Dogs for Adoption in Laguna Hills, CA: 20 Dogs Looking for a Home

Our beautiful Jewel was found as a pregnant stray and was brought to a shelter in San Bernadino where she gave birth to her babies. As you can imagine, that's simply no place to raise a family so CARMA brought Jewel and her brood to safety when the puppies were just a few days old. Jewel was an amazing and sweet mama right from the start. She's great with children and adults but will need to be an only child when it comes to other pets. She is totally potty trained, vaccinated, spayed and healthy. Jewel is super affectionate and smart. She's a big fan of belly rubs and just love in general. If you would like to meet and adopt Jewel, please apply at www.carmoc.org

Hi! My name is Cheeseburger and I am ready to have my own family who will spoil me and tell me I'm pretty. I am approximately 2.5 years old and I love to have fun. I think I like most dogs but haven't had much time to play with cats or children so I'm not sure how I feel about them yet. CARMA because I had pyometra and they took great care of me and got me spayed right away and made sure I was medicated and comfy. They also have worked very hard to help me gain some weight since I was pretty thin when I arrived. Also, don't worry about my eye, it's just a little small. It's not uncomfortable and will not need a lot to maintain. If you would like to meet me and make me your next true love, apply at www.carmaoc.org.
