Story
Chip is a 5-year-old bundle of love looking for his forever home! This strong and dense boy may be sturdy on the outside, but inside, he's all heart. Affectionate and attention-loving, Chip thrives on belly rubs, head scratches, and quality time with his people. He’s also super adaptable—whether it’s a cozy night in or an adventure outside, Chip is happy to be right by your side. He’s already mastered sit and stay, is crate trained, making him a great companion for someone looking for a well-mannered pup. Chip does well with other dogs, and is always up for a tasty snack (or two)! Now, all he needs is a loving home where he can share his big heart and loyal spirit. Interested in adopting this pet?

Laguna Niguel, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Stewart is a very sweet little dog. He loves to cuddle and is very affectionate. He does like to bark when delivery people come to the door or when someone rings the doorbell or knocks. He came from a home where he was bullied by larger dogs so will bark at larger dogs when walking. Although he has gotten better about this. Stewart is house trained and doesn't have bad habits as some dogs, (i.e. chew things up). He weighs about 7 lbs., is up to date on his shots, and recently had his teeth cleaned. Honestly he is one of the most loyal, affectionate and loveable dogs. He LOVES kids. The only reason I need to re-home him is that I'm moving to take care of my daughter in TX who has breast cancer. Only serious inquiries please. We love Stewart and he deserves the best...

Story
Welcome Levi!  Levi is between 7-8 years old and weighs 12 pounds. He is house trained and crate trained. He absolutely loves toys and lounging in his dog bed. Levi likes to be close to you and will follow you around the house. Levi has had many changes in his life and will need an experienced and patient owner to allow him to settle in and bond with you. He seems to be better around women than men. Levi needs reinforcement on his leash training as he does tend to pull. He will also bark at other dogs he sees on his walks. Once adopted we will provide a training session with our trainer to work on addressing these things. The best fit for Levi would be in an adult-only single family home with a yard.   If you are interested in meeting Levi please first complete the adoption application on our website, www.greatpets.org. We cannot schedule an introduction with out an application. Levi's $200 adoption donation includes his vet examination, neuter surgery, vaccinations, dental, fecal and microchip.

Story
Everyone welcome Taos!! Taos is a 1-year-old, 7 pound, female Maltese (mix?) that was surrendered to the rescue by my owners. Taos is a funny girl and it is so fun to watch her become a dog. She is discovering all kinds of different things like going outside, playing with toys, walking on a leash and we are proud to say to is learning so well.  She is a little shy at first but once she comes around she is wonderful, loving and a cuddle bug.  She gets along with all dogs and people too. She is doing well on her pottie training but will need continued reinforcement. Taos's perfect home would be with be with an active family with older children and another well-rounded dog.  She really does learn a lot from being with other dogs and needs them to continue with her socialization skills.  Taos is spayed, up to date on her vaccination and microchipped.  If  interested in meeting or adoption Taos, please go to www.LOLR.org and fill out an adoption application. ##2258325##

This adorable old guy has had a rough life. Dumped on the street, blind and nearly deaf, he must have been terrified. We cleaned him up and are giving him lots of love to make up for the neglect he has endured. If you are looking for a companion to sit with, Simon would love that. A senior would be a perfect fit for Simon. All this sweet boy needs is a quiet home without too much activity.
