Story
🐾 Meet Patrick — Loyal, Playful, and Ready for His Forever Home 🐾 Name: Patrick ID: A568250 Breed: Bully mix Color: Blue and white Age: 2 years Weight: 44 lbs Neutered, Vaccinated, and Microchipped Heartworm Negative Rescued from Orange County Animal Services (OCAS) Patrick’s story is one of survival and second chances. He arrived at Orange County Animal Services as a stray on April 6, 2025, and spent two long months in the shelter. During that time, he physically and emotionally declined — losing weight and becoming increasingly shut down. He was placed on the euthanasia list… but thanks to a loving foster, Patrick got his second chance. 💙 About Patrick: Patrick is a fun-loving, food-motivated sweetheart who absolutely adores his toys and bones. Tug-o-war? Yes please. Snuggling by your feet? Absolutely. Even when he’s chewing on something special, he allows his foster mom to take it from him without a fuss — a true sign of trust. He’s incredibly smart and quickly learned the routine of crate time (especially when food’s involved!). Whether it’s celery, cantaloupe rinds, or watermelon vines — if it’s edible, Patrick’s interested. He’s a shadow-type companion who just wants to be near his person. Quiet time at your feet is his love language. 🏡 Patrick’s Perfect Home: Patrick has come a long way from his shelter days, but he still needs a home that understands his needs and provides structure. He’ll thrive as an only pet or possibly with very slow introductions to other calm dogs. Patrick has shown reactivity toward other dogs in stressful environments, and he is not safe with cats. He may also be wary of men, as he has shown signs of discomfort with unfamiliar males — though he’s affectionate and trusting with people he knows and loves. ⚠️ Not for Every Home: * No cats * Likely best as the only pet * May need a home without young children * Preferably with an experienced or patient owner 🧸 Patrick’s Personality in a Nutshell: * Toy and bone enthusiast * Loves food (even the weird stuff!) * Crate trained and easily redirected * Loyal, affectionate, and wants to be your shadow * Smart, sensitive, and eager to please * Needs structure, predictability, and a cat-free home Patrick is a dog with heart — one who’s overcome so much and is now just looking for someone to see the good in him. If you’re ready to welcome a loyal companion who just wants to be loved, Patrick is waiting for you. Apply now and help write the next chapter in Patrick’s story.

Story
A new Dawn is coming....teehee, it`s me! I`m Dawn, a lady who has been through quite a lot, but I haven`t let that stop me from being a joyous friend to all. I arrived to ACAR with a badly dislocated hip, but the medical team helped me through surgery and recovery, and I`m back, baby! I do get around well but do best with respectful dogs who don`t play too rough. I LOVE cozy beds and blankies, and I don`t mind being dressed up in warm sweaters. I keep my kennel clean and tidy, and the staff believes I`m housebroken. I would make a lovely companion for someone looking for a laidback girl to peacefully coexist through this beautiful life with. Let`s meet!

It`s Friday, Friday, gotta adopt a dog named Fridayyyyy. Don`t mind me, just partying because every day could feel like the weekend if you adopt me! I`m a little guy with mighty big ears, and I`ll lead you to believe I`m a shy little mouse, but I come to life for food. Send a lil food my way and I`ll be eating out of your hand (literally). Thanks to num nums and my staff friends, I`ve really come out of my shell lots and now enjoy going on walks, enjoying a pup cup or ice cream, and even puttering around in a playgroup or two with other dogs. I will walk backwards into your hand to awkwardly ask for booty pats, and I know I`ll stick to my person like glue in the home. Grab a cookie and ask to meet me!

Story
One word: ears. I am Caleb, and these ears are alllll natural, the bigger and better to hear you with (and dote on every word you say). Dashing looks aside, I`m a lowkey guy working on becoming a big, brave boy. I look to you for guidance and like to stay nearby, so I know I`m going to attach to my forever person in no time. I love food so much that treats are helping me learn beautiful leash manners and commands like sit and down. I have been friendly with the other dogs I`ve met so far and don’t mind lounging in the sunshine with them. These ears are picking up something...what’s that I hear...you’re coming to see me? Let’s make it soon!
