Meet Brown Sugar
He’s everything his name suggests; sweet to the core and full of puppy energy! He’s still working on his leash manners but once you get him to the play yard he lives for chasing his toys. He hasn’t quite figured out the “bring it back” part yet, but honestly, watching him figure it out is half the fun.

His person is out there, someone who loves a dog with a soft heart and a lot of enthusiasm. Is that you? → Link in the comments below to meet him.

Meet Santa, Aries, Otis, R***r, Sonora, Maddie, Chula, and Rudy. Some of our longest-waiting dogs, that have all been with us for over two years. They know our volunteers by footstep, they have favorite spots in the kennel, and they are so, so ready for something more.

Fostering doesn’t require a perfect home or a permanent commitment. It requires someone willing to give one of these dogs patience, routine, and a little love while they wait for their forever.

If you’ve ever thought about fostering, this is your sign. One foster home opens up one kennel space, which means one more dog we can pull to safety. The ripple effect is real. Click the link in comments below to learn more. 🩵

POV: you have a snack and Cookie is nearby 👀

Little miss Cookie certainly lives up to her name! Whether it’s not-so-patiently waiting for a treat or burying her head into you for pets, this petite passenger princess certainly packs on the charm. This 7 year old old cutie not only loves all the people she meets but has absolutely melted when meeting kids and toddlers 💕

Cookie is on the hunt for a foster or forever home 🐾

Finn is, by all accounts, a very chill dog. Except when his favorite volunteers show up with a new toy, then Finn shows off his zoomies and chill goes out the window.

Happy Fun Friday from this guy and his people. We’re so grateful for moments like this making our dogs stay just a little sweeter while they wait for forever.

Meet Aries

That face? Total liar. Behind those serious eyebrows is a giant goofball who loves his playgroup girlfriends, melts for every human he meets, and would absolutely try to fit himself onto your lap if you let him. He’s big and he knows it, but he doesn’t care. Honestly, neither do his friends.

Aries is looking for a family who won’t judge a book by its cover. His person is out there. Is it you? → Link below to apply.

Meet Enzo! 5 years old, full-time treat enthusiast, part-time model. He may look focused, but we know exactly what’s just off camera. Enzo’s available for adoption and apparently, for bribes.

We’re so excited to share that our updated Sponsorship Program is officially live and we’d love for you to be part of it.

It costs an average of $10 a day to care for one dog at our Santa Paula sanctuary. Food, boarding, training, medical backup and your monthly gift covers it all, one day at a time.
Whether you give $5 or $300, there’s a spot for you. Our new Canine Companion tier lets you choose what you give and all tiers are tax deductible and can be paused or updated anytime.
👉 Ready to find your tier? Link in comments.

Our next Volunteer Spotlight is from John!
John is a volunteer dog walker and he says, “One dog that I have become particularly close to is Mikey. When you first meet him you can see how excited he is to interact with people. He will run back and forth in anticipation of greeting you and he loves any time you can give to him. Even though he is on the stronger side, walking with him is a great experience that I look forward to whenever I come to volunteer. As long as you have a treat with you and good energy Mikey will love you forever. I highly recommend giving him a visit!”

Learn how to become a volunteer and meet Mikey and his friends!
