Story
Scooby is a sweet middle-aged man looking for his forever home. Scooby loves to chill and relax when he is at home. He has been raised around other dogs, kids, and cats (although not his favorite). He loves to spend time outdoors soaking in the sun, but also laying with his human. His favorite thing is sleeping under the covers in his human's bed at night time and chewing on bones and toys. Even though Scooby has lost his sight, he has learned the word 'Up' when you want him to jump on the couch or bed, and also 'Step' when there is a step up or down that he needs to be aware of. He quickly learns his way around the home as well and would do best in an uncluttered home with limited amount of objects on the floor. Scooby is crate trained to stay in the crate during the day when humans are not at home. He does, however, prefer to sleep in the bed, rather than in the crate overnight. If you are interested in meeting and/or adopting Scooby, please fill out the adoption application and a super cool person from the rescue will contact you to schedule the meet and greet. ** The adoption fee is a tax-deductible contribution to our 501c3 rescue. This fee covers vaccines, deworming, microchipping, and spaying/neutering. Meet and greets will only be arranged after we receive a completed and signed application. Please note that we do not follow a first-come, first-served policy. Instead, we thoroughly evaluate each application to ensure the best possible fit for the pet, considering breed characteristics and the lifestyle of the potential adopter.

Ozzy

Pug Mixed Breed (Small)

Male, 11 mos
Riverside, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Small in size but big on personality, this cutie is an absolute blast to hang out with. Fetch is a favorite game, especially when treats are involved—very food-motivated and always ready to show off some skills. Known for having the best voice, there’s never a dull moment with this one around. Full of energy, silly charm, and good times, this pup brings the fun wherever those legs go. Around 10 months and already a total crowd-pleaser. 🎾🐾

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Apollo - The Once-Defensive, Now-Doting Uncle Apollo's journey to OURS wasn't exactly smooth. This one-year old pug mix found himself at the shelter, where he was immediately met with what he considered a very rude introduction - vaccinations. We humans know they're necessary, but Apollo wasn't shy about expressing his strong disapproval. His honesty landed him a "rescue only" label, and just like that, he was on borrowed time. Enter OURS. Understandably, Apollo was a little unsure at first. But then - almost overnight - he realized life with us wasn't so bad. In fact, it was pretty great. He's since taken on the role of "Uncle Apollo" to a crew of bottle-fed pug puppies and rambunctious terrier pups, and let us tell you - watching this once-defensive little guy get climbed on and loved by his tiny nieces and nephews is nothing short of heart-melting. Apollo takes a minute to warm up to new people. He might bark at first, but we like to think he's just telling you his story. And once he's shared his tale and decides you're part of it? He's the sweetest, most loyal kiddo around. Apollo is looking for a family who understands that trust takes a moment, but love lasts forever. Could that be you? Apply here to meet Apollo!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 1, 2026, 8:00 pm
