DOGS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
ZOE
Doberman
Female, 7 years old, 65 pounds
Zoe was rescued from a shelter upstate. She came into the shelter covered in ticks and with significant perineal swelling, which turned out to be a bilateral perineal hernia. She underwent surgery to repair the hernias and, while we were happy to report that the surgery was initially a success, her hernia did relapse. At this time, Zoe has not undergone another surgery to fix it, as it would require the implantation of mesh, which comes with potential complications. Since her condition is not severe, we are waiting it out.
You can tell that this girl has been through a lot. Despite everything, Zoe has the sweetest disposition. She loves people and loves pets, as in getting pets! She is also dog friendly! She wants to play with every dog she sees.
While Zoe is playful, she is not rambunctious. She has a very calm disposition aka a couch potato. Zoe just wants to hang out on with you on the couch with her head near or on you. In addition to her even-keeled temperament, Zoe is extremely smart. Zoe will make the perfect companion for almost any home, as long as it doesn't have cats - she is not a fan.
BIRDIE
English Bulldog
Female, 8 years old, 55 pounds
Birdie's owner brought her to the vet to be euthanized because, well, he just did not want her anymore. He did not say that but he did not have to. Fortunately, one of our founders was in the right place at the right time and sprung into action.
Birdie is the epitome of sweetness wrapped in an English Bulldog's adorable package. Birdie's heart melts for belly rubs, and she thrives on affection. While she may have a relatively low energy level, Birdie still enjoys playtime, especially when it involves chasing after her beloved balls and toys. Birdie is a social butterfly and gets along famously with dogs of all shapes and sizes, making her the perfect companion for both humans and furry friends alike. Birdie's ideal day consists of leisurely strolls, plenty of cuddles, and some gentle playtime to round it all off. If you're searching for a loyal companion who will happily join you in both relaxation and adventure, look no further than Birdie – she's ready to fill your life with love and laughter.
This girl has been tossed around her entire life. She deserves to have a loving, stable, and forever home.
LILY
American Pitbull - American Bully Mix
Female, 5 years old, 55 pounds
Lily had belonged to a homeless woman. Lily was in labor for some time but was not producing the litter. The homeless woman realized that something was wrong and took her to a low-cost vet clinic. The vet clinic did not have any medical staff on duty at the time so they called animal control. By the time animal control arrived, Lily had birthed three puppies, two of them deceased. One other puppy was birthed in transport to an urgent care facility but did not make it. Only one of the puppies survived - Marvel. Lily and Marvel were surrendered to Long Beach Animal Services. They were initially picked up by another rescue, but the rescue did not have the means and resources to care for Lily and Marvel so we stepped in to help.
Lily is a calm, affectionate five-year old dog with a sweet and easygoing personality. She loves people and makes fast friends with everyone she meets. Her favorite way to show affection is through kisses, and lots of them.
At five, Lily is the perfect balance. She’s past the chaos of puppyhood, but still playful, curious, and full of life. She enjoys walks, exploring, and goofy bursts of zoomies, but she’s equally content to snuggle up beside you for a long nap. Lily is social with other dogs but can be dog selective. She enjoys playful interactions with many dogs, but certain personalities aren’t always her match. Since the behavior does not show up with most dog, we do not believe Lily needs to be the only dog in the home, but dog companions should be considered on a case-by-case basis to ensure the right fit.
Lily will do best with an adopter who understands the breed and is willing to continue reinforcing her training with structure, patience, and leadership. At her core, Lily is pure love. She is loyal and endlessly affectionate. She doesn’t just want a home, she wants her people, the ones she can adore every single day.
