Find Your New BFF!

FLUFFY (Adopt)
Obviously Fluffy is not real, but for those of you who want a REAL dog, one that will be your loyal companion and lifelong protector, one that will love you unconditionally until its last breath, we have some wonderful dogs who would love to meet you!
The simple truth is -- no dog is instantly perfect. If you want a dog that will never bark, jump, dig, chew, has perfect manners, and is 100% house-trained on day one, then please adopt Fluffy (or one like her).
A rescued dog can bring a lifetime of love and devotion, but in the beginning some may require a little extra effort on your part. Some of these dogs have been abandoned, abused, starved, hit by cars, or simply neglected by the humans they once trusted. Their worlds have been turned upside down beyond their ability to understand, and most will require some time to adjust. Some may need a refresher course in house-training. And, after being abandoned, some may have separation issues and will need help to feel secure.
It may take two weeks or it may take six months, but these issues can all be overcome with a little love and patience (and we're always here to help in any way we can). You will then have your perfect dog, and a true Best Friend Forever.
If you wish to sponsor Fluffy, your donation will help the real dogs in our care, and is tax deductible. (Donate) Thank you for your support!
Doodle

Doodle thinks every person and every dog was put on this earth for one reason – to be his friend and playmate. The vet said he's about 2 yrs old, but he is still very much a puppy in many ways! He weighs about 14 lbs, and has soft creamy curls with a touch of milk chocolate on his ears, down his back, and on the tip of his tail.
Doodle was abandoned through no fault of his own. No one ever taught him the basics, and he’s been trying to figure out the world the best he can. He is a bright, wiggly, happy dog who wants to learn. He's already learned a lot in his foster home, and he just needs someone patient and kind to continue. He loves treats, loves praise, and loves being part of whatever you’re doing — all great signs for a dog ready to learn new skills.
Doodle is a sweet, high-energy goofball who’s always ready for action. He loves toys, playing with other dogs (but may be too exuberant for seniors or shy dogs), outdoor adventures, indoor zoomies, and any game that involves running or showing off his silly personality. And if you’re into competition, he would excel at agility training.
He’d thrive with an adopter who enjoys activity, understands that training is part of the journey, and can help him channel his enthusiasm into good habits. After the fun is over, he’s all about cuddles and affection, and lots of kisses!
Doodle is a great dog, and a total lovebug who just wants to be someone’s best friend.
Maisey

Maisey is a darling Maltipoo who is about 2 years old and weighs 13 lbs. We got her out of the Riverside shelter where she was taken after being confiscated from a meth house. She's had a rough start in life and sustained a terrible burn on her shoulder that healed but left her with a small hairless patch.
When we got Maisey she was so loving and affectionate and playful. It's amazing to see how resilient dogs can be! After about a week we noticed some unusual behavior in which she would suddenly chase her tail. It would only last a couple of seconds, but we decided to take her to a neurologist. The vet feels it might have been some drug that Maisey was given that caused this strange behavior. When she gets overly stimulated with people in excitement, she'll whip around and chase her tail for about 5 seconds and sometimes she growls when she does. But there's no aggression towards a person, and she's never tried to bite anyone. Maisey was put on medication that has reduced the frequency; and it's now well controlled. THE RESCUE WILL CONTINUE TO PAY FOR MAISEY'S MEDICATION.
Otherwise, she's your typical young pup. She's energetic and very playful. Maisy is very friendly with everyone she meets. She gets along with other dogs but may be a bit too rambunctious for older dogs or shy ones. She loves toys and can be self-entertaining. Maisey has no separation anxiety and often chooses to sleep in another room after spending some time in bed with her foster. Maisey is great on a leash and trots along at a brisk clip. And she's excellent at the groomer. She gets very drooly when in a car, so she's not the dog you want to take on long trips. Maisey would do best in an adult-only home.
