Story
Meet Yogi! Yogi is a low-key sweetheart with a heart full of love for the people he trusts. If you're looking for a loyal companion who wants nothing more than to curl up at your feet, soak up belly rubs, and be your shadow, Yogi might be your perfect match. Like many sensitive dogs, Yogi needs a little time to warm up to new people. He thrives when introductions are slow and pressure-free, and once he feels safe, his affectionate personality shines. He's smart, eager to learn, and already knows several commands, including sit, stay, come, down, go to bed, and go to place. He's even working on "drop it!" Yogi enjoys a relaxed lifestyle. Most of the day, he's happy napping nearby, but he'll surprise you with short bursts of playful energy for a game of fetch or tug before settling back in for another cuddle. On walks, Yogi is easy to handle and doesn't pull. He's very responsive to his person—especially when high-value treats are involved! Because he's nervous around unfamiliar dogs, he may bark or become excited when he sees them. With slow, thoughtful introductions, Yogi can make dog friends and has even done well at the dog park, though he's still building confidence and isn't quite ready to play with every dog he meets. Yogi would do best with an adopter who understands that confidence takes time to build. He has some separation anxiety and prefers having his people close by, but he's making progress. He's mostly house-trained, sleeps comfortably in his crate, and continues to improve with patience and consistency. If you're willing to give Yogi the time he needs to settle in, you'll be rewarded with an incredibly loving, devoted best friend who will happily trade endless belly rubs for unconditional loyalty. Could Yogi be the missing piece of your family?

Story
Meet our little whirlwind of chaos and charm—a pug puppy with a BIG personality packed into a tiny, squishy face. This outgoing, high-energy girl is always on the move, ready to turn anything she finds into her next great adventure (or chew toy). She’s incredibly active and absolutely loves attention. If you’re looking for a calm, low-key companion, she’s probably not your girl—but if you want a hilarious, lively sidekick who will keep you laughing (and on your toes), she might just be perfect. For the right person, she’ll be an unforgettable best friend.

Story
Polly is an adorable young pug who was found wandering the streets of Huntington Park, and now she’s looking for a foster or forever home in Los Angeles. While we don’t know her exact age, Polly is believed to be around 1–2 years old. She has likely had at least one litter in her short life, but those days are behind her. Now it’s her turn to be loved, cherished, and spoiled. Polly has the sweetest, gentlest personality. She loves being close to her people and will happily follow you from room to room just to be near you. She is the definition of a velcro dog and would much rather snuggle with her humans than spend her day roughhousing. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs, cats, and has even been around a rabbit without showing any interest. While she enjoys the company of other animals, she’s more of a social butterfly than a playmate. You’ll often find her quietly hanging out alongside other dogs rather than engaging in rowdy play sessions. If you’re looking for a loving companion who wants nothing more than to curl up beside you, follow you on your daily adventures, and shower you with affection, Polly may be your perfect match. 📍 Available for foster or adoption in Los Angeles. Send us a message to learn more about Polly and how you can give this sweet girl the happy ending she deserves.

Story
Bishop is a sweet, gentle 5‑year‑old Bulldog who loves people and enjoys being close to his humans. He has a calm, affectionate personality and does well in a quiet, predictable home. Bishop prefers short walks and has some noise and car‑ride anxiety, but he settles with reassurance. He can be reactive when passing other dogs, so he’d thrive as the only pet or with slow introductions. He has a history of urinary stones and does best on his prescription urinary diet. He also has mild skin and ear sensitivities that are easily managed with routine care and flea prevention. Bishop is a loving, loyal companion who just wants a comfortable home, steady routines, and someone who appreciates his gentle nature.

Story
My husband and I purchased Chapo, a lilac and tan English Bulldog, from a breeder in May 2022. Chapo was very social and friendly. After my husband‘s hospital stay and rehabilitation at home, Chapo became overly attached and protective of me and insecure around other dogs and some people. He began to act out at home, taking towels, pieces of clothing and or toys and becoming aggressive when attempting to take the items back. Most of the time he is a very loving dog who loves snuggling and fetching his frisbee. He needs a fresh start at a loving home with an owner with more patience, experience and energy to train him than I have the capacity to give him at this time. He has been loved enormously. My heart breaks having to rehome him. The hope is that he goes to a home that is knowledgeable about the bulldog breed and the needs they have compared to other dogs.

Story
Hi there, I’m Cowboy 🤠 I’m a 10-year-old, 60-pound neutered bulldog/pitbull mix with a big heart and an easygoing soul. Even though I spent most of my life as an outdoor dog, I’ve discovered that I really love the good life indoors—and I’ve taken to it like a pro. I landed at the South LA Animal Shelter on Valentine’s Day (yep, a lover boy through and through ), was later transferred to West LA, and then headed to my foster home on 12/23. Since then, I’ve been showing everyone just how sweet and wonderful I am. In fact, I’m such a pleasant, easy foster that even my foster dad—who is very picky about foster dogs—is totally happy having me stay! I’m completely house-trained and very polite in the home. I walk right into my open crate to snooze, sleep through the night without a single peep, and I rarely bark—only if something really unexpected startles me. I love to play fetch, chew on (and sometimes enthusiastically destroy) toys, and I can happily entertain myself when needed. I adore my female foster fur-sister and cover her in smooches all day long. I’m playful, affectionate, and full of love. I’m also great with teenagers and their friends, friendly with strangers, and just an all-around good guy. I even love water play—splashing is a blast! I know a few commands already and I’m eager to keep learning. I do pull on leash right now, but I wear a good harness and will be working with a trainer to polish my walking skills. I haven’t met any cats yet, so that’s still to be determined. If you’re looking for a loving, playful, well-mannered companion with a heart of gold and a face you can’t help but smile at, I might just be your guy. I’m ready to be someone’s forever Cowboy. Much Love, Cowboy
