Dogs for Adoption in Cerritos, CA: 20 Dogs Looking for a Home

Mack and his brother were dumped at a park, at 8 weeks old, left to fend for themselves. Luckily someone came and scooped them up to keep them safe! They made their way to our shelter and have been sweet, playful and just oh so adorable!

They are around 11 weeks old now, and ready to find loving homes that will treat them like family. We do not know what their breed mix is made up of, but we have them as Staffordshire Terrier mixes. Based on their current size, we are expecting them to be medium to large sized dogs when grown up, but cannot guarantee a specific weight range.

Skye is one of the scruffiest girls you’ll meet – we swear there is a dog under all that hair! She is some sort of Terrier mix, around 10 months old. We took her in from a rescue that we work with from time to time, who needed help placing some pups. Skye is a very friendly, active and playful girl that is sure to liven up your home!

She does well walking on leash, loves other dogs, and is just super fun! Now, getting her to hold still long enough for photos can be tricky, we promise she is much cuter in person.

This scruff-ball has so much love to give!

Zion is an absolute stunner of a dog, he is a 5 year old German Shepherd who turns heads everywhere he goes. He is a great dog that just needs a strong handler, familiar with the GSD breed. After about 3 years living in New Mexico, after being adopted from us in 2023, Zion had to return to the shelter through no fault of his own. Here at the shelter, he has made a lot of friends with our volunteers. They love to play fetch with him up in the yard! Zion is also a big lover of squeaky toys, the bigger the better!! He is so sweet with the people within his circle of friends here. Always rolling over for belly rubs, or leaning into them for booty scratches. This big guy also LOVES car rides!

Meet Oscar: a 5-year-old, 22-pound sweetheart with a big, happy smile and an even bigger personality.
When Oscar first came into foster care, he was the dog watching quietly from the corner, unsure whether people could be trusted. Four months later, he’s blossoming. He’s discovered a love of toys, so much so that he gathers all his favorites into one big pile. He plays fetch with enthusiasm and has a blast romping with other small dogs at the dog park. He’s even starting to enjoy walks, though he’s still getting the hang of them. And when it’s time to rest, you’ll find him burrowed deep in a blanket for a cozy nap.
Oscar is a one-person kind of dog.

Now, I have a completely clean bill of health, a 100% healthy ticker, and a big, bright future ahead.At 8 months old, I’m feeling fantastic and living life to the absolute fullest!
