Story
Charlie is a very sweet little guy who came to us after his family was in a fire. After having some initial bloodwork done at intake we discovered that his liver enzymes were very high. After seeing a specialist and getting some additional testing done we are sad to report that Charlie does have Autoimmune Hepatitis which does give him sadly only about 6-12 months left with us. He does have a temp foster but we are looking for an end of life foster or adopter for after the new year. He is a very sweet guy and we are so sad that this is his prognosis.January 5, 2026, 1:01 pm

Meet the cutest little guy around! He is a compact ball of love and we call him our "Walmart Greeter". Carson's person died a couple of years ago and he is needing a new home.

This little guy is part Shih Tzu part.... Bassett?? A short, stocky little man for sure. Don't let those little legs fool you though, he likes to run and play with the big dogs. Carson is housebroken, so the hard work is done for you! He is an adult with a lot of life left! Let him snuggle up to you and you can heal his little heart.

Story
I adopted Oso Bear in California when he was just 10 weeks old back in 2017. He is 9. I adopted him for my other dog who needed a friend. Oso is great with other dogs, he loves dogs. He is a very loving being, requires lots of love in return. He has a spunky personality which has always made us laugh and bring smiles to our day. He does have some separation anxiety, so if you are leaving him alone for more than 8 hours Oso is probably not the dog for you. I am looking for a nice home for him. He deserves someone who loves him like we have. Unfortunately, he and my newborn baby cannot coexist in the same home. He does not feel comfortable in the same house. Some dogs, this just happens and we've tried everything but realize that its for his own good that he finds a new loving home. No adoption fee, just looking for someone to love and take good care of him. Not fixed, but will get him fixed if that is important to you. He is a good boy
