Story
This sweet girl was rescued from a high-kill shelter. Sabrina is a super-sweet girl who loves naps, cuddles, and long walks. She gets along well with mellow, polite dogs. Sabrina would do best in a loving, patient home that would show her that humans can be trusted (and a good source of pets/treats!)

Story
This sweet lady was brought into the South LA shelter on 7/11/23 and spent each day huddled in the back of her kennel run shaking and well....just miserable. And then one volunteer decided not to give up on her....and she coaxed Uki out of her corner and into the play yard. And it was the day our founder happened to be watching the dogs in the yard and she just knew Uki had to come into the Squad. Uki has come out of her shell and is just a kind, sweet, smart dog. She walks nicely on leash and is quick to learn commands. She loves people and snuggles up quickly - so yea, she's a little needy but it's super endearing. Uki obviously has had a few litters poor thing. But never again! If you are looking for a low key, loving dog....look no further. Just go to the link below and start your new life with an awesome dog. https://dawgsquad.org/adoption-application/

Story
Hankie ended up in an overcrowded shelter after getting attacked by another dog, and he needed medical intervention right away. We stepped in, and he is all fixed up and healthy now! Hankie is very friendly when meeting human strangers and loves saying hi to everyone on walks. Given his recent previous interaction with other dogs, he is understandably cautious and alert when he sees other pups. However, he can be easily redirected by his foster and is pretty good about resuming with his walk and following his foster's lead.   Hankie is an affectionate, goofy big boy. He walks well on leash and is both house-trained and crate-trained. He knows that his crate is his safe space and usually scratches on the front door when he needs to use the bathroom. He also knows "sit" and "stay."   Hankie loves being outside in the sun and going for long walks, chewing on bully sticks, and enjoying nightly cuddles with his foster parents. He is curious about everything and gets easily intrigued with daily activities such as cooking, folding clothes, etc. He loves attention and is a sucker for belly scratches! We are excited to find Hankie his forever home with an XL breed experienced owner.

Story
Hi I'm Buccaneer! So nice to meet you! I'm an INCREDIBLE young *11 months old Mastiff mix (best guess). I weigh around 80 lbs. GREAT with all dogs. Playful, gorgeous leash skills, crate trained. I can be shy meeting new people. A home with young, wild kids might prove to be too much for me but calm kids I would appreciate. I am a prize! Can't wait to meet you! *please note All of our dogs are in private foster homes. Once you fill out an application it will be screened by our volunteer adoption team. From there, if your application looks like a good fit for the particular dog, it will be sent to the foster where you can ask all the questions you would like and schedule a meet and greet. We do not transport our dogs. If you apply from out of state we do request you come to Los Angeles to meet us and fly home in cabin or drive. www.apurposefulrescue.org
