4. Bisquit
Adult · Male · Whippet / Mixed (short coat) · 23 mi from Santa Clarita




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.

7. Cowboy
Senior · Male · Cattle Dog / Mixed (short coat) · 23 mi from Santa Clarita




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.

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.

Bringing a dog home to your cat
Tell the rescue about your cat: their age and how they react to dogs. A dog who has lived calmly with one cat may still want to chase a cat that runs.
Introduce them slowly. Keep them apart for the first few days and swap bedding so they get used to each other's scent, then let them meet with the dog on a leash, rewarding calm behavior.
Make sure the cat can always get somewhere the dog can't reach, like a high shelf or a room behind a baby gate, and keep the litter box and cat food out of the dog's way.
