1. Tiger
#A5536505
Meet
Tiger
, a 7-year-old Pitbull boy who absolutely lives up to his name with a striking brindle coat patterned in soft, muted stripes of cream and light brown! This big, gorgeous chonky meatball doesn't always show his best side in his kennel, where he can be a bit barrier-reactive, but once he's out, it's like meeting a whole new dog. Tiger has been wonderful with both people and other pups, and he's done fabulously in playgroup with his fellow four-legged friends! He has a fun, rough-and-tumble play style and a perfectly balanced medium energy level, so he'd do best with similar-sized dogs who enjoy the same kind of play. More than anything, this handsome boy is a big softie who eagerly seeks out pets and snuggles, with a loose, wiggly booty that lets you know just how happy he is to be loved. Come meet Tiger and discover the sweet, affectionate gentleman waiting outside that kennel!

5. Jackie
A57804261
Meet
Jackie
, an 8-year-old German Shepherd grandma who deserves to spend her golden years finally knowing what it feels like to be cherished! ❤️ This sweet, lovely lady has clearly had a hard life - she has fly-strike damage on her ears from spending too much time outside, signs of having been repeatedly bred, and some age-related lumps and bumps that haven't received the care they deserve. Jackie can be vocal and reactive when people or other dogs pass her kennel, which may be a reflection of the outdoor guard-dog role she was expected to fill, and she does seem a bit undersocialized with other pups. However, she

His silky-soft, short-for-a-Shepherd coat comes in rich shades of black and cream with just a hint of cinnamon, and he has the most perfect pair of tiny eyebrows that tell you exactly how he's feeling.

17. Kane
#A5805504
Meet
Kane
, a 5-year-old Pit Bull gentleman with a gorgeous slate-grey coat, accented by little hints of white on his chest and tippy toes! This sweet boy may not be feeling his best these days - he has arthritis in his hips and front right leg, so his new family will need to follow up with an outside veterinarian after adoption to help him get the care he deserves. But don't let his aches and pains overshadow the enormous amount of love this boy has to give - he's an absolute sweetheart who is eager to share it with everyone! Kane is wonderful with people and has also been calm and curious when meeting other dogs through the fence at the shelter. Sadly surrendered because his owner no longer wanted the responsibility of a pet, Kane also shows signs that he hasn't always received the care he needed. This good boy deserves a soft place to land, a family who will put his well-being first, and all the love he's been waiting for. Will that be with you?

18. Perla
#A5804871 Perla
is a beautiful young Pittie with a soft blue coat and an even softer heart. At just over a year and a half old, this precious girl is incredibly sweet and affectionate, but the busy shelter environment has left her feeling a little overwhelmed. During playgroup, Perla stayed close to her handlers, quietly seeking affection and reassurance while peacefully sharing space with other calm dogs. She's a gentle, low-energy sweetheart who could use a little extra nourishment, pampering, and, most importantly, someone to make her feel safe and loved. Perla is ready for a home where she can finally relax and let her sweet personality shine.

19. Squid
Meet Squid! Some dogs just have a way of stealing your heart, and Squid is definitely one of them!Squid was rescued in the 11th hour, just in time to escape euthanasia. After spending the last few months in foster care, this adorable boy is showing everyone just how much love he has to give.He’s goofy, playful, and absolutely thrives on attention. Toys are a favorite, and if there’s water around, even better! Squid would love an active family who enjoys including their four-legged companion in life’s adventures.He’s also a true Velcro dog. Once he loves you, he wants to be right by your side. Squid can be a bit of a Houdini when first settling into a new environment, so secure fencing and extra care with doors and gates are important until he understands that home is where the fun is.

23. Bruno
Meet Bruno
A sweet soul with a love for company and cozy blankets
Male • Standard Dachshund, mix • Approximately 5 years old • 24 pounds
With his warm brown eyes and affectionate nature, Bruno has a way of making you feel like the most important person in the room. He enjoys attention from adults and children alike, and when he’s especially happy to see you, he’ll stretch up against your legs to get a little closer.
Read more about Bruno
Bruno appreciates the simple pleasures: a leisurely walk, a tasty treat, a friendly game of chase, and a comfortable couch beside his people. In true dachshund fashion, he loves burrowing into pillows and blankets. If your idea of a lovely evening includes a cozy spot and a devoted companion, Bruno would be happy to join you.
He has been friendly and nonreactive with the dogs he’s met so far, both large and small. He plays appropriately with his foster sisters and enjoys their company. Found as a stray alongside another dog, Bruno also shared space with other dogs during his shelter stay.
Bruno walks beautifully on a leash, making outings together a pleasure. Toys haven’t caught his interest just yet; for now, people, treats, and his canine companions seem to be his favorite things.
He is still working on his indoor manners and currently marks in the home. His foster family is managing this with belly bands, and his adopter should be prepared to continue patient, consistent housetraining as he adjusts.
Bruno would love a family who will include him in everyday life, enjoy his affectionate personality, and give him the time and guidance he needs to settle in. Another friendly dog could be a lovely match, given how much he enjoys his foster sisters.
Could your home be Bruno’s next cozy place to land? Submit an adoption application through Dachshund Rescue of Los Angeles and tell us about the life you could share with this lovable boy.

24. Bianca
Meet Bianca! This little pup was rescued from Mexico, where she lived on the streets and had to fend for herself. Now that she's finally in a safe place, all she's missing is a human to give her the love and care she's been waiting for. Bianca is rather shy and scared at the moment, so she needs someone patient and willing to show her that the world isn't such a scary place. Adopt Bianca!

27. Oscar
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.
Read more about Oscar
That’s not because he’s unfriendly, as he doesn’t have an aggressive bone in his body, but because he looks to one special person for guidance and affection. Right now that’s his foster mom, who gets all the belly-rub requests. He’s shy with new people and probably won’t show his true self at a first meeting, but the way to his heart is simple: bring treats! He’ll happily take them from new friends, and he’s so food motivated that he’s a joy to train. Once he decides you’re his person, you’ll have a loyal, affectionate companion for life.
At heart, Oscar is a homebody. He’d do best in a calm, adult-only home with a yard, ideally with a friendly small dog who can keep showing him the ropes. He’s fully potty trained with zero accidents in the house, sleeps quietly in his dog bed in the bedroom, rarely barks, and is very healthy. He doesn’t guard his food or toys. Car rides make him a little nervous, but he does great once he arrives. He hasn’t lived with cats, but his foster thinks he’d likely do fine with them.
If you’re looking for a devoted sidekick with a smile that will melt your heart, Oscar is ready to meet you.

28. Princey
Meet Princey! I came to the rescue scared and worn down, convinced the world wasn’t safe. I had my babies to protect, and I wasn’t about to let anyone get close. But my foster family? They were patient. They showed me that trust isn’t something I had to earn back—it was something I deserved all along. Now I’m that dog who absolutely lights up when you walk in the room. I love affection, I love attention, and I’m so happy to finally be a dog again instead of just a survivor. My four boys, Duke, Baron, Prince, and Earl are growing up so fast, and watching them play and explore reminds me every day that I made the right choice to let people love me.

I'll be ready for my forever home soon. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal girl who’s learned what it means to be loved, I’d be so happy to meet you. ADOPT ME!

29. Petals
Hi! I'm Petals!
I was kicked out of a car and left to fend for myself, but someone saw what happened and has been looking after me for a couple of weeks before I came to Big Love Animal Rescue. Now I’m ready for the next step, which is a life where I’m safe and loved in a forever home. I’m a sweet girl who’s ready to trust again, and I’m so grateful for the kindness I’ve already been shown. I have a cherry eye that still needs to be addressed, so my new family will need to make that a priority. Once I’m settled, I’m ready to give my whole heart to someone who’s ready to love me.

30. Walter
Meet Walter! For about two years, my whole world was a fenced-off cement yard. I didn’t get to explore much, but I always kept my spirits up and waited for something better. Now I’ve seen the vet, and I’m all good to go. I’m ready for the next chapter: a yard of my own is optional, but a family to sit with on the couch is a must. If you’re looking for a loyal friend who’s been patient for a long time, I’d love to meet you.

Why adopt an adult dog in Monterey Park
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.
