Story

Gorgeous 7-year-old Bebe urgently needs her loving foster or forever family. This sweet 62-pound angel has had a tragic past, and we want to make sure Bebe lives a beautiful life filled with love and happiness going forward. Bebe’s previous owner died of an accidental overdose, and Bebe was found lying next to him, she ended up being confiscated and was taken to Downey shelter. We were asked to help sweet Bebe by an acquaintance of her previous owner, so she wouldn’t be euthanized. Bebe arrived with a horrible cough, that ended up being pneumonia, and she had to be hospitalized, and she was shut down, confused, and brokenhearted. Bebe is thankfully, over her pneumonia, but stuck at our vet boarding, and needs a loving home so she can decompress and receive the love and attention she so greatly deserves. She’s opening up and we are seeing life back in her eyes and her sweet demeanor and personality shine through. Bebe loves going on walks and will love having a yard so she can bask in the sun. Please help us help beautiful Bebe by fostering or adopting. Here are some words from her current foster: Bebe is a loving dog who gives warm kisses and loves big hugs! Her tail wags often with affection. She LOVES to be with people! She’s excited to run and play fetch with a tennis ball or toy, chase after water from the hose, sunbathe in the yard, and rest in her cozy bed. She is a perfect walker and she’s generally not a barker. We have introduced her to a friendly dog. She was very excited at first but then she settled in and both dogs walked nicely next to each other. She was not aggressive. If you're interested in adopting Bebe, please fill out an application at www.doggiebonez.com.

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. Adoption fees for puppies under 1 year are $500, for young to adult dogs $400, and for our senior dogs $300. All fees include all vaccinations, fecal testing, wellness exams, microchipping, and spaying or neutering. If adoption isn't an option, please consider fostering one of our pups. We are a volunteer-run non-profit dog rescue and always welcome new short or long-term doggie foster families. We much appreciate the help and time of our fosters. You provide all the love, comfort, and safety of a home, and we supply you with everything else you may need, dog food, dog bed, toys, medical attention (if required), etc. If you are interested, please visit www.doggiebonez.com to see all of our available dogs who need a foster family while waiting for their fur-ever home and complete the foster application.
