1. Belli

Belli is looking for a special kind of home. Belli struggles with separation anxiety, and being crated makes her anxiety worse. She needs a patient, understanding family who can help her feel safe and secure. Someone who is home most of the day, such as a stay-at-home parent or someone who works from home, would be ideal.
A friendly dog companion, a loving family, leisurely walks, and a yard to explore would help Belli thrive.

3. Ryder

Young (1 year 9 months) · Male · Beagle / French Bulldog / Mixed (short coat) · 42 mi from Apple Valley

Meet Ryder

Ryder may have the shortest little legs and the longest little body, but this adorable Beagle mix has a heart that is absolutely HUGE! This sweet boy has been through quite a journey, and we think it's about time his story gets the happiest ending!

Read more about Ryder

When Ryder first joined OURS, he discovered the wonderful world of unlimited kibble and, well, let's just say he got a little carried away! He gobbled up so much food that his belly ballooned, sending us straight to the emergency vet in a panic. As it turns out, Ryder simply has some wonky ribs that make his tummy look a little unusual when it's full. Everything works just as it should, and all that kibble digested without a hitch! Crisis averted, and Ryder earned himself a pretty funny story!

But Ryder's journey hasn't been all laughs. He came to us with his sister, his very best friend and partner in crime. Sadly, she lost her battle with complications from distemper, leaving Ryder to figure out the world without her. And while our hearts broke for this sweet boy, Ryder showed us just how resilient a little dog can be.

He learned to stand on his own four very short legs, make new friends, and embrace life with the sweetest spirit imaginable. Today, Ryder is a happy, loving little guy who is ready to leave the hard chapters behind and start his greatest adventure yet — a forever family of his very own!

Quick Facts About Ryder

Breed: Beagle Mix

Personality: Incredibly sweet, lovable, and resilient

Special Features: Long body, teeny-tiny legs, and adorably wonky ribs!

Dog Friendly: Has learned to make new canine friends

Health: His unique rib structure doesn't interfere with normal digestion or function

Looking For: A loving forever family to call his own

Located in: Southern California

Ryder has already experienced love, loss, and a few unexpected adventures in his young life. Through it all, he's held on to that beautiful, gentle spirit that makes him so special.

Now it's Ryder's turn to be someone's whole world. He doesn't need anything fancy — just a family who will love his funny little body, cherish his enormous heart, and promise that the best days are still ahead. Could you be Ryder's happily ever after? If you are interested in meeting Ryder, please apply here.

❤️ We believe every dog deserves to be loved and safe.

16. Harley

Adult (3 years 1 month) · Female · English Bulldog / American Staffordshire Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 42 mi from Apple Valley

Meet Harley

There are some dogs who walk into your life and immediately make you smile, and Harley is absolutely one of them. This short, stout, snorty little English Bulldog mix is three years old and quite possibly one of the most adorable bulldogs we’ve ever met.

Read more about Harley

Harley was found on an incredibly hot day seeking shade on someone’s porch. Thankfully, an animal advocate took her in, kept her safe and did everything possible to locate her family — but no one ever came forward. And considering someone made the decision to butcher this beautiful girl’s ears, we’re perfectly okay with Harley closing the door on that chapter of her life. Because despite whatever came before us, Harley is absolutely full of all the good stuff.

Quick Facts

Age: 3 years old
Breed: English Bulldog mix
Dog Friendly: Yes — she would benefit from continued socialization and proper introductions
Personality: Affectionate, energetic, goofy and devoted
Favorite Things: Toys, attention and making sure absolutely nothing remains inside the toy box
Location: Southern California

Harley is a compact little ball of energy, snorts and personality. She loves being part of whatever is happening and has that wonderful bulldog combination of being completely ridiculous one minute and incredibly loving the next.

She also takes her toys very seriously. Harley believes the only appropriate way to choose one is to first remove every single toy from the toy box. Once everything is scattered around and available for proper consideration, she will finally select the one she wants to play with. We don’t make the rules.

Harley is dog friendly, but she could use a little more experience navigating the doggie social scene. Continued positive socialization and thoughtful introductions will help set her up for success and allow her to build confidence in her canine relationships.

More than anything, Harley is ready to belong.

She’s looking for the family who will love her funny little quirks, appreciate every snort and wiggle, keep that toy box well stocked and give her the security of knowing she is finally home.

And in return? Harley will give you her whole heart and become one of the most dedicated companions you could ever ask for. Could Harley be the one you’ve been waiting for? If you are interested in adopting Harley, please apply here.

We believe every dog deserves to be loved and safe.

17. Jessie

Young (1 year 1 month) · Female · Chihuahua / Greyhound / Mixed (short coat) · 42 mi from Apple Valley

Jessie is a joyful little firecracker who approaches life at full speed! This playful, energetic girl absolutely loves other dogs and is happiest when she has a four-legged friend to wrestle with, chase around the yard, and join her for a serious case of the zoomies.

Jessie is still learning how to channel all that enthusiasm, but underneath the wiggles is a sweet, social girl with so much potential. She’s looking for a family who will give her the exercise, structure, confidence, and training she needs to become her very best self.

Quick Facts

Wonderful with both big and small dogs

Would thrive with a playful, well-mannered canine companion

Read more about Jessie

Cats are unknown, but she can be tested

Best suited for older children or teens due to her enthusiastic puppy energy

High-energy, playful and always ready for fun

Loves toys and happily carries them around

No food or toy guarding with people or other dogs

A home with a secure yard and room to run would be ideal

Would benefit from continued training, confidence building and consistent routines

Can be nervous around unfamiliar people on walks and needs a securely fitted harness and patient guidance

Crate trained for sleeping and when her people are away, although she is still working through some anxiety and FOMO when she knows fun is happening without her

A confident, well-mannered resident dog could be a wonderful role model for her

Located in Southern California

Jessie can initially be shy with new people, particularly men, and she appreciates being allowed to make friends at her own pace. Once she feels comfortable, her playful personality takes center stage. She’s very much a “follow the pack” kind of girl and looks to the dogs around her for cues, which is another reason we think the right canine sibling could be fantastic for her.

Right now, some of Jessie’s extra energy and frustration are amplified because she is recovering from her spay and hasn’t been able to run, wrestle, and play the way she normally would. When she gets excited, she can be vocal and occasionally mouthy in that silly puppy way, so she’ll need someone willing to patiently teach her appropriate ways to channel her enthusiasm. She’s also learning that shoes, hats, and other tempting human belongings aren’t actually dog toys!

Jessie isn’t looking for a quiet, sedentary life. She wants activities, adventures, zoomies, toys, training, and preferably a dog friend who thinks wrestling is just as much fun as she does. Because she needs room to burn off energy and can be vocal when excited, apartment living probably isn’t the best fit.

With an active family, consistent boundaries, plenty of appropriate exercise, and some confidence-building along the way, we think Jessie is going to absolutely blossom. She may not be a couch potato or champion cuddler just yet—there are simply too many exciting things to do!—but for the family looking for a funny, spirited little sidekick who will keep life interesting, Jessie might be exactly their girl. If you are interested in adopting Jessie, please apply

Adult (2 years 1 month) · Female · Dachshund / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat) · 42 mi from Apple Valley

Meet Inky

Some dogs run straight into your arms. Others make you earn your way into their heart—and somehow, that makes every little piece of their trust feel like a gift. Inky is one of those dogs.

Inky came to us with her Dachshund-mix family after living in a home where the dogs were used for breeding. She appears to be a little older than the others, and it’s entirely possible she may even be their mama. We may never know exactly what role Inky played in their previous life, but we do know that she arrived as the shyest of the bunch.

Read more about Inky

This beautiful girl prefers to observe things from the perimeter while she decides whether everything is safe. But look closely and you’ll realize something important: Inky wants connection. She watches you with the most soulful eyes, and when your eyes meet, you can almost see her working up the courage.

Then, slowly, she makes her way over.

And before you know it, this cautious little girl is crawling into your lap.

The first time we saw Inky’s tail wag was pure magic. It may seem like such a small thing, but in rescue, sometimes a tail wag tells an entire story. It told us that somewhere underneath all that uncertainty was a little dog beginning to believe that maybe she was safe. Maybe these humans were good. And maybe being loved could actually feel pretty wonderful.

Quick Facts

Dachshund mix with that adorable long Doxie body

A little older than the others in her family—and possibly their mama

Shy, gentle & wonderfully sensitive

Has the most beautiful, soulful eyes

Wants connection even when she’s still working up the courage to ask for it

Will quietly make her way over and crawl into your lap

Her trust is something truly special to earn

Needs patience, reassurance & continued confidence building

Accustomed to having canine companions

A little chunkier than the rest of her crew—more Inky to love!

Would benefit from a family familiar with Dachshunds and their long-back care needs

Located in Southern California

Inky isn’t going to be the dog bouncing at the front of the crowd demanding your attention. She’ll be nearby, watching and wondering if you might be someone she can trust.

Give her the time to answer that question for herself.

Because the moment those soulful eyes meet yours, that little tail starts wagging, and Inky quietly climbs into your lap, you’ll understand just how precious it is to be chosen by her. If you are interested in meeting Inky, please fill out our application here.

If happiness had four legs and a wagging tail, it would be Boris.

Boris is the kind of dog who finds joy in everything. He loves people, loves other dogs, and approaches life with an enthusiasm that's impossible not to smile about. Whether he's making new friends, playing with his buddies, or soaking up attention from his humans, Boris is simply happy to be included.

Like any fun-loving pup, Boris can get a little rambunctious during playtime. He gets excited, throws his whole heart into having fun, and sometimes forgets just how big and strong he is. With continued guidance and an active home, he'll continue to grow into the wonderful companion he's already becoming.

Right now, Boris receives plenty of love and time outside of his crate in rescue, but we know he'll truly flourish in a home where he can be part of the family's everyday life. He's ready for a place where the crate is only used when his people are away and the rest of his days are spent making memories with the people he loves.

29. Big Boy-Fabulous Personality

Adult · Male · English Mastiff · 5 mi from Apple Valley

Big Boy and Frenchie girl Nugget came in together. So interesting reading up on English Mastiff. Says they are docile, dignified, protectors, working dogs. He has a broad head and droopy ears...we love those! He is sensitive and tunes into his person's vibrations.
We are curious to know his exact weight, and will update this profile when we learn it. Probably good with cats, too.
Tremendous companion - we don't know anything about this odd couple's history. Wouldn't it be great if they could get adopted together? Please come and meet him - come and walk, hang out with our dogs...soak up some love.
Come meet n greet him - really a nice guy! Sure would like to have a photographer and internet savvy helper to post on the web.
He and Wanda hung out in playground with a 10 lb terrier adult - great trio. Excellent with human youngsters as well.

Why adopt an adult dog in Apple Valley

An adult dog's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are already house-trained.

Grown dogs need less supervision than puppies and often know the basics, like sitting and walking on a leash, which suits people who work or have young children.
