1. Belli
Adult · Female · Dachshund (short coat) · 13 mi from Apple Valley



Belli is a 6-year-old, 12-pound black-and-tan piebald Miniature Dachshund looking for her forever home! This sweet little girl has so much love to give. Belli gets along well with other dogs and would love a canine companion to keep her company. She enjoys going for walks, exploring her surroundings, and having space to play. A home with a yard would be a dream come true for her!
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.
Belli's dream home includes:

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.

5. Willow
Puppy · Female · Beagle / Mixed · 5 mi from Apple Valley



Willow is 3 months as of l0/1/26. We've got to figure out her breeds - we've never seen a beagle with this coloring, but she sure ain't a dalmatian. Very playful and has made lotsa friends at B&B.
She bites and scratches - most young kids will not like this. I know I didn't when my folks got me puppies when I was a kid. They did not think to get a nice adult, so I got my first dog when I was 31 yrs....and then a few years later lots and lots more~

12. 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

13. Cisco
Young · Male · Dachshund / Mixed · 5 mi from Apple Valley



Dear little Cisco is a real sweetie. Came in as a stray, shy and took no time to open up with help of Bubba and Pal, other little guys. And now the three of them are socializing sweetheart Stacy...White young terripoo who is probably hypoallergenic. Check out her pix and profile shortly.

14. Inky
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.

Sassy and her new human Mom bonded immediately and completely - and with kittie, too. You'd think they had lived/loved together since the beginning! B&B magic

23. Crypto
Adult (3 years 1 month) · Male · Terrier / Mixed (medium coat) · 42 mi from Apple Valley










Meet Crypto
Crypto may take a little time to decide you’re his person—but once he feels safe, you’ll get to see the sweet, gentle boy hiding behind that shy exterior.
This handsome guy is naturally a little reserved when meeting new people and settling into new surroundings. He isn’t the type to charge into a room demanding attention. Crypto likes to observe, figure things out, and build trust at his own pace. Give him that little bit of patience, and you’ll be rewarded with a wonderful companion who just needed someone to give him the chance to feel secure.
Read more about Crypto
Crypto has an easygoing, non-dominant personality and does well with other dogs. He’ll occasionally play with toys, but he isn’t possessive over them or his food. He’s crate trained and may serenade you with a few whines and his signature little “whistle” when he has something to say.
Like many dogs adjusting to a new home, Crypto may do some marking at first, so a belly band is a great tool during that initial transition. Once he understands the routine and realizes this is his home, we expect that behavior to settle as he becomes comfortable.
Quick Facts
Sweet, gentle and non-dominant
❤️ Shy at first and needs a little time to build trust
Does well with other dogs
Occasionally enjoys toys and isn’t possessive
️ Eats two meals a day and shows no food aggression

Located in Southern California
Crypto doesn’t need someone to rush him. He needs someone willing to let him exhale, learn the routine, and realize he’s finally home. Give this sweet boy a little patience and security, and you may just discover that the quiet ones have some of the biggest hearts. If you'd like to meet Crypto, please fill out our application here.

Adopting a small dog in Apple Valley
Small dogs suit apartments and smaller homes, are easy to take along, and many live well into their teens.
They still need daily walks, play and training. Small dogs can be fragile, so ask the rescue how they are with young children, who can easily drop or step on them.
