Ron is a delightful puppy who is eagerly looking for his forever home! Rescued from a high-kill shelter by Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue along with his brother Harry, Ron is now safe and sound in a foster home, waiting to find his perfect match. This charming pup was found as a stray, so his background is a bit of a mystery. Despite his uncertain past, Ron is full of love and affection, ready to shower his new family with endless puppy kisses and tail wags. Ron's journey to safety was truly miraculous - he was saved from the shelter on the day he was scheduled to be euthanized. Now, he's looking forward to a bright future filled with love, playtime, and lots of cuddles. If you're interested in meeting Ron and potentially giving him the forever home he deserves, please submit an adoption application on our website.

Story
Meet our sweet, beautiful girl Arya! She is approximately 6 years old and 68 lbs of pure love! Arya is super sweet, very affectionate, mellow, smart, and funny. She is the goodest girl who will do anything for a yummy treat! She absolutely loves her belly rubs and can often be found on her back, legs stretched out, waiting for her pets! She needs a little bit of time to warm up to a new environment or person, but once she gets comfortable, she will shower you with so much affection every day, everywhere. Arya was rescued from the Carson Animal Shelter (LA county kill shelter) where she was put on the euthanasia list after 3 months at the shelter. She has been in a foster home since leaving the shelter in late December. Here’s how to describe this sweet pea: - Walks great on leash (loves going on walks) - Non-reactive to other dogs on walks - Easy to train as she’s super food motivated (food will make her do anything ?) - Smart and picks up new tricks/toys quickly - Crate and house trained - Loves to spend time with her human. She’ll be happy just sitting next to you - Very good in the car - Very good with brushing teeth, cleaning ears, shower - Loves belly rubs and pets - Loves squeaky toys - Good with other calm large dogs - She takes a daily anti-inflammatory for her minor arthritis but has no problem going on walks and living a happy life! :) As Arya needs a little bit of time to warm up, an adults-only home is recommended. Adopt our bundle of joy! Arya had a very tough life so far and is so ready to embrace her forever family. Apply to adopt Arya on pacificpupsrescue.com!
