Penny
Hi Everyone-My name is Penny and I am a very cuddlyfemale Jack Russell mix. I weigh about 20 lbs and I am a bundle of love. I am sad because I had puppies, and before I was even done nursing them, my owner took me away form them and dumped me in a parking lot. It was a cold day, and starting to get dark when these nice people found me. They took me home and made me feel better. I still miss my pups, but there are other dogs here that i can play with and some nice kids who let me sleep on their beds. I'd really love a forever home though...these nice people need for me to get adopted so they can continue to help other dogs like me. I don't take up much space and I am a nice girl...won't you make some room in your heart and your home for me? I will be spayed before I go to my new home, and up to date on all my shots too.
To meet Penny, email Jody or
call 818-239-9440.
Jumba
Jumba is a large (about 90 pounds) German Shepherd mix. He is about 5 years old, is housebroken and neutered. He is good with most other dogs (he likes the ladies!), not good with cats and would probably do best in a household with older children. (His size makes him unweildy with small children).
If you have a home and/or yard with enough room for Jumba, please contact Jody by email!
Joe
Joe is about 2-3 years old and about 50 pounds. Joe was rescued from the West Valley shelter in Los Angeles. Joe is a goofy boy...he is great to walk with - so easy on the leash and likes to play /chase a tennis ball. But he will play and then just as easily lay down or hang out on the porch. He is very curious about things - he likes
to "study" them. He is not hyper. He is a bit of a clutz in a very cute way....he sometimes falls chasing his ball.
He is in great health...his coat is a sharpei coat and rarely sheds. He is good with small dogs under 25 pounds and female dogs of any size but it would be best for him not to go to a home with a male dog that is his same size.
He can be shy at first but once he realizes that he is safe, he blossoms. He loves to have his belly rubbed - he will just come up to you and sort of roll down beside you. When I get home from work, he does this "dance" in a circle...very cute. He needs a forever home!
Contact Gina by email at gdj1244@sbcglobal.net to meet or ask about Joe.
Jackson
Jackson is a gorgeous "flowered" shar pei, about 3 years old and 45 pounds. He is 19 inches at the shoulder and strong on a leash.
Jackson does well with people, other dogs, but not cats. He can be shy and fearful of new people moving too quickly, but after the first day visiting he's just fine with everyone.
He is neutered and fully housetrained. Due to his owner's health problems, Jackson needs a new home. Jackson currently resides in Tucson, Arizona.
Contact Katherine by email or by phone at 520-207-3259 to learn more about Jackson.

Junior
Junior is a very interesting dog. His appearance is unique. He looks a little like a Doberman, but he is actually a Lab/Shar-Pei mix. You can see some Shar-Pei wrinkles if you look at his face up close. Junior was abandoned at a kennel where he was being boarded. His owner stopped paying the bill. At first, he was so scared of people he would pee from fear when you approached him, but he has completely turned around and now is very, very affectionate. He will follow you everywhere you go. He loves to snuggle his head into your chest.

Junior is about two years old. He loves to play with other dogs of all sizes. He even plays with a cranky pit bull at the foster home where he is staying. He is thrilled to be out of the kennel, where he lost a lot of weight. He has put the weight back on and is now a very happy dog, and loves his people.
If you would like to meet Junior, contact Rob at Discarded Miracles, 714-906-5942 or bostonlicorice@yahoo.com.
Lady
Lady is a female 3 month old shar pei/hound mix puppy recently rescued from El Centro shelter. She just got an umbilical hernia fixed and is doing great and looking for a home. We estimate she will be about 50 pounds when full grown.
If you are interested in meeting Lady, please contact Sandee by email or at 760-401-3829.
Amber
Amber is a gorgeous purebred Akita (with papers!). She is a victim of the Southern California housing crisis and was recently evicted from her foreclosed home. So now she needs a new home!
She is 9 years young, healthy, up-to-date on vaccinations and will be spayed prior to adoption. She is in good health, is very strong on a leash (we are working on that), LOVES people and is good with kids. She is used to being an only dog, but does seems to get along with other dogs (but probably not cats). She has been an outside dog but I'm sure she'd love air conditioning this summer if you have it! She does well in a crate and in a car and will sit on command and loves to please.
If you'd like to meet Amber, please contact Alexis by email or by phone at 661-947-6714.
Poppy
Poppy is a sweet, bouncy, happy Shar-Pei mix about one year old. She is of medium size but on the smaller side of a medium. She has the most adorable personality as she is super happy and friendly and loves to be in your company! Poppy seems very bright and willing to listen and learn. She is still young and will likely require just a bit of basic training for your home environment. She would love a yard to play in and daily walks too. She is friendly with other dogs as well. Poppy would be a loyal and loving companion for any lucky human(s).
If you'd like to meet Poppy, please contact Sue by email or call 760-436-7664.
Rosa
Rosa is an 11 month old shepherd/shar pei mix. She is spayed and needs a new home (sadly, this will make her third!). She is around 45 pounds and is famous --- she's even been profiled in the OC Register newspaper. (see http://www.ocregister.com/life/home-rosa-play-1943757-abandoned-adoption)
She is well-behaved, house-trained and walks well on a leash. She is still a puppy and loves to play and run. She is very loving and great with children. She likes to play with other dogs and play tug of rope with you. Rosa is up-to-date on all of her vaccinations. Please help give her a permanent home for the holidays so she doesn't have to spend them in a kennel.
