Story
While shopping in RC, found this sweet boy. No collar/ID/not microchipped. He is a red/brown smooth haired Chihuahua Mix, approx. 2-5 years old. He was hungry, thirsty, afraid and confused. He is the sweetest, most lovable and playful boy and loves to be hugged and cuddled. Despite the rope in the pic, he was loved at some point because he was very clean, nice nails and teeth, no fleas or ticks and understands commands. I fed and gave him water; spent several hours w him trying to figure out what to do, and after calling rescues and other resources, I was told to take him to the city shelter. He was very afraid of getting in my car, so I had to pick him up and used a harness and a leash with a seatbelt buckle to secure him and he was ok in the car after that. These items were left w him at RCAnimalCare If you wish to adopt him, please contact Rancho Cucamonga Animal Center, Pet ID #A771010 : cut+paste: www.adoptapet.com/pet/42895487-rancho-cucamonga-california-chihuahua

Sila

Border Collie

Female, Young
Pico Rivera, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Sila was acquired as a gift from my family. She is a beautiful border collie with tons of energy. She is about 1 year old and weighs under 25 pounds. She is a sweet girl who loves to play and seeks attention. Unfortunately, my schedule is very demanding and I am unable to care for Sila and provide her the appropriate exercise and attention she requires. She is not house trained and does not walk appropriately on a leash. She will require an experienced person who is patient and can teach her these skills. Sila needs a loving home and environment where she can be provided plenty of attention/play and daily exercise, preferably a home with a very large outside yard so that Sila has plenty of room to run freely. If you are considering adopting, please look into the exercise requirements of a border collie before bringing her home as this breed can quickly develop behavior problems if not appropriately trained and cared for.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We bought Snowy from a Lab breeder when she was about 4 months old in March. She's a very energetic dog. Loves to play and go on walks. Loves snacks and loves to eat. Unfortunately we just can't keep her any longer. With work, kids therapy appointments we just don't have time for her and it's not fair for Snowy not to receive the attention she needs. She loves to lay at your feet and be around people. We thought we could take on a large dog but with all that we have with work and the kids therapies it's just not possible and it's not fair to Snowy. She deserves a family that can give her the attention she needs. If anyone would like to come and meet her, we are more than willing to have them come and spend time with her to see if she is a good fit for their family. Snowy does have a puppy package that is in effect at Banfield pet hospital. This is the reason we are requesting an adoption fee.

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
FOSTER/ADOPTER NEEDED asap!!! Everyone, meet this super friendly and absolutely precious sweet boy named Jewelz. Jewelz has been in boarding for about 2 years patiently waiting for a foster/family. Despite not having any lucky finding his people, Jewelz is full of personality and such a sweet boy! Jewels will not go anywhere without his toy!! He walks around with his toy in his mouth…no matter where he goes, he’s sure to bring his toy with him! He loves his beds, belly rubs, he loves to cuddle, and rides well in the car. Jewels does great with other dogs his size and would do just fine having canine siblings of his size in his home. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped and housebroken. He is truly a good boy! Would you be interested in opening your home and your heart to this sweet fellow?
