Check your Spam/Junk folder periodically for replies. ————————- This sweet boy was named Lil Bean aka Sneakers. Looking for his new forever home. Just 1yo Shih Tsu mix by the looks, hypoallergenic (non shedding). Weighs about 10-12 lbs Lil Bean was rescued from a life & death situation after he was abandoned in high desert fending for his lil life. He was in terrible matted shape. One of the worst cases we have seen but regardless of his past he is always in good spirit. Playful, friendly, a little shy but comes around quickly. Loves to play with other pups of his energy and be an overall goofball. Vaccinated, neutered, microchipped. He would do best in a home with a yard space where he can go potty often. Someone who can spend time with him. Another pup to play with would be a plus or frequent socialization. He would not be a good candidate to be home alone for long. No separation anxiety, just loves to socialize and go outside to run around. No access to a private space to go potty can be challenging. He would do best with someone looking for a playful joyful and energetic pup to be best friends and share memories with.

We got the call about an abanded family of little dogs here in Mexico. We went to the abandoned property and found a Mom and Dad in terrible shape and dead babies. Fred was a real trooper. He had to have all his fur cut off due to the matted insect infested hair and skin infections. He is now a loving funny little guy looking for love.  ##2050257##

Bodie is an adorable Papillon/Long-Haired Chihuahua mix, all black with a white stripe on his chin. He is 2-3 years old and weighs 10 pounds, with a sturdy body on mini legs. He is playful, affectionate and intelligent. He is neutered, current on shots, microchipped, also house-trained and crate-trained. Bodie is feisty and lets you know what he does and doesn’t like. For this reason, he would not be good with young children. He is not good with cats as he will chase them. He is shy at first but won’t take long to warm up and become your velcro dog. If you’re interested in adopting this charming little guy, email paprescuesocal@gmail.com for an adoption application. We adopt only in So. CA.
