ADOPTABLE PUPS
Charlie
Charlie is a 4 year old, female Rottweiler from South Los Angeles, CA. We fell in love with this sweet girl after seeing videos of her playing with groups of pups at the shelter. She is dog selective but great with the pups she does get along with and people friendly!
It is clear Charlie had a hard life prior to arriving at South LA shelter. She was very emaciated... incredibly underweight for her size and age: 63lbs. Her ribs and hips are visible but luckily, she was with a wonderful foster who has gotten Charlie to a healthy weight! Additionally, Charlie was a mama... which we can tell from her nipples that show she has at least had a litter or two.
She is the most loving girl who was dealt an awful hand at life but now, is looking for a caring, loving and committed family to show her how wonderful the world can truly be!
Ladybug
Ladybug is a 2 year old, Dogo Argentino. She was given up by her first family because they were moving and did not want to take her with them. The next family that they gave Ladybug to, was having issues with her stomach adjusting to the new enviornment, likely from stress and anxiety of being given up. So, they abandoned her at a trainers house and never came back for her.
Ladybug is sweet, playful with other pups her size, non-reactive on leash, and affectionate with humans. Despite being given up on by humans, she is so willing to trust and be a part of a family! She deserves the same commitment and love that she gives to humans, in return. If you can commit to loving this forever girl, please apply below!
Drako
We saved Drako from euthanasia at Devore animal shelter around five months ago. He is a 1.5 years old Doberman and a total sassy, goofball. He has been in a wonderful foster home for the past 5 months however, due to no fault of their own, the placement no longer worked out. It is unfortunate when situations like this happen, however, in this case, we agree with the foster to have Drako come back and stay at the rescue. Please reach out for more information regarding the return from the foster home.
Drako will be getting all of the training that the other dogs at our rescue receive and will be ready for adoption in about 3 to 5 weeks!! We can’t wait to see this boy come out of his shell and find his forever family.
What we do know about Drako so far:
- He would do best in a home without children
- He does well with female dogs
- He is very food motivated and drivey
- He would thrive with an experienced handler or Doberman experienced family
Heidi
Heidi is a 2-3 year old German Shepherd that was saved from a neglect situation in Las Vegas, NV. She was often forgotten by her "family" in their backyard, to the point that they would forget to feed her and she would have to scavenge through the trash for meals.
Heidi came to us under socialized, malnourished, and unsure of humans and dogs. She went through a board and train program in Utah for four months, learning all of the skills that she needs to be happy and successful in a home!
Heidi is truly a fun dog who will challenge you to step up and be a leader. She craves direction since her life didn’t include any socialization or experiences before coming to us. Heidi is incredibly loyal to the people she trusts and has the sweetest, softest eyes and ears when she looks at someone she loves!
Heidi's ideal home is one without children or other pups and with humans that have experience with German Shepherds. She has come a long way since we rescued her but would thrive best in a home that is calm.
Chopper
Chopper is an 8 year old Mastiff who was relinquished to the shelter because his family could “no longer take care of him." Since being dropped off, he has howled and started longingly at the parking lot… waiting for someone to take him home and away from the crowded chaos of the shelter. So, of course we stepped in and saved him!
Chopper is good with dogs and people. He would love a home where he is able to free roam and spend his golden years spoiled and well cared for. Chopper is a total couch potato and lap dog who also loves to sunbathe in his foster's yard.
Elsa
Elsa is 8 years young and came from a neglect and abuse case in Colorado. She was confiscated from her "family," along with her son, Olaf. Elsa was so afraid when she arrived to our rescue and wouldn't stop shaking in the back of her crate. It took two weeks for her to gain confidence and trust us enough to start exploring the rescue.
The rest is history... since Elsa created a bond with us, she has opened up SO much! She lives for her walks, is obsessed with snuggles and will quite literally follow you anywhere you go. She is wonderful on car rides and loves a good pup cup!
Elsa's ideal family is someone who will continue to dress her up and treat her like the queen she is... lol. But really, she would thrive as an only pup who will spend the rest of her days spoiled, loved and cherished. She is going to make the most loyal and loving companion to a very lucky person/family.
Olaf
Olaf is Elsa's son who is 6 years old, deaf and the perfect mix of sweet and sensitive. Like Elsa, he came from a home of abuse and neglect. Often, getting attacked by his dad, a large male Pittie, without intervention from his owners. He and Elsa were confiscated and saved from their awful home in Colorado.
Olaf is now looking for a family who can understand that he needs special care and training due to being deaf. Olaf, although he looks tough, is equally as sensitive and eager to trust. However, it'll take some time to show this sweet boy that humans are safe and not to be feared.
Olaf has been in a board and train since arriving at the rescue and will remain with his trainer until he is adopted!
Ranger
Ranger, previously Harrison from Downey, is 10 months to a year old and likely a Doberman/Shepherd mix. He currently has an injured front leg, which is likely what landed him on the euthanasia list but is on the mend after being seen by our vet!
Ranger would do best in a moderately active home that can continue supportive care for his front leg, which will likely just need supplements and rest from time to time. Additionally, he is wonderful with people and pups so would do great in a loving family! Because of his young age, we will require that his adoptive family train him in order to set him up for success!
Korra
Korra is one of the friendliest, easiest, family pups I have ever met! All she wants is to be around her humans and enjoying their love and company. She is 7 years old now and has been rehired twice in her life... neither time was her own fault.
She was given to the shelter by her owner at two years old because he was leaving the country for his new military job. She was then adopted from the shelter by a family who kept her for five years until they decided they no longer wanted a dog and wanted more freedom to travel and work. Korra is left without a home now in her golden years, despite being the perfect family dog in both of these situations.
Korra does great with strangers, children, and all people. She would prefer to be an only dog in the home. She loves car rides, walks, and hanging out in the sun, outside! We cannot wait to find Korra a family that will love her as much as she loves them.
Zero
Zero is a 4 year male Rottweiler from Riverside shelter. He was found tied to a stop sign in California. The day that we went to save him, the shelter had already labeled him as"euthanized," because he was next to be killed.
Zero came to us afraid, reactive and weary. He has made tremendous progress in the time we have had him! He is not an “easy” dog but the work that you will put into him is so worth it. His ideal family is someone who is patient, will listen to our instruction on bringing him home, and will enjoy and have fun training him! Zero, like many Rottweilers, loves praise and pleasing his humans so as long as the training is a mode of bonding and not punishment oriented, he will love it and love you!
As with most Rottweilers, Zero needs a strong leader to respect his boundaries while also implementing a balance of structure and love. Z would thrive in a home that can continue the training that we have started and has experience with the breed!
Mocha
Mocha is a 2 year old retired mama who had a litter of puppies and was found in Stanislaus County, CA tied to a bench with her baby girl, Roxy. Roxy was adopted but Mocha is still looking for her forever family. Mocha is 40lbs, amazing with children, people and most dogs. She craves a family to love her and dote on her.
Mocha has high drive and loves playing fetch and learning new tricks. One of her favorite activities is going for car rides! She is the perfect errand buddy. Mocha is excellent at walking on leash and is currently on her way to being an off leash pup! She is trained to use a treadmill as well. Mocha needs a family to love her and take her on adventures, she deserves it after the hard life she's been through!
