Story
Hello there, I'm Bear. I've been told I'm sweet and gentle, though I might seem a bit aloof at first. It's just my way of getting to know you. I promise, once I'm comfortable, you'll see my softer side. I enjoy quiet afternoons, a good chew toy, and the occasional belly rub. I've been living here at the shelter, making the best of things, but I'm ready for a change. I'm hoping to find a home where I can be me, in all my gentle, aloof glory. You should adopt me because I'm Bear, and I promise to be the best companion you could ever wish for.

Story
Ralph is a 3-year-old stunning boy with a heart of gold. He's a big, goofy boy who loves attention and cuddles. Despite his size, Ralph is a gentle giant who enjoys playing tug-of-war and being a constant companion. Unfortunately, Ralph's current family is unable to give him the attention and space he deserves. He needs a home with a big yard to run in and someone who has the time and patience to continue his training. Ralph loves all people but may not get along with other animals, so a single-pet home would be ideal. He is reactive to other dogs, so his family has never truely tested how he'd do with them... they've always just kept their distance. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who is eager to please, Ralph might be the perfect dog for you. * Age: 3 years * Suspected Breed: Akita Mix * Sex: Male * Neutered: Yes * Up-to-date on vaccinations: Yes * Potty trained: Yes * Crate trained: Yes * Knows basic commands: Sit, stay, down, come * Personality: Gentle, loving, playful, energetic * Ideal home: Active family with a large yard and plenty of time to spend with him * Does not do well with: Other animals Ralph is a wonderful dog who deserves a loving home where he can thrive. If you think you can provide him with the care and attention he needs, please complete an application!

Story
SHADOW is ready for the holidays and all this cuddly 2 year old sweetheart wants for Christmas is a family of her own finally! Shadow does not mind living with cats and is very mellow and easygoing for her age. She does not need a large yard or tons of exercise, she prefers lounging on the couch with you chewing on bones and going on leisurely walks around the neighborhood. Shadow is well mannered and non destructive inside the house and has no separation anxiety when left alone. She may get the zoomies once in a while and even play with toys if you get her going but her rare bursts of energy are mostly contained to getting excited and even jumping up once when her favorite human comes home from work and when it's time to eat. Shadow loooves food, she ll do tricks for just kibble and anything for treats. Shadow loves dog friendly kids! She can be a little scared of new adult people and need a minute to warm up sometimes but nice kids, she’ll love right away. Shadow knows Sit and Down and Wait and Stay and a few other tricks like Spin and Shake and Touch. Shadow’s favorite activity besides napping and eating is chewing on bones and kongs and work on food puzzles, she is Extremely food motivated. Shadow is a little shy at first when meeting new people, she may even bark at strangers because she’s worried about them, but it just takes a few minutes and some treats to become her new best friend. She also gets scared at busy or new places, like at the groomer’s or the vet’s but will allow all handling and relax with some treats. Food and treats, always the way to this girl’s heart. Shadow would do well being the only dog in the home but has lived with other dogs in foster care and done very well also, she prefers males usually but it depends. Meet and greets are required if she were to live with another dog. Shadow has enjoyed playing and running around with some of her foster siblings but not gotten along with others. As long as the other dogs are well balanced and easy going also and don’t try to take her food or chews away. Feeding separately is absolutely necessary as well as being separated for chew/treat times. Currently Shadow is living with a cat in her foster home with no issues, they hang out together peacefully. She also goes to the dog park when it’s not super crowded and has made many doggie friends she plays with nicely. Shadow is a 2 year old Akita mix, about 70 pounds, spayed, chipped and UTD on all shots. Please contact foster for any other questions at (714) 224-9432 and fill out an application on our website.

Story
A23954 Glacier is a white and black colored, approximately 1-year-old, 37-pound, neutered male, Husky. He entered the shelter as a stray on 11-27-2024 and was altered by our medical staff. He came is with and is bonded to another Husky, Frosty and they must be adopted together. Glacier is a friendly, timid and shy boy here at the shelter. He is doing much better now that he kenneled with Frosty. They were left tied to a tree in front of the shelter, but Frosty escaped and was caught a few days later. Our staff says he is a friendly boy trying to figure out this shelter environment. He has had some training and will “sit” “down” and “stay” upon command. He was easy to leash and walks well on a leash. He is nervous here and will freeze when scared. He is getting better each day, since Frosty was brought in. As soon as he recognized Frosty, he started calling out for him and we put them together. He has no interest in other dogs here at the shelter. Glacier will be a loving family member in his new forever home.
