13. Kara

Puppy (1 month 29 days) · Female · German Shepherd Dog / Mixed (short coat) · 21 mi from Yorba Linda

Kara, a female German Shepherd puppy up for adoption

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.

28. Lucy

Puppy · Female · Border Collie / Australian Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat) · 19 mi from Yorba Linda

Lucy, a female Border Collie puppy up for adoption

New puppy incoming on the site
At just less than 3 mos old, Lucy is living proof that a little bit of "extra" makes a puppy extra special. She was born February 27 meaning she’s a Pisces and anyone who knows a Pisces will know that she too is also intuitive and creative. She has a fiery personality and the days are never dull with her around. Lucy was risking life at the shelter due to her quirks that makes a breeder view dogs as disposable. Lucy is majority border collie with Aussie mixed in there and while it’s too early to tell, she is likely nearsighted in one eye and slight of hearing. Despite this, she tracks movement beautifully and gets around just like any other puppy.

Adopting a puppy in Yorba Linda

Puppies usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're weaned and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.

Ask the rescue how big the puppy is expected to grow and which breeds they think are in the mix, so you can plan for the dog they'll become.

Puppies need a lot of your time: house-training, a few minutes of training every day, several small meals, and someone home often enough to let them out. A puppy class is a good way to start.
