Story
Meet Sammy – The Perfect Blend of Fun and Loyalty! Sammy is a 2-year-old terrier mix with a heart full of love and a playful spirit to match! With his scruffy charm and lively personality, people often guess he’s part Westie—whatever his mix, he’s 100% adorable. Weighing in at about 20 pounds, Sammy’s little body carries him quickly, especially when there’s a ball to chase! This smart and well-mannered boy is crate trained, does great in the house, and has excellent recall—always eager to come running when you call. He’s treat and food motivated, making training a breeze. Sammy gets along well with other dogs and enjoys playful romps, though we’re not sure how he feels about cats just yet. Sammy has a curious and adventurous nature, loving car rides and exploring new places. But don’t let his energetic side fool you—he’s quiet in the house, happy to relax by your side after a good game of fetch. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving, and well-behaved companion who’s always up for an adventure (or a treat!), Sammy has a lot to offer. Could he be your perfect match? Come meet him and see for yourself! All inquiries either fill out an application and someone will get back to you, or call/text Sonya 661-840-7052

Neander is a rescue from the pound. Due to unfortunate circumstances we now have to rehome him. He was a great companion for other dog, fantastic with cats, great with my three grandsons. He is very loving, gentle with other animals, and with other people. He's a very big snuggle bug.

Story
Exceptional 7-month-old female found wandering; owner not located despite online posts, flyers, walks, and microchip scan. Needs a loving, active family. Affectionate, intelligent, and eager to please. Housebroken, loves playing fetch and engaging in games. Responds well to commands (e.g., Sit, Wait, Touch, Leave It, Hop, Hurry, etc.) and quickly learns new ones. One of the smartest dogs my expert friend has seen. She has some behavioral issues that respond well to training (jumping up, mouthing, digging, grabbing, chewing). Normal puppy stuff but with her energy and smarts will take some effort. She has some separation anxiety but we kennel her overnight and for a few hours without problems. The main thing is she needs more than a normal amount of training, play or exercise. Asking a modest $100 fee to help her find a committed loving home (negotiable for the right fit). If you can offer a structured, active home, please contact me immediately. Possible assistance with training/cost.

Story
My dog's name is Doug. He's almost a year and a half. He's about 70 pounds. Doug is a great family dog who loves going on walks and going to the dog park. He loves to play with his toys and to run around when there's room. He is currently not getting the attention he needs now. We just had a baby and I am always out of town working. He needs more stimulation than what he's getting. I am afraid that the situation were in is unchanging. I love him enough to give him to a new home and family that can give him what he needs. Whoever ends up with him will be lucky to have him. He's a great companion and a great dog. I will miss dearly if a new home is found for him.

Story
We adopted Ollie in December for a Christmas present for my children. Unfortunately, he does not get along with our 10 year old cat. We kept hoping that they would get used to each other but he has started aggressively attacking the cat. Ollie is great with our children, especially our 3 year old son.
