Story
We saved Destiny from the San Bernardino shelter about 4 years ago. She was adopted by a wonderful woman who loved her and gave her a good home. Unfortunately, Destiny now finds herself back with us as her mom passed away a few months ago. She was sad at first, but she is finally coming out of it and is ready to find her next forever home. Destiny is great with people -- she will love everyone. She enjoys her walks and is also happy to just chill in the shade. She will learn to get along with some dogs, but she would probably prefer to be the only dog in her family. Please come meet Destiny. She is a sweet girl who just wants love.

Once she’s comfortable around you she loves to receive affection but it can take some time to earn her trust. She absolutely loves other dogs and is great with everyone she’s met. Shelby is good around dogs of all sizes (and prefers their company over humans), she is good with cats and has also met livestock including goats, sheep, chickens, etc. Shelby walks nicely on a leash right next to you but can become a little bit nervous when a car drives by. She just moves to the other side to create some space between her and the car. She is calm and mellow in the house, potty trained, crate trained and calm over food. Shelby is around 5 years old. She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on her shots. Shelby rarely barks and is generally pretty quiet. Shelby would do really great if she has a confident dog friend in the home with her.

Hi! My name is Wally! I was rescued from Carson Animal Shelter, CA around June 2024 and I am now thriving here at Amore For Dogs Rescue so much that I am ready to find my forever home. I am in great health with great energy. Also, I have been trained to smooth my manners and I am doing really great now on following commands and my humans. I am also a very good boy with my doggy friends here at Amore For Dogs, especially with our young puppies. I love to play fetch and play with water, so I would be super happy at the beach. If you are looking for a wonderful dog (ME!) to take for adventures and have a lot of fun with, I am your guy! Plus I am a very good looking boy, don't you agree? And I am super sweet!! If you would like to meet me please contact: viviana@amorefordogs.org She will walk you through the adoption process

He was dumped by his owners and left to starve and we just couldn’t imagine why because he truly is so sweet. Jackson is a Pitt mix, on the smaller side. He’s under 30 lbs and is between 9-10 years old.  He’s best described as extremely sweet and is gentle and great with dogs of all sizes. He spends most of his time sleeping and sunbathing but he does love his walks too. Adopt Jackson by applying at https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html      January 24, 2025, 11:21 pm

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Olive is a five-year-old Pittie/Australian Shepherd mix who was rescued from a shelter three years ago. She is very sweet when she warms up to people, but she is fearful when she first meets someone. Her behavior can come across as aggressive because of her fear, but she has never bitten or hurt anyone and don’t think she ever would. We love her very much, but we are moving soon and the new apartment complex doesn’t allow large dogs. She is used to living with another dog and a cat, and she gets along great with them. She has also lived with children in the past and loved them. The perfect family for her would be a family who is patient with her fears and wants to cuddle with her. She loves to cuddle and has so much love to give!

These pups are in Costa Mesa, California too!

Story
Henry came to us by way of the SEAACA animal shelter.  When he arrived at the shelter two weeks prior, he was in pretty terrible shape.  His ears were destroyed by fly strikes, and his entire muzzle was covered in scabs/sores.  He waited for two weeks, but nobody ever claimed him, and he wasn't adopted.  We were able to step in and save him from taking his final walk. Henry is literally one of the calmest boxers we have ever seen. He's pretty solid, but so so so tender. He has those beautiful, soulful, amber eyes.  It's obvious that Henry wasn't dealt the best hand early in his life, and he probably spent most of his time outdoors. Our vet examined him thoroughly and ran all of the appropriate tests.  He believes Henry to be about 3 years old, but we are estimated between 3-5 just to be safe (his teeth indicate closer to 3).  He really just wants to be your couch buddy.  Do you have space?  If so, please fill out an adoption application located here:  Adopt (rrboxerrescue.org)November 6, 2024, 12:12 am

Story
Pete is a 3 year old male Pete is an absolute dream dog who adores all people. Due to not being great with other dogs Pete has had extensive professional training and his adopters  will get several training sessions to ensure a great start to his new life with you.    He is the absolute favorite dog at the training facility.  Meet Pete! Isn't he a hunk!?!?!?! Pete came to us from the Riverside shelter. He has been with us since just before Thanksgiving and we have gotten to know a lot about him. &#226&#128&#139 Pete is a tender hearted guy who just wants to snuggle and love his humans. He is very affectionate with people he knows, but it's obvious he's had his heart broken in his past, so he is very guarded with his heart.  He needs a home with no other dogs. He is definitely potty trained and very well mannered. He will definitely be on Santa's nice list. He is crate trained He does great with kids but due to his behavior around other dogs, we are not comfortable placing him with kids at this time.    He really wants to be home for the holidays. Is that your home? If so, please fill out an app and set up a meet and greet. He would make a great apartment dog. As he is not a barker!   Available from R&R Boxer Rescue:  Pete (rrboxerrescue.org)November 6, 2024, 12:12 am

Story
He's a sweet boy that's obviously gorgeous, dog friendly, and just a little quirky. He came to us with several rectal strictures, at deaths door, but now he's just on stool softener(likely for life) and otherwise a healthy young boy. He's about 2 years old, crate trained, but not quite potty trained. He's a good boy but he needs someone that can give him structure and training. He currently has 2 fosters with "joint custody" that love him a lot but it's a lot of back and forth for him and we'd love for him to have a family of his own that could give him the time that he deserves.
