Story
Wally is a two-year-old dog who has had the luxury of getting trained by one of the best trainers in Los Angeles- the K9 committee. Wally was with a family that didn't set him up for success, and he developed some fearful traits and anxiety. He's doing so much better and ready for his forever family. Wally likes bonding with one or two people and prefers a calm home. He gets along well with other dogs. Please visit our website bigloveanimalrescue.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.

Story
Please note that we are ONLY accepting applications from homes with at least one calm dog for Luke. To be successful, I must have the following: •A caring, calm owner • A back yard would be ideal • Another dog for Luke to play with • A crate to sleep in• A doggie door Hi, I’m Luke! I’m a shy, adorable boy, who will become your best friend once I get used to my new home. My favorite things are another dog to show me around the place, quiet walks with my pack, resting on a nice comfy dog bed, and playing with my friends.I’ve been in training recently and have learned so much! I walk nicely on a leash, can walk on a treadmill, speak doggie door, have excellent house manners, don’t help myself to furniture, take treats gently, ride nicely in a car, and I like to chase balls but don’t bring them back. I am told I’m an excellent companion, I’m not sure what that means, but I do love my trainer. I’m sure I will love you too; I just may need a little time to adjust to my new surroundings.I like to sleep in a crate at night, and hope you will follow some of my trainer’s suggestions. I am not the best with change, so a calm dog in the household, who can show me the ropes, is a must. I will thrive in an adult-only household with consistency, regular exercise, and no cats. I don’t like strangers and would prefer not to be in places with many people. I’m shy, remember? I should also share that I’m on meds for anxiety; no shame here, that are helping me to feel so much better! https://www.muchlove.org/animals/luke

What a cutie baby Buster is! He was found alone and scared in the streets at 2 months old. He's about 5 months old now and has already developed a big personality! He LOOOOVES to play with other dogs and toys. He's great inside the home and super affectionate. Buster is looking for an adult household with yard access. He would love to find a home with another dog as a companion that is young and playful. He has a friend named Cookie at our rescue so if you are looking for two dogs, these two are great together!
