Story
FINN! ADOPT ME! I'M READY TO CRAWL INTO YOUR HEARTS! Finn is a mystery mutt. We guessed chi corgi at first, but they seem to have outgrown the chi part, we've considered Basenji, Shepherd, Min Pin, and more but the truth is we really don't know. 🤣 We think they will be medium large sized (55ish pounds) but we're not making any promises at this point. Finn is fixed, vaccinated and microchipped. He's about 7.5 months old. Finn has been raised with dogs of all sizes. He gets along with them all. He's very happy go lucky. He loves to play. Working on his housetraining but getting there. He does pretty well on leash and loves to go to Starbucks! Crate trained, but he didn't really like the crate. He's not cat friendly. Currently in foster in So Cal, can be adopted anywhere in California. Adoption fee of $300 includes neuter, microchip, core vaccines, and free access to online training programs that we purchase. Please apply here to adopt:. Adoption Application We require an application before scheduling a meet and greet. Thank you!

Story
Sweet, playful Angel is a very special baby! She is not the brightest puppy but her personality shines! She had a traumatic pre-natal brain injury, which causes her to be a little slow and fearful of stranger, but she just wants to be loved and pampered once she knows you. She is looking for an adopter OR local foster. Find her on Instagram @angel_needs_an_angel See her in action: https://youtu.be/pzkg5YSiTaQ

Story
* Courtesy Post* Hi everyone, my name is Red! I’m a Basenji mix, little over a year old and weigh just over 30 lbs. Don’t let my name or my past scare you — even though I came from a very abusive situation where I wasn’t loved or cared for, I’m now with an amazing foster family who has shown me that good people do exist. I’m learning every day that not everyone wants to hurt me, and I’m opening up so beautifully. I’m looking for a forever family with: A yard, so I can play and explore, A cozy spot in your bed (snuggles are my favorite!) Someone who’s home often, because I get anxious when I’m left alone I’m a very smart boy — I’ve already learned how to use the doggy door! Everyone who meets me calls me a gentle giant and says my heart shines through my eyes. My foster mom named me Red because of my beautiful coloring and my sweet, warm personality. A few more things about me: I love other dogs, especially ones close to my size who are gentle but playful. Cats? I’m not quite sure what they are yet — I might accidentally scare them! I enjoy walks, but I have an injured leg, so short, easy strolls are best for me. I’m incredibly loving, loyal, and just want to be close to my humans. If you think I might be your perfect match, please submit an adoption application. Everyone who meets me says I have the most gentle spirit — I’m just a good boy looking for a safe place to call home. Red can’t wait to meet you. ❤️ Please reach out to lolds84@att.net for more information about this handsome boy!
