Story
Meet Pudge! From the streets of Mexico to condo life, this almost-one-year-old, 30 lb Puggle mix is living proof that rescue dogs have the best comeback stories. 💚 Pudge is a total ham who has quickly mastered indoor living. Here is why you’ll fall in love: House Trained & Routine Savvy: He has his potty routine down, walks like a champ on the leash, and sleeps soundly in his crate at night. Playful Yet Chilled: He loves a good game of fetch, but he’s just as happy lounging around while you work or relax. Dog Friendly: He loves the company of other dogs and enjoys social time. Pudge has done great meeting kids in passing, though he hasn't lived with them or cats yet. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate, adaptable buddy to complete your family, Pudge is your guy!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Forever home wanted, meet Walter! Walter is an amazing pup! His foster raves about him so Walter is not a case where his family did not invest in him. Not sure of the circumstances, but Walter was brought into the shelter on September 11th when his owner was arrested. He sat in the shelter for well over a month under a personal property hold to allow time for his owner to reclaim him. Fast forward to October 22nd, Walter was made available so when a foster reached out to us willing to foster, we got the freedom ride out of doggie jail Walter was so patiently waiting for.  Once in the foster's home, Walter made fast friends with the foster's resident dogs and cat! Walter is crate trained and house trained! Walter is also super friendly with everyone he meets.  Walter is a gem! If you are interested in meeting him, head over to labradorsandfriends.org to fill out an application. Walter is located in Southern California.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 1, 2026, 7:15 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact Lauren for more information about this pet.Meet Pugsy Malone! At 10 years young, Pugsy Malone has already overcome one big challenge. After surgery to remove a painful mass on the side of his face, he’s fully healed and feeling better than ever. Now all he needs is a family to call his own. Pugsy is a happy, easygoing little guy who loves people, enjoys his walks, and gets along well with other dogs. He’s the kind of companion who’s simply grateful to be by your side. After everything he’s been through, we’d love nothing more than to see him trade his boarding kennel for a cozy bed, a loving family, and the comfort of a real home. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key companion to foster or adopt, Pugsy is ready to bring endless love and companionship into your life. If you’re interested in fostering or adopting Pugsy Malone, please submit an application at www.labradorsandfriends.org . Pugsy Malone is located in Southern California.    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 1, 2026, 7:15 pm
