Story
Hi pals! I'm Poppy, a sweet young female pup just 1 year and 10 months old. I am shy, loving, and friendly, spending my days having fun, exploring, playing with soft toys, and playing hide and seek with my foster sibling dog. I have a lot of puppy energy and playfulness, and I am looking for a family that can keep up with me and continue teaching me manners and obedience. I am good with children, love cuddles and am doing well at being crate trained. I also like cats and turtles, and I am learning quickly how to be potty and leash trained. I am a fun and loyal pup and cannot wait to find my forever loving home.

Hey there, I am Bibi on the lookout for my perfect match! I am a spunky 6-year-old lady, a delightful boxer-staffy, rocking a stunning brindle fur coat. I got it all - health, manners, and all my shots lined up! The only thing missing? A forever snuggle buddy! People are my jam, according to my foster mom who describes me as a bundle of joy and sweetness. Cuddles are my specialty. I am cool with other laid-back pets, but I would thrive as your one and only furry companion. Could you be the one to make me part of your forever family? Let us make it official with a meet-up - I can't wait to charm you in person!

Story
Hi pals! I go by Opal, the adorable 1.5-year-old lady pitbull with a heart of gold. My journey began in an orchard in Tulare County, CA, where a kind soul stumbled upon me and rescued me from abandonment. I am crashing at a temporary spot for now, but what I really need is a forever home or a cozy foster family. I am a total sweetheart - gentle, loving, and ready to shower you with affection. My little pup has already found a home, and now it is my turn to find my happily ever after! To make my adoption dreams come true, the hero who found me is even willing to drive me halfway to San Diego, CA for the right family. If you are up for lending a helping paw, get in touch with Passion for Pitties to uncover more about me. Just a heads up, they have not met me in person, so all they know about me is from what others have shared. Let us make magic happen!

Story
Breed: American StaffyAge: 8 years oldWeight: 40 lbsPersonality: -has vision issues (possibly a recent thing) and if you move to quick, can get defensive. Once she sniffs/licks you she’s fine. -LOVES to sleep in bed with people and doesn’t move an inch -has had some sort of Trauma at some point and is learning to trust again (if you know the breed, they typically bounce back quickly. She is taking a bit). After 3 weeks with Babs she play bows and wiggles when she runs around the house. -*caution* she WILL weasel her way into your heart really quickly. -ok in a crate (might do better on a consistent potty schedule with the crate)   Flight Risk: do not leave unattended in a yard, crate training is a must when you are gone, tight grip on the leash is a must on adventures.

Story
6yr old Bridget lingered at the Imperial County Shelter for 5 months and after a few short days in a loving foster home, she has proven to be all her Boxer breed has to offer. Playful, Respectful, completely housetrained, joyful and fun to be around. She loves the companionship of some other dogs, as well as enjoying toys, she knows the difference between a shoe that is not hers to chew and a toy that she clearly will chew. Bridget can go from calm, chill to "let's go for a walk" in an instant. She rides well in a car, she loves the outdoors and her walks, she is a zig zagger on walks so we are working to work on that, but all in all, this girl is well behaved, respects boundaries and is a diamond in the ruff of the rough. Keep an eye out on this lovely girl, she is ready to join your family and bring you endless joy for many years to come. She's a completed application away from a chance to meet her at https://lionelslegacy.org/adopt/adoption-application/
