Story

Simba has spent too long waiting for his forever family. 💔 This strong and spirited Akita-Husky mix is full of energy, loves his toys, and is happiest on long walks or playing with his human. He’s sweet, loyal, and ready for the right home. If you’re looking for a dog with personality and heart, Simba is waiting to meet you! 🐕 Adopt Simba: https://form.jotform.com/221926016430144 Full profile: Simba is a 6-8-year-old Akita-Husky mix with the personality of an Akita and the heart of a lion. He’s playful, sweet, and full of energy but needs a confident and strong adopter who understands his needs. 💪 Strength & Training: Simba is powerful and can pull when excited, so he needs someone physically capable of managing his strength. He’s learning commands like sit, down, paw, and “potty” and thrives with structure. A harness might help with his pulling. 🐾 Energy & Personality: Simba is not always a couch potato! He loves long walks (2+ miles is no problem), playing with his toys, and getting plenty of attention. He’s affectionate and cuddly but always ready for adventure. 🏡 Home Needs: Simba would do best in a home without small children due to his strength and energy. He’s good with other dogs, especially more timid ones, but does best with boundaries around toys and space. He’s also quite the counter-surfer, so keeping things out of reach is key! 🐕 Health: Simba has a thyroid condition that is managed with treatment, giving him renewed energy and playfulness. Simba has had a lot of love and care from his foster, but he’s ready to find his forever home. If you’re looking for a strong, loyal, and playful companion, Simba could be your perfect match. 💙 Ready to meet Simba? Apply to adopt him and give this big-hearted boy the home he deserves. 📌 Share to help Simba find his forever home Currently being cared in Southern California, but can be transported up to northern states, such as Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and anywhere within the US continental, if a great suitable family is willing to adopt him.

Story

Since puppy-hood Olive has always been a little shy and stand off-ish yet curious, playful and friendly. He’s been around other pets in the home and generally keeps to himself but every now and then will interact and want to play. we are looking for someone that spends more time often at home and is able to give Olive the specific care, patience and attention he requires.Olive is 8 years old now and potty trained but has since developed territorial the need to constantly mark on all areas. we have gone through the extensive process of getting him special male diapers, putting up potty pads on the floors and walls around the house, constantly letting him and out, training courses before subjecting him to being fixed which our vet has claimed may not fix the issue. we have also been put in a position to work multiple jobs and are rarely home. We feel bad having to leave him out all day and unfortunately am no longer to keep up with his specific requirements

Story

I adopted Bear from two young ladies that rescued him from a kill shelter retrained him to re-home him. I’ve had Bear since age 3 he is now 9. He is the best dog I’ve ever had. He is such a good boy. He enjoys playing tug a war with his toys. He’ll run and get his toys for you to play with him. He loves walks anywhere but loves the beach. He’s wonderful with other dogs. I’ve never had him around a cat so not sure about that. He is great around kids. I’ve had my grandkids around him for many years and he’s great. He loves sunbathing. He does jump up on men when they walk into our home but he just wants to play. He’s trained to sleep on his dog bed and crate trained also. He will sneak onto the couch when no one is looking silly boy. He’s a big Ike goof he prances around in excitement. Help me please my life situation has changed drastically and I can’t keep him.

This sweet girl is Ahsoka, she is 4yrs old this month and 13lbs. She is a boarder terrier mix and part kangaroo, her jump is very impressive and she is always the fastest dog at the dog park. As a terrier, she is very smart and loves learning. She can sit, stay, spin, and jump through a hoop( with treat encouragement at the hoop at first then without a treat thereafter). She can follow off leash but don't be surprised if she goes explore but she comes back everytime, loves going to the mailbox and saying hi to any neighbors/dogs on the way. She is mostly house trained and will go to the door to let you know but you must be alert to her telling you. Needs a loving home and she loves taking naps with the family and has the softest ears, she doesn't like being cold so be mindful of the weather but she is loving and needs a forever loving home. She loves dog parks and being social with other dogs and has no problem saying hi to whoever unless your a cat.
