Kermit was a great pug mix that was abandoned at Animal Friends of the Valley in Wildomar. We rescued him and he was adopted quite quickly by a local Temecula family.

Video of Poppy at the shelter. They were both so adorable that we went to pull them. We didn’t have any local fosters so we sent […]

Mars was one of our first rescues from Baldwin Park. This doxie/pug puppy had been at the shelter for two months. He didn’t get along with many dogs so he was labeled as needed to be adopted as only dog. This hurt his chances for rescue. We asked several rescues to take him but they […]

Adorable Mandrake had no interest. He was on the Baldwin Park Shelter, and this cute puggle/dachshunds mix stole our heart. Shawna saved him with Zoey and Galahad, both of whom were adopted almost immediately. We were baffled why this cute guy didn’t get any interest. One lady applied and backed out when we couldn’t guarantee […]

Holly was one of our most heartbreaking rescues. We first saw her picture on the OC shelter website. I immediately placed a hold on her. We arranged to have her pulled. But there was a mixup at the shelter and they confused her with an unaltered pug. So they shelter held her for a week […]

She went there to pull a few other dogs but one was adopted while she was in the lobby so Ric Brownde recommended she take these two. Galahad was a chihuahua puppy. He was found in La Puente. He was adopted to Shawna’s friend. […]
