Meet Nugget! This young female pup is quiet and gentle, and is looking for a loving home to settle into. Nugget is a sweetheart who is a bit shy and reserved, but give her some love and attention and she'll warm right up to you. She would do best in a quiet home where she can relax and take her time adjusting. That being said, she'd love to go on nice walks and explore the world around her. she gets along with other dogs. She is a lovely girl who can't wait to meet you, so come down to the rescue and see if she is the pup for you!

Story
We started fostering Melanie about 9 months ago for a rescue that shortly after closed down and abandoned all its dogs. She is a smart, funny, well behaved, medium energy gal who needs to be the only pet in the home. She walks well on leash and loves to play fetch. She loves to relax in her crate. She has been professionally trained. She is on a pill for hypothyroidism at the moment that only costs about $15 a month. She might be able to come off it at some point and we will pay for her next check-up. Lovely dog who had a rough start in life and deserves her forever family. Comes with food, toys, crate, bowls and all other supplies. Fee negotiable for the right person or family.

Story
Franklin (also known as Frankie!) is a happy, active, affectionate pupper. He goes on long walks twice a day, and wants to cuddle at night while you work or watch TV. He is a rescue coming from a neglect situation. When we first got him he was so dirty that we didn't even know that he had his gorgeous spots! Frankie is adapting very well to being loved and coddled. He is 100% housebroken, sleeps well at night, and is in leash and socialization training--and doing great! Frankie is looking for an active, experienced owner with no cats (he wants to chase them). Experience preferred. **Part or all of the adoption fee will be WAIVED if adopter commits to regular grooming (to maintain that stunning white coat!) and continuing training (to ensure a happy bond).** Contact me with any questions or to arrange a meet and greet!

Story
Celsius is adorable!  she is loving, friendly, kind, gets along great with other dogs.  She is playful, energetic, but puppy crazy energetic. She would be the perfect pet for an active person who likes to take walks, or hike.  She is housebroken. She has no history of a bite or aggressive behavior towards people.  She is not doing great in our sanctuary with many other dominant dogs.  She would do best in a home as the diva of the hourse!. She does have a high prey drive.  NO CATS required in her new home.  We saved her from certain death at the SEAACA shelter. She had kennel cough, a fever and no appetite.  Of course we treated her and now she is great!  She really needs a home of her own with someone who can give her attention and love.  The shelter said she is 10 years old. her frosted face makes it seem that way, but she acts more like a 6-7 year old. ##1452021##

Story
Carnation is a 12 year old siberian husky who we rescued from the Downey Shelter on October 16, 2023. She is the sweetest, most people friendly dog. She loves to give kisses!  They said she is 12. She doens't act that old!  She is spry, loves her walks and likes to play with toys! She is super friendly with people.  She is dog friendly and lives with our pack. Occasionally when meeting a new dog she will jump on their neck to say, hello, but is not aggressive nor does she bite the dog.   When she first arrived she was not spayed and had a huge tumor in her eye. As can be guessed, she was leary of dogs and "greeted" them with a growl,   She has been spayed and had her tumor removed.   our sanctuary is supposed to be for old, hospice dogs, not spry playful young at heart dogs. So when she gets a forever home, we will have space to save another senior dog. ##1851635##
