Story
If you are looking for a calm, wonderful sweet senior pup, Mariah is your pup! She was previously adopted from our rescue to be a companion to an elderly woman. Unfortunately, this woman ended up passing away, so she came back into our rescue. She is in great health, and still active. She just wants a loving home where she can spend the rest of the next several years with a loving person/family to give her all that she deserves. This pup as seen too much loss, as her previous adopter was the second home (that we know of) where her person had to leave her due to illness. We truly wish to see this very special girl go to a very special person or family. Are you that person or family? She's spayed, vaccines and microchipped and uber ready.

Story
I’m Frankie. Big Body, Soft Heart, Just Wants to Be Close.I'm currently in California. My bags are packed, I’m ready to travel to my new home. Where are you? Are you my new family? I’ll travel to you! I’m 3 years old. About 77 pounds. White and black coat. Pittie mix with a solid build and a surprisingly gentle way about me. I smile a LOT! People notice my size first. Then they meet me. I’m the kind of dog who leans in. I like being near you, not across the room. I’ll sit close, follow you around, and settle wherever you are like that’s where I belong. I’ve got a calm side and a playful side. I’ll enjoy a walk, a toy, a little movement, then I’m ready to relax and just be with you. I don’t need constant action. I need connection. I’m strong, so I’ll do best with someone comfortable handling a bigger dog, but I’m not wild. I just need structure and consistency like any dog does. What I’m really looking for is simple. A home where I can stay. A person who wants a loyal companion who shows up every day and means it. If you’re looking for a steady, affectionate dog who fills a space with quiet presence, I’m already that. ##2708782##

Story
What can we say about Ms Nala? She's a LARGE Pittie, and such a wonderful girl. Do to her weight and the fact that she doesn't know her own power, we cannot have her homes with small children. Would recommend teenagers to adults ONLY please. Nala just wants to be loved. She does well with other dogs, and has never been in a 2 sided fight (this means that although some have attacked her, she has NOT fought back - so we do not believe that she has ever been in a real fight). She is Goofy and very loving. She is house-trained, she does have food allergies to Chicken and Salmon, so we keep her on a diet from Authority (Petsmart) which is no more expensive than other name dog foods. This goofy sweet girl would make a great addition to anyone who has had experience with sweet Pitbulls before

I love meeting people and might greet you with my paws up just to say hello. I had an old leg injury from my shelter days, but it’s healed and I’m getting around great. I’ve been brushing up on my obedience training and I’m ready for my new family. I’m a sweet boy with a big heart, and I’m looking for my people. I want to belong to a good home where I’m loved and part of the family. I’m not complicated. I just want peace, kindness, and a place to call my own.

Story
We adopted Spot in November of 2022 at 4 months old. He seemed quiet. We have 3 other small dogs and he is good with them, but when my mom.came to.visit, he bit her yorki in the face. We went on a trip and snap at my mom (almost bit her), also snaped at my neighbours boy and today he snapped and groweled at me. We all know and have been exposed to him, but if he feels any bit threatened he will growl and snap. I am concerned that he is going to become more aggressive and hurt someone. I will wait for a month and then inquire at shelters. Thank you.

Capone is the best companion you can have. He is amazing with my anxiety and the best dog to chill and watch a movie with and yes, he will pay attention to that movie. He deserves someone who has going to be there for him and not work all day because he gets attached just as much as we do. He loves fluffy toys, cartoons, and attention. He is an angel and will be there for you in ways you can’t imagine. He is potty trained just not crate trained and gets along with other dogs kids and people. He would make an amazing addition to any family. I am flexible on distance as far as driving goes to be able to get him the best home.

Story
I’m Bruce. Goofy, Hungry, and Ready to Be Your Best Decision.I'm currently in California. My bags are packed, I’m ready to travel to my new home. Where are you? Are you my new family? I’ll travel to you! I’m the kind of dog who makes you laugh without trying. Big smile. Silly energy. A little clumsy in the best way. I’ve got that Boxer vibe in me, or at least that goofy charm that makes people say it. I’m friendly. I’m sweet. I like people. I’m the dog who walks into a room like we’re already friends. Let’s get one thing out of the way. I love food. A lot. Meals, treats, snacks, crumbs. If it’s edible, I’m interested. It makes training easy though. You’ve got snacks, I’ve got focus. I’m a strong boy too. Not out of control, just solid. I need someone who’s comfortable handling a dog with some muscle. I’ll do great with structure, guidance, and regular exercise. My skin looks pretty good now, but I may have had some irritation in the past, maybe fleas or something that needed time to heal. It’s not slowing me down. I just might need someone who keeps an eye on it and stays on top of care. I don’t come with a list of issues. I come with personality. I come with love. I come with a goofy face that makes bad days better. I’m Bruce.Bring the snacks. I’ll bring the fun. ##2650784##

Arlo

Pug Boxer

Male, Adult
Temecula, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Arlo is a sweet, fun, easy pup! He gets along with everyone (dogs, cats and kids) and loves to play, but he is not too hyper or needy. If you feel like being active he will happily join you on a hike or adventure. He loves car rides! We recently took him to dog beach and he did well, but wasn't a fan of the water. At home, he enjoys his toys and playing fetch or wrestling with his dog pals. If you just want to relax at home, Arlo is also content to hang out and watch TV with you. Arlo is fine with all people, but can be indifferent when meeting strangers. However, just spend some time with him and he will quickly bond. Then, he loves to cuddle and will even sit in your lap for hugs! Arlo looks like a Boxer/Pug mix. He is only 25lbs and about the size of a stocky Beagle. He is just 2 years old and in great shape! He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped already. Arlo is also crate trained and housebroken! If you'd like to meet Arlo, please submit an adoption application on our website at www.dominoeffectanimalrescue.orgMarch 13, 2026, 10:54 pm
