Story
Hey there, thank you for considering RIN TIN TIN to be your new pupperino! If you're looking for a fun-loving, smart, and playful fluff, then look no further. RIN TIN TIN is a four-month-old baby with lots of energy and an even bigger heart. He's a social butterfly who loves meeting new people, getting attention, and receiving lots of tasty treats. This silly pup plays like a toddler, so he's always down for an adventure and needs a playmate. He's a great family dog and a true friend. He was raised by a lovely PUG mom, but his dad is a bit of a mystery. Some say he's a vagabond, but we think he might be a Boxer or Beagle. The only way to know for sure is to invite him into your home! RIN TIN TIN is ready to learn how to live with kitties and remember to potty outside. He's also great with other dogs and loves making new four-legged friends. Are you ready to make this cutie your lifelong companion? If so, please come meet RIN TIN TIN today! Born late January 2024; brother to Scooby Doo.

Story
Luke is a sweet 2 year old boy with IVDD. He has already had the surgery and has a wheelchair/wheels that he moves around well with. His owner was having mental health issues and needed to rehome him. A friend told me about this dog and how they were going to have to drop him at a shelter. I felt horrible about the situation and offered to try and help. Unbeknownst to me, sweet Luke was dropped at my doorstep and now needs a loving home. He just wants love and someone to hang out with. He has a bright light in his eyes and LOVES snuggles and head scratches!

Story
Odb was found on the streets of Long Beach. After getting him fully vaccinated fixed in microchipped he is ready for his help forever home. He is estimated to be about 9 years old about 24 lb and is a poodle mix. He is very easy going laid back and loves to cuddle. He loves to go and walks and enjoys just following you around the house. Huge you best with kids over the age of 10:00 as he has a little bit of older man. Or if he is around respectful children that also works as well. He is a great boy it would bring peace and love to a loving home.
