Story
We adopted Mikey from the LASPCA in July of ‘23. He’s about 4 years old. We’re looking for a family that has no kids and preferably no other animals as he’s unpredictable with other dogs and we don’t know how he is with cats. Mikey wants to be a good boy and tries his best to do just that. He is very affectionate!

Story
Panko is 2. Yrs old. His birthday is 11/24/22. We have had him through my pregnancy and is gentle with the babies. He is very rambunctious other than that. He needs a big yard and exercise. He is german Shepard/ pit bull. We got him once he was weened off his mama. Unfortunately we can't keep him because he keep escaping our yard and has gotten hurt already. He's now constricted to a chain when we put him outside and he's broken tie-outs and doesn't respond to ecollars. I don't want him to get hurt again and I cannot sit outside with him all day.

Story
Great Healthy Dog. Lots of energy and loves to play tug-o-war and fetch her rope. Crate trained and comes with what food I have and a container as well as bed and a few toys. She loves attention and her neck scratched. She is good with most dogs if Jon aggressive. She will stand her own but would rather play. So depends on the other dog. She also would need a fenced yard and room to run.

Looking for a Loving Home for Beverly – Sweet 5-Year-Old Great Dane Catahoula Mix Beverly is affectionate, loyal, and a bit of a goof ball.

We are looking for a compassionate and patient adopter who will give Beverly the love and understanding she needs. She would thrive in a calm, stable environment that appreciates her gentle and loving nature.
