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)210-3517March 8, 2026, 8:45 pm

Story
Dusty is a cuddle bug. He just wants to soak up all your attention. Dusty loves to be chased by other dogs at the dog park. He has a low to moderate energy level. He's not interested in fetch, but loves to play with toys. Dusty thoroughly enjoys walks, car rides, puzzles, dog toys, and bully sticks. Dusty does well with kids of all ages. It would be best if he is the only dog. He would also thrive in a household with a larger, more dominant dog who is fixed. Dusty knows how to sit and stay. He is house-trained and crate trained. He has fantastic leash manners. He gets mouthy when understimulated so he loves to nibble on you. It's a sign he's ready for a walk! He has been neutered, microchipped, and is up to date on all vaccines. Medically, he seems to have allergies that cause itching, scratching, skin rashes, and redness in his groin area. We manage this by feeding him lamb and giving him baths every 2 weeks. If you would like to meet this sweet boy please contact his Foster Jaimie 818-523-8948 garcia.jaimieb@gmail.comMarch 8, 2026, 8:45 pm
