Story
Meet Copito!Copito is a sweet, playful, and mischievous little dog with a big personality! He loves playing with balls and stuffed animals and enjoys going for walks to burn off his energy. Copito is very affectionate and craves attention—he’s a companion dog who needs to be around people and will thrive in a home where he’s the center of attention. He would do best in a home with a patio, an owner who loves to play and go for walks, and a family that’s around most of the time to keep him happy.Due to his early separation from his mother, Copito can be very cloying and gets anxious when left alone. He is well-behaved with basic obedience (sit, stay, come, walk together), but needs a home where he can get plenty of playtime and cuddles. If you're looking for a dog to spoil with love and attention, Copito is your guy!This dog is currently in foster care in La Paz, Mexico, but will be transported upon adoption or foster placement. As a U.S. nonprofit, Hope 4 La Pawz, handles all logistics and provides full behavioral and medical info in advance.

He was rescued from an illegal breeding facility in South Korea, where dogs are treated as commodities instead of companions — but Pickle is finally safe and ready for a new beginning. At six years old, Pickle is in a wonderful, settled stage of life. He enjoys gentle walks, cozy naps, and staying close to his people.

With patience and consistency, Pickle is ready to build a deep bond with a family who will show him what true comfort and care feel like. &#226&#156&#168 Pickle is looking for a foster or forever home where he can continue to grow in confidence and finally experience what it means to belong.

Story
Meet Bingo and Peluche! This lovely bonded pair is so wonderful. Sadly they lost their home and are hoping to find a new place together. Bingo is a Shih Tzu and is around 2-3 years old. Peluche is a mystery mix, possibly some terrier, and is around 4-5 years old. These boys love each other! Both boys are loving and eager for human attention. They will quietly hang out with you while you are working at home and once they feel comfortable they will entertain each other with some playtime. They get along well together but protect each other when other dogs are involved, mostly when toys or favorite beds are involved.  They are good boys who don't ask for much. Peluche is a bit more timid than Bingo and needs a moment to warm up, particularly to men. With a bit of patience he will be your forever friend.  Both boys are neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Their combined adoption fee is $600 We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.  Thank you for stepping up to save a life! To expedite to meet with this dog, please go to our site at www.savinggreatanimals.org and fill out an application. We look at the first applications to arrive, so we hope to hear from you soon!

Story
Beacon is a six year old Shih Tzu. Beacon is a sweet boy. He is slowly learning to trust people and understand that he can relax and enjoy being a dog. He is not at all aggressive, just a little jumpy if you move too quickly around him. He will let you hold him and he has been so good and patient with meds and baths. He does not understand ‘outside’ or what dogs do outside but he is slowly working on that. He enjoys listening to white noise and nature sounds to help him relax and has even enjoyed watching some football on TV! Beacon would be a great companion for a calm household with lots of love to give. He currently sleeps on a blanket in a large bathroom. He sleeps through most nights with white noise playing. He also naps during the day. He is afraid of the the great outdoors, but is working on it. He’s really good about using potty pads inside and seems to like to wait to do it when you are there if possible. He is a bit nervous if you move too quickly around him but he is getting more comfortable by the day. He demonstrates no aggression at all. He hasn’t barked at cats or teenagers. He rides well in a car. Beacon is a cute, sweet little guy who is being so brave in this new chapter in his life. -----

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:

✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.

✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).

✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.

The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.

Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.

Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.

Story
Pooh Bear is a Shih Tzu/Bichon Frise puppy. He is very playful and enjoys running and interacting with other dogs. He is so soft and sweet. He likes to play, so plenty of good toys are important. He used to chew everything, but now that he has a raw hide, nothing else is of interest. He uses pee pads consistently and is learning to go outside. He has learned to walk on a leash, he will walk at least twice as far as you do checking everything on both sides of the sidewalk unless you are walking fast and then he keeps up.

He is an endless source of entertainment. He was a born interior decorator, but he has lost interest in that job. He loves snuggles and will curl up in your lap forever if you let him. He runs and jumps and plays with another dog or on his own and then falls asleep. He sometimes sleeps on his back and just looks up at you if he wakes up happy to have a belly rub. He is adorable and charming. It would be impossible not to fall in love with him. The kids in the neighborhood love him. He doesn’t bark often or hoard food. He is fine in the car. He is anxious to please and seems to understand English somehow.
