Story

This adorable, fluffy pup found himself at a local shelter after his family had to move. Shaboozy is an 11-month-old German Shepherd and Akita mix with a bright future ahead of him. He has previously lived with both young dogs and small dogs and did well in those settings. Shaboozy will thrive in a home that’s committed to training and familiar with working or guardian breeds, as he’s still growing and learning and will benefit from guidance and structure to become a well-adjusted adult dog. With the right family, Shaboozy has all the potential to be a loyal, loving companion. Shaboozy is currently at a local shelter. If you’re interested in meeting or learning more about him, please contact Four Legs Good in Pomona.

Story

💔 DESPERATE PLEA – SENIORS NEED A MIRACLE TOGETHER 💔 These two 7-year-old bonded seniors have lost everything. They spent their entire lives together with the only family they ever knew—until their owner passed away. Now, they are dumped, confused, and facing an uncertain future, through no fault of their own. They are sweet, gentle dogs who rely on each other for comfort and safety. Separating them would be heartbreaking—they are all each other has left. Important details: • Must be adopted together • No other pets in the home • Both are loving, calm, and well-mannered • Seniors who deserve peace, not another loss These dogs do not belong in a shelter. They deserve a quiet home, a soft place to land, and someone willing to give them dignity after such a tragic loss. 🙏 Please—be their miracle. PLEASE HELP TEXT KAREN 4136298152
