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!
Poppy
Poppy was born in a SoCal shelter on May 2nd; she is now almost 12 weeks old. Her mom, Rosey, has been a wonderful mom to all of her babies; we don't know who the dad is but we suspect he is a small dog like her mom Rosey. Poppy currently weighs 7.3 pounds, and we're estimating she will weigh approximately 15-20 pounds when fully grown.
This 11‑week‑old baby is pure sweetness wrapped in soft fur. She’s gentle, curious, and loves being close to her people. Her favorite things right now are exploring the world, learning new routines, and curling up for cuddles after playtime. She is very sweet with a calm temperament, and she really loves being held on your lap. She would rather be in the house near her human than be outdoors. She runs fast and tends to get into puppy mischief when it comes to plants and leaves, or anything on the ground that is new to sniff. Otherwise, she keeps herself content watching everything and maybe a little chewing of her toys.
She’s still very young, so she’ll thrive with a family ready to guide her through puppy basics — confidence building, potty training, and lots of positive experiences. She’s affectionate, bright, and eager to bond with her forever family. Poppy is a good girl who will grow into a loving and devoted companion.
If you're thinking about adopting a puppy, please keep in mind that puppies get under-foot and can trip seniors or accidentally get stepped on. And, just like a human baby, they need constant supervision. These little girls are still fragile, so inexperienced animal handlers or rough unaware kids could hurt them.
And please make sure you have the time and the ability to be home with her most of the time to train her. Adopting a dog is a lifetime commitment for the life of the dog, and these small dogs can live 15-20 years. We want to place pups in forever homes. Poppy is located in Roseville, CA.
Doodle
This sweet, high‑energy boy is sunshine wrapped in fur. He adores people, loves adventure, and greets every day with a full‑body tail wag. Doodle is the kind of dog who will happily join you on hikes, zoom around the house and yard, and then curl up beside you for snuggle time. Your lap is his favorite spot.
Doodle is about 2 yrs old (but acts like a puppy), and he weighs 12 lbs. He has soft creamy curls with a touch of milk chocolate on his ears, down his back, and on the tip of his tail.
He’s smart, eager to learn, and thrives with structure and activity. Doodle would do best with an active family who enjoys playtime and can help him channel his enthusiasm into fun training and exercise. He’s a total lovebug who just wants to be someone’s best friend.
So, if you want a dog who brings laughter, love, and endless zoomies, Doodle is your guy!
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.
