Adoptable Dogs

“Chloe”

4 months-old, male, 25 lbs, Pitbull Terrier

dog, cat & kid friendly, vaccinated, crate & potty trained

At just 4 months old, Chloe was found tied to a post outside a school — scared, alone, and waiting for someone to notice her. Thankfully, a kind stranger stepped in and brought her to safety, and now she’s thriving in her foster home.

Chloe is an absolute angel of a puppy. She’s about 23 lbs, sweet, smart, and gentle. She loves people and other dogs, and while she can be a tiny bit shy at first, she warms up quickly and shows her playful, loving personality.

She’s doing amazing in her crate (completely silent!), walks beautifully on leash, and is learning potty training quickly. She’s great with cats, dogs, and even tags along to work with her foster mom, where she’s perfectly behaved. Chloe loves to play but also knows how to relax and nap — she truly has a dream temperament for a puppy.

You may notice the red in her eyes — that’s called cherry eye, and we’re already taking care of it! Once her vaccines are complete, she’ll have surgery to repair both eyes. Most dogs recover fully and never have issues again.

Her future family should be ready for all the normal puppy fun — continuing her basic training, keeping her socialized, and giving her plenty of exercise and love.

Chloe’s been through so much already, but she’s still full of trust, joy, and sweetness. Whoever adopts her is going to get one very special girl.

“Shirley”

10 years-old, male, 10 lbs, Havanese Mix

dog friendly, spayed, vaccinated

It’s hard to imagine how this tiny 10-lb senior girl survived on her own. Shirley was found wandering in the middle of the street in Long Beach — coughing, limping, and covered in painful mats and sores. She could barely see, yet somehow kept moving, hoping someone would notice her.

Someone finally did.

Now, Shirley is safe and loved — and slowly healing. She’s quiet, gentle, and endlessly sweet… the kind of dog who just wants to curl up beside you and nap in the sunshine. She loves her little playpen, her stroller rides, and basking outside with the breeze on her face. She’s easy to walk, friendly with other dogs, and so grateful for every bit of comfort she’s given.

It’s heartbreaking that she was left to fend for herself, but her spirit is pure gold — calm, forgiving, and full of love.

Medical & Care Information:

We’re always transparent about our seniors’ needs so adopters know exactly what to expect. Here’s what we’ve learned from the vet:

– She’s approximately 10 years old

– Enlargement in her left atrium (heart)

– Arthritis in her back, with some vertebrae starting to fuse together (the cause of her limp)

– Developing cataracts, but she can still see and gets around fine

– Dental disease, which has slightly affected her bloodwork

– Shirley is currently on antibiotics for her cough, which is improving every day.

Once she’s fully recovered, she’ll be:

– Fully vaccinated

– Given dental care (she’ll likely need several teeth extracted)

– Started on pain medication for her arthritis

Her future adopter will be responsible for continuing her pain medication (and any ongoing treatment for her back). This medication may require bloodwork every six months to monitor her health. Cataract surgery could be considered later, though she’s comfortable and can still see well enough to enjoy life as is.

Shirley is a gentle, sun-loving soul who deserves a quiet home, soft blankets, and people who will cherish her for the rest of her days.

If you’re looking for a senior companion with a heart of gold — one who asks for almost nothing but gives endless love — Shirley is waiting for you.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions about her care or adoption.

“Barry”

4 months-old, male, 8 lbs, Dachshund Mix

kid friendly, dog friendly, vaccinated

Barry was rescued from an abandoned property in the desert, where over 20 small dogs were found fending for themselves. Most were chihuahua mixes — and with his long body and short little legs, we think Barry might have a bit of dachshund in him too!

He’s about 4 months old and weighs around 10 lbs. When we first met Barry, he was very fearful — it’s likely he hadn’t had much human interaction before. But this brave little guy has come such a long way. With the help of his foster family and their dogs, he’s learning that people can be kind and life can be fun!

Barry is sweet, gentle, and loves being around other dogs who help boost his confidence. He’s currently working on crate and potty training, and doing great for his age.

He’s in the process of becoming fully vaccinated. He is healthy & not neutered yet.

His forever family should be ready for all the joys (and responsibilities!) of puppy life — continuing his training, helping him grow more confident on leash, giving him plenty of playtime, and most of all, lots of love.

He’s absolutely adorable and has the sweetest heart.

“Apollo”

5 years-old, male, 50 lbs, English Bulldog Mix

dog friendly, potty & crate trained, vaccinated

Apollo has been through a lot, but you’d never know it by the way he wags his tail when he sees you.

We rescued this sweet, smushy-faced boy from the streets of Downtown LA, where he’d been passed between several unhoused individuals. We know of at least three different people who cared for him as best they could, but street life took a toll. When we found him, Apollo was overheating, struggling to breathe, limping, and suffering from extreme allergies.

Since coming into our care, Apollo has begun the beautiful process of decompressing—and wow, has he shown us what a loving and gentle soul he is. He adores his crate (his safe space), loves being pet, and will happily wag his little tail to say hello. While he’s not super active, Apollo absolutely lights up around other dogs and thrives in their company.

He’s around 5 years old and weighs in at a compact, muscular 50 pounds—a true “dense boy” with a small frame and a big heart. His limp (from a back knee issue) has improved with rest and anti-inflammatories, and we’ll continue monitoring it. He’ll be neutered next week.

Apollo especially loves men (all of his previous caretakers were male), but he’s open to anyone with a kind heart and a gentle touch. He’s still in the healing process, but he’s already made huge strides—and we know he’ll make someone or some family very, very happy.
