2. Ken: Cute & Fluffy Bundle of Love

Ken is a fluffy bundle of smart & cute & sweet all rolled into one! He loves all of the people that enter his foster home and is quick to offer kisses as well as accept hugs & pets! Ken is great with the resident dog at his foster home, with whom he loves to run, play, or snuggle. Cats make him curious & interested and he’s gentle & sweet when they hang around long enough for him to make contact. Ken is working hard on potty training and he sleeps quietly, enclosed in the laundry room in his foster home, at night and when his foster family is away. Although we have little background and cannot guarantee the breed make up of our rescue pups, our best guess is that Ken may be a Golden Retriever and/or Lab mix, based only on his appearance and physical features.

10. Yolanda: Lovable Yorkie Mix

Introducing Loveable Yolanda. A 2 year old, female,12 pound, Yorkie mix. She was pulled from a high-capacity shelter in LA County. It was a stressful environment and it took Yolanda a full 3 days to decompress. After that, her absolutely adorable personality came through. She is very friendly with our dogs and all humans. She loves to walk and sniff, and she is not reactive on leash to kids, men, or dogs.
Yolanda has been learning “Place” because she likes to dance around the kitchen and jump on the couch. She has exceptional taste buds. She only likes high-quality treats and food. Someone must have spoiled her at some point. Yolanda wants to be by a human’s side 24/7 but she needs to be given structure as to not develop isolation anxiety. She would benefit from an owner who will keep teaching her place and will continue to crate-train her until she has the confidence to have alone time. Learn More.
