Story
Welcome Martin! He is approximately 7-years old and weighs just 7 pounds but he should gain some weight now that he is in our care. Martin was found as a stray and brought to a city animal shelter. Because he had been neglected he was shaved down. When his hair grows back he will require regular grooming. He would prefer to be your one and only. We will update his profile as we get to know him better. Martin is available as a foster-to-adopt to see if he would be a good fit for you. If you are interested in meeting Martin please first complete the online adoption application at www.greatpets.org. Martin's $250 adoption donation included his vet exam, blood work, vaccinations, neuter surgery, dental cleaning, microchip and flea treatment. March 26, 2024, 3:59 pm

Story
Adorable Junior is the best boy. He is sweet, playful and just a joy to have around. He loves to be surrounded by his humans so someone who works from home or is maybe "young" retired would be a great match. Junior is doing wonderful at his foster home and is doing great at potty training but he will need reinforcement in a new home. If you are interested in meeting Junior the first think you have to do is complete the adoption application on our website www.muttlycrew.org

Story
If you are interested in one of our dogs, please complete an application on line at www.ahome4everrescue.org Chester is a 1 year old, 15lb male ShihTzu, who was taken to the shelter after being found as a stray on the streets.   He can be timid and will initially shy away, but rapidly warms up.   He is a great little dog and will make a wonderful companion to someone.   He needs an experienced owner who will take the time to let him decompress and learn to trust.   Chester is still a very young dog and will do best with another dog to learn from.   If you are interested in Chester, please complete an application on line at www.ahome4everrescue.org.  --- Come meet our dogs on Saturdays at PetSmart in Costa Mesa from 11:30-2:30. All A Home 4 Ever Rescue dogs receive a wellness exam by our veterinarian and are up to date with vaccinations. They are spayed or neutered and microchipped before they go to their adoptive families. If you would like more information please email the Adoption Director at muellenbergerin@gmail.com   March 27, 2024, 1:35 am

Story
D.O.B. 9/28/2020 weighs 10 pounds.  Hi, I'm Wally! I'm a superhero, you know. Used to fight crime with my super sniffs and quick thinking. One day, I was battling the notorious Garbage Gobbler, a villain who was making the city a dirty, stinky mess. Despite my four legs, I outsmarted him, but during our epic showdown, I lost a leg. I didn't let that stop me, though! I continued my superhero duties, but soon realized I needed a sidekick. That's where you come in! I'm independent, but I love cuddles and belly rubs. I'm also quite the comedian, and I promise to keep you laughing with my silly antics. I'm gentle and mellow, perfect for relaxing after a long day. My loyalty is unwavering, and I'll always be there for you. My smarts are not just for fighting crime! Adopt me, and together, we can conquer the world! Please visit www.nostrayleftbehind.com to see our schedule for adoption events. All adoptions require an application and home visit. All of our dogs live in foster homes and are usually available to be seen at PetSmart in the Tustin Marketplace between 11:30-4:00 most Sundays. March 27, 2024, 12:29 am
