Adopt a Rescue Dog
We believe ALL DOGS deserve access to fresh food. The Adoption Project feeds thousands of rescue dogs across the nation in an effort to provide the most vulnerable pups with the life-saving nutrition they need to thrive! Here are some furry faces searching for their new homes.
Snowman
3 years, 25 lbs, Male Pug Mix
Snowman was found as a stray before coming to the rescue. We can’t be certain what his life was like before, but it seems like it’s been a while since he’s felt kindness from humans. He’s timid with introductions, but if you’re calm and patient with him, he’ll warm up and become relaxed and comfortable around you in no time! He loves cuddling and receiving belly rubs from the people he’s deemed trustworthy. Snowman seems to prefer women to men and isn’t very warm to strangers. Snowy isn’t a fan of loud, sudden noises so he would do best in a calm home without small children. He is a very sweet and gentle boy once he’s able to collect his bearings. Snowy does well with other dogs and loves to play with his stuffed animals. We aren’t sure what Snowy’s mixed with, but there’s some suspicion he’s part Corgi due to his large chest and short legs. Whatever his mix is, he’s 100% perfect in our eyes and we hope you see it too! Please inquire today if you’re interested in Snowman!
Henny
4 years, 20 lbs, Female Korean Jindo Mix
This loving, playful 4-year-old mini Jindo mix is bursting with personality. At just 20 lbs, she's incredibly smart and goofy, walking well on a leash and fully crate trained. Henny loves her food and is very food motivated. While she's great with other pets, she would prefer being the only pet in an adult-only home. Henny has some "stranger danger" she's working on with her trainers and needs a patient adopter willing to guide her and help her succeed around new people.
Apple Juice
10 years, 12 lbs, Female Chihuahua/Terrier Mix
Apple Juice is the sweetest little pup with a heart full of love! Apple Juice may not have the best (or any) eyesight and she’s missing a few teeth, but that just makes her all the more special. She’s a pro at mapping out her space, and her lack of sight doesn’t hold her back one bit! She loves a good cuddle and loves to wag her tail. Apple Juice is always up for a treat, and her favorite trick is to sit up on her hind legs! When new people come into her space, she might give a bark or two and act a bit unsure, but deep down, she’s just trying to figure things out. If guests give her a treat or two, she’s ready to welcome them with wags and cuddles. Tell her she’s a good girl or give her a delicious treat, and she’ll wag that tail like nobody’s business! Overall Apple Juice is a wonderful little lady, she’s so happy and easy-going and fearless! Her tail wags and cuddles are sure to brighten anyone’s day!
Levi
5 years, 65 lbs, Male Pit Bull Terrier
Levi is a good boy who loves people and all that goes into being part of the family. He’s affectionate, cuddly, and –quite honestly– hasn’t gotten the message that he’s not a lapdog. He’s going to find a way to snuggle close and lay his giant dome on your lap. He’s also a pro-sleeper through the night. You may have to rustle him for breakfast, versus the other way around. Levi enjoys getting out-and-about to smell all the smells and meet all the people. If you like to mix up your exercise routine, Levi is great in the car, always eager to jump in the back seat and see the sights. He also lights up around a hose and a ball. Levi would do well in a home with kids, other dogs, or even as the only dog. House-trained, curious, smart, tolerant, and motivated by treats and praise, he’s going to make an adopter very happy.
Flo
10 years, 50 lbs, Female Pit Bull Terrier
Hello, best friends! My name is Flo and I am one of the happiest, most lovable dogs you’ll ever meet. I’m a 10 year old pit bull weighing in at about 50 pounds. Due to an old injury I had to get my eye removed, but it’s healing very nicely and doesn’t slow me down at all! In fact, the people at Wags say it makes me even more beautiful. I’m a goofy, friendly girl and am a total couch potato. My foster parents say I’m ‘one of the laziest dogs you’ll ever meet’. I love spending time with my humans no matter what we’re doing! I also enjoy playing with toys, basking in the sun and being swaddled with a blanket. I’m crate trained, potty trained and walk nicely on leash with a confident handler. I’m a super special girl and I know I’ll keep you smiling and laughing if you take me home forever. I’ll do best as the only dog in the home. I’m healthy, up to date on vaccinations, spayed and microchipped.
Pika
12 years, 9 lbs, Male Yorkie/Chihuahua Mix
Pika's personality can be described as a cat in a dog's body. He is beautiful but only allows you to pet him on his terms, which is rarely. He grumbles & growls when affection is unwanted and retreats to his crate. He loves laying in the shade. Pika will tolerate other dogs in the house but will go after outsiders on or off leash. He takes medication for allergies and has a collapsing trachea. Pika is potty trained but still needs a belly band indoors to avoid occasional marking. He will do best in a quiet, serene setting so not to aggravate his cough by barking. He has lameness in his back legs which cause him to occasionally stumble and fall when walking. For his age, Pika has good pep and will bring cat joy in dog form for many more years.
Moira
8 years, 36 lbs, Female English Bulldog
You can’t blame us for naming this canine main character after the iconic Moira Rose… She’s a star, she lights up every room she walks into, and she’s powerfully resilient. She loves getting attention from every person she meets and will ham it up for the camera too! Moira is the perfect bébé. She’s friendly around other dogs, walks great on a leash, knows “sit” and “shake,” and has been practicing her potty-training skills with her foster. Originally brought to OC Animal Care as a stray, this leading lady is ready for her second act as a member of your family.
