Story
Baby Bear is a 9 year old pitbull mix. He was rescued on November 14 of 2014. We estimated he was 3 months at the time, we found him crated and abandoned. It took a long time to get where we are now, he was a hard rescue to train because he was so frightened from the moment we found him. He is house trained and knows MANY commands and is always learning. He is not good with other animals and unfortunately we found out he is not good with babies. We have a 5 week old at home, he was doing well until recently. We believe he sees the baby as an animal and wants to attack the baby. Due to this we need to find a new home. We tried different tactics to help with the adjustment but unfortunately none have worked. He is sooooo loved and I want the best for him. Right now we are keeping him in his crate (he is crate trained) for the majority of the day which is unfair for him. He is an indoor dog and has been all his life. He had double knee surgery in 2020.

Story
Rocky and his sister are the epitome of a lap dog. they are inseparable. Rocky is a protector and will bark to let you know he’s there but easily shushed. He is not aggressive but acts like it . he enjoys walks and being petted. Sissy loves to cuddle. Both of them can be left in their kennel for extended time with no issues. we took them over after my wife's mother passed away but we live in a condo with 2 other dogs and it has been more work than we can manage. We have a cage and dog bed that can go with them too

Story
Sad to post, but I need to re-home my dog Tyson . He about 3 years old. Very sweet dog. Not socialized with other dogs or with young kids. Looking for a new owner that can give him the attention he needs- He is an inside dog - house trained. Needs a yard to play in. I don't walk him often, especially on the street because he drags his nails. Loves to fetch and play tug. I paid $5,000 for this dog and have have all of his bloodline paperwork and microchipped. I will let him go for a reasonable price... Looking for the right owner , and will not give him away as a need to know he is cared for. I work too much , and the area I live in is too hot to keep him outside while I am away, otherwise I would keep him and possibly stud him as well.

Story
Loving dog looking for new home. Would do best with a single lady that she can devote all her love to. Does well with cats and other similarly sized dogs. Is nervous around men and unfamiliar guests. Is fully potty trained - uses doggy door without prompting. Low energy and just wants to snuggle next to her person. Was my grandmother's dog, but she can no longer care for her. Likes walks but is okay without them if she has access to yard (grandmother could not walk her). Small rehoming fee and interview to ensure she goes to good home.

Story
Rex was saved from the Coachella Valley Animal Campus in Riverside County. It is one of the highest kill shelters in the nation. He was a litter of 8 and is being fostered in the Coachella Valley. He is a star ⭐️ in the making! He is crate trained, walks fairly well on a leash. Sleeps through the night from 8pm-6am normally with no accidents. He loves other dogs and people. He knows sit, come, he sits before he eats and is working on stay or wait, he is silly and sweet! Loves chew toys and can actually be chill sometimes in his kennel. He enjoys walks, sunbathing and water play! He has been lovingly raised in a home with his brother Roo and 3 small dogs. Although he would do best in a home with dogs his size or bigger. He will be around 45lbs full grown. He is food aggressive and will need to be fed in a spot all his own. He can take treats with other dogs but must be told when it is his turn. Needs a strong leader who is kind and loving.

Story
🐾 FROM SURVIVAL TO SECOND CHANCES: THREE HEARTS SEEKING FOREVER HOMES 🐾 In a story of resilience and hope, THREE remarkable 9-month-old Malinois puppies have defied the odds after being abandoned in the harsh desert. These incredible survivors spent nearly a month battling extreme temperatures and coyotes before being picked up by Animal Control - a testament to their extraordinary will to live. These precious little souls were just hours away from euthanasia when we stepped in to save them. Now fully vaccinated, spayed, and showered with love, these "Love Bugs" are ready to complete your family. Their gentle spirits shine through in their interactions with both humans and other dogs, making them perfect companions for any loving home. Every tail wag and loving nuzzle from these survivors reminds us that sometimes the most beautiful hearts come from the most challenging beginnings. Could you be the forever family these deserving pups have been waiting for?
