This petite, curious, and affectionate feline is Gracie. She’s about 5 years old and very much enjoys snuggling in her bed while being pet and getting face rubs, especially riiiiiiiiiiiiight under her chin. She can be shy when meeting new people, but with patience and kindness her gentle and sweet disposition comes through. Preferring to come to you rather than you come to her, she likes to stretch out for belly rubs which is a treat because she is incredibly soft. Gracie is very engaging and playful - strings are a favorite toy and catnip is fabulous. And Gracie purrrrrs. When she gets pets. When she eats. When she walks by you. When she sleeps. That’s right; she does not snore - she purrs. Plus, she is an expert moth hunter!
The humans in each of Gracie’s two previous homes had medical issues that prevented them from keeping her. In the last household she was in, Gracie got along well with the male cat, but not so much with the female cat nor the canine living there. She chose to live outdoors (she is spayed), away from things in the house that scared her. Ms. Gracie will do well in a home where where she is the only cat, or shares space with a male cat.
I am currently fostering her and Gracie has adapted well to indoor living. I am allergic to cats, so this is a transitional home for her. Without issues, she is using a litter box, scratching only her scratchpads, sleeping in her beds, and communicating nicely when she is hungry, or wants to interact. Gracie is a special cat who is easy to fall in love with. It is time she enjoys an indoor life of safety, comfort, companionship and love.
If you’ve been looking for a sweet companion and a wonderful pet, please message me as Gracie is ready to start the next chapter of her life.

I have a 10 year old male Alaskan malamute that I'm looking to surrender.
I’m in the process of moving into an apartment and there’s a weight restriction on the size of dog that we can bring.
I’ve asked family and friends and nobody will take him, and I can’t see him going to the pound.
He is very friendly, good around kids, and is neutered. He lives with a chihuahua currently so he’s good with other dogs, cats I’m not sure of.
Contact if interested: darrentaylor.design@gmail.com

Buddy is an 8-year-old German Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix. He is a big boy weighing in at 100 pounds. He is spayed and up to date on all vaccinations. He does not like cats. We rescued him from Apple Valley Shelter 1 ½ years ago and he has been an apartment dog since, but I think he may have been on a ranch or other rural setting previously.
He likes to hike and walk but as an older guy he does not have a high energy level. He does have arthritis in the hip and right shoulder. Daily Cosequin has helped much. He loves kids but he does play rough, and he is a heavy boy. We had an incident with a small dog in our housing community which is why we are forced to rehome him. Otherwise, I would never give up my baby. He did not bite the dog but did go after it. The little dog had scratches but was otherwise unhurt. We have previously had extended family visits with small dogs with no problem at all and he has gotten on well with all other dogs.
He has a loud bark and will bark when someone enters your home or your property, but he is not a continuous or nuisance barker. He is great on a leash and is quite comfortable being a house dog.
Quite comfortable.

This kitty's name is San (pronounced like Fawn but with "S"). She is 5 years old, approx 13lbs, spayed and is up to date on all of her shots. She loves catnip and shoe strings but ultimately just likes to lay near her human and chill. She is in a multi-pet, busy home now, and really needs to be an only child since other animals and too much activity make her skittish. She is cautious of new people but warms up quickly with a little time. San prefers humans of the female persuasion and is an indoor kitty. If interested please contact Jocelyn at 760-216-9597.
FEMALE HUSKY RESCUE HELP NEEDED!
I would love your help finding a new home for this lovely husky that is a young female dog. The dog is very friendly, cuddly, gets along with other dogs, and is likely 1 to 2 years old.
This dog was abandoned and tied to a pole in San Bernardino, California, and left with no water or food.
A very kind lady named Xiomara (Pronounced Zy O Marr Ruh) found the dog tied to the pole and took the dog to her home where the dog is now.
Xiomara can be contacted at (909) 658-4903. Xiomara cannot keep the dog because she has several other dogs, but she wants to help find this lovely dog a new home.
Xiomara took the dog to PETCO. The dog is NOT chipped.
Xiomara made several attempts to find the owner by reaching out to local residents and asking around.
I hope you can help. Please give Xiomara a call. Thank you so much. Let me know if you adopt the dog.
For those of you that work in animal rescue or would just like to help, please help get the word out by posting this information on social media or making contacts with others that you know. Thank you for your help.
Love always,
Phyllis Mueller

The tan female I don’t think is spayed but the white male is neutered. The last shots my daughter said they had were 3-4 years ago. They are kennel trained and good with kids as you see. The female is more timid and more of a lap dog, the male is more active but still a very good temperament. They are outside dogs mostly and come in at night in the kennel, but are just as happy sitting with someone. It’s just too bad that with everything going on we can’t keep them.
Please call Dave at 951-365-1549 for info.

Seven puppies, 9-weeks old, need forever homes. They are a husky-shepherd mix. All but one are female, no vaccinations or vet check yet. These photos are a little old, but the most recent available. Please call Morgan for information: 951-330-0542
Meet Taffy. She’s a 1 year old labraheeler that we’ve had since she was 3 months old. She’s potty trained, knows your basic commands, and is overall a sweet dog. Shes up to date on all her shots and is spayed. She’s very shy and timid at first but once she warms up to you, she’ll be following you everywhere and loves going out and about ( great riding in cars as well ). Unfortunately, she won’t be able to go to a home with cats or small dogs as this is the main reason we’re having to give her up. She recently has started not getting along with our small dogs, however, gets along great with our big dog and loves to play. We’re looking for a home with older kids and no small animals. Our family is having a hard time coming to this realization but know it’s what’s best for both Taffy and us. We’re asking for a small $50 fee and will include her crate which she loves, crate cover, leash, collar, and some food. Please contact Kyle at kylemiller89@gmail.com for more info.

UNIQUE ASSISTED ADOPTION: ARF deals with dogs and cats, but we just had to help a wonderful woman who saved the lives of these precious guinea pigs who were left in a grocery cart in a parking lot. Donna took them into her home, purchased a cage for each, and has cared for them. She desperately needs to find them permanent homes. She wants no money for them, just homes. If you don't know guinea pigs, you're missing out. They are very sweet, affectionate, and love human companionship. If you'd like to know more about these lovely critters, please call Donna at 760-835-4417.
Lucy is looking for her forever home. She is approximately 8 years old, in good health, current on vaccinations, and just before the end of the year received a dental. Lucy is very well-behaved, uses a litter box without fail, and after initially learning to trust you, she is very loving.
She is ready to move into your home and loving arms. If you would like to learn more about Lucy, please contact Virginia at 951-659- 8519.

This beautiful puppy was found roaming the streets in Valle Vista, and sadly no one has claimed her. Her current name is Lola. She has seen a veterinarian, and had her first round of shots. The vet said she is 5 months old. Lola is 21 lbs. This sweet girl needs a forever family!

ASSISTED ADOPTION: Jack is 5 years old and was adopted into our home in August 2021 from an older lady who couldn’t care for him anymore. He’s 62 pounds, neutered, up to date on vaccinations, house trained, walks well on a leash, knows many basic commands, and is very trainable. He’s good with cats and dogs. He would be best suited for a single person or couple without children, in a calm and controlled environment. He needs a strong leader who can continue to train him, slowly socialize him with others, and work on his resource guarding. He has not shown signs of being food aggressive. He loves walks and car rides. He does attach himself to one or two people, and loves to be with his human. He’s a sweet dog looking for the right home for him to live out the rest of his life.

This is Suki who is approximately 2 1/2 to 3 years old. She is not spayed and is not current on vaccinations. She is house trained AND crate trained. Suki is good with the dogs currently in the household, but hasn't had much socialization with other dogs outside the home. She is, however, good on walks when passing other dogs. Cats can be "iffy." At times she ignores them, and at other times chases them. She is very good with children. She would be best in a home that has time to exercise her regularly, with or without kids.
If you are interested in Suki, please email or call Morgan at mlopezcitrowski@gmail.com

My parents live in Pine Cove and have been dealing with medical issues and driving to and from San Diego regularly...these are long days and nights and they feel bad leaving the dogs alone all day and would like them to be in a home where people have more time for them.
Luke is about 4 years old. He's the smaller of the two. My parents adopted him from a shelter. Luke is neutered and chipped.
Cooper is 1.5 years old. He is bigger than Luke and plays the role of Luke's older brother/boss. He came from a private home as a puppy. He is not neutered or chipped. He listens, comes when called, very obedient, wants to play and be loved.
Both are fully up to date with vaccinations/shots.
Both are healthy and my mom has been feeding them home-cooked food for a while now which they like, but don't need.
Both are house trained and the pair are really bonded to one another...it would be good if they could stay together. They are lap dogs...they would love to sit on someone's lap or next to them all day.
They like going for walks. They would be best in a home without other dogs or young children. They bark at other dogs who are strangers. Once they get to know them they settle down but they do get jealous. Same with kids until they get to know them.
They have two crates and leashes/collars that can go to the owner.
If you would like more info on these dogs, please call Roxanne 619-990-2066
