Story
Hi! My name is Annie. Not too long ago, I was running around the streets of Beverly Hills, hungry, scared, and very lost. I didn’t know where my human was or how to find my way home. Then one day, a very kind woman called out to me. Her voice was gentle, and I was frightened and alone… so I ran right to her. Best decision ever! Now I’m being fostered in a loving home where I get fed twice a day (yum!), have a fun canine playmate, and am even learning some training I never had before. I really enjoy walks, playing with my doggy friend, and relaxing knowing I’m safe and cared for. I’m a happy girl who loves humans and gets along great with other dogs. I love the dog park! I’m not much of a barker — honestly, I don’t bark at all. I might whine a little if I want something, and I do an occasional happy howl when I see food coming my way (can you blame me?). I dream of a forever home where I can get lots of love and attention and maybe another canine playmate. I adore hugs, long walks, learning tricks for treats, tummy rubs, playtime, and being close to my people — basically, I just really love love. If you’re looking for a loyal, sweet, joyful companion… I’m your girl. Love,Annie [Annie was born in April 2025 and weighs 60 lbs.] If you'd like to meet Annie, please contact Betty: (818) 489-0532 or bkmakeup@yahoo.com Note: This is a courtesy posting for our fellow rescuer, which means that even though this animal does not belong to our group, we are here to help those who need to find a home for their animals.

Story
Oversized teddy bear seeks snuggle partner. Cuddly, smart, and eager to please, swipe right if you can handle this high energy heart with a soft side. Hatchi’s story is heartbreaking — he came into the shelter with his brother, but when their owner returned, they only took his brother… leaving Hatchi behind in a high-kill shelter. He soon found himself on the euthanasia list. Hatchi is now in a loving foster home and is looking for his forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and supported again. Hatchi does require eye drops daily for the remainder of his life. In our dream world, Hatchi would find a human that would help him feel confident and secure in a FINALLY stable environment.

Story
Atlas is a sensitive, intelligent husky mix who forms deep bonds once trust is established. He thrives in a calm, predictable home and is emotionally intuitive—very in tune with his person. He’s had some anxiety in the past and can show resource guarding when unsure, so Atlas needs a patient, experienced dog owner who values consistency, gentle guidance, and trust-based training. He does best with clear communication and reassurance, not harsh methods. With the right match, Atlas is an incredibly devoted companion who will reward your patience with loyalty and love 🤍
