Story
Meet Toby, a gentle, soulful little love who is just beginning to settle into life outside the shelter. Hes incredibly people-oriented and happiest when hes closequietly following you from room to room, trotting along behind you, then curling up at your feet wherever you land. Hes adjusting beautifully to home life, sleeping in a crate at night and doing well on leash. Hes working on housetraining and already showing great progress. As Toby continues to decompress, his playful side is starting to peek through, hinting at a fun, rompy personality underneath all that softness. Toby would thrive in a home where someone is around often or where he has another dog for companionship. Hes an affectionate, loyal little shadow who just wants to belong.

Story
Meet Dax! 🐾 Just look at that face! Dax has a big, happy smile, bright expressive eyes, and the cutest little eyebrows that give him a slightly goofy and very lovable look. He is one of the sweetest, most easygoing dogs you will ever meet. He wakes up every day with his tail wagging, ready for cuddles or simply being by your side. Dax has an easy, joyful energy that makes him a pleasure to be around. He is the perfect blend of playful and mellow. He is always up for a walk or an adventure, but he is just as happy to nap quietly at your feet. Dax is potty trained, crate trained, walks nicely on a leash, rarely barks, and does not chew. He knows his basic commands and genuinely tries to make his person happy. He is good with people of all ages, including children, and he gets along well with dogs and cats. He truly does not have a mean bone in his body. Dax’s past is sad, but he has come such a long way. He was found tied to a fence in over 100-degree heat after being abandoned by a breeder. Animal Control eventually picked him up after who knows how many days out there alone. Our rescue group pulled him from the San Bernardino shelter just before he was scheduled to be euthanized. Despite everything he has been through, he remains incredibly sweet, trusting, and full of love. Dax is a Puggle, about 1 year and 2 months old, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations and flea and tick treatments. He is healthy, happy, and ready for a forever home. If you are looking for a loving, fun, well-behaved dog who brings happiness everywhere he goes, Dax might be the perfect fit. ❤️ Please call or text A Ticket To Happiness Rescue (949) 331-6299 if you would like to meet him. Here are some of Dax's videos.

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.
