Story
We made Juice part of our family when he was four weeks old. We got him off a friend. He will be 2 years old this September 2024. Juice is super energetic, but also lazy. He likes other dogs. He does well with my 14 and 11 year old. He seems to do well with my 8 month old, but I always supervise closely as a precaution. He does get occasional zoomies. He’s crate trained and will only go potty outside. He tends to be a quiet dog unless someone he doesn’t know is at the door. He is a bit vocal at times if he needs to go potty or if he’s hungry. He’s a big, strong dog. He likes being petted and will push his paws against ur hand if he wants you to continue petting him. We now live in an apartment and have really busy schedules due to some changes that doesn’t allow us to give him the attention he deserves. I hope to help find Juice a family that will love, cherish him, and give him the attention he deserves. I just want Juice to be happy.

Paco is a neutered male black and white Staffi/Lab mix. He is 18 months old and weighs 60 lbs. so he will be a big boy when fully grown. He has been raised in Mexico by a lovely family and all vaccines are up to date and he is housetrained. Paco has lots of energy! He would love a yard to run in and a friend to play with. He is good with other dogs although he is overly anxious during initial introductions. He currently lives with several other dogs. He has not been around cats. Paco is as sweet as can be and loves kids. He just wants to find his own person or family to love. Because he’s young, obedience training would help him be the best dog he can be. To meet Paco, contact Dana by email or text: dkmikel@gmail.com or text 760.519.5532.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Sweet Sadie is a fun loving, 45 lb, 3 year old Bulldog mix girl who just wants to have fun! She is passionate about her toys and her food and during her time in her foster home she has learned to love bits of sweet potato, banana, zucchini and other healthy foods as a treat. Sadie loves going for walks at cool and quiet times of the day and travels well in the car. At home when she's not enjoying a toy dismantling party or chewing on a bone or a Kong, she is a super calm couch potato. Sadie loves to meet new people and is very friendly with everyone as well as quite affectionate. She gets over excited when meeting new dogs so she would do best as the only princess in the home, and no cats for Ms.Sadie. Because she can be dog selective and over excited when seeing them, no children would be best (she would sneak out like a Ninja through a door left open!). She knows sit and shake and would love to learn some new commands - and since she's so motivated by treats, training sessions are fun for her. Sadie is crate trained and perfectly potty trained too! Sadie's Adoption fee is $300 and includes spay, microchip and current vaccinations. To fill out an adoption application, visit https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/SSP-A-783.
