Story
He was surrendered to us in 2022 when his person was too sick to care for him. He was then adopted and lived in what we thought would be his forever home, but a year and a half later they returned him back to us due to no fault of his own. He is energetic, enjoys long walks, and loves nothing more than to be right next to someone. We think he is now about 10 years old. He may be a mix of Rat Terrier and Chihuahua, but we can never be sure of that. He is hit or miss with other dogs, mostly miss, so we want to place him as an only dog (and no cats) in an adult-only home or home with older children. If you are looking for the most loyal best friend that will never leave your side, this is the guy for you. We do require visits here to our rescue in Agua Dulce, CA, and in person home checks for all adoptions.

Story
Itty bitty Ace lived with an unhoused person for the first few months of his life and then was rehomed to someone who just dumped him on a busy road in Acton a few weeks ago. He is not even a year old and has never had a stable home. We call him itty bitty because he’s so petite, maybe 25 pounds. He definitely has heeler in him, maybe rat terrier, and your guess is as good as ours on the rest. He’s sweet, a little shy, and we are certain he would make the most loyal companion if just given the chance. He looks like a big dog, but he’s so small. We require visits here to our rescue and in person home checks for all adoptions.

Story
Stone is a wonderful dog who we adopted at 12 weeks after losing our adult dog to cancer. We have two toddlers and our family didn’t feel complete without a dog! Recently however we’ve realised Stone needs someone who can give him more attention than we are able to with the two children. The kids are two and three and Stone is now almost a year old. He did 4 weeks at a very upscale dog training program and can come and sit and also did leash training, but we don’t have time to reinforce the training and it seems selfish to let such a wonderful dog with so much potential not have the attention he deserves.

Story
Text or email only for direct contact with rescuer Located in Lancaster Approved for same day adoption (661)609-2186 memeco635@gmail.com Hello I’m Dustin I was surrendered to a high kill shelter in San Bernardino county after my owners were reported for neglect and hoarding. I was kept away from the public for months while I saw each member of my family being taken 1 by 1 and never coming back, I know they were being killed because I was close to a room that smelt like death. I was scared stiff when anyone came close to me because I was just waiting for my time to come where I’d be taken out and never return. Thankfully my life was saved being the last in my cage a transporter decided I was going to go to this rescuer who couldn’t say no if she saw me so I was loaded up with a few barking dogs and when I arrived I didn’t know what to expect. I would freeze and try to hide if my rescuer came close but she was very patient. I didn’t know what it meant to be a dog but I liked attention from her and especially the treats she’d bring (my favorite is the whipped cream can!) when she comes home I get excited and give he small licks than I retreat because that’s all I really know, I love other dogs and I look to them for guidance on how to react to certain things. I love other dogs, both large and small and I like cats and don’t aggravate them, but I have developed a bit of a pray-drive with rodents and caught my first rat a couple weeks ago I ancestors would be proud because that is what I was bred to be. I would do best in a home with people who are patient and loving and would give me time to open up my heart to trust people once again. I really hope I find my forever home soon, I am a very sweet dog who just needs time and love so if you think this sounds like you please reach out to my rescuer, her information is listed directly above my story. schedule a time to meet me because I am approved for same-day adoption and my rescuer will provide a lot of transition tips and acclamation guides to help you and I better understand each other in our journey to becoming family, I look forward to hearing from you!

Story
Penny was pulled from the shelter after she came in as a stray and during her stray hold she gave birth to 4 puppies. The puppies have all found great homes and now it’s Penny’s turn. She was definitely a street dog, running scared and never knowing what it is to have a place to call home. She was VERY scared and unfamiliar with having a safe/indoor home before being rescued. Thankfully her foster mom is experienced and was able to help Penny settle. She is slow to trust but once she is given some patience and love, she bonds and you have a friend for life. She is terrific with other dogs and cats. Kids, fine as long as they are older and able to read her to give her the time and space necessary to help her feel safe and not pressured. She has a fabulous snuggle tooth too!
