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.

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.

Breed: German Shepherd X DOB: 1/2021 Gender: male Altered: yes Coat: medium Size: large Color(s): black/brown/white Description: Needs a Foster Home This dog is in need of a foster home as well as a permanent home. If you are interested in fostering please fill out an online application. Hi, I'm Colby, a charming and spirited German Shepherd X seeking my perfect match! Surrendered by my previous owner to Lancaster Shelter, I have already shown my love for people and children, having lived with kids aged 5 and 11. I am vocal and food-motivated dog, making me a delightful companion for those who appreciate a communicative and affectionate pup.

Breed: French Bulldog X DOB: 10/2025 Gender: male Altered: yes Coat: medium Size: small Color(s): brown merle Description: Needs a Foster Home This dog is in need of a foster home as well as a permanent home. If you are interested in fostering please fill out an online application. Hi, I'm Anton, a fun and energetic French Bulldog X brimming with potential and in need of a loving home. I am a special guy who loves to play fetch and takes walks like a pro on a leash. I enjoy love, affection, attention, and toys, and can be a delightful companion for those who understand my needs. My previous owners had to surrender me because they could not provide the care I require.

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.

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.

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.

Meet Trixie! Trixie is a petite terrier mix who weighs just 9 pounds and has long, fluffy hair with a little coarse texture and the cutest curly fountain tail you’ve ever seen. We spotted her in a sea of small dogs at the Carson Shelter, and we’re so glad we pulled her. Her name means “charming trickster,” and she lives up to it every day. She makes her foster mom laugh constantly and runs around the house like a little circus dog doing parkour. She’s the smallest dog in her foster household, but she’s convinced she’s a big dog, and that confidence is part of her charm. She’s an excellent watchdog who’ll let you know who’s coming, who’s going, and who doesn’t belong. She reads the room well, too. When it’s time to rest, she follows suit, and at night she loves to burrow under your covers. During the day, she loves to play, chew on toys, and sprint from one end of the house to the other. She adores other dogs, enjoys playing with her foster siblings, and is a reliable referee during a game of tug-of-war. She’s a little cautious with new people at first, but once she sees you’re good, she’s in your face, giving kisses and happy to be held. Trixie is the dominant girl in her home, and she does best with a dog companion who matches her energy. She’s spayed and fully vaccinated, and she’s about 95% potty trained, so she’ll need a watchful eye to get outside on time. She’ll be the best and most entertaining little companion for life!

Dobbi, our beautiful Doberman with the perfect size and an even more beautiful heart! ❤️

Dobbi Girl was used for backyard breeding, and when she was no longer needed, she was dumped at a shelter. Not only did she lose her puppies, but she also lost the family she knew and found herself alone on the cold shelter floor.

Dobbi was scheduled to be euthanized, but just minutes before her scheduled euthanasia, she was given a second chance at life. Now, this sweet girl deserves a chance to find the loving forever home she has always deserved.

Age: Approximately 1.5 years old

My name is Pippa, and I’m beautiful, spoiled, and pretty good at getting my way! My favorite hobbies include playing ball, going for car rides, eating, and chasing my foster family’s cats (although I’m not quite sure what I’d do if I ever caught one!). I also love kids—and their parents, too! I do have one little habit you should know about: I love chewing on anything left on the floor. So, the rule is simple: Pick up your shoes, or I’ll pick them up for you!

If you are interested in fostering please fill out an online application. Hi, I'm Seraphine, an enchanting Anatolian Shepherd X rescued from a high-stress shelter environment and I'm ready to embrace a brighter future. I was previously adopted from the shelter, but was returned because I was getting bigger than expected. With a new lease on life at CARL, I've bounced back with a smile and a wagging tail and can't wait for my true forever family to come and take me home.

My original family adopted me from the pound when I was 14 weeks old. I am now being fostered because my humans could no longer keep me due to health issues. I have lots of energy and enjoy long walks, playing fetch, and cuddling. I am loyal and protective, and I alert my humans when someone new enters my home or when someone is outside. I miss my sister Rosie from my original family. I would love a family where I can feel safe and protected, with a big yard where I can run and play. I’m excited for my next adventure with a loving family.

I’m Cubby, a friendly, affectionate guy who loves being with people! Once I get to know you, I’m a real cuddlebug who loves belly rubs, being brushed, snuggling up, and settling in for a cozy nap. I enjoy other dogs too—except when I’m on a leash. I also have a playful side and love chasing balls, so I’m equally happy having fun or relaxing by your side. If you’re looking for a sweet, loving companion who will happily fill your days with playtime, cuddles, and companionship, I’m your guy!
