FTA app: https://form.jotform.com/201793643882060 The girl with the winning smile! Hey guys! I am Sussie, Sussie Q. I am a 4 year old, female Pug mix, spayed and about 11 lbs. Heard of the Chandler 55 case? Yes, I am a part of the disabled hoarded dog pack that was rescued from the monster house. With my sweet spirit and smile, you'd never guess what I have gone through. But only when you see my vet report! It's manageable I pawmise. I have Congenital Angular front limb deformity and Chronic orthopedic condition that affects mobility in hind legs that may have been caused by soft tissue injury that has healed. I do take dasuquin  for help. As long as I am being medically managed for mobility issues no surgery is necessary, but will not know know more until later. Surgery will be my adopter's financial responsibility if it is determined it is needed later by our future established vet. Regarding my training, I am leash trained for the 5-10 min walks I take due to leg deformities. The stroller with a soft blankie is my friend! I am pee pad trained. I am not crate trained. Now coming to my personality, the best part! My mama says that I am an absolute perfection! I love playing with dogs and toys, chewing on bones and sometimes your stuff haha but being all cute about it! I am a lap dog and you'd love my snuggles. If I could climb up on your shoulders and into your skin, I would do it! We can be best mates watching tv, all cuddling and being adorable. I am quite fond of dogs, but they have to have a sweet temperament because I can be the big mama. No cats please! I am very good with kids! I do get separation anxiety where I get anxious and scream, but having another dog completely calms me. I am obviously not a hiking dog, but I do make a good cafe date in my stroller. I am always grateful for my rescue and leaving behind that house of horrors. I do a lil dance when I get a new soft blanket and my zeal is infectious. I am the absolutely cutest little nugget that everyone falls in love with when they meet. I am looking for only the best home that will spoil me rotten because that is what this little princess deserves. If there are no dogs in the home I will need humans around for companionship. Any DINK couple around that likes to bring their dog everywhere with them? I am looking for a home with the best chew bones, softest blankets, and good sunbathing spots. If you think you have that X-factor, let's go get a drink together! My adoption fee is $300 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.

Story
Stewie is a 12.5-year-old pug who has been a deeply loved member of our family since we adopted him at 2 months old. He has spent his entire life in a home environment and is very bonded to people. Stewie is sweet, gentle, affectionate, calm, and people-oriented. He loves being near humans and enjoys companionship. As a senior dog, Stewie has slowed down from his younger, very active days. He has had two surgeries related to ataxia and hip dysplasia, which affect how long and how fast he can walk. Like many pugs, he is prone to ear infections and requires regular cleaning and occasional medication. With age, he needs quick, easy access to potty breaks. Despite this, Stewie is happy, food-motivated, loves treats, and enjoys cuddling and sleeping close to his people. We are hoping to find a patient, loving home or senior-focused care environment with a calm routine and easy potty access so Stewie can live his remaining years with love, comfort and dignity.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Foster or forever home wanted, meet Hugo! Hugo arrived at the Hesperia Shelter back on January 7th at just a little over three months old. He had no identification and no one ever came looking for him.  It's hard to believe but a fact of life in today's current animal crisis of overcrowded shelters, Hugo was in trouble. We couldn't let this puppy's life end before it ever started so we arranged to get him out of the shelter.  Hugo came in with another pug named Percy. Percy was about to meet the same fate and since here at Labradors and Friends, we don't leave anyone behind, he got a freedom ride too. They are your typical happy, wiggly, full of energy puppies. We don't know much more about them but will update as new information becomes available. If you are interested in meeting Hugo, please head over to labradorsandfriends.org to fill out an application. Hugo is located in Southern California. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 24, 2026, 12:48 pm

Story
Age: 2y Gender: Male Breed: Pocket Bully mix Weight: 40 Personality: He’s chill and a couch potato about 90% of the day. The other 10% he likes to run around the backyard and get his zoomies out and play with his dog friends. Boogie LOVES food and will eat anything and everything you give him, he’s a literal garbage disposal. He needs to be fed in a slow feeder so he doesn’t throw up his food from eating so fast because he likes to inhale his food. He should be fed separately away from any other dogs or else he WILL try to eat their food too. Friendliness: Dogs: Yes Cats: Yes Kids: Yes Education: Bathroom in training, crate trained, leash trained (but does pull slightly initially from excitement) Favorite Activities: FOOD! Walks around the block, car rides, cuddling and snuggling, giving kisses, belly scratches, ripping up empty boxes, KIDS! He loves kids almost as much as he loves food! Looking For: Boogie would do great in any type of household. He really loves his humans and especially kids and loves to be with his people as much as possible. He’s fully crate trained and has zero separation anxiety so he could definitely be ok with a working family too, as long as they promise to cuddle and spoil him when they’re home. Due to his breed, he can’t and shouldn’t go for super long and strenuous walks or hikes, but Boogie is always down for an adventure, he loves going places! He does great in the car and just loves being around people, especially if he gets belly rubs in the process. He’s great at bars and restaurants and loves the attention, so if you’re looking for a buddy you can take everywhere with you, Boogie is your boy! Special Needs: None If you’re looking for a lovable sidekick you can take just about anywhere, look no further – I’m your guy!  My adoption fee is $350 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.  If you want to take me home, please fill out the form on the website here: https://theanimalpad.org/adoption-application/.   ##2613955##

Story
Age: 1y4m Gender: Male Breed: Micro Bulldog mix Weight: 34 Personality: Super sweet and very low maintenance. He is so chill! It takes some time for him to warm up to new people, but once the trust is earned, he becomes very playful and affectionate. Friendliness: Dogs: No Cats: No Kids: No Education: Mostly Potty Trained, getting better by the day, and getting better at leash training Favorite Activities: He loves human attention, is very food motivated, and loves to play with his toys. He can play independently but loves a good game of tug-a-war with his people, too. Looking For: A loving and patient home who understands him and his breed requirements. He will need an adult-only home who are respectful of space, and help redirect him when needed. No cats please! Special Needs: Taking Prozac (~$5 for a month’s supply. Price depends on where purchased and market value) to help manage anxiety and fixation on objects while he continues his training. My adoption fee is $200 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.  If you want to take me home, please fill out the form on the website here: https://theanimalpad.org/adoption-application/   ##2180245##

Hi, I'm Baker! I was once a scared little pup, lost and alone on the side of a busy Las Vegas road. But lucky for me, kind people found me and brought me to safety. Now, I'm looking for my forever home, a place where I can feel loved and protected. I'm a 1-year-old mix, full of love and energy. I love snuggling up with my blanket and giving lots of cuddles. I'm a quick learner and already know how to go potty outside. I'm excited to learn about leashes and toys and explore the world with my new family. Ready to give me a forever home? Inquire about me today! We are also willing to transport him from Las Vegas to CA if needed. Please contact Rob robrhee@me.com 619-818-0754November 4, 2024, 4:09 pm
