Story
Rozzy is a young Shih Tzu–terrier mix with a heart full of sweetness and a serious love for attention. He’s the kind of pup who gently asks for affection and happily soaks up every pet he can get. Food motivated and eager to please, Rozzy will be a fun little companion to bond with and train. During his time at the rescue, Rozzy showed just how easygoing he is. Despite people coming and going all afternoon, he didn’t bark at all—quietly observing and taking everything in stride. He was especially lovely around a group of differently abled volunteers, calmly sharing the space and enjoying the company. Rozzy can be a bit cautious at first, especially with new people, but give him a moment and a calm environment and he warms right up. Once a dad and son sat down, Rozzy happily went over to say hello on his own terms. He’s curious about toys (as long as they don’t squeak!) and overall just an affectionate, happy little guy. He’s comfortable being picked up, held, and carried, making him a great match for someone looking for a loving companion who enjoys closeness and connection. Rozzy would thrive in a gentle, patient home where he can continue building confidence and getting all the love he deserves. If you’re looking for a sweet, quiet, and affectionate pup to join your life, Rozzy might just be your perfect match. 💛

Story
Meet Don & Julio! 🐾🐾 Don and Julio came to us together from the Merced shelter and are hoping to find a home, whether together or seperately. These two are easygoing, low-energy companions who enjoy a calm, relaxed lifestyle and being close to their people. They are family friendly, affectionate, and motivated by love and attention. Don and Julio do well with gentle corrections and can be left alone for up to 4–6 hours, making them a great fit for a home with a steady routine. They would do best in a cat-free home, where they can continue to settle in and enjoy the comfort of being together. If you’re looking for a sweet, mellow duo to share your life with, Don and Julio could be the perfect match. 💙

Story
Coco is a sweet, gentle 12-year-old senior boy with a heart full of love and a mellow soul. This quiet little guy is looking for a calm, caring home where he can be someone’s constant companion. Coco is a dream housemate. He has excellent manners, is house-trained, and simply enjoys being near his person. Whether he’s lounging in the sun, napping beside you, or keeping you company on a quiet afternoon, Coco brings a steady, peaceful presence to your home. He especially loves relaxing outdoors and rolling in the grass, making him a perfect match for someone who enjoys a laid-back lifestyle. Both of his pet sitters absolutely loved their time with him, describing him as sweet, friendly, and a pleasure to care for. He travels well, perks up when it’s time to go for a car ride, and gets along great with kids and other dogs. Coco does have some separation anxiety, which he manages well with a daily medication given at breakfast. When you’re home, he’s calm, happy, and content just being by your side. Medical Notes: · Blind in his left eye; receives daily eye drops to manage glaucoma and support tear production · Prone to yeast infections in his ears, which are manageable with regular care · Takes daily medication to help with separation anxiety · Neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations Coco’s ideal home would be a peaceful one—possibly with an older adult or someone who’s home often—where he can enjoy love, stability, and the companionship he craves. If you’re ready to welcome a sweet senior into your heart and home, Coco might be your perfect match. Contact Linda (linda@3rrescue.org) to learn more about adopting this lovable little guy. The adoption application and process can be found at https://www.3rrescue.org/adopt/adoption-process. html. Coco is in foster in Palm Springs, CA. However, transport can be arranged.

Story
Meet Gigi, our senior sweetheart with a show-stopping underbite and a heart to match. This charming lady may be a little timid when you first meet her, but give her a moment (and a few gentle pets) and she’ll melt right into you. Once Gigi knows she’s safe, her sweet, affectionate side shines; she loves cozy cuddles, soft blankets, and quiet companionship. Gigi is the kind of dog who enjoys life at a relaxed pace, soaking up love and returning it tenfold. Her expressive face and adorable smile will steal your heart before you even realize it’s gone. She’s perfect for someone who appreciates a calm, loyal friend and understands that the best relationships are worth waiting for.
