Story
NOVA! (Male) Nova is a sweet dude who is looking for his forever home. He is a larger Terrier mix (probably about 25 pounds) so still considered a small to medium sized dog. His foster says this about him: At about a year and a half old and 25-30 lbs he is FULL of energy at and thinks he’s a lap dog but will take up 3/4 of a recliner. Nova thrives on attention. A good praise and a treat go a long way with him. Mostly house trained, but it is Important that he goes out IMMEDIATELY in the morning or it sets a precedent for the rest of the day. He wants to please you and loves the praise he gets when he does something good or cute. He would do well with kids No experience with cats here. Would want to sleep on a bed with someone at night but currently is crated since I have other smaller ones that sleep with me. He does have some separation anxiety sometimes but is fine when he hears the car start. I do crate him when I leave “just in case”. -------------------- Nova did really well at our adoption event, meeting new people and hanging out with a lot of commotion going on. He will be a great addition for a family or person! Currently in need of new foster in So Cal or can be adopted anywhere in California. Adoption fee of $300 includes spay/neuter, core vaccines (DAPP and rabies), microchip, access to training videos. You must complete an application before we are able to accommodate any request for a meet and greet. Please apply here to adopt:. Adoption Application or to foster apply here: Foster Application

Story
Blanche’s story is one of resilience and quiet bravery. She was found in the desert, struggling to keep her eight puppies safe despite having been given so little kindness in return and having every reason to give up on humans—she didn’t. Now, in her foster home, Blanche is slowly learning that love doesn’t have to come with conditions. She watches, she listens, and each day, she takes small steps toward trust. While she’s still cautious, she’s beginning to enjoy gentle affection, soft beds, and the security of knowing her next meal is guaranteed. Blanche will need a patient adopter who understands that healing takes time. She may never be the most outgoing dog, but for the right person—someone who sees the beauty in quiet companionship and understands the language of small victories—Blanche will be the most rewarding companion. She’s good with other dogs, would do best in a home with teenagers that understand a peaceful, loving environment is where she will continue to blossom at her own pace.
