Story
His name is Max. He was my dad’s roommates dog that my dad took care of for 2 years. My dad recently passed and I’ve been taking care of Max for 2 months. He is a very sweet dog I just don’t have enough room for him to thrive and I also have a small dog who does not like him. He is very good with my small dog no aggression whatsoever. I would love to have someone adopt him that loves these breeds and can stay in communication with me. Max has been through a lot and he deserves a loving home long walks and a big backyard.

Story
Palmer is a loyal and loving dog who has been a cherished member of our family for over six years, growing alongside us as we welcomed three children into our home. She is a gentle, affectionate dog who forms deep bonds with her people, though she benefits from a little time and patience to build trust. While we don’t know much about her earliest years, we do know she was rescued from the streets of Riverside and experienced abuse. Palmer is smart and well-trained, responding to basic commands like sit, stay, and lay down, and she enjoys simple pleasures like playing fetch, going for walks, and curling up for cuddles.As our household has become busier with young children, we’ve seen signs that Palmer is feeling overwhelmed—particularly around our almost 5-year-old, where she has recently shown discomfort through growling (though she has never bitten). Palmer deserves a home where she can feel safe, understood, and relaxed. Ideally without young children and no other dogs.

Story
PLEASE COMPLETE OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION AT WWW.LOVEBUGSRESCUE.ORG IF YOU'D LIKE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR ADOPTION: Pebbles is a beautiful gentle giant who was rescued from Harbor Animal Shelter and given a second chance at the life she truly deserves. She came to us with horribly cropped ears, but that hasn’t taken away from her stunning looks or her incredibly sweet spirit. At 3 years old and 82 pounds, this gorgeous American Staffordshire Terrier mix (full DNA below) has striking, eye-catching markings and an even more beautiful heart to match. If you are an American Staffie lover, you know the breed is know for being both loving and loyal and they want nothing more than to please their humans. Pebbles arrived at the shelter as a stray, but you would never guess it by her loving nature. She is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and very dog-oriented. She absolutely lights up when meeting new canine friends and is always ready for a playful game of chase. She's good with cats too! Despite her impressive size, Pebbles is soft and gentle with a tender soul that simply wants to be close to the ones she loves. She can be a bit reserved when meeting new people, but once she warms up she will happily place her big head in your lap for pets and affection. Pebbles gets along well with other dogs and enjoys playful interactions. When she’s comfortable, her silly and fun-loving side shines through — expect zoomies, goofy expressions, and plenty of enthusiastic tail wags. She would love a home where she can stretch out, be part of the family, and soak up all the love she gives so freely. Pebbles would do best in a quieter home with less coming and going, and ideally with another dog her size or one who can match her playful energy. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, big-hearted companion, Pebbles may just be your perfect match. Pebbles DNA mix is: 41% American Staffordshire Terrier 16% American Pit Bull Terrier 11% Staffordshire Bull Terrier 9%. Perro de Presa Canario 9%. Bullmastiff 7%. Boxer 7% Neapolitan Mastiff Pebble's adoption fee is $500 and includes her spay, microchip, vaccines/flea treatment/deworming current.

Story
Valentina was surrendered to PuppyPromise Rescue July 2024 after her owner went through major life changes. Following a divorce and a diagnosis of liver failure, her owner lost her job and could no longer care for her four dogs. Sadly, Valentina’s vaccine records were lost during this time, so she has been fully re-vaccinated.She came to the rescue with her medium-sized brother. Valentina is playful and fun, she loves water, squeaky toys, and going for long walks. She knows basic commands and does great with smaller dogs. We’re not sure how she does with cats yet.As a power breed, Valentina needs a home with a family who understands her breed and is ready to give her the love and commitment she deserves. She’s already lost one family and is hoping for a stable, caring forever home.March 7, 2026, 3:29 pm

Rosie is a sweet girl looking for a patient and loving home. She may be timid at first, but once she feels safe, her gentle and affectionate nature begins to shine. Rosie loves a solid routine, walks, exploring, snuggles, and lots of affection from her people. She can be selective with her dog friends out in the world but does currently live with a calm dog and a cat in her foster home. Rosie just needs a family willing to give her patience and encouragement so she can build confidence and truly blossom.June 9, 2026, 2:22 am
