My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Luther! 🐾

Luther is a 3-year-old, 24-pound Dachshund mix with a gentle spirit and a love for canine companionship. While he may be shy at first, he truly shines when there’s another dog around to guide him. For this reason, Luther must go to a home with another playful dog who can help him feel confident and secure.

In playgroups and adoption events, Luther has shown great progress, becoming more friendly and learning to enjoy playtime with others. New surroundings, people, and dogs can make him a bit nervous at first, but with patience, time, and understanding, he warms up beautifully as he grows comfortable with his environment.

Luther is crate-trained, though he may need some extra encouragement (and treats!) to adjust to a new space. He would thrive with continued positive reinforcement training to help him perfect his manners and build confidence.

Playtime is one of Luther’s favorite things, and he would love to keep you entertained with his antics! Despite his playful energy, he also appreciates a calm and structured routine to help him feel secure.

Luther was found as a stray alongside another dog, and it seems he followed their lead as they wandered together. His history remains a mystery, but his future is bright, and he’s ready to find a loving home with another dog who can help him flourish.

More about this rescue

Small Breed Rescue of Southern California is an all-volunteer, non-profit, foster based organization funded by donations. We are dedicated to rescuing small breed dogs, small reptiles and select exotic pets primarily from public shelters and other rescues. Being committed to keeping administrative expenses low, virtually every dollar received goes directly to the care of the animals.

Our rescue is uniquely structured to rehabilitate animals who are at high risk of euthanasia due to manageable behavioral challenges, such as dogs who are declining in a shelter environment or reptiles / exotics that have not been properly handled over their lifetime. We develop relationships to accommodate these specific assistance needs, which is what differentiates us from other rescue organizations.

We have assembled a foster team that consists of experienced individuals who bring particular skills from the animal welfare industry. This enables us to grow, educate and enrich our foster community in a manner that supports our specific needs and those of our animals.

Our group remains interested in and committed to the welfare of the animals beyond the adoption process by providing education, training tips, resource references, and an open door policy to our adopters.
