Story
Meet Lana! 🐾❤️* This gorgeous 10-year-old girl is a youthful spirit with a heart of gold! Despite her age, Lana's in excellent health and loves to play, run, and shower her humans with sloppy kisses. She's always up for a game of chase. Lana gets along with most dogs and is specially loving with puppies under a year old. She can get triggered by certain dogs, so a patient and experienced owner is a must. She's not super familiar with kiddos, but has been okay with respectful children - lots of adult supervision recommended. The ideal home for Lana is one with space to run, play, and explore! She thrives on strong leadership, structure, and lots of love. If you're up for the adventure, contact us to learn more about this sweet girl and schedule a meet-and-greet!

Story
Nella is a 7-year-old sweetheart originally from Texas. Despite what some may think, she’s definitely not a Great Dane—she’s likely more Whippet than anything else and tops out at around 50 pounds. She has spent her entire life around children of all ages and absolutely adores them, often greeting them with plenty of kisses. While she may give a few warning growls when someone comes to the door, she's never aggressive and settles down as soon as she realizes they're welcome guests. Nella still has plenty of pep in her step and enjoys the occasional zoomie session, but overall she's a low-maintenance dog who doesn't need much exercise beyond some yard time or a short daily walk. She could use a little work on leash manners, as she tends to pull when walking. One of Nella's funniest traits is how much she loves men—she bonds with them almost instantly. That said, she's happy to soak up affection from anyone and is perfectly content curling up next to you on the couch for a nap. She enjoys playing with other dogs and can get a little carried away because she doesn't always realize when playtime is over. However, she's very responsive and will stop immediately when redirected. ##2766931##

Hazel is such a cutie pie! This mid-sized dog is insecure in some situations so hopes her new family will advocate for her as needed.

Story
Meet Penny, a 6-year-old Basenji mix with a heart full of love and a spirited personality. Originally from Mexico, Penny made her way to California in December 2020 and was quickly adopted. However, she was returned when her previous family found out they were expecting a baby, and Penny wasn’t comfortable around the little one. Penny is a sweet and loving dog who thrives in the right environment. She’s fully house trained, never has accidents inside, and is a joy to have around. Penny enjoys long walks and playing with her toys, but she also loves relaxing and taking naps next to her favorite people. While Penny is not good with other dogs, cats, or kids, she is an ideal companion in a home where she can be the sole focus of attention. She’s working on her reactivity to other dogs on walks, so a patient family willing to help her through her anxiety would be the perfect fit. If you’re looking for a loyal and affectionate dog who will shower you with love and appreciate a calm, dog-free home, Penny is ready to become a cherished member of your family.

Story
This is Chance. He’d had a bit of a rough time before we took him into the rescue, but he’s overcome everything it had thrown at him. Very scared at first, Chance is sadly still a little wary of people He’s very sweet, patient and loving. He’s happy to just have a spot in a comfy home, doesn’t bark or fuss Chance loves to play and be around other dogs. A home with other dogs is a must. He’s very submissive, shares his toys and will turn away from overbearing dogs. He is a little guarded over food and needs to be fed separately He needs a home with patient humans and a doggie or 3 Chance is potty and crate trained will go happily into his crate when asked. He doesn’t do well on a leash, he will chew them and is not happy going on walks. A home with a safe fenced yard is required.

Story
Hello! We sadly are needing to rehome our dog. She is 7 years old, a Thai street dog mix rescue, about 30 lbs, no health problems, and up to date on her vaccines. She is a very low maintenance dog- she is house trained and loves to sleep on the couch or outside in the sun. She loves walks but doesn’t require them daily if she has a yard. She does not do well with other pets or children. We are having to rehome her due to ongoing snapping at our baby, and yes we have worked with trainers and behavioralist. Rehoming fee of $150 just to ensure she is going to a good home. Please feel free to comment or DM me with any questions or if interested.
