Story
Hi, I’m Ryland. I’m a 6-year-old spayed husky/Plott hound/boxer mix female up to date on all vaccinations. I am looking for a home with no other pets since I am very dog selective. I get along great with all big and small humans! I love treats and walks and I’m especially talkative when it’s time for food. I make a great snuggle and hiking buddy and guard dog. I will protect you and love you and hope you do the same for me. I hope to meet you soon!!

Story
Hi, I’m Princess a 4-year-Old pittie. Please note that I am indeed a pup and not a cow (haha) I’m a street survivor from Tijuana Mexico. I had a horrible family that threw me out to the streets and didn’t care for me. Luckily, I was rescued, vetted, spayed and chipped. I get along with other mellow pups my size. I’m still learning how to walk on a leash but I’m a smart girl and learn pretty quick. All I need is a patient Human who will understand where I come from, someone to show me lots of love. I promise to be good and be your best gal. I urgently need a foster to be transported to LA and start my journey. I am Currently still in Tijuana. Would you be my special human?

Story
Hi! Nice to meet you my name is Jaxx! Let me introduce myself! I am 8 years young, and I love my people. I love following mom around the house while she does chores, and I love to stick by her side. I love sitting with my humans as they watch tv to catch up on the latest show. I have a very calm personality and love to relax while my humans relax but I also love to play when it’s playtime. I love to play tug of war and I will let you know I’m having a great time with my voice. When it’s time to eat I get excited and show you with a little hop. If I need something I like to nudge your arm to let you know, mom asks me what I need and I try to use my voice to tell her, when she gets up to help me find what I need I guide her enthusiastically. I love to communicate! I make an amazing cuddle buddy, a great guard dog, and forever friend and I would really love to find my forever home! I Am: Vaccinated Neutered Potty-Trained Crate-Trained & I prefer to be the only King at home but I do great at the dog park!

Story
Hi, my name is Winter! I am a 3-year-old male boxer/beagle mix. I was rescued in Rosarito malnourished as a pup, but thankfully my rescue helped get me healthy. I was adopted in LA to a nice family. Sadly after 3 years my owner has no time for me and has decided they can’t keep me any longer. I will do best in a home with one other dog, a big yard and older kids that can play ball with me due to my size older kiddos are best. I walk great on a leash; I love to fetch and go on long hikes. I am also crate trained if needed. Can’t wait to meet you! WINTER♥

Story
Hi, my name is Tigger! I’m the cutest 1 year old brindle chi mix. Don't be fooled by my puppy face, I promise I am fully grown! My life hasn’t been the greatest. I’m a Tijuana Mexico Street survivor.  I was one of the lucky pups rescued and I have now been vetted. I have already been tested for parvo, and Giardia, you name it, and I am as healthy as can be! I'm also fully vaccinated and now neutered. I’m so sweet! I love kids, get along with other nice pups and I wouldn’t mind belly rubs and toys. I would love to start my journey in SOCAL and find my loving forever home. A family that is a patient and gives me time to open up, someone who understands where I come from is ideal.  In order to make this possible I’m looking for a foster home to chill while I get adopted.  I Promise to be a good boy!!
