COURTESY POST- contact GINA at (310) 903-0470♥️🩵Subject: Deuce’s Story – A Sweet Boy Still Waiting for His Real ChanceI wanted to share Deuce’s story as well, because he truly deserves to finally find the stable and loving home he has never really had.Deuce originally came into West Valley Animal Shelter around September 2025 with his brother, Deebo (now Scooby). From what volunteers understood, the brothers had likely been used for breeding and were reportedly being advertised on Craigslist before being surrendered.The shelter was told the dogs had been fighting, yet neither dog showed injuries or signs consistent with fighting. Both participated in playgroups and were doing well. They quickly became volunteer favorites because of how sweet, affectionate, and loving they were with people.As often happens in overcrowded shelters, both dogs were placed on the euthanasia list after only a short time despite being good dogs.Deuce was eventually pulled from the shelter by an older woman named Carol after someone falsely claimed they would come pick him up “in a few days.” Unfortunately, it turned out this individual had allegedly done the same thing with multiple dogs through social media. Carol stepped in to help temporarily, and because she cared about him so much, she continued pseudo-fostering him to keep him safe.Since October of last year, Deuce has remained in that situation. Carol is kind-hearted and genuinely loves him, but due to his size and strength, she is limited in what she can physically manage. As a result, Deuce spends most of his time living in a backyard kennel area. We are told he occasionally goes to daycare, although we are not fully sure of the details.One beautiful thing is that every Sunday, a lovely lady Natalia takes him out for a few hours to Orcutt Ranch and adoption events so he can experience the world outside of confinement, get affection, and simply be a dog for a little while.And despite everything, Deuce remains an incredibly sweet and loving boy.He is strong, but gentle. He absolutely loves affection, hugs, and kisses. Once he warms up, he walks nicely on leash and enjoys being close to his people. At the shelter, volunteers spent a great deal of time working with both brothers, and Deuce had learned several commands and structure routines. Unfortunately, because of his current living situation, much of that consistency has been difficult to maintain.The biggest thing Deuce needs now is not perfection — it is stability, guidance, structure, exercise, and someone willing to truly invest in him. He has spent so much of his life surviving uncertainty, yet he continues to show love and trust toward people.He deserves more than a kennel and occasional outings. He deserves a real home, real leadership, and a real chance to finally decompress and thrive.Thank you for taking the time to read his story and care about these dogs.

Story
💙 Meet Jett 💙 I may only be a year old, but I've already lived through things no dog ever should. My story began in a homeless encampment, where I was found abandoned and tied to a pole. I was terrified, hungry, alone, and wondering if anyone would ever come back for me. Day after day, I waited. Thankfully, one kind person saw me, stopped, and changed my life forever. I was taken to boarding and training, where I finally got a chance to feel safe. I learned what it meant to have a warm bed, a full belly, and people who cared about me. Then a rescue stepped in to help me find the one thing I've never had... A family of my own. Despite everything I've been through, my heart is still full of love. I'm a sweet 1-year-old Pit Bull/Boxer mix with an adorable underbite and a gentle soul. I'm house-trained, crate-trained, neutered, microchipped, and professionally trained. I know my basic commands, love playing with my toys, enjoy car rides, and would happily be your sidekick on every adventure. Most importantly, I love people. I love being close to my humans. I love feeling included. I love knowing I'm safe. I'm wonderful with kids, great with other dogs, and ready to be someone's loyal best friend. Sometimes I wonder what it would feel like to finally belong somewhere. To have a family that chooses me forever. To fall asleep each night knowing I won't be left behind again. Maybe that's with you. Maybe the next chapter of my story starts when you decide to give a dog who once had nothing the chance to have everything. I promise I'll spend every day showing you just how grateful I am. Love, Jett 🐾 Located in Southern California. Please note: My rescue does not adopt out of state. To apply to adopt Jett, visit Bullies and Buddies Rescue. ❤️🐾

Story
📍 South Bay • Los Angeles • Southern California Hi, my name is Checkers! I'm only 1 year old, and I already know what it feels like to be left behind. I was abandoned on the streets of Los Angeles. I ran through traffic, searched for food wherever I could, and waited for someone to come back for me. Nobody did. Eventually, I ended up in a shelter. I was so scared that I stopped eating. Day by day, I grew thinner and sadder, and before long, I was placed on the euthanasia list. Then everything changed. A wonderful family stepped in and saved me. They showed me that people can be kind. They helped me gain weight, taught me that I was safe, and gave me a warm place to sleep without fear. For the first time in a long time, I started wagging my tail again. ❤️ Unfortunately, their home was only a temporary landing spot while I sear ched for my forever family. Now I'm ready to find the person who will love me forever. What can I promise if you adopt me? 🐾 I'll keep you entertained by tossing my toys around the yard! 🐾 I'll happily join you on sniffy walks and adventures 🐾 I know "sit" and "shake" 🐾 I'm house-trained AND professionalyl trained too! 🐾 I'm great with kids and other dogs 🐾 I'll be your loyal shadow and best friend! I'm about 52 pounds, but my heart is much bigger than that. I don't need a perfect home. I just need my home. If you think we might be meant for each other, please visit www.bulliesandbuddies.com and submit an adoption application! Located in Southern California. Please note: no out-of-state adoptions.
