and 10 lbs. I am in search of a new home because my mom was having a baby and didn't want me any more. I take a little bit of time to warm up to new people and new situations but once I do I will kiss you and snuggle with you for as long as you let me. I love to play with toys and will fetch or play tug of war with you. I also love to chase and play with my doggie friends.
