Dogs for Adoption in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA: 20 Dogs Looking for a Home

Are you or someone you know looking for a senior dog? One that is house trained and looking for someone to love them and be loved by them? Maybe Lady Bea is the one? Our Vet has put her at 10ish years old.
She is healing nicely from her surgeries and is looking for her forever home!
This little lady was in worse shape than we thought when we pulled her from San Bernardino City Animal Shelter last month, but she is definitely on the mend! Her ears have been cleaned - NO MORE foxtails (and there were a lot. ) Mammary tumors have been removed, she's been spayed, vaccinated, and chipped. Next up is her dental surgery.
If you're interested in Lady Bea or any of our rescue dogs, please apply http://www.causeforsbpaws.org/forms/form?formid=3251

Hi! My name is Kara, and I’m a beautiful little shepherd mix… although exactly what kind of shepherd mix is still a bit of a mystery.
My siblings and I had a pretty rough start. We were found abandoned in a box at a park by a Good Samaritan who took us home and bottle-fed us. He quickly realized that raising a litter of tiny puppies was a bigger job than one person could handle, so he reached out for help. That’s when a foster stepped in and welcomed my sister and me into her home.
Now I’m busy doing what puppies do best: growing, learning, playing, and showing off my personality. I’m sweet, smart, confident, and just the right amount of sassy.

Meet Chewie! ❤️

Chewie is an approximately 11-year-old Maltese mix who weighs 14 pounds, and this sweet little boy is ready for a fresh start and a loving home to call his own. He came to us as an owner surrender due to a life-changing family situation.

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.

Hi! My name is Amethyst and I am about 3 months old right now. CARMA took my mama in when she was still expecting and we are being raised in a foster home with children. I'm excited to find a home where I can play and be a part of a forever family. If you are interested in adopting me, please complete an application at www.carmaoc.org.
