Story
Kai is a 2&#226&#128&#145month&#226&#128&#145old pug mix who weighs just 3 pounds, but don’t let her size fool you — this little girl has a huge personality. She’s the definition of adorable: bright&#226&#128&#145eyed, wiggly, and always ready to share her happy little spirit with anyone who looks her way. Kai is a naturally sweet, joyful, and affectionate puppy who loves being held, exploring new things, and soaking up all the love she can get. She’s playful without being overwhelming, gentle with everyone she meets, and already showing that classic pug charm. She’ll thrive in a home that’s ready for puppyhood — patience, snuggles, and lots of positive guidance as she grows. In return, she’ll give you endless smiles, tiny tail wags, and a lifetime of love. If you’re looking for a small companion with a big heart, Kai is ready to wiggle her way into your life.     For a complete list of our pets and photos please visit our website fochp.org  January 6, 2026, 6:43 pm

Story
Rescued as a stray. This girl is a senior with an attitude! She’s got a strong personality and gets along with other dogs so long as there’s no food around. Low maintenance- meaning not demanding and a good energy level. If this listing is still posted, we are still accepting applications. We do not do out-of-state adoptions. We do not hold dogs, please submit your application when you are ready to adopt. If you are interested in meeting any Poochmatch dog, please visit our website to complete an adoption application. It is in the ADOPTION folder at the top of our home page. Just fill in the blanks and SEND. We commonly receive multiple applications for a single dog. Nevertheless, only one applicant will be invited to meet a dog at a mutually agreeable appointment day, time & place. Usually Petsmart Yorba Linda or our Santa Ana location near South Coast Plaza. All adoption fees cover the mandatory and non-negotiable spay/neuter, rabies, microchip, microchip registration, full sets of core vaccinations (rabies and 1 set of distemper/parvo for adults, 4 for puppies) and deworming. Adoption fees vary based on age, breed, size and the costs incurred on the dog's behalf by us i.e. medical, behavioral training, etc.

Click Here to Sponsor Me!  Adoption APPLICATION: Muttsinneed.org/adoption-application   ** Application must be completed prior to a meet & greet.                                   Our Adoption Process:Muttsinneed.org/adoption-process   Meet Scamp, he's an approx 10 year old Puggle/terrier mix but don't let that age fool you because he's got the personality and energy of a 3 year old. Scamp came to us from the Riverside shelter where he was overlooked and euth-listed due to his age and the way he looked. He's had surgery in the past to help fix his jaw, as the vets think he was hit by a car causing him to look the way he does now although we think his underbite gives him character.   He's super affectionate and will give you a leg hug to show that he loves you. Scamp loves everyone and gets along with the dogs in his foster home. His ideal home will have someone who doesn't mind showing him all the love all the time and has a minimum 6 foot fence or lives in an apartment.  If you would like to have a dog that will love you unconditionally, please fill out the application: https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html November 22, 2025, 12:28 am

Click Here to Sponsor Me!  Adoption APPLICATION: Muttsinneed.org/adoption-application   ** Application must be completed prior to a meet & greet.                                   Our Adoption Process:Muttsinneed.org/adoption-process   Meet Jack — our 1-year-old 24lbs pug mix and certified ham with zero shame about it. He was surrendered to the vet by his owner because they couldn’t allow him to have the spotlight 24/7 (we actually don’t know truly why but it’s really no fault of Jack’s) If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live with a bossy toddler in a dog’s body, Jack is your guy. Want treats? He’ll tell you. Wants to say hi to a stranger? He’ll double-tell you. Wants to meet another dog? Oh, you’ll know.  Jack fully believes his humans are his personal staff…and honestly? He might be right. But before you judge him, wait until you see those weaponized puppy eyes. Or feel those unexpectedly slimy, apology-in-advance kisses. Somehow, he wins every time. He’s loud. He’s needy. He’s demanding. But he’s also hilarious, loving, and impossible not to forgive. Somewhere out there is a person who appreciates a dog with main character energy. If that’s you, Jack is ready to move in and start bossing you around immediately.    Apply to meet Jack at https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html December 23, 2025, 9:44 pm
