Story
Text or email only approved for same-day adoption. Please do not reach out unless you are seriously interested and ready to commit to adopting. Hello, my name is Rex. I am a retired police dog and unfortunately, I was brought to the rescue from Texas because tragedy struck my Previous Owner. My previous owner was killed in a tragic vehicle accident and the family through their grief and unable to cope with their loss and my anxiety, decided to drive me to California and surrender me to a rescue that my Former Owner knew and trusted. I didn’t settle into the rescue easily because so much happened in such a short amount of time I didn’t know what was going on the only family I knew outside of my owner was leaving me with a stranger. I have never met far from anything that smelled familiar and I was terrified. It Took me a while to settle into the rescue because nothing smelled familiar, but it was a lot easier than expected because it was a home environment instead of an outdoor kennel with barely enough room to move around. I still sleep in a bed or on the floor. I’m always given the choice. I have free roam of the house and I’m a very good boy. I let you know when I have to go potty, I love long walks. I love long hikes and I love just exploring the backyard. I know a lot of tricks and once I get to know you, I will become very protective of you if you show fear with anyone who approaches you, but I wait for your command before engaging with anyone or anything. I still have anxiety being left alone for long periods of time so another companion is ideal, but not mandatory, overtime with patience and understanding I will feel safe to submit to someone new. my rescuer was able to reach me and now I am learning to be more open with new people but it is her dream to find me a forever home with someone who knows my breed well and knows how stubborn we can be or someone who is either retired military or law-enforcement that could remind me of my Former Owner. I still have many years and lots of love to give. I just need someone willing to take a chance on me and if you think that person may be, you feel free to text or email my rescuer to set up a day for us to meet my next home must be my last in fear that I will shut down completely, and never overcome my anxiety and fear of abandonment so please please please be 100% ready to commit to me and I promise if you give me time I will show you how loyal, loving and dedicated I can be to you and your family like I was with my owner until death tore us apart. I look forward to hearing from you!

Story
Text or email only located in West Palmdale approved for same-day adoption only reach out if you are serious and ready for the commitment of adoption. Hello everyone, I am Florian. I was taken to a shelter in Shasta County and unfortunately, within a week I was placed on death row. My rescuer agreed to take a couple dogs from that shelter and I was one of the 15 that they dumped on her without her consent, but after looking into my eyes, she knew that I was destined for a better future and couldn’t bear the thought of Not taking me even though she had no space or resources for me. She decided to leave her home and rent a guest house for me and my siblings and friends from that shelter until she could find me a forever home. It has been one whole year since I’ve been in the rescue and everyone that I came with on that transport from that shelter has found their forever home except me I was rejected for the silliest reasons most recently someone didn’t like that my nose wasn’t completely black and that I had a white mark above my nose. I am a very loyal, sweet and dedicated dog and once I bond with you, I’m glued to your hip. I am a very active dog, but as long as you have a backyard or are willing to take me on at least two walks a day I’m perfectly fine. I am potty trained crate trained very well. Socialize with other dogs and children however, the rescue is on a ranch and I have developed a little bit of a prey drive with chickens and other small animals. If you have a wrap problem, I can correct it within a few days I understand commands in both English and Spanish and someone very kind decided to sponsor my adoption so my adoption is completely free to the family who decides to give me my final forever home. I’m a little on the smaller side and I am full grown and will not get any bigger 35 pounds is my peak weight but there’s so much loyalty and love wrapped up in the small package, so if you think I would make a great addition to your family, please contact my rescuer with the information directly above my story and schedule a day to come and meet me again. My adoption is sponsored so my adoption fee is waived and I am completely free, but you still have to sign an adoption contract before taking me home and taking the adoption picture to go on the adoption wall of fame. I really hope I find my forever home soon. Everyone I know has found loving homes and I’m just patiently waiting for my turn, but I look forward to finding you and showing you what unconditional love is really like!
