Daisy has been a member of my family for over 5 years now. An incredibly loyal and gentle dog. She simply needs a home with room, a yard, and a family that can give her the time and attention that she deserves. She is smart, takes well to command, is simply one of a kind. We unfortunately have no choice but to re-home due to my youngest daughters pet allergies. Please feel free to reach out and ask questions.

Story
Evette was saved off the euthanasia list. She’s looking for her happily ever after. Evette had entered a shelter after she was abandoned by her family. She was found in the back yard of a home that caught fire, but no one claimed her, so into the shelter system she went. She was one of the few lucky ones who were rescued and is currently in a foster home in Los Angeles. Evette loves car rides, does amazing with kids. She is spayed and current on her vaccinations and also has lots of energy so she would do best with a home that has a backyard and someone who will walk her every day. Her foster mom says of Evette they are still working on introductions to other dogs. Her default is interest and wanting to play, although she doesn’t know how to play yet so she can be a little rough, mouthy. For these reasons, if joining another home, it would be best with a dog that is tolerant and well adjusted. She’s still learning and adapting well overall in her foster home. With a slow introduction and an experienced handler her confidence will start to shine.

Remi has a loving affection and respect for people, cars, anything that moves, really! Remi's favorite pastimes are walking around the neighborhood and showing off his sticks to people that walk by and playing tug of war. He looks like a cute little croissant when he sleeps on his back with all fours in the air. Overall he's a sweet boy who loves a good daily snuggle. He is fully vaccinated, no allergies, and all around a healthy, active dog. Remi is the sweetest pup, with a goofy personality that will turn any bad day into a good one. He knows basic commands and is currently working on discipline and on having more structure in the home. He is house trained and potty trained. He has been an amazing part of our family and we want him to go to a good home.

Story
We adopted Betty in 2017, but unfortunately need to put her up for adoption because we are moving to Japan for 3 years. The country does not permit pit bulls. Betty is a very loving and affectionate dog. She loves to cuddle and go on walks. She knows how to play fetch and is wonderful with kids. She is dog aggressive but has bonded with our chiweenie, Max. She unfortunately does not do well at dog parks or public settings where other dogs might be. We have had chickens around her, which she was unphased by. I am not really sure about cats. We have considered putting both dogs up for adoption simply because they are so close and it's not really fair to split them up. She is approximately 10 years old and Max is 9.
