Story
Meet Salsa! She’s approximately 10-11 years old and weighs 35 pounds. She socializes very well with other doggies. She likes to run, play and chew on her toys. Salsa can be a little shy at first with human males. She can also be an escape artist; therefore, she needs a backyard with a high and secure fence..

Size

Story
This studly and handsome boy Chico was rescued from horrible living conditions and was being severely neglected. A guardian angel stepped in and rescued him with the help of the authorities. Chico has been convalescing at his fosters home and is now healthy and happy! Chico loves his people and children but is dog reactive so we think he would do best in a home where he is the only dog. Chico walks nicely on a leash however when he sees a dog approaching he becomes agitated and fearful like he needs to protect and defend himself but has been working with a trainer to overcome his fears and has made such strides! We think Chico will be a lovely addition to someone's family!

Story
Adoptable Archie (fka Perry at Harbor Shelter) is such a good boy! He’s about 50 lbs, neutered, up to date on vaccines, house trained, crate trained, good with people, and good with dogs! He’s about 2 years old and spent almost half of his life at the shelter 💔 But he’s with us now and looking for his forever family! He has puppy energy sometimes so will need basic training (like all dogs) but he’s sweet as can be and just loves to be loved!

Story
Adoptable Nala is a three year old 40lb pit mix with the most adorable underbite and smooshed face. Fully crate trained, she eats her meals/sleeps/hangs out in there with no issues. Does well with other dogs including her foster sister who is around the same size. Very chill and a big night time snuggler. She loves to chew on bones, but soft toys are her absolute favorite. Doing well with potty training so far! Like all dogs from the shelter, Nala would benefit from basic training but she’s already got so much going for her! Nala is the recipient of an Angel Grant from @standupforpitsfoundation for which we are so grateful! Would you like to be the lucky family to have this girl join your family?

Story
Adoptable Mindy is doing amazing in her foster home! She loves to go on adventures around town or snuggle up with her foster parents. She is house trained, good with other dogs, and TBD on the resident cat 😻 The shelter had Mindy listed as 8 years old but we all agree she is probably more like 5-6 years. She’s a great size at 50ish lbs and is currently doing great in an apartment setting! Mindy came from South LA where her heroes @pawpals_southlashelter advocated for her rescue (and even connected us with her amazing foster mama). It’s time for Mindy to have the happily ever after she deserves! Apply to adopt her today 🩵
