Max Needs A Foster or Adopter ASAP!
Max is a sweet male Chihuahua mix that is about 3-4yrs old and has medium length shiny black fur. He is a tiny little guy weighing only about 4lbs and can be held in one hand. He is a smart dog and good with other dogs and kids. He is a bit of an independent boy who likes to run ahead on you when out walking off leash on the trail, but one whistle and he comes back. He does like to snuggle and is not a high maintenance dog. He will make a great little family member!
Max was rescued from a high kill shelter and is currently in temporary boarding. He needs a loving Foster home or Permanent home ASAP, especially with the colder weather coming since a boarding situation is not so good for such a wee little guy. If fostering, we can deliver him to you with a crate etc.
If you are interested in fostering or adopting Max, please contact us ASAP.
Note: An application and approval process is required to foster or adopt.

Molly – No cats please

Molly Needs An Adopter ASAP!

Molly is a sweet young tan and white Cattle Dog mix and has a smaller build, weighing about 40lbs.
 
Molly had a tough past few months – she and her pups recently found themselves on Death Row at an over-crowded rural shelter that could not care for them. When we heard their story and saw the photos of this precious family, we knew we had to help. We were able to get them out of the shelter just in time and put them in temporary boarding to save their lives.
Molly has been a wonderful Mom to her pups, but now they are all ready to be placed in their own permanent homes, and she would like a home to call her own too!
Molly is a mellow girl that most enjoys human interaction. She doesn’t show much interest in other dogs. After all that she has been through, she can be timid and would like a home that can help her to gain her confidence. She should be in a home with no cats.
We are hoping a suitable adopter will step up and give her a forever home ASAP.
If you are interested in Adopting Molly, please contact us ASAP.

Jolie

CA1337.19193924-1-pn[1] CA1337.19193924-2-pn[1]

 

Age: 1yr   Breedx: staffie/small lab   Fur: short   Wt: 45 max   Training: house: yes obedience: yes basic   Good with: -humans: yes  -kids: yes  -dogs: yes well -socialized from pup, tho assertive approach  cats: not tested but unlikely unless you train

Our Jolie is a pretty little girl who grew up well-socialized with all dogs in boarding and has spent time rough- housing like the best of them with a huge mastiff boy in foster. If you like the bully breed energy, but cannot handle the normal size/strength, this is your girl. Her breed mix is making her smaller than average, while not losing the compact, sturdy build. Her unusually big, pointy ears, or sometimes only one of them:) go straight up when she is on alert.

She has not been leash-walked in ‘normal’ life too much yet, so pretty much everything that moves gets her alerted. Being an eager-pleaser, she will redirect well by the dog-savvy adopter willing to take the time to treat-train.

Of course Jolie looooves to cuddle and is eager to learn from you what is expected of her so she can be that loyal companion to you, and playmate for your compatible boy-dog.

“Little Miss Piggy” is a very sweet female Chihuahua/Doxie mix that is about 2-3yrs old. She weighs about 8lbs and has short white fur with tan spots which is easy to care for in daily life. 
She has a cute and funny way about her, and will walk or sit on her hind legs as if she thinks she is “Little Miss Piggy, Circus Performer”. She is an “entertainment center on 4 legs!” and will be a great addition to a family with kids (toddler size up). She is very funny and clownish with her acrobatic antics and will be a source of amusement for the whole family!
She gets along with other dogs, although like a true chi she will initially approach other dogs as if she is “a big bad dog”, but is completely harmless and then settles down. She did fine at her recent visit to a dog park. Also like many chi’s, she can not always be trusted to not pee on the carpet, so it is important to regulate her water intake and take her out regularly (or have her wear a doggie diaper).
She loves to be close to her humans, so she will dig under or go over a playpen to get to you.
She is not too fond of being crated and will whine unless she is very tired.
She is a very sweet, affectionate and communicative little girl. She is also fun loving and then when it’s time to relax she will snuggle up in your lap (an extra nice trait during the winter). :-)
“Little Miss Piggy” is a truly cute little companion that is good with kids and dogs (not tested with cats, although she is smaller than most cats) and is not high maintenance. She is eagerly waiting to find her new forever family!!

Rascal

 

“RASCAL” is a handsome Male Neutered AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD/COLLIE Mix, about 2-3yrs old, weighing about 60lbs, and has a gorgeous thick coat. He is an easy dog and does fine with other dogs.
Unbelievably, this poor boy was dumped by his owners at a rural SoCal shelter just because he was too curious and adventurous and escaped out of their yard. The shelter there is over-crowded so “Rascal” was scheduled to be euthanized simply due to lack of kennel space. The volunteer rescue staff there realized what a special boy “Rascal” is and sent out an Urgent Plea to the California rescue community to help save him. We stepped up to help this wonderful boy and arranged to have him pulled from the shelter just in time and put into a temporary boarding kennel to buy him more time.
Now “Rascal” Urgently needs a Foster or Adopter to provide him a forever home with lots of love and attention.
(Due to his eagerness to want to be with his humans, it would be preferable if he is not left outside alone as he is known to be an “escape artist” to go looking for his people. Therefore, he would do best in a home with a secure high fence or can be inside when left alone.) “Rascal” will make a great family dog and is ready and waiting to find his forever home!!
An application process and adoption fee will be required.

Bella

 

” BELLA” is a sweet and very cute young Female, Spayed Shepherd Mix. She is about 2-3yrs old and weighs about 40lbs.
Bella was at a rural overcrowded shelter in SoCal where her previous owners had taken her because they lost their home and could no longer keep her. Her family loved her very much and were extremely heart-broken and tearful when they had to lose her, but hoped she would at least find another loving family to provide her a new forever home.
Unfortunately the shelter had a high influx of dogs so it had to start euthanizing dogs that were already there to make kennel space, and sadly Bella was on that list. The volunteer rescue staff saw what a special girl she was and knew she had recently come from a loving family, so they sent out an Urgent Plea to the rescue community to save her.
We heard about Bella and stepped up and agreed to arrange to pull her from the shelter and transport her to temporary boarding to buy her a bit more time.
Now “Bella” needs a Foster or Adopter ASAP!!
“Bella” is a lovely girl that is well-mannered and will fit in easily with a loving family, so we want to give her that second chance to live out a long happy life.
An application process and adoption fee will be required.

Elle

“ELLE” is a GORGEOUS BLONDE GIRL that is a Lab/Shepherd Mix, about 1year old, and weighs about 40lbs. She is fine with other dogs her size. She has lots of energy on leash when it is time for a walk, but also loves to have quiet snuggle time too. She has basically not had any training yet, but she is easily directable and learns quickly. She will make a great family dog!
“Elle” was a stray that ended up in a rural SoCal shelter. The shelter was already over-crowded, and then received an influx of 100 dogs!! Therefore, many great adoptable dogs that were already there were put on the list to be euthanized, simply due to lack of kennel space. Sadly, darling “Elle” was on that list! The volunteer rescue staff there realized what a special girl “Elle” is and sent out an Urgent Plea to the California rescue community to help save her. We stepped up to help this precious girl and arranged to have her pulled from the shelter just in time and put her into a temporary boarding kennel to buy her time.
“Elle” now needs a Foster or Adopter to provide her a home environment with lots of love and attention.
An application process and adoption fee will be required.

Ms. Ruby (sweet young lady)

This sweet, dear young lady was rescued from a high kill shelter in south central valley.. on her last day b4 her ‘due date’.
She has been tested great with dogs.. she was kenneled with other pittie girls in animal control facility.
She is all wags and joy when it comes to getting human attention, and she will be so easily taught what is expected of her by her new human.
If you ( and your current dog companion?) are looking for a sweet young pittie girl to love.. pls contact us to apply soon!
She is currently being held in a boarding kennel after her in-home evaluation, and is so sad to be kenneled again.. she is not sure what is next for her.. but our commitment is that she will meet only loving human beings from now on!
Ruby is of course fully vetted, and therefore an adoption fee will apply.
