Story
Hello, I'm Buttercup, a young, sweet, and friendly Labrador Staffy girl. I'm as gentle as a spring breeze and as brave as I could be during my stay at the scary shelter. I'm smart too! I've figured out all the tricks the shelter staff taught me. Playful and energetic, I love a good game of fetch or tug-of-war and happy to meet the other dogs who were in here with me. I was so happy to play with them that I almost wagged my tail off !!! . But I'm not all about fun and games. I'm cuddly and love nothing more than snuggling up after a long day. I'm loyal to a fault and will always be by your side, through thick and thin. I promise to bring joy, laughter, and a whole lot of love to your life. Please rescue me and let's embark on this beautiful journey of life together. I will love you forever and ever. PLEASE EMAIL ALPHADOGPETRESCUE@yahoo.com to request our application to meet and adopt. ADOPTION FEE IS $325

Story
Zeus is 1 year and 7 months old. He is full of puppy energy and needs a home where he can be free to run and play. Zeus loves to cuddle his humans and is very treat motivated. He does still need some training to correct the jumping behavior he does when he is excited. We recently found out our daughter is allergic to dogs, and with a new baby on the way, we do not have the time to give Zeus the proper attention he deserves. Zeus is so loving and with the right amount of training and care he would be the perfect addition to someone's family!

Story
Mia was left with me from a past relationship. It is not easy for me to rehome her, she is so sweet and I feel terrible her sole owner did not take her with when they left but Mia deserves a home that can satisfy her needs - between working long days preparing for school and living in an apartment, I am looking to give Mia a better life. Mia is 7 years old, but she is so high energy you would never have guessed. In a new home we are looking for a family who has time to spend with Mia because she loves walks, cuddles on the couch/bed and attention. Preferably a 2 or more person house hold. Mia has a sassy little personality and does well with other dogs. She establishes her boundaries but never takes it too far. Having a brother or sister may help her stay entertained. Her pet sitter has described her as: Mia is energetic and loves love ! She cuddles you and is excited to go where you’re headed ! She is amazing and great around other dogs.

Story
A19873 Luna is a brown and white, 9-year-old, 60-pound, spayed female, Labrador Pitbull mix. She was surrendered by her owner for not getting along with other dogs. Luna has been in foster care with a volunteer and we a great update on her behavior. Her foster mom says the following about Luna: Luna is absolutely a joy to handle and play with. Although she is technically a senior dog, she is full of energy and loves her walks/ adventures, errands to the garden center, or a simple car ride through the drive-thru. She loves her car rides and will gladly join you wherever you go. She settles down easily once home and is a very quiet girl (rarely if ever barks when indoors). She loves meeting new people, big or small. She is quite the loving girl. She has no food aggression (small or big hands are welcome in her food bowl) She is very easy to give medication or supplements (currently taking joint supplements), no fuss at all. She is fully potty trained and will whine when she is ready to be let out. She is not fond of bath time or nail trimmings but we're working on it. She is very easy to leash and walk. She loves long albeit slow walks, enjoys people watching, and sniffing everything. In terms of other dog/ animal reactivity: She does whine when she sees or hears a dog, slightly pulling towards them. At this time we're working on her staying fully calm. On the other hand, we have gone on walks with neighbors with dogs (you'll see a picture of a small neighbor dog), as long as she's on a walk and her energy is mostly drained she can be very calm, so this is a big step in the right direction to keeping her calm around other dogs.

Story
A23080 Darcy is a black with white colored, approximately 6-year-old, 37- pound, spayed female, Pitbull. She entered the shelter as a stray on 10-22-2024 and was spayed and had a dental cleaning by our medical staff. Darcy is a friendly, easy to handle girl here in the shelter. Our staff says she is a sweet girl that loves affection and being loved on. She was easy to leash, had a soft pull in excitement to be out of the kennel and exploring, but very easy to walk. She loves people and is treat motivated, and knows how to 'sit' on command. She has no interest in other dogs here at the shelter. Darcy will be a loving, loyal companion in her new forever home.

Story
A24194 Sheba is a tan and black colored, approximately 5-year-old, 65-pound, spayed female, Pitbull. She entered the shelter as an owner surrender on 12-09-2024 due to the fact they were moving and couldn’t bring dogs. She came in with Kreed. Sheba is a friendly, eager, easy to handle girl here in the shelter. Our staff says she is really friendly and happy to see you approach her kennel, giving you an excited tail wag. She was easy to leash and well behaved during our walks. She has had some training and will “sit” upon command. She has no interest in other dogs here at the shelter. The previous owner says she is house broken, used a doggy door and she has lived with other dogs, and cats, but not children. Sheba will be a loving, loyal family member in her new forever home. Sheba has chronic skin allergies that seem to be worse here at the shelter causing her to become quite itchy. She requires weekly baths and has been on steroids for her condition. She may need further care that is beyond that of which the shelter can provide. Please consider saving Miss Sheba, so she can get her allergies better controlled with regular primary veterinary care.

Story
Meet Indigo, a sweet and resilient 3-year-old who has been with us for a year and a half after being abandoned. During her time with us, she’s made incredible progress, completing training to become a more well-rounded companion. Indigo is a true cuddle bug who loves to snuggle up with her people, but she does best in a home with plenty of space—no apartments, condos, or townhouses, please. While she’s reactive outside the home, with the right environment and consistent mental and physical stimulation, Indigo thrives. She needs an active family who can provide her with the exercise and attention she craves. If you’re looking for a loyal and loving companion with a lot of potential, Indigo might be the perfect match for you!

Meet Nalu, a lovable 5-year-old pit bull with a heart full of joy! Nalu is fantastic with kids and other dogs, making him the perfect family companion. He’s well-mannered, knowing all his basic obedience commands, and is both off-leash and crate trained. One of Nalu’s favorite pastimes is cuddling on the couch, where he’ll happily snuggle up with you. He also loves running alongside bikes and hopping on the treadmill for a good workout! And if you leave your clothes within reach, be prepared for a playful nibble here and there—it’s just his quirky way of showing affection. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate companion, Nalu is ready to be your loyal best friend!

Story
Meet Gracie! She’s a sweet and playful pup who is crate trained and sleeps peacefully for 6-8 hours each night without any accidents. While she’s great about potty time when taken outside every hour, she has had the occasional accident indoors if it’s been too long between breaks. Gracie is friendly and social, especially at the park, where she loves interacting with kids, though her excitement can sometimes lead to jumping, so she might not be the best fit for very young children. She gets along well with her big 120lb pit/mastiff buddy, though she’s still learning boundaries and listens well to corrections or redirection. Despite her playful nature, Gracie is also a cuddler and loves spending time with humans, always looking for opportunities to snuggle. As for cats, we’re still unsure, so a slow introduction would be best. Gracie is a loving and energetic companion who’s ready to bring joy to the right home!

Story
DUCKY IS in FOSTER NEAR HESPERIA CA She is a very sweet WHITE Boxer girl who weighs about 40-45 pounds. We rescued her from a high kill shelter, where she came in as a stray and soon gave birth to a litter of adorable brindle & fawn puppies. DUCKY is good with the Aussies in her foster home and has been great with other little dogs and with cats, rides great in a car and although very playful, she is gentle and well behaved. Ducky had a rough go of it having her babies in a cold shelter and she is a little thin and weary, eating plenty of good food and gaining needed weight. Pups have been weaned, are fat and healthy and have been adopted. Mommy is so so so sweet and gentle and would make an awesome pet to anyone. Her blankets are neat and clean and she is not destructive. Enjoys walking on leash and adores company and attention. Please email Alphadogpetrescue@yahoo.com to ask for our adoption application to adopt Ducky and make her your own best friend. Her adoption fee is $375, fully vetted, spayed and microCHIPPED
