🐾 Welcome Bob (8) to the DLRR Family!

Say hello to Bob, an 1-year-old sweetheart who just joined DLRR! He’s settling into his foster home and has already made a new best (temporary) furry friend — Maggie. These two hit it off right away! Maggie even jumped into the pool to show Bob how excited she was to meet him. While Bob didn’t dive in, he had a blast chasing her around the pool deck.

Bob’s been busy exploring his new surroundings, trying his best to be a lap dog, and happily chewing on bones. He’s also a big fan of hanging out with Maggie and soaking up the love from his foster family — especially when it comes to giving kisses!

This affectionate guy is already making hearts melt, and we know it won’t be long before he finds his forever home.

Welcome, Bob — your journey is just beginning! 💛

🎉 Pepper is now Poppy — and officially home! 🐾

Poppy (formerly Pepper) came into DLRR through our TMH program and went into foster-to-adopt with Ellen, Tom, and their sweet pup, Coco. She made quite the upgrade—from a small patio home to a huge yard with a pool!

The moment she arrived, she ran and ran and ran—pure joy! She’s still figuring out the pool, but she and Coco have already become the best of friends. 🐶❤️🐶

It didn’t take long for Poppy to settle in and feel like part of the family. Everything has gone beautifully, and we’re thrilled to share that her adoption is now official!

Happy life, Poppy! 🌸

Welcome Leon to the DLRR Family! 🖤

Say hello to Leon, a young Lab mix who just joined DLRR! We received a call from our friends at HAART about a dog in need of help. While they were working to safely trap a group of stray pit bulls at a construction site, a sweet surprise wandered into their trap instead — Leon!

Not wanting him to end up at the county shelter, HAART reached out, and of course, we stepped in.

Leon is a gentle soul — a little shut down right now but very sweet and friendly with other dogs. He has a gorgeous coat, soulful eyes, and a calm, mellow demeanor that instantly captured our hearts.

HAART had been calling him River (he was found near one), but his new foster family's son renamed him Leon — a tribute to hockey star Leon Draisaitl and his OT game-winner in the Stanley Cup Final!

Welcome, Leon. You're safe now, and we’re so happy to have you as part of the DLRR pack. 🐾

🎉 Robert is now Maverick — and he’s home! 🖤

Jeannine and Paul are longtime animal rescuers with a heart for both dogs and cats. With one pup and two independent kitties already at home, they welcomed Maverick (formerly Robert) into their pack—and he fit right in!

Maverick was polite and curious with the cats, but quickly turned his attention to exploring the yard, picking the perfect potty spot, and soaking up belly rubs at his new family’s feet. He played with the other dog, dove into the toy stash, and even made himself comfy on the patio furniture—right where he belongs!

His foster, Mallory, met Jeannine and Paul at PetSmart, where they proudly gave him his new collar and leash, all personalized for Maverick. 🐾

Word is he’s already settling in with his new bowls, toys, and all the love he could ask for. This sweet boy is going to be one lucky—and very spoiled—dude!

🎉 Cai has a horse!!!
Oh—and a forever home too! 😁🐾🐴❤️

This match couldn’t be more perfect. Cai went from spending 15–20 hours a day in a crate to living free on 2 beautiful acres… with a horse as a new friend!

Heather and John fell in love the moment they met him. Cai walked right up to them with a smile, like he already knew they were his people. He and their sweet resident pup hit it off instantly and played nonstop. At one point, Cai even jumped into the horse’s water bath on their shaded patio—clearly living his best life on what we’re calling Doggie Magic Mountain!

He showed off all his training and commands like a pro, impressing everyone even more.

We couldn’t be happier for this very special boy. Cai, your best life starts now! ✨🐶🐴

🎉 Diamond (5) is home! 🐾

Diamond met Robin at our Chandler Meet & Greet on Saturday—and it was love at first sight. After the event, Diamond headed over to meet the rest of the family and instantly felt right at home. The whole crew, Diamond included, was thrilled—and it was clear she was the perfect fit. Robin didn’t hesitate to make it official! 💕

Now, Diamond has a bunch of cozy new beds and toys to call her own. Here’s to a lifetime of love, snuggles, and tail wags. Happy life, sweet girl! 💖

Frank and Leslie came to our Meet & Greet on Saturday and met Choco—and it was love at first sight (but really, who wouldn’t fall for him?). They were eager to see how he’d do with their two resident pups, so after the event, he headed over to their home for some dog-to-dog introductions.

It went amazing! Everyone got along so well, and it was heartwarming to see Choco so happy and playful. Right then and there, they said they wanted to adopt him—and already had a new name picked out for him, Bear! 🐻

We are over the moon that this sweet guy has found his forever home, congratulations Choco!
