Story
How this pet arrived: Swiper was brought in by Humane Law Enforcement on January 27, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Hold on to your hats because Swiper is in town, and he's ready to steal your heart (and maybe a sock or two). This bouncy, happy-go-lucky pup is all about fun, games, and boundless energy. Whether it's zoomies around the living room or flopping over for belly rubs, Swiper is always on the move, keeping life exciting and just a little bit chaotic. But let's be real-puppies are not for the faint of heart. Swiper still has plenty to learn, including the fine art of potty training, leash walking, and understanding that shoes are not chew toys. Positive training is the name of the game, and with the right guidance (and plenty of treats), this clever pup will be well on his way to good-boy greatness. Swiper may be adorable, but don't let those puppy-dog eyes fool you-raising a pup takes commitment, patience, and a good sense of humor. If you're ready for the ups, downs, and occasional puddles of puppyhood, Swiper is ready to be your new best friend. Bring a leash, a collar, and a whole lot of enthusiasm, because once you meet him, there's no swiping left on this guy! Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: White Weight: 13 Age: 0yrs 4mths 2wks

Story
Missy was adopted from us four years ago and was a loved member of a family, but her mom got very ill and was unable to care for her any longer. So, she is back with us and in the market for a new home! Missy is approx 9 years old now. She has long, lanky legs but only weighs 10lbs. When she initially came to us, she had no socialization and was very nervous. She will likely always be a little shy (especially with men), but she does bond with her family once she is comfortable. Even when Missy is the most scared, she has never been aggressive. She doesn't growl or even snarl, she just tries to hide. She is a sensitive soul and just needs someone to give her some time to adjust to show her true personality. Now, when her foster mom gets home, Missy runs over to greet her with a wagging tail. Missy was always really quiet and mellow with us. She isn't a big cuddler but she likes to be near you. She enjoys perching on the back of the couch and relaxing most of the day. She is happy to just hang out at home and is a really easy girl! She can be left alone for hours without any issues! Missy is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. She just had bloodwork and a dental so she is good to go! She is also housebroken and crate trained. She isn't super excited about toys or food, but she loves her blankets! She also enjoys walks and does well in the car. Missy gets along with dogs and cats, but would be fine being the only pet. Due to her being nervous, we think a home with no children or hyper/large animals would be best. If you're interested in meeting this sweet senior, please submit an adoption application on our website at www.dominoeffectanimalrescue.orgOctober 22, 2024, 5:04 pm

Story
Coco is a sweet shy 6 lb  but playful gentle puppy of 6 months, she has been spayed, microchipped, dewormed, flea/tick treated and vaccinated. Coco seems to be a Rat Terrier/Chi mix, who deserves a loving home where she will be cherished. Coco loves to play with her siblings, would do best in a home in a calm environment. Older kids and if you have another dog, that's good with puppies even better! Cute, sweet and kind this puppy got it all going and is ready for her Furever home now. For more information on Coco you can contact the foster mom Kim at 714-319-0802 or submit an adoption application to: http://greendogfoundation.com/application-for-adoption/February 2, 2025, 1:27 pm
