DOGS AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

 

LUCY

 

Doberman

Female, 8 years old, 75 pounds

 

Lucy is a white Doberman who was rescued from a shelter upstate. She was used for breeding, crammed inside a crate or tied up outside her entire life. When Lucy first came to us, she was terrified and shell-shocked. She was afraid to walk into a different room, never mind outside. She had to be carried to and from her vet visits. But with time and love, Lucy has blossomed. She gets excited to go for walks, no carrying necessary. While Lucy can be shy and timid in new environments, she is becoming more confident and adventurous with every coming day.

Lucy is sweet, loving, and docile. Lucy loves people. She asks for pets from every person she meets. She is also good with dogs. She is currently in a home with four other dogs, three of whom are also female Dobermans.

 

Lucy has just started to experience what life has to offer. While Lucy has come a long way, she still has a lot of learning to do. Overcoming a lifetime of abuse is no easy feat, but Lucy is soaring. Lucy just needs love, time, and patience. Lucy will make a perfect companion for anyone who is willing to give her the time and patience she so very much deserves. 

 

ZOE

 

Doberman

Female, 6 years old, 65 pounds

Zoe is a petite Dobie who was rescued from a shelter upstate. Zoe came into the shelter covered in ticks and with significant perineal swelling which turned out to be a bilateral perineal hernia. She had surgery to repair the hernias and, we are happy to report, that she has fully recovered. 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, 3 years old, 65 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 the epitome of sweetness, with a personality that radiates love and affection to everyone she meets. This lovable pup has an insatiable desire to spread joy through kisses, showering everyone with her endless affection. To say that she loves people is an understatement. Lily will steal your heart within seconds of meeting her. 

Playful as well as sweet, Lily enjoys the company of other dogs. She loves to run around, play, and roughhouse, but she is equally content to lounge and relax. Lily is incredibly laid-back and easygoing, perfectly happy to snore the afternoon away on the couch.

 

Although Lily is deaf, you would never know it from meeting her. While her condition might initially seem daunting, it truly isn't as significant a hurdle as one might think. Lily is incredibly well-adapted, relying on her other senses to navigate the world around her with confidence and joy. Her resilience and adaptability serve as a testament to her remarkable spirit.

 

Lily’s cheerful nature and unwavering love make her the perfect addition to any family looking for a loyal companion who will fill their lives with endless love and happiness. Embrace the opportunity to welcome Lily into your home and experience the unconditional love and devotion that only she can offer.

 

RANGER

 

Doberman

Male, 4 years old, 100 pounds

 

Ranger is what we lovingly refer to as a “velcro dog.” His favorite place is right by your side, offering constant companionship and unwavering loyalty. This big boy thrives on affection and presence, making him quite the cuddly companion despite his impressive frame. His needs are simple: your time and attention, which he returns tenfold with his boundless love. Because of his deep desire for companionship, Ranger would flourish best in a home where someone is frequently present to share in daily activities and affection.

Socially, Ranger is a dream. He adores people and gets along famously with other dogs. His ideal home would include another larger dog who matches his playful spirit and with whom he can engage in some friendly roughhousing. While Ranger enjoys his exercise, he is not overly hyperactive. Daily walks will satisfy his need for activity without being excessive.

 

Ranger is also a well-trained, obedient dog. He has completed obedience training and responds excellently to commands. While Ranger may have a fondness for leather goods and has been known to indulge in a shoe or two, his mischief is very limited to these minor indiscretions.

 

Ranger is looking for a home where he can be part of daily activities, feel loved, and give love in return. If you have the heart and space for a big, loving protector who will stick by your side, Ranger might just be the dog you’ve been dreaming of.
