Click Here to Sponsor Me!  Adoption APPLICATION: Muttsinneed.org/adoption-application   ** Application must be completed prior to a meet & greet.                                   Our Adoption Process:Muttsinneed.org/adoption-process   Imagine being turned into the shelter and being red-listed simply because there’s just too many dogs.    This is the face we couldn’t say “no” to and we’re so glad because Moon has been nothing short of pure sunshine (despite her name being Moon). Moon is approx 1.5 years old, 37lbs and has a low-shedding coat.    She is so playful, friendly with dogs, and great with meeting new people. She LOVES kids. She has a very young, playful demeanor and would love an active family to take her out on adventures since sniffing and exploring on her walks are one of her favorite things.  Note: Moon is not hypoallergenic.   Apply to meet Moon at https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html May 21, 2025, 10:11 am

Hello there, Julian here! You see, I'm a dog of action, quite the go-getter. Now, I'm not all chaos, I promise. I'm also quite the sweetheart, a champion cuddler if you will. I'm looking for a family who can keep up with my zest for life, and provide plenty of belly rubs. If you've got a squirrel-free home and a love for laughter, I'm your guy. Let's make some memories! 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. December 3, 2024, 9:37 pm

Story
Please contact AnimalsRule (info@animalsrule.org) for more information about this pet.   Please be sure to read Marcy's biography below to learn what she needs in a home placement and how to apply.    Name: MarcyAge: DOB: 01/20/2024Sex: female, spayedBreed: Schnoodle. Schnauzer & Poodle mixWeight: 14 lbsHousebroken: Almost. Doing well in foster care. Sleeps well in a crate at night.Kids: 7 and olderOther dogs: yes, very friendlyCats: cat safe, but if your cat runs, she will chase.Housing: she needs housing with backyard space. Not suited for apartment or condo living.Personality: Marcy has a very happy-go-lucky personality.  Will bond very easily with her new owner. She is a sensitive, touchy feely, loving girl. •What we know: Her prior owners abandoned her in the yard when they moved. There were three female schnauzers that were taken in. Marcy can be placed in a home that already has another dog for her to bond with, or she can go with her sister Ellie. They are almost identical. She has good play manners with other dogs and loves a good walk. Here's the thing; even though Marcy is a year and a half, she has the mentality of a 6 month old puppy. So you are getting a puppy here with lots of energy, not much training. She needs more work with housebreaking and needs to be monitored throughout the day. So, if you are a full-time working person, this is not the dog for you. If you work from home 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, and you don't have much time to spend with her throughout your day, then this is not the dog for you. Marcy needs someone to commit to her for the first couple of months, so she can learn your household routine, become completely housebroken, and begin to settle in. She is young and has alot of energy and is very playful. She loves to sit on your lap on the couch and looks forward to bedtime, in your bed. She is going to drive a senior dog nuts with her energy, so she needs a younger dog in the home to bond and play with. is a darling dog, very sweet and very loving. She loves her person.  Ellie has a very happy-go-lucky personality.  Will bond very easily with her new owner.Medical: healthy, vaccinated, spayed, groomed, & microchipped.How to apply: Visit OUR website at AnimalsRule.org and fill out our online application of interest.    To see more pictures and video of Marcy, please check out and follow our Facebook and Instagram pages   Marcy can be seen by appointment, with an approved application.
