Story
We acquired Kingston from a friend of mine when he was just 6 weeks old. My wife and I live in Orange California and just recently had our son who is now 5 months old. Between our son and work (24 hour shift schedule) we are unable to give Kingston the attention that he needs from us as owners. We would love to keep him but we see no other option than to find him a new home. He’s a sweet dog, who’s very energetic, loves to play and go on very long walks. His shots are up to date. He is very good around our nieces and nephews and has never shown aggression towards anyone, adults or kids. He’s an amazing dog who deserves an amazing home.

Story
Meet Cashew, a 2-year, 10-month-old Akita mix who has been in our care since May 2025 and is still waiting for her chance at a forever home.Cashew is a high-energy dog who would do best in an active home that can keep up with her. She is smart and eager to learn, already knowing “sit” and “lay down,” and would benefit from continued training and structure.Cashew has a condition called masticatory muscle myositis, which affects the muscles in her jaw. She eats and drinks comfortably but may have some difficulty picking up toys. This does not stop her from enjoying life or being an active, engaged dog. She is looking for a home that understands her needs and is willing to invest time in her continued training and care.If you’re looking for an energetic and intelligent companion, Cashew may be a great fit.

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Bash <3He just turned 2 years old on May 11th and his last official weigh in was 107 lbs. He is already neutered and is house trained. He is affectionate with his people, protective of his home, and becomes very bonded. He needs to be the only dog in the home. He can have temperament issues when meeting new dogs and needs an owner who understands dog body language, structured introductions, and strong, confident handling. He is not a bad dog — he is protective, sensitive, and bonds deeply. In the right environment, he is incredibly loving and devoted.This decision to rehome him was extremely hard for me, but trying to find a safe home for Bash after becoming homeless several months ago is my main priority. I have tried everything to keep him with me while attempting to get stable again, but I need to prioritize his long-term wellbeing. Thank you for taking the time to read.

Story
2.5–3 year old male Akita/Jindo mix (about 90 lbs). This is a very difficult decision and I want to make sure he goes to the right home.He is:• Calm and relaxed when home alone• Energetic and social with people he knows• Healthy with no known medical issues• Loyal, alert, playful, and intelligentHe would do best in a home that:• Has experience with large or primitive breeds (Akita, Jindo, etc.)• Has secure, high fencing (he is an escape risk)• Has no other pets (or very careful separation setup)• Does not have small children• Can provide structure, consistency, and supervision outdoorsImportant:• He is not neutered• He has shown escape behavior, so secure containment is essential• This is not a beginner dog or an apartment dog• He needs someone who understands strong, independent breeds

Story
Hi, I’m Elphaba — yes, that Elphaba. I may not be green, but I definitely have the voice for the role. I howl, I grumble, I sing dramatic solos when the mood strikes. Don’t worry, I’m not plotting to defy gravity… just trying to get your attention. I can be a little quirky, a little witchy, and a whole lot of fun. Really, I’m just a lovable husky hoping someone out there is ready to star in a new life with me. Maybe we’re the perfect match — it only takes one day for your life to change… for good.I recently went on a Daycation and they said I did great! I had a pupcup, of course. I shared some giggles with my friendAnd I practiced my sploot. If you come see me and ask, staff will tell you about all the funny ways I like to sit and sleep. It`s an art form!
