Story
Meet Sonia: The Cutest Little Lady Looking for a Forever Home! 8 year old, 55lb Sonia found herself at the shelter in the summer of 2025. Our team at Dog Coalition LA was immediately smitten with her. In play groups with other dogs at the shelter she was described as gentle, tolerant, and social. She tired out quickly and would adorably let volunteers know when she was ready to leave playtime by sitting at the door. She was affectionate with handlers and thanks to a dedicated foster, we were able to get her out of the shelter and into a foster home in September. In her foster home, Sonia remains unsurprisingly adorable. She has become house trained, crate trained, and gained loose leash walking skills. She enjoys going on joint walks with her canine foster sibling. She is friendly, gentle, and easygoing. She recently had a simple surgery to remove a couple of benign masses that were bothering her. Overall, Sonia is a mellow and sweet older lady looking for a forever home that will love and care for her and find her as charming as we do. Sonia is fostered with another dog. With slow introductions and proper management, we believe that Sonia could do well in a home with another dog given the right fit, which we are happy to explore with you! We also believe she would make a wonderful solo companion. What You Should Know About Sonia: - A cutie pie 8 year old lady looking for her forever home where she can chill, cuddle, and get a nice daily walk or two! - Gentle and affectionate, ready to charm the pants off of the lucky people that get to call her their own. - Might be nice for someone looking for a low-medium energy dog. Sonia would be happy to hang while you work from home or away, have a nice walk in the neighborhood, and loaf around. To meet Sonia, please fill out an adoption form on dogcoalitionla.org/adopt and follow @dogcoaltionla for updates!

Story
We named him Spalding because his face looks like a catcher's mitt! He is so much fun and loves the attention. You can squish his face all day long and he will be your best friend. Spalding loves his walks. He weighs 55 pounds, and is pretty easy to be around. He does well with other dogs and initiates play with my female Staffordshire terrier. He can definitely benefit from leadership and training. Overall, he is a great dog that will bring you so much joy! All dogs in our program are up to date on all their shots, spayed or neutered, and micro chipped. Our dogs are in foster homes which enables us to learn more about them in a home environment. We do not place dogs on a first come first serve basis, but rather to the home best suited for them. An application, adoption fee and contract are required. Please direct all questions to adopt@crdogrescue.com. All our dogs can be met with an approved application. Thank you for looking at a rescue dog for your next family member.

These pups are in Pasadena, California too!

Story
Rosie is a gentle, people-loving girl who wants nothing more than to be by your side. Whether she’s leaning in for pets or quietly following you from room to room, she’s happiest when she’s close to her favorite humans. She may be a bit on the thin side right now, but she’s got a great appetite — especially when her kibble comes with a little wet food “gourmet upgrade”!Rosie is a dream on leash: calm, patient, and happy to stroll right by your side with only the lightest guidance. On walks, her energy stays mild and easygoing, making her the perfect match for someone who loves relaxed outings and quiet companionship.If you’re looking for a soft, snuggly soul who will be your constant cuddle buddy and loyal shadow, Rosie is ready to fill that role with so much love.Learn more about our adoption process.

Story
Brutus is a 4 year old, purebred, English Bulldog. He loves chewing on bones & dog toys, taking a dip in a small, shallow backyard plastic, kiddie pool on hot days eating watermelon. He also loves hanging out with people, female dogs & cats. Brutus enjoys watching TV and of course he loves….eating. He’s a real lover boy! Brutus would do best in a home without young children & preferably a female dog only. He doesn’t care for walks as his feet are tender from an infection he had as a puppy. Brutus is looking for a fun, loving forever home with a fellow couch potato🐾

Story
#A5258180 Bella is an 8-year-old, 58 lb spayed female Boxer with a beautiful fawn-and-white coat and a sweet, soulful face. Surrendered by her owner on October 24, 2025, Bella is described as incredibly sweet but also a little nervous and unsure in the shelter. She’s gentle and tolerant, but her body language in the kennel suggests she’s overwhelmed by the environment and needs time to decompress. Bella walks nicely on leash, appears housebroken, and has a calm, low-energy personality. She’s tolerant of other dogs but should be the only pet in her new home due to a prior history of conflict with a housemate. Bella would thrive in a quiet, adult-only home where she can feel safe, relax, and enjoy the comfort and companionship she deserves. -8 years old, spayed female, 58 lbs -Boxer, fawn with white markings -Owner surrender on 10/24/2025 -Very sweet but nervous and tense in the shelter -Low energy level; calm and easy to leash -Appears housebroken -Tolerant of other dogs but must be the only dog in the home -Adult-only home recommended -Adoptable with a health waiver for further vet follow-up -Sensitive, loving senior ready for a peaceful, understanding home   BELLA’S VIDEO: https://youtube.com/shorts/mlFnCsJvXhg For more information, contact volunteer Lor at  lor@unitedhopeforanimals.org     ------- United Hope for Animals (UHA) is a volunteer group and does not have a facility for animals.  This pet is part of our Shelter Support Program at the Baldwin Park Shelter.
