Story
Tulip is about 5 yrs old and 60 lbs. She was adopted as a puppy and stayed with her family for about 3 years. Unfortunately her family was not the right and she ended up fighting with the other resident dog. They decided to dump just her. And keep the other dog. Tulip has had basic training as a pup and knows sit, stay, down, wait and place. She walks great on leash and loves every person she meets. She loves to play catch and run around. But she would be just as happy snuggling with her people. She would do great in a home with boundaries and structure. She would also prefer to be the only animal in the home. But don’t worry, she has all the love you need!March 27, 2024, 4:11 am

Story
When we found Dixie she had almost no hair. Her skin was horribly infected and painful. With baths and medications she is now well under control and pretty easy to maintain. She will need continued care to not end up with issues again as there are likely underlying allergies involved. She’s easy to treat and takes her baths well. Dixie is in a foster home with other dogs and cats. She is a great dog!  She gets a little too attached to her person and con sometimes not want to share that person but it is trainable. She’s a smart girl and listens well. She does not like to be in trouble.  If you would like to meet this darling girl please email or text us.

Charlie is a sweet boy with his human parents but very protective. He needs a home where the owner is very good at directing dogs to follow commands. The owners need to be the alpha. Charlie is a great ball and frisbee player. I recommend that he be the only dog/pet in the home.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Mason! He is a reserved dog who can come across as a bit stoic. He could definitely use some help building up his confidence and letting loose in his new home. Due to his stoic nature he would be best in a home where everyone is over the age of 16 and can give him the time and space he`ll need to adjust to his new home. He will need help with his basic training especially his walking as he can be stubborn if he finds something he`s very interested in. He has been awarded a Goodpup Scholarship, which is one-on-one training at no cost to the adopter!

These pups are in Lake Forest, California too!

A 52-pound handsome pup that loves to go on walkies, to be with my humans, to run around outside, and to play - that's me, Hunter! I'm around 2 years old and a staff favorite. I am good with other dogs, but cats are not in my future. Sometimes I don't know my strength, so kids over 12 are best for me! Fill out an application today to meet me!March 27, 2024, 4:11 am

Story
Hi, I'm Sloan! I am about 6.5 years old and 65 lbs., and I’m told I’m such a special guy because I have a fantastic attitude about life, despite my tough start. Before being rescued, it was discovered I had been shot, leaving me blind in one eye. Don’t worry; this doesn't stop me from enjoying life to the fullest! I was also found with stab wounds and was extremely underweight. Despite a hard start, I have come a long way and I am healthy and happy now and looking for my furever home where I can love my people as much as they love me. Everyone says I really deserve that! One thing to know about me is that I LOVE water! I love to play but I do play a little rough, so a home with kids over 12 would be best. I enjoy other dogs if they are calm and respect my space. My dream home would be with a family who is active and likes to take walks, play ball with me, take me swimming or on a hike. Oh, and no cats, please! I can be vocal, but it's because I really like to hear myself talk. If you think I sound like a good fit for your family, please fill out an adoption application today!March 27, 2024, 4:11 am

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Drizzle’s foster mom wants you to know that “Drizzle has a joy for life especially when she flips over on her back and wiggles around. This zest transfers over to you in complete laughter and happiness. You can’t help but enjoy life with her!”Drizzle’s perfect morning looks like this: a car ride, yoga on the bluff in the sunshine with her foster mom, lots of affection, another car ride, and a toy to play with or chew on. Then home so her foster mom can go to work, and she can hang out in her bed, snoring through video calls. Drizzle is about 7 years old and 65 lbs., and mornings like this have given her a whole new perspective on how great life can be! In her previous life, where she may have been used as a breeder mama, Drizzle was left with some hip issues that limit her walks to just a few blocks, but that won’t stop her from trying to pull on her leash a little if she gets the chance (don’t give her the chance)! Drizzle can be a bit stubborn and is working on her leash skills. She’s also learning how to sit (and practicing before every meal!), is completely housetrained, and is looking to her humans for direction. She can be the proverbial bull[dog] in a China shop, so would likely do better with older kids rather than little ones. Drizzle loves meeting people and dogs on her walks, and she is doing great at cohabitating with her foster dog sibling. One of her best tricks is giving the cutest little kisses - you have to experience them!Drizzle’s foster mom reports, 'She really just wants someone to love her, which is very easy to do with her sweet personality.' If you are ready to enjoy life with Drizzle, please fill out an application today!March 27, 2024, 4:11 am
