Story
Hi pals! I'm Poppy, a sweet young female pup just 1 year and 10 months old. I am shy, loving, and friendly, spending my days having fun, exploring, playing with soft toys, and playing hide and seek with my foster sibling dog. I have a lot of puppy energy and playfulness, and I am looking for a family that can keep up with me and continue teaching me manners and obedience. I am good with children, love cuddles and am doing well at being crate trained. I also like cats and turtles, and I am learning quickly how to be potty and leash trained. I am a fun and loyal pup and cannot wait to find my forever loving home.

Story
Hi pals! I go by Opal, the adorable 1.5-year-old lady pitbull with a heart of gold. My journey began in an orchard in Tulare County, CA, where a kind soul stumbled upon me and rescued me from abandonment. I am crashing at a temporary spot for now, but what I really need is a forever home or a cozy foster family. I am a total sweetheart - gentle, loving, and ready to shower you with affection. My little pup has already found a home, and now it is my turn to find my happily ever after! To make my adoption dreams come true, the hero who found me is even willing to drive me halfway to San Diego, CA for the right family. If you are up for lending a helping paw, get in touch with Passion for Pitties to uncover more about me. Just a heads up, they have not met me in person, so all they know about me is from what others have shared. Let us make magic happen!

Story
A friend gave us Bae when she was 4 months old. She’s been a great dog and this decision was not taken lightly. Bae is very loving, loves to cuddle, and strives for our attention. She is very good home alone and has never had an accident in the house. She loves going to dog beach and running in the water. While there she usually follows us as we walk on the shore and doesn’t really pay any mind to most dogs. This past year with a newborn was slightly challenging as over protective parents we kept a close eye and limited the interactions with Bae and our baby. She has not shown aggression to the baby. We do notice we aren’t able to give Bae the attention she needs. We also just had a second baby that needs a lot of medical attention that we need to take care of. We also realized the reality that we cannot give Bae the life she deserves.

Story
Breed: American StaffyAge: 8 years oldWeight: 40 lbsPersonality: -has vision issues (possibly a recent thing) and if you move to quick, can get defensive. Once she sniffs/licks you she’s fine. -LOVES to sleep in bed with people and doesn’t move an inch -has had some sort of Trauma at some point and is learning to trust again (if you know the breed, they typically bounce back quickly. She is taking a bit). After 3 weeks with Babs she play bows and wiggles when she runs around the house. -*caution* she WILL weasel her way into your heart really quickly. -ok in a crate (might do better on a consistent potty schedule with the crate)   Flight Risk: do not leave unattended in a yard, crate training is a must when you are gone, tight grip on the leash is a must on adventures.
