Paloma

Female, Puppy

National City, CA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Paloma was found in the streets of Los Angeles. She had a few minor injuries that she has already recovered from. Paloma is about 1 year old female poodle/maltese mix. She weights 15 lbs. She may get to 20 lbs max when she is fully grown. She is spayed and her shots are up to date. Her blood work came back clean. She is in great healt! Paloma is a smart and friendly girl. In just a few weeks, she learned to use the pee pee pads, to walk on the leash, and to wait until she is walked to go potty. She sleeps in her own bed throughout the night. She gets along with my three dogs. I have taken her to hang out with family and friends, and she loves EVERYONE. Paloma enjoys playing with other small dogs and kids. I have not introduced her to large dogs or cats, but I think she will be fine with both. She loves chewing on toys. She is not destructive, but she has stolen a few socks to play with them. Asking for a $250 rehoming fee to help me cover her sterilization and vet bills.

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Herman is a 3 year old terrier mix with so much love to give! Herman was found left alone at the Cabazon Dinosaurs, after waiting out his stray hold, when no one came to claim him, we busted him out of the Riverside Shelter. He is a gentle boy who would be a great work from home partner! He has not shown any food aggression and is great with his 2 foster siblings. When we found him he was unable to put weight on his front left paw - but the vets think this is a soft tissue injury that will heal with time (and love!). He is fully potty trained and loves to be outside. All this boy wants is to snuggle and give kisses. He will make an amazing addition to any home!

Story

I've had George since he was a 4 month old puppy. He is a great dog. George is a tricolor English Bulldogs. Unfortunately, I am forced to have him rehomed as a result of my busy work schedule. Additionally my allergies have become an issue and I cannot give him the proper attention he needs. He is a very loving bullie and good with kids. Note, George underwent entropion surgery which resulted in dry eye and blurred vision which requires daily cleaning of his eyes and artificial tears. Nonetheless, he is able to get around like a normal bullie.

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Max is the dog on the left in this photo, the black and tan. She is a beautiful young girl who was initially rescued as a small puppy with her family from a farm in the Central Valley where they were abandoned. She has been living with a foster and now she needs to find her forever family. She is very sweet, very playful, has lots of energy, and loves her people. She is dog friendly, not sure about cats. She'd be a great dog for an active person or family. She will need a decent sized yard to run around in, and some practice going on walks, since her current caregiver hasn't taken her on walks. She is good about going in her crate when she is told. She will need to be spayed, but is up to date on all vaccinations and is in perfect health. Please contact me at cmiller927@cox.net if interested in this girl, thank you!! **I'm having trouble getting her photo on here for some reason, but I can text or email you her photo --
