Story
Meet Lucy, a beautiful and charismatic 1 y/o Mal mix! We rescued Lucy from a high-kill shelter in LA with less than 1 hour left before she was to be euthanized - all because she had developed an upper respiratory infection at the shelter. Lucy is a happy-go-lucky girl with a strong but gentle demeanor who LUVs and plays hard. This babe is athletic and brave but also affectionate, curious, and dignified. Lucy will need a home that can match her activity level. She thrives when she has a job - whether that's training, a game of fetch, or helping her foster dad work and run errands. She LUVs going on hikes, bike rides and skateboading with her foster dad, learning and mastering new skills, and socializing. Lucy is a frequent guest at local coffee shops where she enjoys hanging out while her foster dad works. Lucy joined our Rescue Director and her dogs after leaving the shelter. She did great with her foster fur siblings, playing and lounging around with them, and with other dogs she meets on her adventures. She loves nothing more than to be by her persons side. This babe has it going on! Her brains and beauty aid in maiking her the pawfect companion. We haven't been able to test her with kids yet so for the time being, we're recommending she goes to a home with older, calmer kids who are experienced with dogs. If you are an experienced dog owner and have younger kids, and are interested in meeting her, please send us a message, we'd love to talk with you more! If you are looking for a babe to be your adventure buddy and is sweet, confident, and a loyal best furiend, look no further - Lucy's your girl! Ready to fall in LUV? Fill out an app or message us today!

Story
Meet Rocko, formerly known as Peter from the Mal-y Bunch! Rocko is a sweet, happy, very smart and driven 4 month old Malinois x German Shepherd mix who weighs around 20 lbs. He has been fostered with other dogs, ranging in age from 1.5 years old to 9 years old. Rocko has also been socialized with kids, though we recommend a home with dog-experienced kids since Rocko will need some help understanding how to play with them. This gem of a pup loves to love and bonds quickly with his person or persons, is eager to learn and please, and does great out in social settings. Rocko's also house and crate trained, and is working on his leash manners. He'll make a great hiking or adventure buddy, working dog, or sport dog.  Rocko's story - Their mama was surrendered to the shelter the day before she gave birth. The very next day she welcomed 9 beautiful puppies. The shelter is no place for any dog, let alone a mom and her new puppies. Thanks to an amazing foster, we were able to quickly rescue mama + all 10 puppies! All Mutt Luv dogs/puppies come vaccinated, microchipped, s/n, heartworm tested, and with a clean bill of health from our vet.

Story
09/24/2024 11:10 A.M.Sidney is part of a new partnership with RFRD Academy in San Jose. From them, she is developing her skills as she readies for her forever home. Her trainers delivered this report card: We are currently focusing on several key training areas: - Leash Pressure and Guidance: Sidney is learning to respond to leash pressure, which is helping her develop good walking habits.- Calmness at the Front Door: We are working on teaching Sidney to remain calm when entering and exiting the home, which will aid in managing her excitement.- Engagement: Sidney is an enthusiastic participant in training sessions, eager to learn and interact.- Basic Obedience Fundamentals: She is picking up essential commands and foundational skills quickly.- Crate Introductions: Sidney is adjusting well to crate training, starting to see it as a comfortable space.- Environmental Exposure: We are gradually introducing her to various environments to help her become more confident and adaptable.Overall, Sidney is a fun pup with a lot of drive, making her a joy to work with!Ideal Home/Adopter:Sidney would do best in a home without young children or small pets. She would thrive with a family that understands her breed genetics and is not a first-time pet owner. An active household that is confident in working with energetic dogs will be the perfect fit for Sidney, ensuring she receives the exercise and mental stimulation she needs to flourish.08/25/24 23:17DOG DAY OUT REPORT Today: my friend took me on a 6.5 mile jog around Shady Oaks Park, along Coyote Creek Trail and through Hellyer Industrial Park. I was so excited to go out that I was hopping around like Tigger as we got ready to go on our adventure. I was a bit nervous getting into the car, but my friend showed me what to do and after that, I was confident doing it on my own. On the trail, there were so many things to smell, I didn’t know what to do with myself - I was bouncing all over. There were lots of foxtails though, so we decided to jog for a while but once it was safe, my friend let me get in all the sniffs. There were a lot of distractions on our walk, and some I was nervous about, so my friend helped me through those moments. I also really enjoyed chasing all the squirrels. After our long jog, we cooled down in the shade, where I got treats and pets.Three Words to Describe Me are: Athletic, Sweet-natured, Vigilant

Story
10/18/24 01:16Doggy Day Out ReportToday was so fun! My friend took me on a walk through a residential neighborhood and I loved checking everything out! There were so many things to see and smell! My friend said I walked nicely on the harness and that I was such a good girl. I showed off how pretty I can sit and how nicely I take treats. I love treats! My friend even started showing me new things like come and down. I like learning!We saw lots of dogs and I passed them politely. Squirrels are very interesting to me and I wanted to go check them out but my friend encouraged me to keep walking. I really loved my nice long walk, a break for cuddles at the park, and even a yummy bully stick on the ride home! What a great day!Three Words to Describe Me are: Adorable, Affectionate, SmartNotes from My Walker: Skylar sure is a cutie pie! She’s medium sized and estimated at a year old but has a permanent puppy face that is way too cute! We went for a long walk through Willow Glen and had a great time!Skylar walked nicely on the front clip harness and only pulled mildly towards squirrels – I agree, squirrels are fascinating! She loved to sniff and check everything out. We saw a lot of dogs and she passed them all politely. (At the shelter, she participates in doggie playgroups!) She was not reactive to anything – dogs, cars, people, strollers. She was startled a couple times at sudden movements or loud noises, but she recovered very quickly and was happy to continue on our walk.Skylar still has some puppyish manners like mouthing when I harnessed her and in the car, but she doesn’t apply any pressure. Overall, she was such a good girl and she will grow out of her mouthing in a home with regular exercise and socializing.Skylar is very food motivated and knows sit and loves to show it off for treats and she takes treats gently. She is a smart girl and was quickly understanding the commands come and down!Skylar is very affectionate and loves to crawl into your lap. We sat on the grass at a park and she was such a happy wiggly girl to get extra love. I really enjoyed my day with this adorable sweetheart! She will make someone a lovely companion.
