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

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!

Penny

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

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!

Banjo 🐾 The SWEETEST boy

Rat Terrier Labrador Retriever

Male, 1 yr 4 mos

West Hollywood, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Sweet little Banjo has had such a HORRIBLE start at life, but you wouldn't know if from his willingness to trust people and love life! He was saved as a tiny puppy from a hoarder house that had 59 dogs living outside in filth, over breeding. Then put in a kennel for the first 8 months of his life! We just couldn't let him stay there one more day as a kennel is no place for a dog long term, much less a puppy. He was saved w/his kennel mate from the same hoarding situation and are now in a foster home w/our trainer learning how to be inside dogs. They both are doing SO GREAT! Banjo is super playful and loves meeting new people and dogs on his walks. He's knows sit, is crate trained and potty trained. He's scared of loud noises and is a bit timid around new things, but that is to be expected w/a dog that's had no socialization in the real world until now. We would LOVE for Banjo to be adopted into a home w/another dog as he loves playing with all the dogs at his foster home or into a home that will hike him a couple times a week and have a couple play dates for him with friends dogs. He's social with other dogs and we love for dogs that like other dogs to have that in their life! Apply to adopt Banjo today! He's really a special little soul that deserves the best life ever!
