Story

Andarna is looking for a new home because her parents are seldom home. Andarna is very excitable, has lots of energy and loves to jump and run. She has a good heart, is nonreactive to strangers and dogs outside of the home. Andarna is crate trained and should be supervised when outside of the cage, she is one and loves to chew on things that look yummy. Andarna knows where to go potty but will take it upon herself to use the bathroom on rugs, clothes, carpet, or couches if not taken out every few hours. Andarna does not use the bathroom in her crate, thus the Crate training. She needs a home where the owners preferably do not have small children, due to excited body movements (she has never shown any signs of aggression). With all her quirks, she is the most loyal, loving, and cuddly girl and needs a mom or dad that likes walks and has a yard. Andarna comes with a two month supply of food, a cage, toys, treats, and a 35 pound dog food holder.

Story

She was a stray that was tied to a tree. I really have no idea what her backstory is besides after I got her. I have no idea if she has her shots or anything or what age she is. My guess is she is around 6 or 7 in human years. She needs to be the only dog in home as I've gathered. She's a great dog, but my partner has allergies and I can't take care of her like I should. She knows basic commands though, and she loves attention. She's very territorial and protective.

Story

Poppy is a 1–2 year old sweetheart currently in Los Angeles, looking for a foster or forever home in the area. She’s the kind of gentle, happy girl who just lights up a room with her calm energy and wagging tail. We pulled her from a Kern County shelter literally one hour before her scheduled euthanasia, and she’s been proving every day since what a fighter and lover she is. She bounced back beautifully from pneumonia right after rescue and is feeling great now. She’s lined up for double leg surgery soon (fully covered by the rescue and amazing community donations), and in the meantime she’s still getting around on short walks like a champ. Watching her resilience has been incredible—she’s got so much joy to share. Poppy is friendly with everyone: dogs, people, and likely cats too, thanks to her easygoing vibe. She’s low-maintenance, affectionate in a quiet way, and perfectly content just hanging near her people. She’d be a wonderful fit for a kind-hearted family or short-term foster (we provide all supplies!) where she can keep healing surrounded by comfort. Poppy’s already overcome so much and greets life with such brightness—helping her become the healthy, happy pup she was always meant to be would be so rewarding. Local LA folks, she’s waiting for you! ##2353529##

Ava

American Staffordshire Terrier

Size

Details

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

Story

Ava is a nearly eight-year-old dog with a calm, gentle temperament and a very affectionate nature. She enjoys the quieter side of life—lounging in a sunny spot, following her person from room to room, and politely waiting for treats, which are one of her favorite things. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and generally easy to have around. Ava would do best as the only dog in the home, where she can have all of the attention to herself. She is treat-motivated, well-mannered, and eager to please, which makes living with her very easy and enjoyable. For someone looking for a mellow, loyal companion rather than a high-energy dog, Ava could be a great fit. She has plenty of love to give and is ready to bring a lot of quiet comfort and affection into the right home. ##2209641##

Story

Meet Roger, our resilient two-year-old pittie mix with a heart full of love and a story of survival. Before he ever reached the shelter, Roger was rescued from a heartbreaking situation—he had been living in a hotel room, confined in a crate with two other dogs. Despite all that, he remained gentle and kind, just waiting for someone to give him a chance. When Roger landed on the euthanasia list at a local Orlando shelter, he was saved just in time. Within hours of being pulled, it was discovered that he was suffering from gastroenteritis, and he had to be rushed to the ER. After treatment and a week of care with one of our amazing medical fosters, Roger made a full recovery. His most recent bloodwork came back completely clear, and he’s now healthy, strong, and ready for his forever home. Roger loves people of all ages, including kids, and is happiest when he’s around his humans. He’s still learning how to meet other dogs—he’s been with dogs before and shows potential—but for now, he would do best either as a solo dog or with slow, careful introductions. This sweet, affectionate boy has been through so much and come out shining. He’s finally ready to experience the comfort and love of a forever home where he can truly relax and be adored for the wonderful dog he is. Roger is ready for his second chance at happiness. ##2559761##

Story

PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL’S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! Hi… I’m Jackie 🐾💕 I’m a 1-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix with the sweetest, gentlest heart. I can be a little shy at first, but once I feel safe, I’m incredibly loving, loyal, and affectionate—I’ll follow you everywhere and happily cuddle up right next to you. I’m a quiet girl (I barely bark!) and love a calm, peaceful environment. I enjoy spending time outside—especially sunbathing—and I’m a big fan of cozy nights in bed with my person (I will absolutely try to claim a spot 😄). I get along great with other animals and LOVE having a dog friend to play with. I haven’t shown much interest in toys yet, but I really enjoy interacting and playing with other dogs. I’m also good with cats—I’m curious and want to play, so I’d do best with a patient or playful kitty. I’m leash trained, but I can be a little skittish on walks and like to stop and investigate sounds, so slower-paced walks are best for me right now. I’m still working on things like potty routines, crate training, and learning commands—I’ll need a patient family who understands that I may take a little longer to learn, but I’m trying my best. ✨ My ideal home: • A loving home with another dog to help build my confidence • A fenced yard where I can relax and explore safely • A family with kids or gentle companions • Someone patient who will continue helping me learn and grow • A home where I can cuddle, relax, and be close to my people I’m also a bit of a picky eater, so my future family might need to get creative and find what meals I love best 😋 From my foster 💬 “Jackie is so sweet and gentle. She barely barks and is incredibly affectionate. Watching her grow more confident and show her personality has been such a joy.” If you’re looking for a gentle, loving companion who will stick by your side and fill your home with quiet affection… I’m your girl 🐾💖 Adoption FEE: $ which includes his neuter, microchip, and vaccines.

Story

Baxter is an eight-month-old puppy with a big personality and an even bigger fan club. He’s about 30+ pounds, very people-oriented, and was selected to play in the 2026 Puppy Bowl, which suits him perfectly. He’s playful, affectionate, and full of that easygoing, happy energy that makes him fun to be around. He enjoys playtime, loves his treats, and is picking up leash manners and basic commands quickly. Baxter can be a little shy when he first meets someone, but he warms up fast and is soon ready to cuddle. He does well with dogs, cats, and kids, so he’s a good fit for many different types of homes. Baxter was rescued from the streets of Puerto Rico along with his siblings Maverick, Cash, and Stormi. In spite of his rough start, he’s a bright, friendly puppy with a striking blue eye and a very affectionate nature. He would do especially well in a home with another friendly dog to play with and learn from. For a family looking for a sweet, playful young dog who can keep up with an active life and then settle in for snuggles, Baxter has a lot to offer. He is ready for a home where he can grow up, be part of the family, and enjoy many more adventures. ##2514601##
