Story

Meet Penny, a 6-year-old Basenji mix with a heart full of love and a spirited personality. Originally from Mexico, Penny made her way to California in December 2020 and was quickly adopted. However, she was returned when her previous family found out they were expecting a baby, and Penny wasn’t comfortable around the little one. Penny is a sweet and loving dog who thrives in the right environment. She’s fully house trained, never has accidents inside, and is a joy to have around. Penny enjoys long walks and playing with her toys, but she also loves relaxing and taking naps next to her favorite people. While Penny is not good with other dogs, cats, or kids, she is an ideal companion in a home where she can be the sole focus of attention. She’s working on her reactivity to other dogs on walks, so a patient family willing to help her through her anxiety would be the perfect fit. If you’re looking for a loyal and affectionate dog who will shower you with love and appreciate a calm, dog-free home, Penny is ready to become a cherished member of your family.

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Sonny and Cher were found running the streets in South LA, weaving in and out of traffic and circling the blocks scavenging and desperate for food. He had on a collar so our director watched them for a good 30-40 minutes, hoping they would run home... They suddenly ended up on the steps to the 77th Police Station where they found some old pizza in a planter. They then proceeded to patrol access and people were too afraid to approach the entrance to the Police station with them guarding the steps, and no one came out or stopped to help, so with only 2 cans of cat food and 1/2 a sandwich from lunch our director decided to see if they would be friends or foes. Immediately Cher ran up and said hello -- it took about 20 minutes but she was able to get her to jump in the car... Sonny was a whole other story ... it took about 2 hours to catch him, but eventually, the car-trap worked and the duo, as if finally sensing they were safe, curled up into each other for a long rest. Neither dog was chipped, Cher was in heat, and Sonny was her devoted bodyguard ... we don't know if/when/how they came together -- but once they were both fixed the bond was broken. He is SUCH a little love -- he does have a bit of separation anxiety now -- but that's likely because he finally feels safe. He is gentle and sweet and seems to have been potty trained but had clearly never been on a leash and it didn't seem like he was touched very much -- now he LOVES it! And he's getting used to the leash and is a champ in a crate - such a fast learner and a very good boy. We have been looking for their people but no one has come forward and it's time they found homes and someone of their own who can really love and care for them. Whoever you are -- you're about to have a very BEST FREIND(s) for life! Please apply HERE: https://forms.gle/67CmuBhiQMf1hYov9November 4, 2025, 6:42 pm

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained,

Story

My brother got Thor when Thor was just a couple of months old. Thor is a boxer-benseji mix. He has a beautiful pointed nose of a basenji and adorable droopy lips of a boxer. His basenji nature is very interesting. He is clever, independent, and good at cleaning himself. He does not drool. At home, Thor is quite relaxed. He loves to lay next to you and quietly goes to sleep as you pet him. Thor is a lovely dog. He is so gentle and so sweet that it feels great to give him a hug. Thor loves walks. He gets very excited but serious on his walks. You could see the pep in his steps and also the determination in his movements as he patrol his territory around the neighborhood. My brother ran into issues a while back and had to moved back home with my dad and I. I live in a mobile home complex that does not allow large dogs. Our manager said we can’t keep Thor in our complex because he is a big dog. I hope to find Thor a loving family that could care for him and appreciate his good nature.
