Story
Meet Joel...an extremely sweet, gentle and loving boy rescued from Devore Shelter.  I can't believe nobody adopted this boy, but when he became urgent, we swooped in to rescue him before it was too late.  Joel is just a puppy...he's playful, eager to please and has a wonderful disposition.  He is sweet and playful with all dogs he meets.  Joel is house-trained and we are working on crate training.  Joel needs a little encouragement still on a leash, but we are working on that too.  This boy is eager to please, so he will be so easy to train!  He is gorgeous and a love and deserves a wonderful, loving home.  Joel is neutered, microchipped and up to date on all vaccinations (including rabies).  Joel's adoption fee is $450.  For more information on Joel, please call Krissy at (949) 456-7032 or to fill out an application for adoption, visit www.greendogfoundation.org and thank you for looking to rescue!October 20, 2025, 8:03 pm

Story
Meet Mosey Fields,  a very special  puppy  who is  just under one year old. Mosey has a neurological condition, most likely Cerebral Hypoplasia, which makes him a special-needs dog. Despite his challenges, Mosey is a joyful and big-hearted pup. We recently put him in a jacuzzi with a swim vest, and he learned a lot about connecting his body with his brain. Initially, Mosey used to squirm on the floor like a reptile, but now  he  walks and romps  around  without a harness. Although he still does well with a harness for stability, he can now walk  by himself  in a large carpeted bedroom area. Mosey has made  great  progress -  he  has learned to track, make eye contact, jump on and off the couch, and loves to cuddle. He has also been playful around other dogs and adores people. This little fighter will benefit from a wheelchair and  will  thrive in a loving home. Consider making him a part of your family, and he will return the love and continue to grow into the best version of himself. If you're interested in adopting Mosey, please fill out an application at www.doggiebonez.com. You can also check out our social media pages on Instagram (@Doggie_Bonez_Inc_) and Facebook (Doggie Bonez) to see more of Mosey's cuteness. Our dog adoption fee, which includes vaccinations, fecal testing, wellness exams, microchipping, spaying, or neutering, is $500. If adoption isn't feasible, please consider fostering one of our pups. We are a volunteer-run non-profit dog rescue and always welcome new short or long-term doggie foster families. Doggie Bonez will provide you with everything you need, including dog food, a bed, toys, medical attention (if required), and more. So, if you're interested, please visit www.doggiebonez.com to see all of our available dogs who need a foster family while waiting for their forever home and complete the foster application.November 2, 2024, 7:31 pm

Story
APPLY DIRECTLY ON OUR WEBSITE, https://www.karmicrescue.org WOW! What a good-natured and soft-hearted fella. He is pleasant with dogs, cats, and people. He learned early on to be amiable and he gets along with all the dogs in the foster home, loves to go for walks and will most definitely appreciate your willingness to continue his training. He already walks pretty well on a leash, sleeps in his doghouse, and is learning commands, so we know he is a smart one, too. One more specialness about him is he will share his food, which is a clear indication of his easy going side. Of course the breed is a guess; He is only 18 pounds but looks like a Aussie or even a Great Pyrenees, but he's only 18 pounds. What do you think?

Story
Guppy was born February 8, 2022! My sister rescued her from someone keeping her chained to a tree. She was born completely deaf but that doesn’t stop her from living just as happy as any other dog. We only notice it when we need to get her attention but it’s easy to work around that. She loves having kitties as roommates but doesn’t need to interact much at all! We took her in when my sister realized her kids were very allergic. She also was incredibly anxious with the older kids. We have since had a child of our own and he is now on the move. She is sadly becoming more anxious despite boundaries and keeping them separate. We will be moving to a one bedroom apartment soon and it will be even harder to keep them separate. As hard as it is to rehome her, she deserves to be in a stress free home! She loves her sniff walks more than anything! She can interact with other dogs but she has strict boundaries with them. She loves being an indoor dog and loves all the attention she can get!

Story
Winnie is lab/pitbull/australian shepherd. She will be 3 years old in February. She is a very smart and sweet girl with a lot of energy. She craves a lot of attention and loves playing with her brother. She struggles with jumping on people and nipping. She was previously food aggressive and aggressive with other dogs however, she has relaxed quite a bit recently. Unfortunately, she needs more time and attention than we are able to offer her. She is used to being around children. Hoping to rehome her and her brother Harvey together.

These pups are in San Clemente, California too!
