Kirby is a 14 month old young gentleman who is simply an all around incredible pup.

He is polite, obedient and super smart.

This good boy really loves his doggie friends and would LOVE to join a stable pack or even just have another K9 companion.

He is the kind of dog that you can trust in just about any situation.

We have no idea why such a good boy found himself without a home, but we can certainly attest to the fact that it’s their loss. As the old saying goes, “one man’s trash, is another man’s treasure. “

7. Cash

Young · Male · Akita (medium coat) · 25 mi from Jurupa Valley

CASH is available for adoption!! He is a young male akita that is friendly and has gotten along with friendly dogs through the fence. He has done well with his bath, walks well on leash, and is a very sweet young boy. Cash was rescued from the shelter at a very young age and appeared to never know what a loving home or human was. He was always friendly but did not know how to connect with affection. He also had high anxiety in crates or small kennels and in cars. We have been working with him and he has become an affectionate boy!! He did not know what toys were and now loves to chase balls and play tug of war! Cash still has serious anxiety in cars and small spaces, maybe due to neglect or abuse at a very young age but we are working with him and he is starting to ride in a car without sedatives. His anxiety does not display in any mean type of behavior just panic, where he wants to escape. Cash is very trainable and an adorable boy that is easily handled in the bath, on walks and has no food or toy aggression. He has grown so much with love and needs a home that can continue encouraging his growth and help him leave his fears behind forever!!

8. Boris

Adult (3 years) · Male · American Pit Bull Terrier / Shar Pei / Mixed (short coat) · 20 mi from Jurupa Valley

Courtesy Post

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.

Read more about Boris

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.

❤️ Affectionate, social, and eager to be part of the family
Playful, goofy, and full of joyful energy
Would thrive in a home where he can spend lots of time with his people

13. Mishka

Adult (2 years 2 months) · Female · Cane Corso Mastiff (medium coat) · 17 mi from Jurupa Valley

Mishka is a 2 year old gorgeous Cane Corso. She is a little insecure when she first meets new friends, but once she trusts that she is safe, she is a giant baby.

This big moose loves deeply and gets soo excited when her favorite people get anywhere near her. If she hears you wake up in the morning, her giant club of a tail starts thumping the ground while she lays there waiting for her morning huggies.

She then goes into full body wiggle mode because she can’t contain her excitement that her favorite person is right there with her. She loves to run in the yard and she is a total cuddle bug.

Read more about Mishka

She’s not an “everyone” dog, but when she picks her people, she loves so deeply that you can feel it. Watch out though, if you are a flip flop fanatic, she has no mercy, she will step right on those toes as she goes in for a hug!

Adopting a large dog in Jurupa Valley

Large dogs need room to stretch out and plenty of exercise: at least one good walk a day, and a secure yard is a bonus. Check your lease too, as some landlords limit the size or breed of dog.

Start training from day one. A big dog who walks nicely on a leash and doesn't jump up is a pleasure to live with, and many rescues can recommend a local trainer.
