Meet Kobra, a 6-month-old Chihuahua who is shy, playful, and loves cuddles. At just 7 pounds, Kobra enjoys daily walks and running around outside, but his favorite place is right next to his person on the bed. He's learning house training and leash walking, and he's crate trained. Kobra gets along well with dogs, cats, and children, and would do best in a home with another playmate to keep him company. He’s vaccinated, neutered, and ready to find a loving home with a yard and someone dedicated to continuing his training. If you have room in your heart and home for this sweet boy, please apply to adopt him today! Adoption fee $275. https://apply.lapdogrescue.org/apply?source=post&rg_id=22689132

Meet Benji, a 3-year-old Shih Tzu/Maltese mix who is as lovable as he is bossy. At 14 pounds, Benji thrives on attention and loves following his person everywhere he goes. He’s a bit of a bed hog and prefers not to be left alone for long, making him perfect for someone ready to give him all the love and companionship he craves. Benji is house trained but still working on his manners and is not a fan of crates. He’s selective about other dogs, so he’d do best as an only pet, but he’s good with cats and children. If you’re looking for a small, charming companion who wants to be spoiled and close to you at all times, Benji is your guy. His adoption fee is $225, and he comes fully vaccinated and sterilized. Apply to adopt Benji today at https://apply.lapdogrescue.org/apply?source=post&rg_id=22868143

Meet Teddy, a lively 1-year-old Terrier mix who weighs just 9 lbs. Teddy is playful, loves to run free, and thrives with a moderate activity level. He’s house trained, crate trained, and enjoys being indoors but especially loves spending time outside exploring and playing. Teddy can be a bit bossy and has shown aggression toward other male dogs, so he needs a home without any other males. He does well with cats and children. If you have a yard and want a small dog with a big personality, Teddy could be your perfect match! Medical highlights: vaccinated and sterilized, moderate grooming needed. Adopt Teddy for a $225 fee. Apply now: https://apply.lapdogrescue.org/apply?source=post&rg_id=22787875

Friendly with dogs of all sizes, cats, and kids, Kai would thrive in an active home that can keep up with his playful spirit and continued training. If you're looking for a lovable, energetic companion, Kai is your boy! Adoption fee is $275. Apply today at https://apply.lapdogrescue.org/apply?source=post&rg_id=22689128

🎃 A few reminders to keep YOUR little monsters safe:

🍬 Keep candy out of paw’s reach—especially chocolate and anything containing xylitol. Stick to pet-safe treats!

🚪 Give pets a quiet, secure spot away from the front-door excitement, and make sure their ID tags and microchip information are current.

🧛 Costumes should allow easy breathing, movement, and vision. If your pet looks uncomfortable, skip the outfit—they’re already adorable!

🕯️ Keep candles, cords, and decorations away from curious noses and wagging tails.

☎️ If your pet eats something potentially toxic, contact your veterinarian right away.

Let’s keep the scares in the graphic and our pets safe and happy! 🐾🧡
