Story

Bo or Beau (meaning in French 'good-looking') would be a handsome complement to the right family. He is needing someone who is confident, looking to get involved and show him the boundaries and define the expectations, who is able to structure healthy interactions. Beau is a powerful dog in mind and spirit, and he is looking for the right fit - an assertive pack leader to bond with who provides him with guidance and the needed, positive assurance and reinforcement. Beau is a Good Boy wanting to please his human and, of course, it must be a symbiotic relationship. Beau, like many children, will put it to the test to see what's allowed and if he can make more decisions on his own. His pack leader will help Beau navigate these decisions, so he feels comfortable while facing certain situations such as dealing with other dogs or door rushing. Energy control and responsiveness is on the forefront as Beau learns the dynamics of his new relationships and proper introductions - it gets better with every encounter when the pack leader understands his beautiful personality and temperament, staying mindful of guiding Beau to be his very best with people or dogs in social settings. He does well with other dog introductions when given enough time to know them, but the most guidance needed will be when meeting dominant or stressed dogs, particularly other assertive males. If an encounter becomes tense, Beau will easily go into a crate or dog run to rebalance; he can be crated next to other dogs without incident or reactivity, it serves as a den to calm and adjust him. A few times he was confronted with a dominant male where separation was appropriate, and his trainer was able to leash and bring him away without a struggle or argument. Beau has a transition coach who will be available by appointment to share with his adopter the key points to structuring a positive outcome. Training may refer to the dog but you'll agree that a big part is for the benefit of a pack leader who recognizes how to face the phases of development and growth. The lifelong commitment between the two is dependent on building a solid foundation. And if there are other dogs, Beau's playfulness and adaptability will require skilled management, patience, and time to integrate the pack. Beau is up to date on his shots, neutered, microchipped, and ready for his special meet & greet day with a potential fur family. He thrives on a natural, whole raw meat and food regimen. Also included in his adoption are two consultations discussing his nutrition and biological balance. Beau is in Menifee, CA.

Story

Gemma is a stunning beautiful Blue/Grey spayed American Staffordshire Bully. Gemma is just 47lbs and 4 years old and has been completely vetted! So she is on the small side of this breed. Looking for a loving, sweet indoor and out door adventure partner, then look no further.. Gemma loves going for walks, doing zoomies in the yard and going out to new restaurants with her humans. She knows how to sit, shake, touch, go to place, leave it and when called by her name comes instantly. She is trained to walk on the left side of her human and never pulls. She never wanders off and stays very close to her humans. She loves going to the beach where she can run on the sand as fast as she can. Her energy level is medium. She can lay on the couch and snuggle all day or go for a couple of walks. Every night by 7:00 she is asleep on the couch and ready for bed. She sleeps in her crate upstairs with her humans. She is potty trained but needs to go out every 2 to 3 hours except at night when she's in her crate. She is good with other dogs but must be monitored when playing. Gemma likes to run the fastest and play the hardest. Gemma would do best in an adult home and is very loyal to her peeps. Breed experience is a plus too...

Story

Affectionate and LovingWedge is an amazing 10-month-old with so much potential to be a great dog for any family! He does well with older children and other friendly dogs. He enjoys rough-housing with his foster sister and plays very nicely with the family's older dog. Wedge is a snuggler and loves couch privileges while still doing very well in his crate. His current foster family fell in love with him super fast and are absolutely heartbroken to have to let him go. He gets uncomfortable around strangers and is working with a trainer to help him gain confidence and work through whatever happened to him before he came to us. The trainer is positive that Wedge's training be successful. He just needs a home with stability and patience. His current foster has a busy schedule and young children which aren't conducive to his need for consistency. He just needs more time to settle in, as all rescue dogs do, to feel secure, and gain confidence, and he will be an amazing addition to any Loving family! The foster family does think Wedge would do best with older kids. He loves being played with and loved on. Another dog in a secure backyard to make Wedge feel safe would also be ideal. He's an active puppy that would benefit greatly from walks. He is best in a calmer home as he does have some fear issues so a family that has people coming and going may be too overstimulating for Wedge, Wedge needs people to be introduced to him in a way that makes him feel safe. We do encourage Wedge's adopter to provide him with structure, stability, consistency, tons of love, and continued training to set him up for success. His trainer will help Wedge's new family with 2 training sessions at no charge. If you are interested in meeting Wedge, please submit a completed adoption application found under the forms tab.

Meet Avia! Sweet Mama Avia is all done being a mom to her 14 adorable pups and is ready to find her forever home. We believe she’s a young Boxer/American Staffordshire Terrier mix. Avia is very smart and also a quick learner. She knows sit, lay, and leave it. She also knows her name very well and let’s you know when it’s time to go outside. She’s a huge cuddler and loves to sleep next to her foster mom. She loves playing and chasing balls but not really into bringing them back. She’s super polite and gentle when you hand her treats. She’s a great walker and doesn’t pull on the leash. She does get startled by joggers, bikes and scooters and sometimes barks at them on walks but with a little training that is something she can learn to grow better accustomed to. She’s looking for her forever family to smoother with kisses. *************************************************************** Interested in adopting this pet?
