Story
Archer is a very sweet and loving young pup, less than a year old. He loves spending his time outside playing in the yard, rolling in the leaves and chasing sticks. He is able to walk around our nearby lake and paths with his harness and even enjoys running next to you, if you'd like to. Archer doesn't require any special medicine or care, he's pretty self sufficient and just wants to love his new family. If you already have another dog he will be a welcomed addition and want nothing more than to play with others.

Story
Trixie was rescued in California, seemed to get along with any animals in the house but one dog that was aggressive towards her. And we don’t want her being sweet to be ruined so it would be best for her to go to a home that didn’t have other animals. She’s a sweetheart and two yrs old. A lot of love to give!

Story
***Currently located in Guerrero, Mexico*** Hi, I’m Kinnari, but you can call me Ki! I was rescued from the south of Troncones, where I was taking shelter in a construction site during the rains. Thankfully, a kind person spotted me and, with the help of SFS, I was able to get the medical care I needed. My journey wasn’t easy, though. After I was taken to a temporary foster home, I disappeared for over a month, and everyone was so worried about me. Just when they thought they’d lost me, I showed up again in late November, and because of my gentle nature, I was finally rescued. I’m still growing into my body, and my ears are as adorable as ever! I’m a curious and eager pup, excited to learn and experience more of the world around me. I’m working on mastering leash walking and would love to have a patient person to help me grow into the confident, well-behaved dog I’m destined to be. I’m also ready to snuggle, play, and shower my new family with love and affection. I may have had a rough start, but I’m full of hope and ready for a fresh beginning. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, and loyal companion to join your family, I might just be the perfect fit. Could you be the one to give me my forever home?

Story
Courtesy Post ***Currently located in Downey, CA*** Meet Bobby! Bobby was found as a stray on April 3, 2023, and despite our best efforts to locate his original family through posters and social media, no one has come forward to claim him. This sweet boy is now ready to find his forever home with a loving family who will cherish him. Bobby is neutered and has already proven to be a well-mannered dog who is both crate-trained and potty-trained, making him a wonderful addition to any home. Bobby is an affectionate and friendly companion who loves people of all ages, including small children. He gets along beautifully with other dogs, so he would be a great fit in a multi-pet household. Whether you're looking for a cuddle buddy to relax with or an energetic partner to join you on walks, hikes, and outdoor adventures, Bobby is eager to be by your side and share in your daily activities. This loving and loyal boy is ready to find the family he has been waiting for. If you're looking for a dog who is well-adjusted, easygoing, and ready to bring joy to your home, Bobby could be the perfect fit. He's looking for his very own human(s) to shower with love and create lasting memories together. Could that be you?   This is a COURTESY POST for Bobby Boy and Mutt Hut Rescue.

Story
***Currently located in Guerrero, Mexico*** Hi! I’m Brownie! And if you’re looking for a sweet spot in your life, I’m your girl. Like a lot of the dogs in Mexico, I was roaming the streets for the first seven months of my life, looking for food and love and somewhere warm to call my own. I was lucky enough to not have had any puppies of my own during that time, because taking care of myself was more than enough! When I was picked up by the rescue, there was some hope that I was finally on my way to brighter days.My friends here say that I’m a sweet girl with lots and lots of energy. When I play, I play HARD, and all I want to do is play! Just making up for lost time, I guess. I would do so well in a house with other dogs or lots of playdates and fun activities! Despite my past, I am already warm and affectionate with my human friends. I haven’t met very many, though, so I can be a bit timid at times. Anyone looking to bring me into their home should be prepared to spend one on one time with me not only so that I can learn how to be a girl of high society, but also so I can build the trust I so desperately want with a person. I am learning quickly how to be a pet, but it’s helpful for my friends to remember that I wasn’t a pet for the first formative months of my life.I hope that you’ll consider welcoming me into your family. At the end of a long day, I promise that a Brownie is all you need!Love and facelicks, your Brownie   If you are interested in FOSTERING, click on the Foster Button and fill out the online Foster Application If you are interested in ADOPTING, click on the Adopt Button and fill out the online Adoption Application Check out our VOLUNTEER Opportunities here https://www.surfersforstrays.org/get-involved  If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us.
