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.

Courtesy Post – Meet DOBBI Girl!

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

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.

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.

Meet Eli!

Female | 1 Year Old | Pitbull/Boxer/Husky Mix

Eli is a total sweetheart with energy to spare! This gorgeous girl is super friendly, super social, and always ready for her next adventure. She's looking for a home that can match her beautiful spirit.

Looking For

Rusty is a 1-year-old, 15-pound, neutered long-haired dachshund mix looking for a loving home. He’s currently fostered in Orange County.
Found on July 4, Rusty’s owners were never located. Now we’re helping this sweet boy find a family of his own. He enjoys walks, playtime, and the other dogs he’s met—and clearly knows how to settle in for a good cuddle!

Rusty seems to bond with men almost immediately. With women, he needs a little more time, patience, and gentle reassurance to feel comfortable. A home with plenty of companionship and people willing to let him settle in at his own pace would mean so much to him.

Meet Luna!

Luna is a beautiful 2-year-old girl who is looking for a fresh start after being surrendered by her family through no fault of her own.

This happy girl is very active, playful, and full of personality. She loves to run, play, explore, and be part of whatever her people are doing. She would thrive with an active family who can give her plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention.

Luna is also good with dogs and kids, making her a wonderful candidate for a family home. Once playtime is over, she’s happy to hang out with her people and soak up the love.
