Story
Kova is a distinguished gentleman who’s spent most of his life at Living Free, having arrived back in 2016. Now a senior, Kova has been deeply loved by staff and volunteers alike, and he’s formed a beautiful bond with his long-term canine roommate, Lola. These two are a dynamic duo, but Kova is now ready to find a home of his own—a place where he can finally retire as someone’s beloved best friend. Don’t let his age fool you—Kova lives for a good game of fetch and will happily play as long as you’re willing to toss the ball. Once you throw it, consider yourself his new favorite human. He’s a little cautious around strangers at first, but the way to Kova’s heart is simple: tennis balls and a little patience. Kova is a true gentleman on the leash and loves going on hikes, soaking in nature like a pro. He’d thrive in a calm, loving home where he can enjoy his favorite activities and receive the one-on-one companionship he’s been waiting for all these years. Come meet Kova, throw the ball, and discover a loyal, playful friend who’s been waiting a long time for you.

American Pit Bull Terrier

Mountain Center, CA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bubba has quietly stolen the hearts of everyone at the sanctuary, from volunteers to staff, but despite his gentle nature and perfect manners, this senior boy keeps getting overlooked—simply because of his breed. We're here to change that, because Bubba deserves a loving home to call his own. Bubba is the definition of a gentleman. He walks beautifully on a leash, loves kids, and even enjoys the company of cats. He’s not a fan of other dogs, so he’s looking for a home where he can be the only canine companion—but trust us, this sweet soul will fill your heart and home all on his own. He’s a favorite around here, often taking lunch breaks with our kennel staff or catching a nap in the kitchen. He’s even a regular at staff meetings, always on his best behavior, quietly soaking up the attention (and occasional treats). We all adore Bubba, but what he truly needs is a real home, a soft spot to rest his head, and a person or family to love him through his golden years. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s already won over an entire staff, Bubba might just be the perfect dog for you. Let’s help Bubba find the forever home he’s been waiting for. 💙

Story
Our initial impression of Monet was very, very shy. That has since changed since she settled in. Monet is goofy, loving, and playful. Her favorite thing to do at the moment is show off her new favorite toys. She has the uncanny ability to make friends with anyone she meets and that seems to be exactly what she wants to happen. She and her roommate Zeus have shown to be incredibly respectful to each other and have become fast friends. Being a young dog, she has plenty of room to learn and would excel in training. She caught onto the routine at the sanctuary in no time and is loving life. Now she just needs her forever home.

Marco

American Pit Bull Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 5 yrs
Palm Springs, CA
Size

Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Marco: The Handsome Tuxedo Pup! Marco is a dashing young adult American Pitbull Terrier mix with a striking tuxedo coat that makes him look like he's always ready for a formal event! But don't let the fancy look fool you-Marco is a playful, affectionate dog who loves his people deeply. He can be a little cautious around unfamiliar faces at first, but once he gets to know you, his loyalty and admiration shine through. Marco's favorite pastime? Chewing on toys, especially if they come in the form of a ball! He could spend hours entertaining himself, and you'll love watching him play. He also enjoys the company of female dogs who match his energy, making him a good companion for a similarly active and playful dog. However, he's not as fond of male dogs, so a home where he's the only boy would suit him best. Though Marco is growing out of his puppy days, he still has some puppy-like mouthiness and excitement when greeting familiar faces, so he'd do well with someone who can continue guiding him through his training. Once he settles down, Marco makes an excellent hiking buddy-he's got the stamina for adventure but also knows how to enjoy a calm, steady pace. Marco ready to find his forever home with someone who appreciates his unique personality and adventurous spirit!

Summer

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 2 yrs 3 mos
Palm Springs, CA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Summer 🌞🐾 Summer is a sweet young adult Pitbull mix with a mostly white coat and a few special markings — including one adorable brown ear. When she first arrived at the shelter, she was extremely shy and shut down. Thanks to the patience, love, and care of staff and volunteers, she has blossomed into an affectionate dog who loves nothing more than cuddles and treats. With strangers, Summer can still be a bit reserved at first, but a handful of treats is usually all it takes to win her over. She walks nicely on leash, has shown no signs of leash reactivity during her time with us, and enjoys calm strolls by your side. During her dog-to-dog evaluation, Summer was neutral and seemed new to being around other dogs. By the end of her session, she began showing more interest and curiosity. If you have another dog at home, we strongly recommend bringing them in for a meet-and-greet to ensure it’s a good fit. Summer is looking for a patient and loving family who will continue to help her build confidence and show her just how wonderful life can be. Could that family be yours? 💕
