Story
We took in Willow from a friend that was moving and she has been a really great dog. She is really good with our 3 year old son and gets along great with other dogs when we take her to the dog park. Unfortunately, we found out our son is allergic to dogs and we are no longer able to keep her. She is potty trained, loves to cuddle and play outside.

Story
We found her curled up by our back door. She seemed scared and tired. We opened our back gate and she ran into our backyard. We have posted flyers and posted her pictures on five different social media sites for lost animals. We have also posted flyers at the local animal shelters and dog parks. No one has claimed her. She is very sweet and loving. Doesn’t bark. Is not aggressive. Does not chew things up or dig holes. She’s does well on a leash. Under supervision, we left the backyard gate open and she doesn’t run off or even try to leave. It makes no sense how she is lost. Unfortunately we think she was dumped in our neighborhood. If you are looking for a low maintenance loving dog, please let us know. She seems to just want a loving home. We are unable to give her a permanent home. Please call or text me if you are interested and are able to provide a good home for her. Nick & Steph 310-261-7266

Story
That face! That pose! Billie sure knows how to work a camera and find her best angles. It's why she's our resident supermodel dog and we think she is the most gorgeous pup around! This sweet girl was found wandering the streets until a good Samaritan saved her and now she has come into our care. Her foster family says Billie is playful and energetic, and her floppy ears & fluffy face are simply adorable. Billie will do best in a home with medium to large sized dogs only (no cats or small dogs) and kids over the age of 15. She would love a dog sibling to play with and to show her the ropes. She is still learning how to walk politely on a leash and is hoping for a family that can continue her training and development into the happy, healthy dog we know she will be. Billie is potty trained and crate trained. She weighs about 50 pounds and is 2 1/2 years old. Could she be the exact dog you're looking for? Fill out an application today to meet her!

sweet girl adopted at the shelter. 1 year old. i absolutely adore her and it hurts to rehome her, but my cat hates her. she's extremely friendly, super smart, and will come with all her basic supplies. she's adorable. rides well in the car, just wants to be with you all the time. she's like a little shadow, but has done well when i need to leave her alone so far. fine with other dogs and hasn't attacked or been aggressive with my cat in any way - cat just doesn't like her. non destructive from what i can tell and medium energy.

Story
This is Leyla and she is a cuddly, playful, misunderstood, and loving companion. Leyla was adopted from her original owner who mistreated and abused her. She is approximately 7 years old and has gone through several changes in owners. I am no longer able to care for her because she did not get along well with the other dog she was living with. Ultimately, I am looking for a loving home for Leyla where she can spend her furever home in. She has some minor behavioral issues and only does well being the only pet in the home. I would prefer someone who is experienced with troubled dogs to provide her with the support and help she needs.

Story
Hussle is 3.5 years old. He was adopted when he was 1.5 years old from a shelter. We truly are not sure what hussle’s background history is as he was found a stray. Hussle is a very loving dog and truly just loves to cuddle and be next to you! From the beginning, hussle has shown anxiety around other dogs. It causes him to exhibit a lot of anxiety, which looks like pulling, whimpering, barking, growling. He does very well with us, family members, children 7-up, friends; people who make him feel safe. My partner and I recently had a baby and hussle has unfortunately exhibited a lot of signs of anxiety and distress around her that the dog psychologist we saw recommended he be rehomed. This is completely shattering to us but he deserves a home that can make him feel safe again. Ideally, he’d do best with someone who is single or a couple who does not plan to have children. WFH schedule ideally as he likes to have someone home with him, (gets really sad when away for 4+ hrs)

Story
Boomer is one of our Boxskies from Mama Mia's litter of nine. MamaMia is one of the San Bernardino Six who were confiscated by the authorities due to extreme neglect and abuse. She was starved, lived in hell fighting to survive, and was extremely pregnant. Fortunately, she came into our care where she could safely have her babies. All of her pups have found homes except for four as of August 10th that are all 19 weeks now. Boomer is a smart, calm boy looking for a home that will provide him the love, guidance and training to be the amazing Boxsky he is meant to be.
