Story
Titus lives every day as if it's the best day ever, and his heartwarming smile never fades from his sweet, gray face. Even though he's a bit older, Titus can still be found frolicking around the dog park with his longtime buddy and roommate, Rusty. It's funny how, despite being several years younger, Rusty often ends up trailing behind! Titus is a bit of an oddball in the dog world-his absolute favorite thing is getting a bath! He's all about water and anything related to it. This friendly and independent pup loves nothing more than just hanging out with people, cozying up next to anyone who's spending time with him and soaking up the simple joys of companionship. Every single thing about Titus makes him the perfect sidekick, and whoever gets to share their life with him will undoubtedly gain an incredible best friend.

Story
Meet Riley – Your Loyal, Adventure-Loving Best Friend! ​Riley’s journey began at the San Bernardino City Shelter, where he arrived as a stray. But this incredible dog was meant for so much more! Now, he’s looking for a dedicated forever home—one that will match his energy, intelligence, and eagerness to please. ​🐾 A Brilliant Mix of Two Amazing Breeds Riley is half Australian Kelpie—an agile, intelligent herding dog—and half German Shepherd, a breed known for its loyalty and work ethic (think police dog or search and rescue dog). He embodies the best traits of both, making him a dog who thrives on structure, exercise, and mental stimulation. ​🎓 Training Superstar Since Riley had never been trained before, we gave him a full month of intensive training—and he crushed it! He’s eager to learn, quick to catch on, and incredibly responsive. To ensure a smooth transition, his adopter will even receive a one-on-one session with his trainer—trust us, you’ll be blown away by his skills! ​🏡 The Perfect Home for Riley Riley is leery of new people but also craves human attention. A home with lots of new people in and out would stress Riley out unless introduced slowly. He can be around other dogs but prefers to be the only pup in the house. His dream day? A solid walk or hike, a fun training session, and then lounging at your feet, soaking up belly rubs. Due to his intelligence and strong personality, Riley needs an experienced dog owner—someone who can be his leader and provide the structure he thrives on. ​Riley isn’t just a pet—he’s a loyal companion, a hiking buddy, and a dog who will give back tenfold the love and commitment you show him. Are you ready to meet your new best friend? SOUTHPAW IS A SMALL RESCUE. WE CAN NOT ADOPT OUTSIDE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. ​ https://www.southpawrescue.com/adoption-application

Story
Sema was found dumped in the desert with her puppies. She has since been in a loving foster home learning how to be a dog. She plays well with her foster siblings ranging from 15-110lbs and has mastered the doggy door. She does not need to be in a kennel and is potty trained. She lets you know when she wants attention and although she will chase a ball, she hasn't figured out bringing it back!
