Story
Meet Mommy Molly! Molly was found at a homeless encampment in Perris with her two little puppies. She will be ready soon for her forever home but we are taking applications on her now so as soon as he I ready she can come into your home brining love and joy. As Molly had been living outdoors it has taken her a bit to realize that it is okay to be an indoor girl and be loved. She has taken such good care of her puppies, Belle Starr and Suzy that as her foster Mom I am so glad to watch her grow in her confidence and her little wiggly butt and tail wag and kisses too! Molly is an approximately one year old pug mix who weighs about 20 pounds. She has learned to use the dog door and  is doing well potty training. She loves her foster friends and is doing well learning just how to be a pup instead of having to worry about whether her babies will be okay. Molly would love to be your next best friend! If you would like to meet Molly please call foster Kim 714 319-0802. Our dogs come fully vetted spay, chip, all shots including rabies.  Apply at www.GreenDogFoundation.com Email: greendogfoundation@gmail.com    April 23, 2026, 8:25 pm

Story
APPLY DIRECTLY ON OUR WEBSITE, https://www.karmicrescue.org You can meet and potentially adopt Happy on the next adoption event in Oceanside on the 25th of April, (next Saturday!) Happy was so named because he has a great attitude about life and everyone around him. Perfect companion buddy. The other dogs are his friends as long as they are nice to him, and we don't know about cats because there aren't any in the home. The foster's nieces visit from time to time and that is always a welcome site for Happy. He kinda has a little swagger to his walk and a bounce to his step. His tongue is long right! At first when he was rescued, we thought he might be an older dog, but the vet said he just has a long tongue. A few days ago, he had his teeth cleaned but not much had to be cleaned because they were already little shiny things! He'll be happy with one person, two people, or more. He really is a little flirt with the girls, so that is a plus but not absolutely necessary for a new home.

Honey is a gorgeous long legged Pug girl, 2 or 3 years old and 15 pounds.She is a perfect mix of energy and snuggle! She is sassy in a good way, can use a crate if you need her to and she loves her people! Honey has lived with other dogs her size and done great, she is playful with other dogs but also fine just ignoring them. She's not been exposed to cats in her current home, but if you have a cat, we can test her with the neighbor's cat. Honey came in as a stray, so we don't know what life was like before, but we know she thinks being a loved family member is pretty awesome! If you love the pug mixes, Honey would be a wonderful addition to your home! She has long legs for a Pug, lots of energy, happy demeanor, and enjoys the outdoors as much as being inside with you. Perfect companion girl, not a big barker.

Story
This little lady may roll instead of run, but she still makes sure she’s the life of the pawty! Olive was born with a neurological condition called degenerative myelopathy, which affects her spinal cord and has led to paralysis in her back legs. While the condition is permanent, it isn’t painful – and Olive doesn’t let it slow her down one bit! Whether she’s cruising around in her wheels or snuggling up for a nap, Olive proves every day that bravery comes in all shapes – and sometimes, with four wheels. These days, she rolls through life in her trusty wheelchair, happily exploring the world, soaking up sunshine, and charming everyone she meets. Olive is living proof that every dog deserves a chance.

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
Everyone, say hello to Cameroon — the tiny tornado of joy you didn’t know you needed! Cameroon is an 9weekold male Pug/French Bulldog mix (DNA confirmed, because of course he’s fancy like that). His fulltime job is being a puppy, and he takes it very seriously. His daily schedule includes wrestling with his siblings, pestering his mom, zooming around the backyard like he owns the place, and soaking up every ounce of human attention he can get. He’s loving, energetic, and loyal — the kind of pup who thinks every person he meets is his new best friend. Cameroon adores kids, cuddles, and collapsing into a nap pile with his siblings after a long day of… well, playing nonstop. Like all puppies, he’ll need continued socialization and training to help him grow into the best version of himself. And because he’s a snubnosed (brachycephalic) little dude, he’ll need to stay cool and avoid overheating. A home with another wellrounded dog would be a huge bonus — he loves having buddies. Cameroon has been vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped. He’ll be neutered when he’s old enough, so a neuter deposit may be required. If you’re interested in meeting or adopting Cameroon, head over to www.LOLR.org and submit an adoption application. ##2643136##
