1. Bisquit
Bisquit and a few little dogs were found abandoned on a property and brought to the Lancaster shelter. All his companions got adopted just poor Biscuit was left behind and put on the euthanasia list after he had been at the shelter for over a month. We were alerted about him and his story and from what we learned about his behavior we could not let him die in there, so off we went and saved his life.He is just the best dog! Sweet, mellow and so well behaved. His size is also perfect, not too small and not too big. :) he is also very dignified and likes to cross his legs when he is laying down.He was an abnormality in his skull, where the muscles have atrophied around his eyes and jaw.

We had him checked out by our vet who did a blood test to test him for a serious disease that could have caused this but luckily the test came back negative. We don't really know what could have caused this deformity but it doesn't seem to impair him in any way. He is acting like a completely normal dog and loves to hang with all his dog friends here at Paw Parent. But what he really would love most is to call a family his own. He gets attached fast and deep and is very loyal. He gets along with all dogs and he is housebroken. What mire do you want? He is perfect, please hurry before he is being snatched up by someone else!The shelter guessed his age at about 4, his weight is 37 pounds, he is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped and ready for his new adventure with his own new family. Please call 661-724-0642 or email us at pawparent@gmail.com if you want to meet him.

2. Cowboy
Paw Parent facilitated Cowboy's rescue from the Lancaster shelter in 2014. He was adopted by a couple that gave him a stable loving home until they ended in divorce this year and poor Cowboy became the innocent victim. Paw Parent was contacted and we welcomed him with open arms. How could we not? He is a 14 year old treasure, incredibly sweet with not a mean bone in his body.A couple of months after his arrival he started to have glaucoma in his left eye that did not respond to medication and got worse quickly. Glaucoma is not curable and treatment would be life long with no guarantee that the eye could be stabilized, so we made the difficult decision to have the eye removed.
Read more about Cowboy
He has recovered beautifully and is back to his happy go lucky sweet personality. His greeting when I come home is so heartwarming, he is so overjoyed that he literally serenades me with a beautiful song. He gets along with all the dogs here, is gentle, mellow and an absolute delight to have around. Unfortunately he cannot come to adoptions with us because he gets car sick. He is so deserving of a second chance of a home where he can live out his golden years. Will it be yours?He is neutered, microchipped and current on all his vaccines.Please call us at 661-724-0642 or email us pawparent@gmail.com if you would like to meet him.

10. 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!

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

Meet
Klara
, a 4-year-old Belgian Malinois girl who is every bit as gorgeous as she is lovable! This sleek, regal beauty has a blonde-brown coat dusted in soot and a striking all-black face that gives her a truly unforgettable look. Sweet, smart, and always ready to work or play hard, Klara is eager to please and has never met a person or pup she didn't like! She may be a little nervous when first meeting new people, but give her a moment and she'll transform into a total lovebug, gently bouncing up to say hello before settling in close for some affection. Once she's burned off some energy, she's more than happy to curl up in your lap - even if she hasn't quite figured out her size - and neck scritches are guaranteed to win her heart. If you're a Malinois lover looking for a beautiful, active, affectionate companion with brains and personality to spare, Klara is your girl!

Adopting a dog in Rosamond
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
