Story
Hello, I'm Buttercup, a young, sweet, and friendly Labrador Staffy girl. I'm as gentle as a spring breeze and as brave as I could be during my stay at the scary shelter. I'm smart too! I've figured out all the tricks the shelter staff taught me. Playful and energetic, I love a good game of fetch or tug-of-war and happy to meet the other dogs who were in here with me. I was so happy to play with them that I almost wagged my tail off !!! . But I'm not all about fun and games. I'm cuddly and love nothing more than snuggling up after a long day. I'm loyal to a fault and will always be by your side, through thick and thin. I promise to bring joy, laughter, and a whole lot of love to your life. Please rescue me and let's embark on this beautiful journey of life together. I will love you forever and ever. PLEASE EMAIL ALPHADOGPETRESCUE@yahoo.com to request our application to meet and adopt. ADOPTION FEE IS $325

Story
We adopted Olive as a puppy two years ago from a local rescue. She is stubborn, loving, funny, and snuggly. When our adult children, their child, and their own 2 dogs were living with us last year, she showed some aggression toward our other dog. We separated the dogs and hired a trainer. My daughter-in-law was pregnant, and the trainer attributed the aggression to the progressing pregnancy. Once our children moved out, we slowly reintroduced our two dogs after having been separated for a couple of months. They then got along great for 8 months! However, due to unknown reasons, she attacked our other dog one morning. She is a great dog who needs to be in a dog-free and child-free home. For now, we are able to keep the two separated, but we are hoping to find someone who is looking for a potty and crate-trained sweetie pie who likes to take walks and sleep the day away.

Story
Meet Finn: The Resilient, Goofy, and Loving Boy Looking for His Forever Family Finn’s journey to this point has been one of survival, resilience, and, most of all, a deep desire for love. When he was just a puppy, he was found as a stray, weak from malnourishment and needing immediate care. Sadly, the shelter quickly realized that they couldn't give him the help he needed, and he was placed on the dreaded list. Fortunately, a rescue group stepped in, but Finn’s journey didn’t get any easier. He was shuffled from boarding facility to boarding facility, and when the rescue group shut down, Finn was abandoned along with many other dogs. We may never know the full extent of what Finn experienced in those early years, but one thing is crystal clear: he is a survivor. His past, though filled with hardship and uncertainty, has not broken his spirit. He’s become the dog he was always meant to be—joyful, playful, and endlessly loving. Today, Finn is a goofy, silly, and full-of-life three-year-old who’s finally getting to be the puppy he was always meant to be. He is absolutely amazed by the simple joys of life—like discovering the world outside! He has a boundless energy that will have him sprinting from one end of the yard to the other, leaping, jumping, and frolicking as if every day is his first day to play. Water? Splashing around is his favorite hobby, and if you take him for a walk, he’ll zoom around like he’s just been given a new lease on life. Training has brought out the best in him, and Finn is eager to please. He knows all the basic commands and does them with such enthusiasm that you can’t help but smile. He’s been through a lot, but his love for people is unwavering. Finn has been waiting for a family of his own for so long, and he shows it every time someone comes to visit. He’ll greet you with such excitement, you might get knocked over by his signature body slam! Finn loves to cuddle on the couch, curl up by your side, and soak up all the love he’s been missing. His favorite moments are when someone gently rubs his belly, or when he can just be near the people he’s come to trust. His heart is big, and he has so much love to give. He’s ready to share it with a family who will give him the safety, joy, and forever home he truly deserves. If you’re looking for a dog who will make you laugh, keep you on your toes, and be your loving companion through thick and thin, Finn might be the one for you. He’s not just a survivor—he’s a dog who’s finally ready to live his best life. Would you be the one to show him that love, joy, and stability are here to stay? Finn is waiting to find his place in your heart and home.

Story
There’s something magical about Rascal. Maybe it’s the way he runs full speed across the yard, ears flopping, as if he’s chasing the wind itself. Or maybe it’s how he’ll find the perfect sunny spot, stretch out, and bask in the warmth like there’s not a care in the world. Life has not always been kind to Rascal but there’s a sweetness in him that never dimmed. He’s not the type to give up on love, even if it takes him a little time to let you in. Once he does, though, you’ll see the silly, goofy side of Rascal that sure to keep smiling from ear to ear. The playful side, full of energy and excitement for life. He’ll race through the yard, eager to explore, and come sprinting back to you with a wagging tail and hopeful eyes that say, “Got another treat for me?” Rascal loves treats. If you want to win his heart, that's your ticket. He’ll sit, stay, and even learn new tricks just to get one. And when he’s done playing and learning, Rascal will settle into one of his favorite places - the nearest sunbeam. Watching him snooze peacefully in the sunlight, you’d never guess he had a rough start in life. Rascal is a sweet little snuggle bug with a deep affection for anything soft! If it’s fluffy, cozy, or cushy, Rascal is all in. He’ll happily curl up on the softest blanket or pillow he can find, making sure to get as comfy as possible before settling in for some quality cuddle time curled up next to you on the couch, nuzzling into your lap and soaking up all the affection he can get. Rascal’s journey hasn’t always been easy, but he’s ready for his next chapter. Could you be the one to show him what love and security feel like? Come meet Rascal, and you’ll see—there’s a bright light behind those soulful eyes, just waiting for the right person to bring it out. Reach out to us today to find out more about Rascal or to schedule a meet a greet. Please be sure to include a phone a number you can be reached at.

Story
Meet Ryder: A Gentle Soul Searching for His Forever Home Hi, I’m Ryder. I’m 2.5 years old, a mix of love and loyalty, and I’ve been waiting for someone to show me what it feels like to be truly safe. My journey so far hasn’t been easy—I spent a whole year in shelters and rescue situations, never really knowing where I belonged. It’s left me a little unsure, but I’m holding onto hope that my perfect person is out there. I’m a thoughtful, sensitive guy. When we first meet, I might hang back and observe, trying to figure out if everything is really okay. But give me some time, patience, and gentle encouragement, and I promise you’ll see my true self begin to shine. Once I trust you, I’ll show you just how big my heart is. I’ll lean in close, craving connection and soaking up the love I’ve been missing for so long. I’m curious about the world and have a playful spirit that’s just waiting to bloom in the right environment. I’m not the bold, outgoing type, but I don’t need to be. My quiet, soulful nature is my strength, and I’m looking for someone who will embrace me for who I am. I’ll give you my whole heart, and in return, I’ll ask for your understanding and love. If you’re the kind of person who sees the beauty in a gentle soul, who’s ready to be patient as I learn to trust, and who wants to build a bond that will last a lifetime, I’d love to meet you. I know that together, we can write the next, happiest chapter of my story.

Story
DUCKY IS in FOSTER NEAR HESPERIA CA She is a very sweet WHITE Boxer girl who weighs about 40-45 pounds. We rescued her from a high kill shelter, where she came in as a stray and soon gave birth to a litter of adorable brindle & fawn puppies. DUCKY is good with the Aussies in her foster home and has been great with other little dogs and with cats, rides great in a car and although very playful, she is gentle and well behaved. Ducky had a rough go of it having her babies in a cold shelter and she is a little thin and weary, eating plenty of good food and gaining needed weight. Pups have been weaned, are fat and healthy and have been adopted. Mommy is so so so sweet and gentle and would make an awesome pet to anyone. Her blankets are neat and clean and she is not destructive. Enjoys walking on leash and adores company and attention. Please email Alphadogpetrescue@yahoo.com to ask for our adoption application to adopt Ducky and make her your own best friend. Her adoption fee is $375, fully vetted, spayed and micro

Rescued Louis from a shelter, he shows signs of abuse and has trust issues. He needs a very patient and loving home. He also needs some serious training he has some behavior issues that make him unpredictable. When he does feel safe he is a happy dog and sweet. He likes to play with his toys and likes to bark(talk) at them, he entertains himself. He likes short walks (he has short legs so long walks can be too much), he really, really, loves car rides.
