You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Luca—Our Silly, Sweet Boy  Say hello to Luca, our affectionate and playful 10 lb Maltese mix who was found as a stray in Orange County. Luca has stolen our hearts with his silly antics (he loves showing off his teeth in the funniest way!) and his love for cuddles. But behind that adorable smile, Luca has some medical challenges. He has a heart murmur, tooth decay, and gum disease that need immediate attention. He’s working on getting healthy and will soon need dental treatment to ease his discomfort and keep that silly grin intact. Once he has completed his surgery, he will be available for adoption.&#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 &#226&#158&#161&#239&#184&#143 Donate here: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=VJEXAFXEE84BE &#226&#158&#161&#239&#184&#143 Adoption Application here:  https://rainbowbridgerescue.org/applications/ Luca may have had a rough start, but with your support, he’s well on his way to brighter days filled with love, play, and wagging tails.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › MaltipooTuxedo is an energetic boy who loves to run and play. He enjoys chew toys and playing with other dogs. He does well in his crate for limited times during the day and he is a good sleeper whether in his human's bed or on his dog bed. He is not fully potty trained so a fenced back yard for outdoor play time would be great. Although he [has] been on a harness and leash, he finds himself getting distracted and darting in different directions. He's a loving boy with a good heart and a kind spirit. He is smart and he's a good eater. He's not picky with his food. He lives his live with joyful abandon and happiness.Tuxedo is estimated to be around 4 years old and 12 lbs.You can apply to adopt me here: https://www.pawfectmatch.org/info/adoptionVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 1, 2025, 8:53 am

Story
*** AVAILABLE ON-SITE FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS ONLY *** Meet Jan- a sweet girl in search of a lap, love, a comfy spot in the sun, and YOU! Jan is a friendly and undemanding girl who warms up quickly to new people. Pick her up and she will melt in your arms! Jan is a queen on a leash and enjoys short walks around the neighborhood. She is housebroken with regular trips outdoors. Jan gets along great with other dogs and prefers to hang out rather than engage in play. Jan’s favorite spot is curled up on the couch, soaking up all the coziness she can get. Jan prefers to be close to her people and would do well with someone who works from home or is retired. Jan does not prefer a crate and sleeps quietly on the bed at night with no issues. Jan is a volunteer and adoption team favorite! If you are looking for a loving companion who is quiet and laid back, then Jan is your girl! *A special note about Jan - this gal doesn't mean to be picky, but she will need to remain on a special diet for the rest of her life to help prevent bladder stones and keep her feeling her best. Ask one of our adoption counselors for more information!
