Adorable Adoptables

FLUFFY (Adopt)

For those of you who want the perfect dog, Fluffy is your girl! She is perfectly house-trained, she doesn't jump, cry, or scratch at the door. She won't chew up your slippers, she's not a barker or a digger, and she has impeccable manners. She likes to sleep with you (but is also content in her crate), and she will ride quietly in the car for hours. She doesn't eat much (she's already stuffed!), she loves to cuddle, and she gets along great with everyone!

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!

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.

Interested In Fostering?

Would you be interested in fostering? Fostering is temporary -- most of our dogs get adopted within a few weeks -- and it is also lifesaving. We cannot bring a dog into rescue unless we have a foster home available. 
 
In a nutshell... the dog would live with you and be treated as a family member, just like you would treat your own dog. You will provide food and whatever he needs on a day-to-day basis (bedding, playtime, walks, etc.). We will pay for vet care (exam, spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchip, de-wormer, flea treatment, etc.) and he would likely have all of that when you get him. If, by chance, the dog gets sick or injured, you take him to our vet for treatment and we will pay the vet. We will provide a collar, leash, and K9BFF ID tag. If you encounter any problems with your foster dog (for example, if he doesn't get along with your resident dog or cat), we will place the dog into another foster home.
 
You will have input as to who adopts him because you will know him better than anyone. The best part of fostering is that if you happen to fall in love with the dog you are fostering, you have first choice to adopt!

If you think you might like to give fostering a try, please complete the Volunteer form and we will be in touch! Thank you!
