Story
Petey is a sweet lovable boy. I rescued from an abusive situation where he was finally thrown out. He was in a crate up to 23 hours a day. I would be his forever home but my cat hates does and in the time Petey has been with me it is not getting better. Petey shows no aggression towards the cat BUT I do not know if Petey likes cats cuz mine will not be civil so there is zero interaction. Petey is good with my two 16 pounds dogs. Petey would LOVE to be a couch potato but on the other hand is ready to go if you want to adventure. He is a little shy at first but warms up fast. I've had him four months hoping the cat would change her mind. This situation is not fair to Petey.

Story
** COURTESY LISTING. CONTACT INFORMATION LISTED BELOW **   King is along term foster looking for his forever home. He has a huge personality and he is incredibly affectionate. He is deaf but so easy to communicate with and has signals for every command. He is completely trained, including off-leash trained if you are willing to learn the e-collar. He comes with free training for life. He loves to play tug, trick train, chew toys, sniff on walks and cuddle.    King is 65 lbs, 5 years old, neutered and up to date on all vaccinations. He is a Staffordshire Terrier / American Pit Bull Terrier mix, also with a bit of Beagle. He is good with other dogs, although I do recommend a structured introduction. He would do well as an only dog or a household with one other dog. He is good with kids of all ages and has even been around children under 1 years old. He is not neutral with cats and definitely unsafe for other small animals such as rabbits, birds, etc.    We are located in Laguna Hills, CA. I can be reached at 714-501-4590,  kimberly@recoaching.me  or on IG at kimsk9training.  July 14, 2025, 1:33 am

Story
Meet Duke – A Big-Hearted Boy Looking for a Fresh Start Duke is a 5-year-old, 64-pound American Staffordshire mix who’s neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Since being found in a park in October 2023, Duke has come a long way—he’s affectionate, smart, and full of personality. He loves cuddles, sunbathing, chasing birds, and chewing on toys or cardboard boxes. He’s also a foodie, with favorites like watermelon, apple, bell pepper, and the occasional french fry.He knows many commands (sit, down, heel, stay, speak, and more) and graduated from a board & train program where he learned great leash manners and impulse control.Duke does have some medical and behavioral needs. He has allergies (both food and environmental), a repaired leg (TPLO surgery in 2024), and a congenital soft palate defect. He’s reactive to motorcycles and has shown occasional redirected aggression, so he walks with a muzzle for safety. He needs an experienced, adult-only home that can provide structure and ongoing training.Despite his challenges, Duke is incredibly loving, goofy, and loyal. He bonds deeply with his people and will thrive in the right home—one that understands him and is ready to give him a second chance.If you’re experienced with reactive dogs and looking for a sweet, quirky companion, Duke may be the one for you.April 17, 2025, 10:18 pm

Story
Copper is an energetic, playful, and affectionate pup who thrives on structure and daily activity. In his foster home, he’s done incredibly well with clear boundaries, a consistent routine, and regular exercise—all of which have helped him blossom into a well-mannered and happy dog.Copper is dog-friendly and has been learning how to engage appropriately with other dogs. While he can be a bit enthusiastic during playtime, he's shown he can get along well—especially with the right match and proper introductions. He was originally surrendered due to occasional nipping during play, so he's looking for an owner who can continue reinforcing positive behavior and setting him up for success.Copper would do best with someone who can provide guidance, patience, and a structured environment. In return, he’ll reward you with loyalty, love, and plenty of fun. If you're looking for a joyful companion who’s eager to bond and keep you active, Copper could be the perfect fit!June 26, 2025, 5:22 pm

Meet Molly! She has been waiting for a forever home since November 2022! Molly is a sweet, spunky girl with a heart as big as her smile. At 7 years old, she’s the perfect mix of mature and active — ready to lounge on the couch or hit the trails for a long weekend walk. She’s gone on hikes, runs, and multi-hour strolls, and she keeps up like a champ!Molly is incredibly well-behaved in the house. She’s crate trained, housebroken, and respectful — no chewed shoes or mystery puddles here. She's also a great sleeper, curling up in her dog bed all night in her humans’ room without a peep.Molly is very food motivated (she’s never missed a meal!) and enjoys toys, bath time, and being part of the family routine. She’s strong on leash but doesn't pull. She can pass by other calm dogs just fine, but she may react if another dog is reactive, so she’ll need an experienced owner who can read her cues and continue her training.If you're looking for a loyal companion who's full of love, ready for adventures, and happiest curled up beside you, Molly might just be your girl.May 13, 2025, 6:37 pm
