Story

I'm Flash Gordon, a 4-year-old, short, stocky male American Staffordshire Terrier mix who weighs 91 pounds. Housetrained, I am very happy, playful, like to be active, am on the shy side, love to hang on the sofa with you, and can be silly and goofy. I live with a family with another dog and TLRD did this thing they called a 'cat test.' I passed, whatever that means. They are super awesome - they have taken me on lots of trips, like to Morro Bay or up to the mountains. I really like those trips and I love to have a job to do. I also like to be protective and need to learn that it's not my job - it's the human leaders' job. Are you up for that? I hope so!July 25, 2024, 8:48 pm

American Staffordshire Terrier Labrador Retriever

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Miles - 75 pounds of great dog! Miles 4.5 years old and is in need of a new home because his dad passed away from cancer and now he is all alone because his doggy brother also passed away. His home has been sold and the new owner said miles could stay but has to be kenneled outside every day, all day. Miles would really love a warm heart and and a warm indoor bed to crawl into every night. He's obedience trained and has some trick training. And he's eager to please when he's not being lazy, and he's a really cool dog. He's a talker and very expressive. He loved his walks, car rides, watching TV and being a couch hippo and hopes he can find the perfect forever home where he can love all those things again. We think he's a staffy/lab mix. But just a guess. He would be better in a home with no small animals. His dad's wishes was for Miles to have some land to roam on, but this oversized potato would be fine almost anywhere.He really just wants attention and craves it more now that he is all alone and sitting in a kennel. He can be stubborn and have selective hearing, as many dogs can. As you can imagine he has been a bit depressed and truly praying for a new human to love him like his daddy did. Are you ready to give Miles all the love he needs.IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN MILES, PLEASE CONTACT JENN AT nerfherder1221@gmail.com OR 661-874-5432July 25, 2024, 8:48 pm

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Jasper’s foster family has this to say about him: “He is the best dog; he’s such a love bug. He loves humans of all kinds. He knows basic commands - sit, stay, lay, place, and “in” for his crate. It’s rare he goes in the crate since he’s the best dog ever! He’s great on a leash and wants to meet every dog within reach. He’s a whole body wag kind of pup. His favorite thing is lying in bed with his human and his second favorite thing is lying on the couch with his human.” Jasper is one happy 66 lb. hunky doggie. Around 5 yrs. old, Jasper is just a fantastic pup. He’s a great mix of gentle, calm, confident, silly/goofy, sensitive, and smart, and he loves to please. While he loves his walks, he also loves to balance that out with many cuddles!Who are Jasper’s ideal companions? He’s good with other dogs and shares toys and treats with his foster dog siblings. Jasper has lived with cats, and, on occasion, he has chased them. Since he’s a big boy, Jasper would do best with older, respectful kids who understand how to engage with a dog of his size. As Jasper’s foster family says, “He is the best dog.” If you’re ready to meet Jasper, cuddle with him, and let him charm you just like he’s charmed us, please fill out an application today!July 25, 2024, 8:48 pm

Affectionate and Loving Meet Sandy! Sandy is a 1-year-old super-loving female pup. She wants to be friends with every big dog, little dog, and cat as long as they are okay with her.

Sandy's still learning how to be a dog so she’s working on walking on a leash because she never had a walk but learning pretty fast. She is eager to please and is happy to get positive praise and reinforcement for her good work. She’s submissive and shy at first but warms up pretty quick to everyone around her. Update 9/7/22 Sandy has been living with our trainer and has been doing great! She gets along and plays well with the other dogs and has become more comfortable meeting new people.

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Affectionate and LovingWedge is an amazing 10-month-old with so much potential to be a great dog for any family! He does well with older children and other friendly dogs. He enjoys rough-housing with his foster sister and plays very nicely with the family's older dog. Wedge is a snuggler and loves couch privileges while still doing very well in his crate. His current foster family fell in love with him super fast and are absolutely heartbroken to have to let him go. He gets uncomfortable around strangers and is working with a trainer to help him gain confidence and work through whatever happened to him before he came to us. The trainer is positive that Wedge's training be successful. He just needs a home with stability and patience. His current foster has a busy schedule and young children which aren't conducive to his need for consistency. He just needs more time to settle in, as all rescue dogs do, to feel secure, and gain confidence, and he will be an amazing addition to any Loving family! The foster family does think Wedge would do best with older kids. He loves being played with and loved on. Another dog in a secure backyard to make Wedge feel safe would also be ideal. He's an active puppy that would benefit greatly from walks. He is best in a calmer home as he does have some fear issues so a family that has people coming and going may be too overstimulating for Wedge, Wedge needs people to be introduced to him in a way that makes him feel safe. We do encourage Wedge's adopter to provide him with structure, stability, consistency, tons of love, and continued training to set him up for success. His trainer will help Wedge's new family with 2 training sessions at no charge. If you are interested in meeting Wedge, please submit a completed adoption application found under the forms tab. This way, we can schedule a meet and greet. He can also be found on our social media pages IG: @Doggie_Bonez_Inc_ and Facebook: Doggie Bonez.

Story

Hi, I'm Sloan! I am about 7.5 years old and 65 lbs., and I’m told I’m such a special guy because I have a fantastic attitude about life, despite my tough start. Before being rescued, it was discovered I had been shot, leaving me blind in one eye. Don’t worry; this doesn't stop me from enjoying life to the fullest! I was also found with stab wounds and was extremely underweight. Despite a hard start, I have come a long way and I am healthy and happy now and looking for my furever home where I can love my people as much as they love me. Everyone says I really deserve that! One thing to know about me is that I LOVE water! I love to play but I do play a little rough, so a home with kids over 12 would be best. I enjoy other dogs if they are calm and respect my space. My dream home would be with a family who is active and likes to take walks, play ball with me, take me swimming or on a hike. Oh, and no cats, please! I can be vocal, but it's because I really like to hear myself talk. If you think I sound like a good fit for your family, please fill out an adoption application today!July 25, 2024, 8:48 pm

Story

Drizzle’s foster mom wants you to know that “Drizzle has a joy for life especially when she flips over on her back and wiggles around. This zest transfers over to you in complete laughter and happiness. You can’t help but enjoy life with her!”Drizzle’s perfect morning looks like this: a car ride, yoga on the bluff in the sunshine with her foster mom, lots of affection, another car ride, and a toy to play with or chew on. Then home so her foster mom can go to work, and she can hang out in her bed, snoring through video calls. Drizzle is about 7 years old and 65 lbs., and mornings like this have given her a whole new perspective on how great life can be! In her previous life, where she may have been used as a breeder mama, Drizzle was left with some hip issues that limit her walks to just a few blocks, but that won’t stop her from trying to pull on her leash a little if she gets the chance (don’t give her the chance)! Drizzle can be a bit stubborn and is working on her leash skills. She’s also learning how to sit (and practicing before every meal!), is completely housetrained, and is looking to her humans for direction. She can be the proverbial bull[dog] in a China shop, so would likely do better with older kids rather than little ones. Drizzle loves meeting people and dogs on her walks, and she is doing great at cohabitating with her foster dog sibling. One of her best tricks is giving the cutest little kisses - you have to experience them!Drizzle’s foster mom reports, 'She really just wants someone to love her, which is very easy to do with her sweet personality.' If you are ready to enjoy life with Drizzle, please fill out an application today!July 25, 2024, 8:48 pm
