Story
Meet Virginia, a resilient and joyful 2-year-old female Boxer who’s ready to bounce her way into your heart! Rescued from a high-kill shelter where she landed on the euthanasia list due to a severe upper respiratory infection, Virginia spent weeks in the hospital fighting for her life. With incredible spirit and top-notch medical care, she made a full recovery and is now 100% healthy, spayed, fully vaccinated, and bursting with energy. True to her Boxer roots, Virginia is the definition of upbeat and playful. She’s boisterous, goofy, and still has that irresistible puppy-like sparkle at two years old. Whether she’s zooming around the yard, tossing her toys in the air, or leaning in for a full-body wiggle, her happiness is contagious. Despite all her silly energy, Virginia has a remarkably gentle and patient side that shines around children. She’s protective yet soft, making her a natural family dog who seems to understand little humans need an extra dose of care. Her sweet, loyal nature means she bonds deeply with her people and is always ready to be your shadow, your comedian, or your guardian—whichever the moment calls for. Virginia has already proven she’s a fighter with a heart of gold. Now she’s looking for her forever family to share all that love and zoomies with. Could that be you? This goofy, brave, tail-wagging girl is ready to make every day brighter—are you ready to give her the happy ending she’s earned?

Story
Maya is a kind, intelligent 4-year-old American Bulldog who bonds deeply with her people. She is a loving girl who thrives with structure, consistency, and having her own space.Due to recent changes in her current home, including the arrival of a new baby and limited ability to manage separate spaces in an apartment setting, Maya would do best in a home where she can be the primary focus. She needs an environment that allows her personal space, clear boundaries, and a calm routine to help her feel secure and confident.This rehoming decision has been made with great care and love, and solely in Maya’s best interest. Her family is hopeful to find a home that can meet her needs and give her the stability she deserves.Maya would be a wonderful companion for a household that understands the breed and can provide her with attention, structure, and a peaceful environment.February 5, 2026, 6:17 pm

Story
MooMoo was found as a stray near the Lexus dealership in Riverside. A good Samaritan brought him home. The shelter was notified, flyers put up, posted in multiple lost and found sites, but no one has come forward to claim him, so he is now looking for a family that will be more careful with him.    He is about a year old and weighs approximately 30 lbs. MooMoo is very playful, crate trained and seems to be potty trained. He hasn't had any full intros to other dogs yet. November 23, 2024, 12:20 am

Story
Sonny, an American Bulldog mix, was wandering down a busy street near a homeless encampment with no owner nearby. A woman driving by cared enough about Sonny to pull over and take the time to scoop him up. He was extremely dirty when he was found, and it’s very possible he had been living on the streets. This compassionate lady brought Sonny to AALOC for safekeeping until he finds his new forever home. Sonny is a lovable guy who enjoys attention and affection. A warm, sudsy bath uncovered his true handsomeness: Sonny is black and white with black button eyes and a black nose, accented with a bit of pink. He is a large dog, weighing in at about 70 pounds and is very strong. We feel Sonny would benefit from some basic training and needs an owner who could provide him with the exercise and discipline that would provide Sonny the best life. Please complete an application to adopt Sonny at www.AALOC.org. Once your application is reviewed and approved, we will contact you to make an appointment to visit us at AALOC to meet Sonny and get to know him a bit. Adoption donation includes spay/neuter, vaccinations, and a microchip. Applications require a veterinary reference and home visit. We adopt to residents of Orange County, CA and surrounding areas. Please note: For families with children, we require children to be 10 years of age or older, although exceptions are made depending on the circumstances. For more information on our adoption policies visit our website at www.AALOC.org or contact us by e-mail at aaloc@aaloc.org.

Meet Ragnar, a 2-year-old male Boxer-Staffordshire terrier mix who's overflowing with kindness and joy and ready to become your new best friend! Ragnar was rescued from a high-kill shelter literally minutes before he was scheduled to be euthanized—all because of a severe upper respiratory infection that had landed him on the red list. Weak, scared, and running out of time, this brave boy got his miracle. Pulled at the eleventh hour, he spent weeks in the hospital fighting for his life. With incredible spirit and excellent medical care, Ragnar made a complete recovery and is now 100% healthy, neutered, fully vaccinated, and bursting with that signature Boxer energy. Ragnar embodies the perfect blend of playful energy and gentle affection and the most adorable nose boops and amazing full on hugs. He's a walking bundle of happiness, always eager to bring smiles and cuddles to your day. Yet he's also remarkably tender-hearted and patient, especially with kids—he instinctively knows to be extra soft and caring around little ones. Loyal to his core, Ragnar forms deep bonds and loves being by your side, whether as your entertainer, devoted shadow, or protective companion. His sweet, loyal nature means he bonds deeply with his people. Having overcome so much, this sweet, tender and resilient warrior deserves his perfect forever home. Are you the family he's been waiting for? Open your heart to Ragnar—he's more than ready to fill it with endless love and wagging-tail adventures! Are you ready to open your home and heart to the dog who never gave up?
