Story
Blue the silver unicorn is an incredibly sweet and lovable 2-year-old with an unfortunate start in life. Blue came to us in October 2022, severely neglected and emaciated. He is now up-to-date on his vaccinations, neutered, and microchipped, and ready to find his forever home or foster. Blue is a trainable and intelligent pup who loves to be rewarded with treats, which makes him a great candidate for leash and basic training. Blue is a loving companion who thrives in a one-pet household and enjoys having your undivided attention. Blue is more of a couch potato than an athlete, although he does love going for walks with his favorite humans. In the home, he has a chill personality and loves listening to audio books and soft music, especially if they`re playing while he lounges on his blankets misted with lavender scent.This handsome boy has a soft coat of fur and is always happy to wear a bandana, especially if it means getting a treat dipped in some peanut butter. Blue is house and crate trained, takes treats nicely from your hand, and loves baths. Blue is a playful boy and loves to run around in the backyard. Loves grass.We know Blue will bring so much joy to the right family, and we are actively seeking an emergency foster for him until his forever home can be found. We would love to see Blue happy and showered with love and kindness, and we hope you`ll consider opening your heart to this sweet silver unicorn

Waiting over 500 days Meet Gabby, the unique and charming bully mix who's been patiently waiting for her forever home. Gabby is a fascinating blend of 72% American Pit Bull Terrier, 15% German Shepherd, and 13% Boxer - talk about a winning combination! From her Pitty side, Gabby inherited a bit of stubbornness, which makes her like a curious toddler, always testing boundaries. But don't worry, her Boxer playfulness and German Shepherd smarts make her an incredible and fascinating companion! Gabby absolutely adores water! She loves to swim, and having a pool to splash around in would be a dream come true for her. Gabby's journey hasn't been easy; she's been in multiple shelters for over 500 days combined. But we know she just needs the right person to bring out the best in her. To thrive, Gabby requires consistency, and she's been doing great in foster homes. She's seeking an alpha owner who can provide structure and guidance, or even give her a job to do. With the right leader, she'll blossom into the most loyal and loving companion you could ask for. Gabby had the privilege of working closely and undergoing board and train with Chris at Walk n Roll K9. She lived harmoniously with other dogs and even a cat, proving she has the potential to be a wonderful family member. While Gabby is a true delight, we're seeking an adult-only home for her. No kids, as she thrives best in a calm and predictable environment. Are you the special person who can give Gabby the loving and structured home she needs? She's fun, loving, and always ready for any adventure that comes her way. Gabby will keep you on your toes and fill your life with joy and excitement. Help us get this long-time resident out of the shelter and into a loving forever home.

Story
Meet Fievel, the handsome 7-year-old boy who is looking for his forever home. Fievel is a sweet and sensitive dog who can be a bit shy when meeting new people. But once he gets to know you, he'll quickly become your best friend. Fievel is a socially dog selective dog, which means he does not get along with all dogs. He prefers the company of calm and gentle dogs who will give him his space. For this reason, he would do best as the only dog in the household. But he is wonderful walking with other dogs or meeting dogs in public. Despite his shyness, Fievel is a playful and active dog who loves to go for walks and play fetch in the yard. He's also a smart boy who already knows some basic commands and is eager to learn more. Fievel needs a patient and understanding family who will give him the time and space he needs to settle into his new home. He would do best in a quiet and calm environment without too much noise and moderate activity. If you're looking for a quirky and goofy companion who will be your loving and snuggly friend, Fievel might be the perfect fit for you. Contact us today to schedule a meeting!

Action! Adventure! Comedy! Fun! This pint-sized pittie girl is the complete package! Her favorite activity is tug and her favorite toy is a tennis ball or 3 that she likes to carry all at the same time in her mouth! She lives to play with her toys! But China is also looking for a person to give her all to, to connect with, and to love. She's as smart as a whip, kid friendly and loves to go for car rides. While she is tolerant of other dogs, they don't hold a candle to a human's attention! We think she would prefer to live as an only dog. Unfortunately her first few years of life were not very kind. She lived chained to a tree and was starved. This made her a little hesitant to trust other dogs and people, so she can be a little shy at first and sometimes reactive of other dogs when on leash. But once you get to know her, she's full-throttle fun and also a superb snuggler. She knows sit, down, touch, and high-five! She loves water, whether it's a kiddie pool or a river and somehow always finds the mud! If you're looking for some excitement and a dog who will make you laugh, look no further than China!

Sometimes we all need someone to cut us a little slack and take a chance on us. Tia, a 6 yr old petite little pittie girl, has found herself in that boat. She has spent the last 450 days in a shelter and while the first few months were not so bad (in fact she was such a good girl she was frequently chosen to be the office dog) as time wore on shelter life took it's toll on Tia. She had a few temporary foster homes, a surgery to help repair a ligament injury on her back leg and though everyone was just trying to help Tia, the whole experience left her feeling a bit out of sorts. But the good news is that once in a quiet home environment, with a person she trusts, Tia just curls up like a furry little couch potato and wants to drift off to dreamland while you catch up on your Netflix list. Tia needs stability, quiet and understanding so she can decompress and shake off the last year of her life. We are trying to help her find a home without kids or other pets, and a human companion that enjoys a quiet lifestyle. Tia comes with our full support and has a good human friend that is a trainer. So, whatever Tia and her friend or family need to succeed, we will will provide it. She just needs someone willing to give her that chance. If that's you, please fill out our online adoption questionnaire and we'll get in touch to have a chat about Tia.

These pups are in Goleta, California too!

Story
We`re excited to introduce you to Gypsy, our two-year-old female Boxer mix. Gypsy is a gentle soul with a heart of gold, and we`re eager to help her find her forever home.Gypsy may appear a bit reserved at first, as she can be slow to warm up. However, once she feels comfortable and secure, she blossoms into an affectionate and loyal companion. She thrives on building trust and forming strong bonds with her human friends.While Gypsy prefers the company of people, she`s still adjusting to interactions with other dogs. Due to her uncertainty around other canines, she would likely thrive as the sole pet in her new home. With time and patience, she may become more confident in social settings, but for now, she`s happiest when she`s the center of attention.One of Gypsy`s favorite activities is going on walks with her people. She`s currently learning leash manners and is eager to explore the world around her. Daily walks not only provide her with physical exercise but also offer valuable bonding opportunities with her adopters.We believe that Gypsy has so much love to give and is just waiting for the right family to come along. If you or anyone you know is interested in welcoming this sweet and shy Boxer mix into their home, please don`t hesitate to reach out.Let`s help Gypsy find the loving home she deserves!
