Story
Charlie is a rescue I acquired 2 1/2 years ago. He is 5 1/2 and came from a neglected home. Charlie is a very low maintenance pet when it comes to affection. He likes to be pet but he's not overly needy or following you around. He does not get on the furniture and prefers his spot/dog bed. He's always happy to see me when I arrive home. He likes to take walks 2X a day but can't walk too far as he has back issues. He gets along with our cat and other dog. Charlie does not get along with small children.The perfect home for Charlie is a house with no small children. Charlie would love to play with another small/large dog if you have one. He also loves the mailman. I can share more about Charlie if you are interested in adopting him.

Story
Meet Bug, the tiny warrior with a heart much bigger than his 8.5 lb frame. Life hasn’t been kind to him. He’s only 6 years old and still has so much to offer. Bug was found as a stray in Long Beach and his matting was so severe that it cost him his front leg (it literally fell off at the shelter before they got him into the surgery room.)  Despite the trauma of his past, Bug is showing us the true definition of resilience. He is currently learning to navigate the world on three legs with incredible bravery. While Bug is dog-friendly, he’s a bit of an introvert right now and prefers to keep to himself as he regains his confidence. If you have a soft spot for the underdogs (and the “tripawds”) and a little extra room in your home, you could be the family that leads Bug to his forever life.

Story
Meet Buffy! This stunning and intelligent 13 month old, 18 lb gal will full your heart. Buffy is housebroken, loves walks, sleeps in a crate and loves lots of toys! Her ideal home would include another small to medium sized dog and older children. She is high energy so an active home with daily walks and play time is ideal. Buffy has had training. She just needs a family to keep up on everything she has learned. Her DNA shows 22% Shih Tzu, 20% poodle, 20% chi, 18% Pomeranian. But she is 100% gorgeous! Buffy is being fostered in San Clemente and would love to meet you!   For a complete list of our pets and photos please visit our website fochp.org  May 17, 2026, 1:39 pm
