Story
HI - I'M PHOENIX! I'm a handsome and healthy 9-1/2-year-old Rottie-Dobie mix in need of a foster or forever home. I lost my previous foster home due to no fault of mine, and I really miss having people around to snuggle and take me for walks and other outings. A little bit about me: I was rescued from a shelter a couple years ago, where I was a shelter favorite, and am currently waiting for someone to adopt me. I weigh about 80 lbs. Despite my age, I am active and I'm a very loving dog. I'll do well with an active person or people who can take me for walks and hikes. I have many positive traits - I am affectionate, I walk well on a leash, and I am a loyal and sweet dog. I will be your best friend for life. I also prefer to have my person or people around, but that can be expected of most dogs! I am not a barker unless it is warranted. I can also be a bit protective of my people and our property, which can be a good thing. While I get along with dogs I know (especially female dogs around my size), I can be reactive on a leash toward dogs I don't know. However, I really do like female dogs - I currently love to hang out and go on walks with my girlfriend Darla, a Doberman. And I love human attention and affection - I am affectionate and caring. I'd do well with a strong owner, too. I weigh about 80 lbs. Please email for an application. I'm currently still in Southern California, but can be transported to Northern Cal.

Story
Meet NELLY! If you're in search of a laid-back companion, a movie buddy, and a loving family member all in one, Nelly is your gal! This amazing dog is open-armed to be a part of any family. Despite her guardian breed, she's not your typical guard dog – instead, she welcomes everyone with a joyful wiggle and a kiss. Nelly is a heart-stealer, especially with kids of all ages. At around 9 years old, she may have some mild arthritis, but thanks to pain management, you wouldn't even notice – she's living her best pain-free life! Nelly, a mama who came to us from the Central Valley, delivered 11 puppies on her first day with us. She's a large breed, weighing about 120 lbs, and with that size comes big rewards. Her personality is truly one of a kind – she'll entertain you for hours. A gentle giant, Nelly is looking for someone who'll shower her with the affection she deserves. Due to her size, she'd do best as the only dog in the home. She gets along well with dogs of similar energy levels or those who don't pay much attention to her. Small animals might trigger her prey drive, so caution is needed around them. If you're ready to open your heart and home to Nelly, head over to www.aarflove.org and complete an application. She's eagerly waiting to find her furever home, and it could be with you!

Story
01/23/26 14:45On Needs Rescue for visibility.1/16/26Truck is a strong, energetic dog with a lot of personality and enthusiasm! He responds best to experienced handlers who can help him manage his excitement. He can be mouthy and reactive when overaroused, so meeting him before adoption—especially if you have other pets—is highly recommended. With guidance and structure, he has the potential to be a fun, engaging companion for the right home.

Rottweiler American Staffordshire Terrier

Male, 6 yrs 6 mos

Size

Story
Meet Orso – Mr. Easy Peasy, He is a big-hearted, low-maintenance cuddle buddy looking for a low-key, chill home. 📍 Stats at a Glance: ✔️ Age: ~6 years old ✔️ Breed Mix: Rottie/Staffie/Pittie/Boxer blend ✔️ Size: 105 lbs ✔️ Energy Level: Low – a couple of zoomies or a short stroll, and he’s done for the day ✔️ House Training: A+ – totally reliable ✔️ Personality: Friendly and affectionate ✔️ Health: Neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped Orso’s journey hasn’t been easy—he found himself surrendered to the shelter on Christmas Day. While we don’t know his full past, he appears to have been loved (a little too much in the food department) - he came in obese and limping but PACC has taken care of both of those issues. He’s a gentle, loving soul who craves companionship, leans in for affection, and thrives on belly rubs. 💛 The Ideal Home for Oscar: 🏡 A calm, relaxed household looking for a teddy-bear to brighten the mood and lift your spirits 🐕 Orso is unpredicatable with dogs hence he needs to be the one and only center of attention 🐱 No cats—we’re unsure of his history with our feline friends and want to be respectful of everyone's time 🚸 Kids 10+ — because kids take time, dogs take time and families with little ones rarely have time for both Orso is one of the easiest dogs we've come across, in the right setting. His needs are clear and simple - a house with a fenced in back yard, and the occasional short sniff walk. He loves company but has zero separation anxiety and no destruction. Impeccable house manners. A retired couple who like to hang out at home and would love some company would be ideal. He's a simple guy, with simple needs!

BLITZ

Doberman Pinscher

Male, 2 yrs 5 mos

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
MEET BLITZ, an 85-lb stunning Doberman male who is waiting for his forever home. Blitz is a large Dobie, almost 2 years old. He is a dark red, almost chocolate color and is magnificent in appearance. Blitz is currently in training in the Los Angeles area to overcome some fears and quirks he has had in the past. He is affectionate with people he knows but in the past was tense and suspicious with strangers, especially if he is in a confined space. He can also be a bit stubborn, though his training is helping tremendously. Blitz gets along great with other dogs-- he has previously lived happily with a female Doberman in his foster home. Because of his size and strength, a home without small children is mandatory. Blitz has high energy and would benefit from having a yard, where he can run and play. Blitz is also hypo-thyroid so is on inexpensive thyroid medication, which will likely be forever. We believe Blitz is of European ancestry and like all Euro-Dobies, he has heavier bones and a larger head than the more petite American Dobies. Blitz is without question a lot of dog! But he is a lot of really good dog. Doberman or large-dog experience is a must for his adoption. Please email for an application.

WOOF! I'M RILEY! I'm a 3-year-old cute Boxer-Shepherd mix in need of a foster or forever home. I have dark eyes and it looks like I wear shades! I was recently rescued from a California shelter where I was pretty terrified - I sat in the back and looked at people as they walked by. But now I'm coming out of my shell. I have done great with other dogs so far and am quickly adjusting to be a happy boy. I weigh about 50-55 lbs. Can you foster or adopt me? Please email for an application.
