THE PERFECT HOME FOR THE PERFECT DOG!

Jasper not only has a four-legged buddy to play with but also a two-legged little friend. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect home for this special guy.
He will always be one of my most memorable saves. We saved him the day before he was scheduled to go down and he turned out to be a perfect dog in every way.

JASPER IS A JEWEL!

Jasper is a handsome Wheaton Terrier who is about 1 1/2 years old and weighs 28 pounds. This amazing guy has an absolutely stellar temperament. He came in as a stray from the Lancaster shelter in a matted, filthy condition (check out that before pic!) and he quickly ran out of time due to overcrowding. The staff and other rescue groups advocated for him in an effort to get an extension of his euthanasia date. We got him out at the 11th hour. It was mind-boggling to realize such a perfect, loving dog could have lost his life. From the moment we got him he was gregarious and playful and exuded joyfulness. He loves getting the zoomies around the yard and is great with other dogs. He's also gentle and patient with kids. Jasper loves belly rubs and cuddling next to on the couch. He's friendly with everyone he meets including other passing dogs while on a walk. This guy is an absolute dreamboat and was housebroken from the start. Jasper is what we call a plug-and-play dog. He'll fit seamlessly into any active home and preferably one with another playful dog or kids and a yard. For more pics and a cute video please take a look at our website bichonsandbuddies.com. He has all shots and is chipped and neutered. If you're interested in meeting him, please fill out the adoption application on our website bichonsandbuddies;com.

Maisey is a darling Maltipoo who is about 2 years old and weighs 13 pounds. She was confiscated by the police from a m**h house in Riverside. At some point her left rear leg was broken and healed on its own. We took xrays and since it's not in the joint it is not causing any pain. She also had a wound on her shoulder which has since healed. Despite all she's been through, Maisey is playful and affectionate and bonds well. She enjoys playing with toys on her own but would also enjoy the company of another playful dog. She's good on a leash although she can be reactive with certain bigger dogs. Maisey is still working on her potty training but making good progress. She does get very drooly when in a car so she's not the dog you want to drive around with. Maisey would do best in an adult-only home. She is spayed, has all her shots and is microchipped. If you're interested in meeting her, please fill out the adoption application on our website bichonsandbuddies.com.

HELP US SAVE HIM NOW!!!!

Jasper is a sweet two-year-old non-shedding mix who is 28 pounds. He's a favorite of all the volunteers at the shelter and they even groomed him to help get him adopted but his time has run out. Multiple rescue groups and the staff have begged and pleaded to give him more time as he's frantically being networked but there is such an overpopulation crisis that all rescue groups are full. I need YOU to help me save him. I know I can find this darling guy a home quickly but I can't take him unless I have somewhere for him to go. PLEASE......just give him a couple of weeks. Text me at 310-995-1975 if you are in the general area of Los Angeles, San Fernando Valley or South Bay. I provide everything you need.

SMALL BUT MIGHTY!
Meet Ernie - this sweet little boy has a a whole lotta s***k, smarts, and spirit.

18lbs, low shedding, terrier mix.

✅ HOUSETRAINED - and he’ll sleep cuddled next to you all night long till you’re ready to get up!

✅ GREAT ON LEASH! Good thing because this dude loves his walks. He’s all about getting his steps in!

✅ AMAZING TEMPERAMENT - Non-aggressive, easy going, great with kids, barely barks, Ernie is everybody’s buddy - dogs and human alike!

Ernie is the ultimate companion dog. He’s down for whatever as long as it’s together. He’d do best with a family, a work from home situation, an active retiree, or anyone looking to have a BFF by their side. A house with a yard would be ideal!

Favorite activities include:

Chewing on my bones

Picking out toys from the store and parading them around the neighborhood in my mouth.

Hunting gophers in the park.

Cuddling in your lap.

Car rides!

Getting the zoomies after my morning walk.

Solving puzzles.

Napping.

Going on adventures.

Anything you’re doing!

During his time at his foster home, Ernie has really come out of his shell. He’s the kind of dog you’ll find a new reason to fall in love with every day. So how about today?

He has all his shots, is neutered and microchipped. If you're interested in meeting Ernie please fill out the adoption application on bichonsandbuddies.com

Marta is one of 16 Poodles that were dumped in a park in Palmdale in horrific condition. The shelter called in a groomer who shaved them all down so please realize that her beautiful nonshedding coat will grow back. She's about 11 months old and weighs 17 pounds.
Marta has transformed from a dog who was afraid to walk through a doorway to one who gets excited when she sees her leash. This curious pup enjoys long walks where she can sniff everything, and her leash training keeps getting better. Inside, she’s become a little Roomba who cleans all the crumbs off the kitchen floor. She also loves chomping on a good bone, and making new human friends at home. She sleeps well in her crate, putting herself to bed at night without being asked, and won’t wake you up early in the morning. She happily curls up at your feet while you work. She loves wrestling with her squeaky toys, getting belly rubs, and rubbing her face all over her favorite people.

Marta gets along with other dogs and would be best with older kids since rowdy little ones would probably spook her. Marta is spayed, has all her shots and is microchipped. If interested in meeting her, please fill out the adoption application on our website bichonsandbuddies.com. Please consider giving this lovely little girl a chance to continue to blossom. It will be the greatest experience you'll ever witness.

Please share to all your friends and help Ernie get a forever home. Hes the most perfect dog I've had in a long time. You can read all about him and see more pics on my website bichonsandbuddies.com

Who wants a PERFECT dog??
Ernie doesn't understand (and neither do I or his foster) why he still doesn't have a forever home. People, this is as much of a plug-and-play dog you'll ever find:
1. Totally housebroken.
2. Great with dogs big and small
3. LOVES kids and is super gentle
4. Great on a leash (no barking or lunging at other dogs on a leash)
5. Plays fetch
6. Loves to cuddle.
7. Not a barker.
SOOOOOOO........what else is there?
We do a trial adoption so you have a week or so to see if he (or any of our dogs) are a good fit. If not, we just take them back. We guarantee Ernie will endear himself to you. If interested in a meet, please fill out the adoption application on our website bichonsandbuddies.com. There you will see his picture on the front page and just click on it to see more pics and read more about him.
