Wembley was rescued from a high-kill rural shelter where he was left by his previous Owners when they relocated and made no provisions to take him along. Wembley is 6 years old, neutered and is some type of Yorkie (Yorkshire Terrier) X Poodle blend. He has hair versus fur. He weighs about 7-lbs and has had a full blood panel done which showed he is very healthy. he has also had a dental done. Wembley would be fine as an only dog as he is people orientated versus dog orientated. He is good in the car, crates nicely and walks well on a leash, although he much prefers to be carried. He will be ideal for a professional or mature home. Although we have not cat tested him, we do not feel he will have an issue with the feline persuasion. Wembley has been trained to take care of business outside and is not pad trained.
Julio is a diminutive 5.5-lbs neutered male Chihuahua with super-model long legs who was rescued from a high kill LA County shelter. He is around a year old. This frail little lover is best in an adult only home with no large breed dogs or small children. He is very playful and has a very happy disposition and wants nothing more than to be in your laps, or prancing along side you. He is a medium energy little guy and would be best placed with another small breed dog in the home. Julio has been trained to “take care of business” outside and is not pad trained.
Alberto (Bertie to his pals) is a 3- year old, neutered male Chihuahua who weighs about 7-lbs. He is a submissive male so gets along well with other dogs of a similar size and would be best placed with another dog of a similar size with whom he can play! He is pretty low-key, so we suspect he will have no issue with his feline cousins. Bertie crates and travels well and has impeccable leash manners. Bertie has been trained to “take care of business” outside and is not pad trained. He is easy to train and a fun little Guy who would excel in learning tricks. He so wants to please! Due to his diminutive size no large dogs or small children, please.
Jacque the AKC Papillon was surrendered by his Owners to us as they were relocating and were unable to take him. Jacque is a typical Papillon, aloof to strangers at first until he decides you are not a threat to his Pet Parent. He weighs around 13-lbs, so is larger than breed standards, is active and enjoys (and needs) walking a couple of miles a day. He has very nice house manners, crates and travels very well. An adult household is best for Jacque. We have given him a dental and he is overall very healthy for his 9 years young of age. Papillons are long lived so he is middle aged by human standards. They are a shedding breed and Jacque requires a daily brushing. Jacque is living in a foster home with other small breed dogs, although he would be just as happy being an only dog, as he bonds very closely with his Pet Parent. Jacque’s mortal enemies are cats. He has been trained to “take care of business” outside and is not pad trained. Jaccque is not a Beginner dog – he needs someone experienced specifically with his breed as well as a leash reactive dog .
Romeo is a 5.5-lbs, 18-month old neutered male Brindle Chihuahua. He was abandoned on a busy street, where a Guardian Angel was able to pull him to safety out of the heavy traffic in which he had been left to fend for himself. This little guy has perfect leash manners, travels and crates well and is overall a little lover. He loves to play with his foster fur-brothers, yet is also quite happy to chill and relax in front of the TV. Due to his diminutive size he needs to be in a home with no small children or large breed dogs. Romeo has fondness hear his own voice when he is playing with other dogs, but otherwise is a perfect little Gentleman. Romie is living in a foster home with another small breed dog and a couple of cats, with whom he likes to play with but also respects their space. Romeo needs to have a garden and another doggie companion with whom to play. Romeo has perfect manners and can go anywhere, so if you want a traveling companion Romeo is the guy for you! He has been trained to “take care of business” outside and is not pad trained.
Ryder is a 4 year old neutered male Pomeranian who was surrendered to our rescue due to his Owner’s deteriorating health. He is a larger Pommie, weighing in around 15-lbs but otherwise he is a typical Pom, happy, smart and loves people! Ryder has been living in a home with cats, birds and a larger dog and although he would sometimes chase his feline cousins did well in general. He is not used to being around small children but has lived with older children. Ryder is a foster-to-adopt trial at this time.
Otis is a little 5.5-lbs, 8-month old Rat Terrier blend blend who was abandoned when his previous Owner threw him out of his vehicle with three other small breed dogs on an industrial estate in the Inland Empire. Otis, and his buddy, Onslow, were the only two we could catch as the other two has disappeared by the time we were drawn to their plight. Both were heavily covered in ticks, and were malnourished. He has been neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped. Otis is a little shy and will need someone to help him become more confident and would be best placed with another small breed dog as a companion. He is not pad trained.
Onslow is a little 7-lbs, 4-month old Chi-Weenie puppy who was abandoned when his previous Owner threw him out of his vehicle with three other small breed dogs on an industrial estate in the Inland Empire. Onslow, and his buddy, Otis, were the only two we could catch as the other two has disappeared by the time we were drawn to their plight. Both were heavily covered in ticks, and were malnourished. Onslow is a happy, friendly puppy who is learning about the world in which he lives. He has been neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped. Onslow would be best placed with another small breed dog as a companion as he is very playful. He is not pad trained. We suspect he will mature out to being around 10-lbs.
Niles was rescued from a high kill LA County shelter where he ended up through no fault of his own. Even though he had a microchip and his previous Owners were contacted they never came to collect him. so we took him in to our rescue. He has turned out to be a n absolute delight due to his loving, pleasing nature. Niles is around 2 years old, weights 5.5-lbs and is a neutered male Heavy Orange Sable Pomeranian with perhaps a touch of Yorkie (Yorkshire Terrier). He loves other dogs and wants nothing more to do than play or give lots of cuddles to his Pet Parent. He is best placed in a home with another small breed dog. We suspect he will get along with cats just fine as he is a submissive little boy. Due to his diminutive size no large breed dogs or small children, please. Niles has been prior pad trained but at this time he is going outside to take care of business.
Honey is a 7-lbs, spayed female Chihuahua who was rescued from a high-kill LA City shelter, where she ended up through no fault of her own. Honey is currently living in a foster home with a Toy and two Medium Sized doggie companions, a parrot and budgie. This little girl is very loving and affectionate and would be a great companion for a single person or couple who are retired or semi-retired or a family with older children (due to her size). Honey is in a foster-to-adopt arrangement at this time.
