Story
Hey there, I’m Everest! I’m a 2yearold, female, 21pound Pug mix with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wiggling. I just finished raising my adorable puppies, and now I’m ready for my own happilyeverafter! I might be a tiny bit shy when we first meet, but give me a minute and—BOOM—I’m your new shadow. I’m a certified Velcro pup who believes personal space is a myth. If you’re looking for a buddy who sticks by your side like glue, I’m your girl. I love walks (I get excited and might do a little “zoompull”), and toys are basically the best thing ever. I’m great with dogs, cats, and kids—pretty much anyone who wants to be my friend. I’m a quiet little lady who rarely barks, and I’ve got a gentle, sweet personality. My only request? Please don’t put me in a crate. I’d much rather be out and about with my people, supervising all activities like the tiny queen I am. If you want a loyal, snuggly, goofy companion who will adore you endlessly, I think we should meet. Interested in adopting me? Head over to www.LOLR.org and fill out an application! ##2638535##

Story
Vader was adopted from us 6 years ago and recently returned. His skin was in bad shape but he was still such a happy little dude. A petite little bulldog at only 44#. We have had him on a regimen for his skin, regular baths, oral meds, salon dog food and he is doing great!  His smell no longer enters the room before he does!  He is the sweetest most wonderful bulldog. He’s fun, cute, stubborn and all the other things you would associate with the breed. We feel like we failed him the first time he was adopted out, so he needs someone that really knows and loves this breed. Someone that enjoys the maintenance they need on the regular.  If you are that person please fill out our application at www.carmaoc.org. You can call or text any questions you have as well. March 8, 2026, 8:40 pm

Story
Niko is a micro French Bulldog under 18 lbs with the sweetest, most loving personality. He’s a true cuddle bug who loves to sleep curled up right next to you and thrives on companionship.He enjoys beach outings (especially chasing the sand!), and his favorite treats are peanut butter and apples.⚠️Niko has severe allergies to chicken and grain, so he requires a strict diet. This is the hardest decision my daughter and I have made since Niko has been our companion but our schedules are very conflicting and we feel awful leaving Niko at home. Or bored. I love him so much please help me find a loving family.

Meet Zella, an English Bulldog with a heart as big as her adorable, squishy face. At 45 pounds, shes the perfect sturdy cuddle companion who believes her favorite place in the world is right next to her person.

Zella rides beautifully in the car and would happily join you for coffee runs, beach days, or weekend adventures. When you walk through the door, expect the sweetest welcome committee complete with a wiggly tail and full-body bulldog excitement. Zella needs to be the only pet in the home and with children over 10 years old. She thrives when she can soak up all the love and attention for herself. If youre looking for a loyal, affectionate, ride-or-die companion who just wants to be by your side, Zella is your girl.
