Story
Miley was disregarded after her family moved away leaving her and her sibling behind. It was weeks before anyone realized they were still there. The other dog who was left behind quickly found a rescue but Miley on the other hand struggled to be placed.  She is incredibly sweet , she loves dogs of all sizes. She loves to play but additionally has an off switch when it’s time to relax. Her current foster says Miley and her daughter love to play. Miley is so patient with children and doesn’t take to much time to warm up.   Miley doesn’t understand why she was abandoned and why she doesn’t get to see her sibling anymore. We hope we can bring back the light in Miley’s eyes with a forever family. Miley loves going on walks, playing catch (she won't bring the ball back). Great with dogs of all sizes and gender. Miley is extremely submissive and rolls onto her back when she meets a new dog or is unsure if the other dog is friendly.  ##2153685##

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.
