Story
Our dog is a protective but very friendly companion who loves to jump, play, and be the center of attention. He enjoys being rubbed and thrives on affection. He is also very smart and learns quickly! He will be 3 years old in February 2026. We are looking for an experienced dog lover who can give him the time, care, and attention he deserves. He would do best in a home where he can be active, loved, and part of the family. He'sbeen with us from 8weeks old. He seasonal allergies that comes and go. We use a shampoo that helps with this. His breed is known for it so it's not unusual. He is loyal, playful, energetic, and intelligent.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application HEADLINER : Lively, Lovely, LaLa, aka Lala-palooza, Lala-pop! PERSONALITY : It's hard to believe that Lala hasn't been snapped up as yet. She's smart and loves everyone she meets. This energetic girl loves fresh veggies, fruit, ice cubes and a vigorous "butt scratch." Have you ever had that friend or relative that overstays their welcome? You know you have. Do not despair as there is a solution. Lala definitely has the bulldog "toots" that are guaranteed to clear out a room (or unwanted guests). Just remember to "breathe through your mouth". :) If you're looking for a dog with the personality of a potato, Lala is not the dog for you; lazy is not in Lala's DNA. If you want a hiking or running companion or a dog (with training) that would excel in lure coursing, agility, fly ball or any other high energy sport, Lala's your girl. Ahhh, if only there were a way to harness all that energy. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES : Lala is a high energy pup that loves to fetch... though she hasn't quite grasped the idea of releasing yet, she is working on it. Lala is a pup that never passes up the opportunity for a good game of tug of war. MEDICAL ISSUES : None. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME : Lala would do best in an active home with a fenced yard where she can run around to her heart’s content and burn some of that high energy off. Lala can quite play rough with other dogs. A home where she the only dog soaking up the attention or a home with another large dog that matches her energy would be best. Kids older than 12 would be best as Lala may knock a smaller child down. Lala would greatly benefit from positive reinforcement obedience classes. Though Lala loves to go for a ride, she does get car sick so best not to feed her before she hops in the car.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Story
Meet Lucy — 79 pounds of pure sparkle and sass. 💅💎 This 7-year-old Bully mix didn’t just arrive from the shelter — she made an entrance in her hot pink, rhinestone-studded collar like the diva she was born to be. Think “Real Housewives,” but with more slobber and better cuddles. Her foster shared that although Lucy is big, she is not a big presence in the house. She is clean, housebroken, crate trained, non-destructive. Not high energy. And she completely ignores the cats!! If you’re looking for a dog with star power, a heart of gold, and a flair for the fabulous — Lucy’s your girl. ✨ Questions About this Animal?

Story
Adoption Fee Covered + Free Training! Great news! Yoyoma's adoption fee has been fully covered by a generous supporter, and OPH is including six virtual training sessions with a certified trainer during the first 60 days to help set you both up for success! Yoyoma is 9 years old and has been in foster care for awhile, because she wants to be your one and only loyal companion. She would like to take naps and watch TV with you. When it's time to exercise, playing ball is the activity of choice in a fenced yard, the higher the better. She'd like to take walks on a leash, but doesn't mind staying close to home. Sniffing to discover new smells rather than long walks is just fine with her. She would rather be with you than in large crowds as she is cautious with strangers, but once she gets to know them in familiar surroundings, she is ready for belly rubs. She has played with the fosters larger dogs but prefers to be the only dog in your family. The fosters grandchildren have played ball with her and she likes how they tell her to sit first then to retrieve. Rules and boundaries help her to feel comfortable. She has been waiting for awhile in rescue but only because she is waiting for the right family. If you think you are the right one for her please fill out an application. Athletic, Not Hyper but can be Energetic * Knows some obedience * Can walk on on loose leash * Goes in crate on command * Potty trained (perk! will go in bad weather) * She is Cautious with strangers and needs slow introductions * Needs an experienced dog handler * Muzzle trained, wears muzzle during vetting for prevention * Prefer to be the only dog And guess what, I am SO special that I am eligible for an extended trial adoption. You check me out and I check you out. If that all sounds great to you, let's meet. Please apply to adopt me today.

Story
ADOPTION FEE WAIVED!! Meet Bella: Your New Best Friend! Bella, a lovable Hound/English Bulldog mix, is a 2-year-old bundle of joy who believes her rightful place is curled up on your lap. Weighing in at 56 pounds, this sturdy girl loves a good play session followed by a cozy nap. Adopted as a puppy at just 8 weeks old, Bella is fully house and crate trained and has settled into her role as the perfect companion. Bella’s sweetness knows no bounds. She has a heart of gold, gets along wonderfully with kids and other dogs, and is just an all-around gentle soul. As for cats, she hasn’t had the chance to meet one yet due to her mom’s feline allergy, but we’re confident she’d be just as loving with them. Bella is a true family dog and has a way of making everyone feel like part of the pack—sometimes even forgetting where her boundaries are (because she's just that loved)! Now, Bella is looking for her forever home—one where she’ll get all the cuddles, love, and maybe a few extra treats. If you’re ready to welcome this affectionate pup into your life, she’ll surely bring endless joy and wagging tails. And about that couch... Bella is on the lookout for a comfy spot, whether it’s next to you or in the sunniest corner of the room. So, if you have room in your heart (and on your furniture), Bella would be forever grateful for a place to call her own. To meet this charming girl, please fill out our pre-adoption application at www.littlebeansorphanark.com. Bella can't wait to find her perfect match and share her love!

Story
Alamo (‘MoMo’) is a sweet, young blue-nose American Bully with a lot of love to give. She enjoys time in a fenced in yard doing zoomies, sniffing & exploring. She also loves her antler/chew bones, Kong toy, rope/squeaky pull toys & playing tug any chance she gets. She has a soft, shiny grey and white coat & is 5 yrs old. She would thrive in a home experienced with bully breeds & as an only dog. She knows: sit, stay, down, come, fetch/drop, shake, kiss & learning new commands every day. She is trained to sit before eating meals or taking treats and is housebroken. At 74 lbs, she needs a strong leader/capable handler on walks. She is responding well to training that would be best continued in her new home. She is spayed, microchipped, & up to date on all vaccines/vet care. She was purchased as a puppy from a breeder by her first owner; he has moved to a place where dogs are not allowed, so I am currently fostering her until her forever home is found (I am unable to keep her permanently).
