Story
We adopted Meechum in September 2021 from the Palmdale shelter. Meechum is pretty calm, enjoys squeaky toys, and will mostly keep to himself. We have another dog, Max, and they play super well together, but they don’t do well with other dogs when they’re together. Meechum would be great for a home where he is the only dog OR adopted with Max. Meechum is house-trained and know basic commands (come when called, sit, and stay). He has been very gentle with our child, who he’s known since newborn age and is now 2 years old. He also has done well with our indoor cat.

Story
We adopted Maxine from the Lancaster animal shelter in July 2022. She was 7 months old and knew basic commands like sit. She was very friendly during our first meeting, and that has remained true since we’ve brought her home. She is full of energy and loves to chase after just about anything. Max recently got out of our fenced backyard (accidentally) and chased after - and bit - another dog that was walking nearby. While we have never seen this behavior from her in the past, with two young children at home, keeping her is not feasible. She would do well in a home where she’s the only dog OR adopted with her buddy, Meechum.

Story
Shabu is a 1 year and 6 months old male dog weighing about 50 pounds. He is a purebred basset hound. He is friendly with people and dogs in general. He is cheerful, kind and shows good love. He never barks when he meets people or other dogs. He loves to play with toys. He wants to be close to his owner and needs friends. Because Shabu is a lonely dog ​​with low energy, walking once or twice a day is enough. Shabu has only one problem. When we take him for a walk outside, he doesn't poop. He will come back to poop on the balcony instead. I live in an apartment. It is difficult to manage. Due to my busy life and lack of time. I need someone who is ready and has enough time for Shabu. Is he ready to give Shabu love? I hope Shabu will find a new home soon. Adoption fee $1,200 Thank you.

Story
We are heartbroken to rehome our sweet boy. Being a rescue, he is a fearful dog who feels safest at home with familiar people. We've easily managed his reactivity for 4 years now, but our toddler is a major stressor for him, and we've been advised by professionals that rehoming is our safest option. FULL DISCLOSURE: We've had a handful of situations where he has responded to stress with warning nips (minor bites). The rescue we adopted him from recommended euthanasia because even “well-behaving” dogs are unadoptable right now. This is NOT an option for us. While ready to hike or run, Alaska has a calm demeanor and loves to lounge around for tummy rubs in air-conditioned comfort. For those who work remotely, he makes an excellent companion as he never barks and is always ready for a cuddle break. Alaska is friendly with medium—to large dogs. We're committed to finding him a home that understands his needs and can provide him with the love, support, & environment he thrives in.
