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. Must be aware of open doors and windowsTo adopt: https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/37765/genericTo foster: https://petstablished.com/foster_form/37764/genericEmail: awayhomefordogs@gmail.com   ##1305334##

Story
Location: Long Beach, CA (Transports to other states possible-email us) Introducing.... Kismet, he is a smooshy love bug, 4.5 years old, and small at 35 lbs. All this guy wants is to be your cuddle buddy. He is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and playful, just anxious and doesn't like small dogs and is a bit scared by strangers. If you let him come to you, on his terms, you will be lifelong buddies. He is not a fan of strangers putting their hands over the fence in his yard. Too many in his neighborhood like to do that, to tease him. A new small dog moved into Kismet's home, and he is NOT happy. The two dogs cannot get along. They fight too much. The small dog has to stay, so Kismet needs a new home. He does board with a trainer and she has never had any issues with him and says he hasn't had any issues with the other dogs that have been there. He just doesn't care for this small dog in the home. He has had a health check and there are no health issues. Kis was adopted from another rescue organization in 2021, they have since closed their doors, so Save The Dals is trying to help this sweet boy get a new home. Is this little hunk of love for you?

Story
Hey, I’m Zara. I’m just a big softie who loves good vibes and good company. I’m all about keeping things chill... no need to rush when you can stretch out, enjoy the breeze, and soak up some pets. Attention? Oh yeah, I’m a fan. If you’re sitting down, I’m probably leaning on you already. I’ve got this whole “big lapdog” thing down to an art. Head scratches, chest rubs, ear pats; I’ll take ‘em all, thanks. Treats are my weakness. I can hear a snack bag open from across the house, and suddenly I’m right there, sitting nice and polite (most of the time). Cookies, biscuits, peanut butter.. life’s better with a full belly. Walks are my other favorite thing. I love the rhythm of the leash, the smells, the fresh air. Every walk’s a new adventure. I don’t need to go fast; I just like being out there, side by side with my person.At the end of the day, I’m happiest when things are easy: a comfy spot, a few good treats, some scratches, and the people I love close by. That’s my kind of perfect.

Story
&#226&#156&#168 Meet Biscuit &#226&#156&#168 Biscuit’s journey is nothing short of a miracle. She was rescued from the San Bernardino shelter, just hours away from being euthanized simply because she had been there too long. Originally listed as 2 years old, a veterinarian later confirmed she was actually only about 8 months old at the time—her playful puppy energy makes perfect sense! She’s now about 1 year old and ready for her forever home. Biscuit is a sweet, affectionate girl who loves being with people and will happily follow you around as your little shadow. She has plenty of playful energy and is eager to learn. She’s already made big progress on her manners, though she sometimes still jumps up for attention in the most innocent way. With continued training, she’ll only get better. On walks, Biscuit can be reactive toward other dogs, but this comes from insecurity rather than aggression—consistent training and guidance will help her build confidence. The best part? Biscuit is already potty trained, spayed, and microchipped. She’s a loving, loyal, silly girl who just needs someone to believe in her. If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate companion to share your days with, Biscuit is waiting to meet you. If interested in meeting Biscuit please contact foster: Diana- Drios79@hotmail.com (909)210-3517September 3, 2025, 10:37 pm
