Story
Gigi is her name. She was given to me and so I am returning the gesture and giving her to an experienced pet owner who would love her. She loves to be petted and loves to eat, very quiet and lovable. I've always made her food with beans and various meat in ground beef and turkey very little kibble. She doesn't bark or cause a disturbance and is house trained. If I was able to keep her I would.

Story
We have had Chestnut (10) in our family for about eight years. I found him at a park one day and he ended up following me all the way home. We searched for his owners for weeks and made sure he received all of his shots but no one ever claimed him so he became a permanent part of our family. Chestnut is a Golden Shepherd and Cocker Spaniel mix and has the sweetest most gentle temperament. He is very calm and affectionate and truly just wants belly rubs cuddles and treats. Chestnut enjoys both indoor and outdoor time and adapts easily to different environments. He is very friendly with other dogs and currently lives with another dog Benji (5) who is a Doberman and Beagle mix. They are extremely close and balance each other well with Chestnut being more laid back and Benji having higher energy. If possible we would love for them to stay together as they have formed a strong bond. Chestnut is food motivated and does well on a dry food diet with occasional wet food and plenty of treats.

Story
Blossom is a 4-year-old female Golden Retriever, 55 pound beauty who’s as sweet as honey and just beginning to bloom. True to her name, she’s all about fresh starts and gentle growth. 🏠 Our dogs are located in foster homes throughout Southern California ➡️ Adoption Application: https://frrescue.knack.com/db#adopter-application/ Blossom has a loving, easygoing nature and a playful side—she especially enjoys balls and squeaky toys. She’s very food motivated (and a bit of a voracious eater!), which makes her both fun and eager to please. She gets along well with other dogs and has lived with young children. On walks, she’s easy on the leash but needs a refresher on walking in a straight line, which keeps things interesting! As she recovers from her recent spay, her fosters are easing her into short walks to build her strength—go too far, and she may need to be plucked for a “ride” home.  Blossom is still decompressing, but she’s already showing what an affectionate, resilient and joyful gal she is. She’s ready to show her true colors over the next few weeks so stay tuned for any updates.
