Story
Hi there! My name is Hansel, and Im a sweet little puppy currently in foster care with my sister Greta. Were two loving puppies who are learning and growing every day. Im a playful little guy who enjoys toys, exploring, and running around when I get the puppy zoomies. But I also love the quiet moments, especially when someone rubs my belly. Belly rubs are definitely one of my favorite things! My foster family says Im very affectionate and love attention. I enjoy spending time with people, taking cozy naps, and even watching Bluey during our downtime. Its all part of my daily routine while I grow big enough to find my forever home. Like all puppies, Im still learning and will need a family who has the time and patience to teach me, guide me, and help me continue my training. If youre looking for a sweet, playful puppy who loves cuddles, attention, and a little bit of fun, I might just be the perfect match for you. Please visit our website desertpawssanctuary.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

Story
Arlo is a sweet, fun, easy pup! He gets along with everyone (dogs, cats and kids) and loves to play, but he is not too hyper or needy. If you feel like being active he will happily join you on a hike or adventure. He loves car rides! We recently took him to dog beach and he did well, but wasn't a fan of the water. At home, he enjoys his toys and playing fetch or wrestling with his dog pals. If you just want to relax at home, Arlo is also content to hang out and watch TV with you. Arlo is fine with all people, but can be indifferent when meeting strangers. However, just spend some time with him and he will quickly bond. Then, he loves to cuddle and will even sit in your lap for hugs! Arlo looks like a Boxer/Pug mix. He is only 25lbs and about the size of a stocky Beagle. He is just 2 years old and in great shape! He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped already. Arlo is also crate trained and housebroken! If you'd like to meet Arlo, please submit an adoption application on our website at www.dominoeffectanimalrescue.orgMarch 13, 2026, 10:54 pm

Story
Leo & Oatmeal – Bonded Besties Looking for Their Forever Home (Together!)   Leo and Oatmeal are a very special bonded pair who are ready to find their forever home — together. These two share a deep connection and rely on one another for comfort, confidence, and security. Where one goes, the other follows    Because of their strong bond, Leo and Oatmeal would do best as the only dogs in the home. While they can get along with other dogs, they are very protective of each other, and we believe they will be happiest and most relaxed in a home where they can enjoy life as a duo.   They would do best in a home with older children. Leo absolutely loves his toys and happily takes playtime very seriously — especially when it comes to balls and his favorite toys. He can be very focused on his play, so it’s important that children in the home understand and respect his love of toys and give him space during playtime. In the right environment, his playful spirit truly shines.    Their details:   Bonded pair – must be adopted together Best in a home with older children Prefer to be the only dogs Spayed & neutered Up-to-date on vaccines Microchipped Ready for their forever home     Leo and Oatmeal are looking for a family who understands the beauty of bonded pairs and is willing to welcome both of them into their hearts and home. If you’re looking for double the love, companionship, and loyalty, this sweet duo may be exactly who you’ve been waiting for.    To apply to adopt Leo & Oatmeal, please visit: www.kpprescue.com        If you’re ready for double the snorts, double the cuddles, and double the love, Leo and Oatmeal are waiting for you. ##2623515##

Story
🧡🧡🧡💜💜💜💜 This 11 year old gal is hanging out with me and looking for a couch to sit on, conversation to listen to, bed to snuggle in and a human to call her own. She is an easy keeper who is gentle on leash, quiet in the yard, and chill around other dogs (I don’t know about cats). She likes to engage in toy play but also can entertain herself with favorite toys. Getting on the couch or bed is a starting to get little challenging for her but she is very much an active swimmer! Her mom suddenly passed away from a horrible lung disease. Thank you for helping me to help her land in open arms.
