Story
Chaz is an 8-year-old, 68-pound grey Pittie mix who has lived through more than his share of hardship. Someone in his past cut off his ears to make him look intimidating, but in reality, Chaz is nothing but a soft, loving dog with a gentle heart.He’s a senior, but you’d never know it watching him chase after a tennis ball. He still has plenty of energy and a playful streak that shines through the moment you step outside with him. Chaz knows his basic commands, walks well on leash, and thrives on human connection. He’s eager to please and even more eager to be loved. Mostly, Chaz just wants to feel safe, understood, and valued for who he is.Senior dogs like Chaz often wait the longest for homes. But the love they give is deep, steady, and full of gratitude. Chaz is ready to share that love with someone who sees past the scars and recognizes the loyal companion he’s always been.He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and waiting for a family to finally choose him.Chaz spent time in a foster home and was the most well behaved boy! Here is a note from his foster:Chaz is incredibly cuddly and sweet. He always wants to be in my company, even if we are just laying on the couch. He wasn`t allowed on the couch at first, but he is so smart and figured out how to get comfortable up there despite the obstacle I set up. He loves chasing a tennis ball, but doesn`t care too much about other toys. He is very treat/food motivated! He does a little `happy` march when he`s waiting for me to put his food bowl down. Despite his age, he loves going on a long walk and is well mannered on a leash. He is excited to see people and dogs, though I haven`t tried introducing him to other dogs, but I think he would love to play with them based on his tail wagging and gentle nature. He is perfect for someone seeking a cuddly companion!Chaz`s adoption fee has been paid for with a donation from Anna Kay

Story
Dalilah is a 6 year old American Bully that is joyful and an affectionate bundle of love! When she gets excited that she might get some attention, she may show you the most adorable little hoppity-hops ever. She carries her toys around and likes a quiet spot in the yard to lay and enjoy the fresh air. She’s content to stay on the couch or bed with you, or plays a bit of fetch and tug, and loves to give hugs and kisses. She is a low energy dog but gets excited for play, affection, and cookies! Dalilah walks great on a leash and loves to go on short adventures. Gets along well with other dogs and currently friends with a chihuahua. She has *Slight* special needs but is very easy to care for. She can walk fine, but a little unstable on her feet. She can hear, but slight hard of hearing and need to speak up to get her attention. She can see fine, but has a bit of a wonky eye. Dalilah has her OWN hashtag! Search #DalilahTails on Facebook, and her stories will pop up! She is crate trained, house broken, vaccinated, spayed and microchipped. Dalilah would love to meet you! To meet her in person, please fill out an adoption application.

Story
In July of 2024 my partner and I adopted Rex from the Chatsworth Animal Shelter. Rex is a lovable, kind playful, energetic dog who just wants to be loved. Rex is a 3 year old Boxer/Pit but he is mostly Boxer. He loves to go on hikes, play fetch and jump for joy when you come home. Rex does have separation anxiety and is a natural guard dog. He loves to do his nightly walks around the home and confirm everything and everyone is in their right place. He needs a home that will allow him to let out his energy and let him be a guard dog. Rex is naturally cautious and is always nervous when meeting new people. Due to Rex being that natural guard dog and being a rescue, he unfortunately did bite a relative of ours when entering the home. Rex is not inherently aggressive, he is just scared. Rex needs to be in a home that can handle a behaviorally challenged dog, a home that will be patient with him. If you give him love, he will give you all the love in the world back.
