Astara is a stunning 1 year old 95 lb husky/hound mix with all the puppy energy and a calm, gentle soul. She makes friends everywhere, has zero concept of personal space, and will try to crawl into any empty lap. She LOVES other dogs and playing.

Barley is a very special boy looking for his special forever. This handsome Akita/Dutchie mix is about 4 years old, 60 lbs, neutered and UTD on vaccines. This poor soul has been on the euth list twice, but will no longer have to worry about that fate again.
Barley has a hilarious personality. He is 100% Akita mentally and seeks to protect his home. He LOVES being outside and playing with toys (which he will only take out one at a time) and can be stubborn when it is time for him to come back inside. Barley MUST have a secure yard, as he is an escape opportunist who turns into Forest Gump once he finds a week point. This boy loves to run.
Barley is unpredictable with strangers and will need training or crating when someone comes over to the house. On walks, he should be kept tight-leashed to avoid any temptations. He does well with submissive female dogs, but NO cats or small creatures for this guy. He also should not go to a home with small children. Barley is deeply soulful and like to connect with one person, and that person is his focus. He loves being with his person, but does ok when crated.
Barley is fostered in Sacramento, transport up and down I-5 can be arranged! Apply today!

Bella is a loving and well-adjusted female pit bull who was reported to have jumped out of her apartment window to save her own life. She is thought to be about 7 years old but after spending time with her it seems she could be a few years younger. She is healthy and playful with very thorough training. Bella is FULLY potty trained and crate trained. She follows commands when told to “Kennel Up” for her mealtime and when the owner leaves the home. She follows commands very easily and is always eager to please her Alpha. She sits on command and loves to go on walks or runs daily.
Bella is currently being fostered in a home with a 7 lb. one year old puppy whom she plays very well with. She is playful but gentle and patient. She is also living with two potbelly pigs who are very bossy. Bella yields to the pigs when they approach her and even when they sometimes show assertion. She has shown no aggression towards anyone or any pet in the house and absolutely no food aggression. One of the pigs stole her breakfast and she did not try to fight for it, instead, yielded to the pig.
Bella has been sleeping in the bed with the foster mom and is quite the snuggle bug but would be fine sleeping in her own space if necessary. It is preferred that she go to a home that has access to a yard for a good portion of the day and to someone who will walk her at least daily or even go on runs with her. She thinks she is a lap dog and will crawl in your lap any time you sit down. This sweet soul is nothing but love and cuddles and is looking for a someone that needs a loyal companion. She will be your absolute best friend if given the chance.

Blacky was kennelled at San Bernardino with Sky and ran out of time due to length of stay! We pulled him just in time. Even though his family abandoned him, we did not and we are so glad. He is a love bug and wants affection and love. He is kid friendly and cat friendly too! He’s sweet, he wants attention and love!
Around 2 years old. Vaccinated microchipped and neutered.
Claire is a sweetheart with a heart of gold! This poor girl was stuck in the shelter THREE TIMES before we saved her off the euthanasia list. We have no idea how such a loving, funny, young pup could not be claimed by her former adopters, but we are more than happy to give her her second chance at a loving and comfortable life.
Claire has energy for days! She outplays all of the other dogs at her foster's house and only needs a little bit of down time before she is ready to play chase and wrestle again. Once she's gotten her zoomies out, this girl has shown that she is very eager to learn, mastering "sit" and "kennel" in one afternoon. Claire's ideal home will have a playful canine buddy for her to run around with. She loves meeting new people, but needs gentle reminders that not everyone wants a Claire hug the second she sees them. With some training and time to adapt to life in a house, this girl will be the ultimate family dog - ready for adventures, happy to play, and also ready to cuddle whenever needed.
Claire is 10 months old, is spayed, and is UTD on vaccines. She is currently underweight, but will likely be about 65 lbs with a proper diet. She has not been tested with cats, but she did accidentally pick up the resident tortoise because she was unsure of what to do. She easily redirected and put him down gently.

Daisy is a 8-9 month old, female, Belgian Lab mix. She is SWEET, energetic and GREAT with kids. She loves outdoor time, is a cuddler and non stop kisser. I have done some light training and she will respond to commands such as “sit, stay, lay down”. She is not fully house trained but working towards that. This dog has a VERY LOVING SOUL. She loves being around people, as well as other dogs. She does need a lot of companionship at the moment as she does seem to have some separation issues but training could alleviate that immediately.

Meet Puppy Ellias! He is around 6 months old and a lab/malinois mix. Full of energy and will make a great dog to a confident handler. Transport anywhere in southern CA.

8 month old pit bull mix rescued on his euthanasia day at Apple Valley Shelter. He's doing very well in foster care. Has a ton of energy and would do great in a home as a single pet or with another pet that has playful energy as well. He's great around children and loves to cuddle. He also loves toys especially shoes! LOL

Hannah is very sweet and loving, she is shy at first but then relaxes quickly. She is playful and will make a great companion for anyone! She is crate trained, house trained.

Meet Hunter, an 8–12 month old German Shepherd mix with a sweet, loyal personality and a big heart. He’s a happy, affectionate boy who loves human connection and quickly bonds once he feels comfortable. Hunter enjoys pets, rubs, and staying close to his people, and he has a gentle, observant nature for such a young dog. Hunter is smart, eager to please, and responds well to positive reinforcement. He’s been doing great with basic training and short leash walks, especially once he’s warmed up and feeling confident. With a little patience and consistency, he continues to show how quickly he learns and how much potential he has. With love, structure, and companionship, Hunter will grow into a devoted, loyal lifelong companion and an incredible addition to the right home.

Meet Jamie! This sweet young girl is a gorgeous Bull Terrier/Australian Cattle Dog mix rescued just in time from euthanasia, and now she's ready for a loving forever home. She’s a gentle lovebug who adores belly rubs, ear scratches, and cozy snuggles. Wonderful with both dogs and kids, she’s the ideal companion for any family. Already spayed, she enjoys leisurely walks and playtime but truly loves lounging and relaxing by your side. If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate companion to share life’s quiet moments, come meet this special girl—she's waiting to steal your heart! Meet Jamie today in Southern, CA!

Kimbo is a one year old mixed breed who was rescued from the euthanasia list at a high-kill shelter. He tends to prefer female humans, but is also tolerant around males. He is also great with other dogs, preferably his size or smaller! No cats or kids at this time. Kimbo would love a forever home soon and is currently located in Los Angeles, CA.

Meet Lavender! Saved just in time from a very high kill shelter where she got pregnant inside the shelter and was on their euthanasia list full term pregnant! She just gave birth to 4 puppies and she will be spayed after two months of nursing and available for adoption. Please reach out if you are interested. She is very sweet loving dog. Friendly with everyone and other animals.

Mama Marbella was found wandering the roadside in Victorville, CA—heavily pregnant, alone, and vulnerable in the desert where nighttime temperatures drop below 40 degrees. By divine timing, she was just 15 minutes from one of our fosters who took her in temporarily, saving her from giving birth outside in the cold with no shelter or safety for her babies. She gave birth to TEN pups and did so with lots of courage. She is sweet and cuddly and dog friendly.

If you love herding dogs and are looking for a velcro dog, Molly is your girl! This sweetheart is absolutely dedicated to her human. Molly will attempt to hug you every second of every minute she is with you. Trying to pick something up off the floor? Nope, you're getting smothered in kisses. Want to go to the bathroom by yourself? Uh un, no you may not shut that door without this sleek little shadow zipping in faster than lightning.
Molly was brought to the shelter as a stray, and her coat and behaviors show she was out on a grand adventure for a bit. Now that she is clean and groomed, this black beauty is a cuddle bug who easily redirects from inspecting the trash. Molly needs slow introductions to other dogs and does well with submissive dogs. She does very well with redirection and distraction when she starts to get antsy around other dogs. Really, these behaviors are insecurity of her environment, but she has learned to adapt to pack life quite easily. Her herding instincts are very strong and she loves to play with the herding ball and direct the other dogs in games of chase. Molly has not been tested with cats, but she would likely chase them. She is a little nervous when loose in the car, but rides very well in her kennel. She likes to bark at grey trucks in particular.
Molly is approximately 2 years old, is spayed, and is UTD on her vaccinations. She will need an active family who can give her the exercise and mental stimulation this girl needs to thrive!

Nebbie is looking for a forever couch to call her own! This toasted potato enjoys spending time with her person. She is affectionate, loyal, and incredibly smart. She was scared up from being bitten by another dog when we saved her from San Bernardino high kill shelter. She needed medical attention for her wounds and ear infections. She is doing well now and lives with another dog at her foster moms.

Qiqi is looking for a home where he will get lots of walks, good food, and lots of love. He is getting along with his foster brother and sisters, but he was introduced slowly. At about 3 years old and 85lbs, he looks forward to a home that can give him attention and exercise. Like all German Shepherd dogs, he prefers to be with his owner all the time and if he is left alone for a short while, he will be super excited to see you again. Qiqi knows a couple commands such as sit, paw, and lay and looks forward to his chicken treats that he loves. Playing ball with Qiqi is still a work in progress, because he goes after the ball without a problem. He loves playing in his kiddie pool when it is shower time and enjoys playing with the water. He was left at a shelter by his family and rescued by us. He has begun to trust humans again and is such a loving companion!

Mama Ginny's pup.
Raul is the last of his litter to go, but is just as desirable as the rest of them are! He is fun loving and is thriving in his foster home. Approx 4 months old. Currently in Sacramento CA

Meet Ruppy, he is sweet loving and shy. He was just saved from a high kill shelter by our rescue, he is currently in foster care and doing well. He is vaccinated and will be neutered soon. Please reach out for a meet and greet if you'd like to meet this true survivor.

Cute Wheaties is medium to high energy, around 3 years and 75 lbs. He is playful and likes to play catch and run. He is friendly with other dogs and could play for hours...people friendly and wants affection. A good goofy boy!
