Honey Dew My beautiful baby passed away on 1/13/2022 in my arms. I am beyond devastated and will never forget what a loving, smart and amazing puppy she was. I LOVE YOU DEW BABY, YOU MAY NOT HAVE BEEN OFFICIALLY ADOPTED BUT YOU WERE ALWAYS MINE. 🌈 🐶 🌈 1 1/2 years old German Shepherd Mix Puppy Born 2/9/2020
Megaesophagus is a food regurgitation condition involving an enlarged esophagus in dogs. Dogs that have Mega esophagus have a hard time swallowing, meaning that water and food can’t correctly travel to the tummy.
Dogs with MegaE must be fed upright (like a baby) and kept upright for 30 minutes to allow food to enter the stomach, dogs with this condition live long and happy lives.
Honey Dew, loves attention and gets a lot of it because she is so loving and adorable. She loves other dogs, very friendly with new people she meets, does ok in the car, gets along with her foster sibling which is a cat.
Honey Dew would do best with someone who works from home and can feed her upright 4-5 times a day for 45 minutes. She eats her kibble mixed with wet puppy food and bone broth, rolled into meatballs and fed upright as well as Knox Blox (gelatin mixed with bone broth or pedialyte for hydration) water can be dangerous for mega esophagus dogs.
I do not know if she will grow out of this, many people keep asking but I cannot predict and her condition is inoperable by diagnosis of 2 vets.
She is an amazing dog and worth the extra care, 10000%!
Buttercup/Pumpkin Butt/Dru 13 years old Staffordshire Bull Terrier Loves Everyone 🌈 🐶 🌈 Pumpkin Butt, rescued from Moreno Valley Shelter at 13 years old! Her owner brought her there to be euthanized but the shelter refused to do so and reached out to rescues to help her. She was brought there in bad condition, masses, ear infections and later we would realize she suffered from seizures that wore her down. We did everything we could to make her life better and for a short period of time she was loving life with her foster sister and foster mom. She was loved, spoiled and deserved every minute of it and more. Pumpkin passed away peacefully and although her time was very short with us, she left quite the impression on all of our hearts. YOUR LIFE MATTERED.
Gypsie Adopted by Founder 17 months old Bombay Older kids/Mellow Dogs
Gypsie is a beautiful and sweet, Siamese mix cat. She gets long with all of my dogs and is very neat and clean. She loves to lay close to me and will lay on me to bond. She has made such a beautiful transformation in the amount of time she has been with me. She uses her litter box that I keep in a small crate for her privacy (and to keep my doggos out of it) Gypsie is on the smaller side weighing about 9 pounds. She has her shots and is completely healthy. She is not allowed outdoors and I take great precaution to make sure she doesn't sneak out. I require the same from a forever home for her safety. Gypsie is spayed, micro chipped and up to date on shots.
Mabel 🌈 🐶 🌈 December 5, 2020 NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT I DON'T MISS YOU My forever foster girl American Staffordshire Terrier 12 years old
This girl is a little unicorn in so many ways! To have lived the life she did and come out this amazing is a miracle. Yes she has some health issues but her attitude, her tolerance and her ability to give and show love is beautiful. Her lovely foster mom is sure that Mabel will be best in a home with other dogs because as you can see she has taken to her little foster sibling and cries when he or they’re not around her (there are 3 littles in the home and she’s smitten) she shares her dog bowls, her bed and her toys generously and lovingly. She’s doing great with house training and we’re still working in her picky appetite. Next up is seeing what can be done for that elbow to let her run and be the galloping unicorn she was born to be!
Harlow Bull Terrier/Staffordshire Bull Terrier 4 Years Old Older Kids Only/Only Dog Home Found her home from day 1 with foster mom
Harlow is 4 years old and spent 18 months of it in the shelter. She is AMAZING!! She's been in her foster home for 9 months now and enjoys her pack walks, hikes and is a very good listener. We don't know much about these rescue dog's past lives but we know we can change their future. Harlow actively works with a behaviorist to ensure a healthy well balanced being in every way. The ultimate home for her would have no small kids, patient but strong and calm role models, and her be the only fur baby in the home. Harlow loves to go in the car for rides, she tolerates water, loves to play with her toys and mostly, she loves being with her person, whether it's watching her favorite tv shows or sleeping next to you, she's happy either way. Harlow is healthy, chipped, spayed, house trained and crate trained.

Gidget is a 1-2 year old, Skye Terrier Mix, with gorgeous crystal blue eyes and a longer coat. She is a feisty, fun and loving babe. She is learning potty training and crate training since being in our rescue (about two weeks now) and is doing very well. She is cautious with new people and likes to get to know people via smell and on her terms and then she's all kisses! I would not recommend her in a home with small children (yet or at all) due to her cautious behavior). She is an indoor dog and so still has the scavenger mentality of a stray that we are working on when she gets used to the stability and routine of a loving home. She is going to make someone very happy as she makes me smile every day!

She was neglected, used and dumped but that story is one of the past and now she's living the happy ending she was meant to live. With love. Ella is a beautiful brindle coated baby girl.

🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊
Oliver/Zero Adopted, October 2016 Oliver came to me as a 9 month old puppy. He hadn't had a perfect life and needed a lot of work on social skills, dog to dog behavior and trusting humans. He was let down by humans prior to coming to Rebel Dogs Rescue causing some issues that were not his fault but needed correction and practice. I saw nothing but love from Oliver and the eagerness to please me and love everyone he met and felt safe with. He has learned how to relax, to trust people and to be a happy puppy. It's taken months to get him where he is today and everyday will be practice on his part and his human's part but now I know he will always be safe and loved. Oliver deserved everything it took to get him to this happy place today. I look forward to hearing of his progress for years to come.

He is house trained and loves to cuddle.
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Baby Adopted September 2016 Baby was six years old when her owner contacted me asking for help rehoming her. I couldn't say no to a responsible owner doing right by her dog. I reached out to one of my approved adopters, Jivas. He met with Baby and made the commitment to give her a forever home filled with love and loyalty! It wasn't easy for Baby at her age to make the transition but Jivas was patient and also worked with a trainer to get Baby adjusted and over her separation anxiety. Over a year later and the two are doing amazing and are happier than ever as you can see with the adorable pics of these two.

I think she is one happy little girl and she deserves it after spending her former life making puppies for profit only to be dumped in the shelter when they no longer wanted her. Good girls win!
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Hudson Adopted August 2016 Adopted by a lovely couple from Arizona who saw his photo and listing and drove out with their dog Angus. It didn't take long for them to commit to him after seeing Angus and Hudson become brothers right before our eyes. We are so beyond happy for all of them. Hudson is an 8 year old puppy! He is so sweet and so friendly. He loves everyone and greets everyone with a tail wag and a smile. He is a Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie and who knows but it works for us!

🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Bella Adopted May 2016 Bella, the dog who's owner tried to have her put down twice because he didn't want to walk her or crate her to keep her apart and safe from his other two dogs, who would instigate fights with each other and then redirect on to poor Bella, she was adopted tonight!! Her foster family who has a King Cavalier named Dude, never complained when she tore apart their fence or door molding when left alone, or when she scuffed her face up to escape the crate to be with them, they simply understood she needed love and patience and gave it to her bc she suffers from really bad separation anxiety! Now with them she will never have to worry about being attacked, treated poorly or neglected again! This makes me so happy for this dog! I've lost amazing fosters but she's gained a beautiful family.

🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Addi Adopted 4-17-16 Ivy now named Addi! (Bella in OCAS) and was rescued just in time to save her life! The shelter wasn't going to make her available for adoption so she needed a rescue to step up for her. Thinking back through potential adopters, we reached out and found her a foster that took her in and helped us give this little angel a second chance. Fast forward a week and a half and she's been adopted by an awesome couple who saw her on our Facebook page and had to make her their baby. Congrats to all of you.
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Loki Adopted March 21, 2016 Loki was adopted by Melissa who gave her heart to him pretty much the minute she laid her eyes on him. We are so happy that these two were able to find each other and make miracles happen. So many good dogs are over looked in rescue so it is always a miracle when one is adopted! Loki came to us after his family lost their home and could no longer give him what he needs. He is very very loving, fun and cuddly. He loves other dogs especially lithe ones. He gets along with everyone that meets him and is great with kids!! Loki is 3 years old, house trained, well behaved and very smart. Neutered, up to date on shots and healthy. Seriously a beautiful brindle boy looking for a family to love him and never give him up.
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Drax/Cooper Adopted February 2016 Drax now named Cooper, was adopted by a lovely couple who saw him on our website and fell in love with him! They waited for us to coordinate a home check with a local rescue in their area to be approved and then made the long drive from San Jose to meet this boy after a home check was done by their local rescue as a courtesy to us, it was a match made in heaven for him and their dog Bailey who had just lost her brother and needed a companion to cheer her up and restore her happiness. Drax was rescued in December when a couple came across him at the Riverside Shelter. He had been staying in the San Jacinto shelter prior to being moved to Riverside and then ultimately was running out of time to be adopted and found himself in trouble. Josh and Raven came to us and asked us to help us save Drax (then named Gavin) and of course, we had to help.

Pax is 4 years old and has been through his share of abandonment for his short lifetime. I saw his little face at the shelter and knew he was a Rebel Dog. Pax is amazing. He is trained, well behaved and so easy to love.
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Bruiser/Bruce Adopted 9-20-15 Bruce has hit the rescued dog lottery with his two legged pets aka parents! Amelia and Ryan found Bruiser on our website after he had been dumped in the shelter for the third time. To say the third time was the charm is spot on in this situation.

🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Lacey/Brooklyn Rose Adopted 6-22-15 to the perfect home for her. It was basically love at first sight for Doug and his two boys, Lacey resembled their dog that passed and in honor of her and their time together, they adopted a rescue who needed them as much as they needed her. So happy for this girl who once was a neglected and abused puppy.
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Savvy 🌈 🐶 🌈 Rest in Paradise sweet girl Adopted 5-27-15 This little chestnut coated beauty and her foster dad just couldn't imagine a life without each other and honestly we were wondering what took so long for both of them to realize they were meant for each other, "who rescued who" is the perfect phrase for these two amazing souls!! t 2 year old Staffordshire Terrier girl.

She listens very well and is eager to please. She lives a fairly active lifestyle, loves bike rides, car rides and the beach. She is house trained and knows basic commands.

Our super lovable boy was adopted by someone who just instantly "clicked" with him and can give Bobby the home he needs with the right balance of attention, affection and proper guidance and training. We are so beyond the moon over this adoption! A 6-7 year old Staffordshire Terrier with a heart as big as his head. He is so handsome and loving despite his past of being left alone in a backyard with little human touch or interaction. We love this boy and know you will too if you were to meet him and know all he's overcome to be the gentle lovable dog he is today. Resilient and remarkable are two words to describe Bobby.

Jax lost his battle with lymphoma in 2021, he fought hard and we will never forget you! 🌈 🐶 🌈

🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Alfie Adopted-3-6-15 Alfie was adopted after Stephanie saw his photo and pretty much fell in love at first sight.I get to see their happy updates on my instagram feed every day and nothing makes me happier than knowing and seeing the dogs living and loving their best lives.

🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Brandi Adopted 3-5-15 Pinky, now named Brandi was set for euthanasia in the shelter after being mislabeled as aggressive when she was actually responding to her fear or her surroundings. She's a petite mix with a super sweet disposition who turns out is submissive and sensitive. We were contacted by a beautiful family who fell for her after visiting with her in her kennel at the shelter before they were told by the shelter she could not be adopted out to the public but had to be rescued for behavior. A great team of people got together on Facebook and made her rescue happen! She is with the Yospe family and they plan on adopting her! Such a happy ending for a sweet family and a sweet shelter dog. Congrats Brandi!!
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Vinny- Adopted Vinny is a happy, spoiled little boy now who went from rags to riches. He even has her very own Instagram!

🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Teddy Ruxpin Adopted 9-10-14 Teddy was adopted today after his second meeting with his new family and new sister. They get along like your typical brother and sister couple should and they couldn't be any happier to have each other in their lives now as they were both only children and needed a best friend. You can see how happy Ted and Smooch are and how much Ted loves his new yard to run around in….congrats baby boy on your new future and we look forward to hearing about your progress in your new home. Make us proud! (Rescued from OC Animal Shelter, left to die and almost did until a group of rescue people made magic happen and we got him safe to live out his forever dream and our's too.)
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 EmilyRose/Scout Adopted 8-28-14 Her new mom is so in love and happy with her, she says she's the "perfect dog" and we may be biased too, but she's near close to perfect, these two are loving their new lives together. Thank you for adopting! (Rescued from OC Animal shelter and was set to die, Scout's mom had emailed us about another dog but I didn't feel it would be a great fit for her lifestyle but when I met EmilyRose, I knew I had to play matchmaker, and IT WORKED.
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Blue/Houston Adopted 8-2-2014 Houston lives happily with his dad, Chris and his brother Apollo who is also one of our dogs! He now is a brother, has a huge back yard to share, a kiddie pool and treats galore. We're so happy for Houston who scored as I know they already love them both to the moon and back. (Rescued from OC Animal Shelter, set to die at only 10 months old for being too shy for public adoption, he's not shy, he was terrified in there and shut down, not anymore baby boy).
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Leonardo Adopted 7-15- 2014 It wasn't until he had someone who wanted to meet Leo that his foster parents realized they didn't want to let him go and we couldn't be any happier for all of them. Leo will forever be happy and taken well care of and just happens to live pretty close to us so we will be able to visit this handsome boy whenever we want. Have a happy life Leo, Mike and Lindsey. (Rescued from OC Animal Shelter, set to die at not even a year old, he was a shelter volunteer favorite and still no one adopted him when he was available to adopt and then he was listed for euth. A good, healthy, young adoptable dog like this should never die in a shelter or anywhere else!)
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Ryder Adopted 7-3-14 Ryder was euthanized by owner despite my fight for him to return to me. I will always love you Ryder 🌈 🐶 🌈 Ryder was adopted by a woman who fell madly in love with him within just days of him being with her, not hard for me to imagine considering this boy is all love, all puppy and just needed some training and gentle guidance. For the following year, I was in contact with the adopter and visited Ryder often until... This adopter moved out of state and while in her "care" Ryder along with her other dogs that she acquired in the other state were involved in a dog fight at her negligence to which Ryder and her other dog were seized by Oregon Animal Control. When I was contacted by their control officer, he assured me that Ryder would be returned to me only and that she was not allowed to have more animals. When I checked back with the supervisor, they had euthanized Ryder at her request. This woman is vile, cruel and irresponsible human being who should never own any animal. The animal control officer that I originally spoke to, told me his hands were tied as she was his "legal owner". My heart broke and anger set in. People can be one way for as long as they want to obtain what they want but I never let the loss of Ryder go forgotten. Karma will come for this person while Ryder is waiting for me at the bridge. Until we love each other again my sweet gentle boy.
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Butch Adopted 7-3-14! Butch was adopted by his loving foster family who just couldn't imagine their home and life without this bundle of joy and energy. He is truly blessed he found a loving woman who opened her family's home and her heart to take the time to train Butch and show him love and guidance, something not many of these shelter dogs have ever had. We are blessed to have them become family not only together but with the Rebel family as well. (Rescued from OC Animal Shelter, was set to die at a year old for being too active for adoption. When we met Butch at the shelter, we saw his potential and that he was a young, healthy happy dog who just needed exercise and a loving home. He has that now and more thanks to Laura and her beautiful family.)
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Sophie Adopted June 13. 2014! Sophie found a perfect home with Ericca and Ethan Lopez. We couldn't have asked for a better match in a home for our little Sophie girl. We keep in contact with Sophie and her new family and they just love her to bits and pieces. What's not to love she is such a great dog, she may be little but she's got serious spunk, and so much love to give. Well trained and well adjusted, hard to believe she was set to die in the shelter because her former owners claimed they didn't have time for her! Well they do and she's a joy. (Sophie was sitting in the shelter with no interest and was extremely scared. She would not socialize with anyone who would try to visit with her at her kennel in OC Shelter but after some time she trusted my daughter and I enough to come and greet us at the front of her kennel. We knew we couldn't leave her there any longer, so we brought her home from the shelter and within a few days she made herself at home. We fostered Sophie until we found the perfect family for her and we did. Ericca and her son Ethan, adore her.)
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Rocky Adopted 3-2014 Adopted by this beautiful family who opened their home and hearts to a rescue dog before even thinking about getting their daughter's first dog ever. We love people like this. They keep us going. Updated pic of Rocky and his family celebrating his 3 month anniversary with them, how awesome is this? IT'S PAWSOME. (Rocky was surrendered to us one night by a desperate woman who told us she found him roaming the streets and almost got hit by traffic, with no place to take him she found our rescue on Google and asked us to take him that night as she had nowhere for him to go and couldn't take him home. He was skinny, matted and dirty, extremely shy and timid. We cleaned him up for the night, took him to the vet the next morning for shots and then straight to get a new haircut to begin his new life, after that it was set for him to be neutered, chipped and then he'd begin training here with us where he was a quick and steady student. As you can see by the pictures he found himself a loving, perfect family.
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Rogers/Teemu Adopted 2-11-2014 By a wonderful family who continues to support rescue dogs and the cause to get shelter dogs into loving forever homes. (Formerly Rogers and Puck) Was a shelter favorite but was set for euthanasia until Shana, his new mom and former foster mom, stepped up and said she would foster to save his life! These are the people who make rescue so rewarding and make a difference in the world. Teemu is now spoiled and living a happy life in the Duthie pack. Teemu was set to die in OC Animal Shelter for having no adoption or rescue interest while being in the shelter as many big black dogs of this breed face. Although he was a feature dog at the Anaheim Ducks adoption awareness event at their stadium, he still was about to lose his life until we met him and knew he was destined to be a Rebel Dog. With the help of his new family who stepped up to foster him and then fell madly in love with him, he is now living the good life as a happy boy with one of our favorite families. Lucky dog!)
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Benjamin Adopted 3-3-14! Sweet Benjamin was adopted by his foster family who have helped him grown into a star student in all of his classes. This boy is so special that they just couldn't let him go, so they adopted him. Congrats to the whole family!! (Benjamin was on the special needs list on OC Animal Shelter's rescue list. He had difficulty walking and the cause was unknown even at just 3 months old he was going to die because no one stepped up to save this precious boy until a loving woman brought him to my attention and asked if she could foster him, of course, I said yes, and then his new journey with this special family began and he is happily one of their adopted sons.
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Reese Adopted 2-1-14 Reese was adopted by her foster's friend and we couldn't be any happier for this sweet girl…she has such a sweet disposition and deserved a family who appreciates her gentle and fun loving personality. Her new brother Stewart is above the moon over his new fur sister! Thank you for choosing to rescue Jessica and Kalen! As you can see she's made herself very much a spoiled part of their little family and we love them for giving her this much happiness and love!! Reese who was just an animal id number in OC Animal Shelter was the type of girl who tugged at your heart strings when you saw her shelter photo with the saddest eyes and cutest face, the sweetest girl Diana offered to foster her for our rescue and as always the foster is the hero in these dog's lives. Reese was later adopted by one of Diana's friends and is quite the princess in her home.)
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Milo Adopted 12/12/13 Milo was adopted tonight by a beautiful family with 4 kids who couldn't wait to say he was "their dog" with books and questions for us, they were prepared for us and him. Milo loved all of them and will make a loyal family forever friend to all of them. Thank you for adopting! (Milo was almost surrendered to OC Animal Shelter but we intercepted the owner as he was pulling up in the parking lot. Turned out this young guy just found him on his way to work in the streets and said he was super friendly but appeared to be sick or injured. He asked if i would take him home and at the time he was wrapped up in a towel, he could've been a possum for all we knew but of course we couldn't let him go into the shelter in that condition knowing he may never make it out as so many of them do not. Milo had no training at all, needed medical attention, shots, microchip and of course to be neutered. We took care of all of that and took him into our home for training where he thrived. He scored big time with his new family and is surrounded by four kids who love and spoil him!)
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Sundance/Sunny Adopted 12/5/13! Rest in Paradise 🌈 🐶 🌈 Sunny has joined his sister Halo in heaven. He passed away in April of 2019, his dad said he was hit very hard with mast cell tumor. Sunny was one of the sweetest puppies I had ever encountered and he will always be in my heart. I love you, Rescue Mom. Sundance was adopted by an awesome couple who have not only given him a chance at a happy life but a forever sister as well that they seem to get along like two peas in a pod. We love this so much for the happy go lucky goofy puppy who almost died in the shelter!! (Sundance was a 10 month old pup who sat in OC Shelter with no adoption interest and then was made rescue only and then was set to die….needless to say when we rescued Butch (above) from there, we pulled this little ray of sunshine too and it didn't take long for Josh and Julie to see his photo on our page and wanted to meet him and set up a meet and greet with their dog where as you can see they are like two peas in a pod living a wonderful life with their mom and dad. We love this duo!)
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Olivia Adopted through Saving Graces Rescue Olivia was being fostered by a friend of her trainer who fell in love with her, I mean who couldn't? She is a bubbly little ball of love! As much as she needed work and training on her energy level and prey drive, he stuck with her and stayed committed to this sweet lovey girl and now has given her a permanent home! Couldn't be happier for you both. This girl was rescued from the heart of three of us who came together and fought to give her a new life!
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Violet Adopted 12/6/13 We took this little girl out of the shelter and straight to the vet where she was treated for skin trauma (possible chemical burns on her back or injury) was put on medications for that as well as an upper respiratory infection and within 2 weeks her cough was gone and she was ready to begin her Rebel Dog basic training. She stayed with us for months until she began to feel like she was becoming ours as we were head over heels for her and her for all of us but just when we thought she had chosen us, Lamarr saw her on our page and immediately knew he wanted to adopt her. She is living a very active cross fit life style as her dad owns a cross fit studio where she has excelled at several levels of his vigorous training.
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 King/Jaxx Adopted,August 2013 King, now Jaxx, was adopted by his foster family who literally fell in love with him from his shelter photo and my constant bragging about what a good boy he was in the shelter despite being labeled as "scary" and aggressive. As you can see, he now has a little sister named Gracie Lou who initially was not having any part of a new family member, now they are inseparable and show us all that time, love and patience pays off with love! So happy for this boy and landing a loving family like the Pasos family.
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Kobe/Apollo Adopted 10/29/13 🌈 🐶 🌈 Rest in Paradise I will never forget you or your amazing personality ! Formerly "Kobe" now "Apollo" is living his own happily ever after with Briana and her fiancé , he now has a cousin as seen in the picture down below and enjoying running around his own big backyard and playing with his and her toys. So happy for you boy <3 We fostered this sweet boy in our own rescue and fell madly in love with this silly happy boy who had no training and needed reassurance of how loving and awesome of a dog he is. He almost lost that chance in the shelter for no reason at all other than being a black pit/terrier mix.
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Kaia Adopted 6/5/13 🌈Rest in Paradise My Sweet Bear 🌈 🐶 🌈 August 28, 2018 I love you Kaia Bear. I never gave up and now you're with your sister Dolce in heaven. You will always be in my heart. Kaia's adopter refused updates for the last two years although I never stopped requesting them, he blocked me, ignored all communication and I found out that she passed away from her vet, although they had no medical information to disclose to me, my heart is broken and I never should have adopted her out, I LOVED HER THAT MUCH.
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 LilyBug Adopted 7/30/13! LilyBug found her forever human when she met her dad. He wasn't sure how she would react to her new environment at his home so we opted for a temporary foster for a week. We knew he would be very impressed with her and he was! On 7/29/13, we made it official and he adopted Lily Bug. We love you Lily and are so very proud.
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Buddy Adopted 8-1-13 He was adopted by a wonderful loving pet experienced boxer loving friend who he now has a sister and has well adjusted to his new home (can't believe it's almost been a year for Buddy! if it wasn't for our dear friend who fostered him he wouldn't have been so blessed because he now has forever home and we know he will never suffer again. Way to go Buddy, we love you. (Buddy the boxer was rescued within minutes of being euthanized in the OC shelter. He was given up on and his companion that was also left for dead in the shelter didn't make it out. When we heard about Buddy, we rushed down to the shelter and took a chance on him. He was allegedly very aggressive and shouldn't be made for public adoption or even out of his crate. Nonsense! Buddy needed love, security and time to decompress from a sudden life change, owners dumped him, best friend killed and he was next. He was adopted by a wonderful loving pet experienced forever home and we know he will never suffer again. Way to go Buddy, we love you.)
🖤🎉⭐️💍🍾🎊 Cooper Adopted 5/1/13 Cooper was adopted by my son and his girlfriend. The bond between my son and Cooper was undeniable and he made it official this last month and we made him follow the same procedures as any other adopter would have to go through :) Cooper is a great dog and is a great addition to his family, they are inseparable to this day! (Cooper was listed as free to good home on Craigslist where we tried to help the owners find a safer rehoming program until we later saw him in the shelter and he was set to be killed any day due to no interest, luckily for Cooper, we went and bailed him out and gave him a forever home)
