ADOPT DUNCAN 🤍

Duncan is a 3 year old Golden Retriever boy who somehow found himself as a stray. We truly can't understand how no one came looking for this handsome boy 💔

Now he's just hoping to find a family to finally call
his own. Duncan is pretty much everything you could want. He's goofy, lovable, playful and an absolute VELCRO dog 🥰

He loves to wiggle his way into your lap, bring you his favorite plushy "babies" and settle beside you on the couch.

Duncan enjoys his walks, playtime, treats and learning new things. He is a young dog who needs a family willing to give him patience, guidance and continued training.

Duncan's family must have:
⭐️ Adult only home or family with older teenagers
⭐️ Someone who is home more often than not
⭐️ A patient, well-mannered doggie playmate
⭐️ A family committed to his training
⭐️ Lots of love, walks, playtime & couch cuddles

Duncan does well with other dogs and we think having a patient canine companion would be wonderful for him 🐾

He's looking for a home where he can feel safe, loved and included because this boy truly wants nothing more than to be your best friend!

He may have started out as a stray, but we're determined to make sure Duncan's next chapter is his forever one ❤️❤️❤️

ADOPT ELLIE MAE 🩷🐾

Ellie Mae is a sweet 8 month old Golden Retriever girl hoping for a family of her own! Ellie spent her early months as a backyard dog and her previous family didn’t give her the life she deserved 💔

Despite it all she’s a perfect puppy girl so full of love. She’s discovering how wonderful life is being included in a family 🥰

Ellie currently lives with two Labs, two cats, and a very sassy Poodle and gets along wonderfully with everyone! Since she didn’t grow up around other dogs, she’s still learning how to play and build confidence. She often watches from the sidelines before working up the courage to join the fun.

🐾 A PLAYFUL DOG IS REQUIRED FOR ELLIE’S ADOPTION 🐾

She will need a playful and patient doggie sibling who can help show her the ropes and continue building her confidence and social skills 🐶

Ellie is very much a puppy! She’s working on potty training, basic commands, leash walking, and taking treats gently. She’s eager to learn and making great progress, but her adopter must be committed to continuing her training, socialization and building her confidence.

Ellie absolutely LOVES people. She’s affectionate, cuddly and happiest when she’s close to her humans 🥹
Families with children ages 7+ will be considered.

Ellie’s forever home MUST have:
🐶 Another playful dog
🐾 A commitment to continued training
❤️ Patience & positive reinforcement
👧 Children must be 7+

If you’ve been waiting for an adorable golden girl who will love you with her whole heart, Ellie Mae is waiting for you 🩷

ADOPT KEIRA & IZZY ❤️❤️

Meet Keira and Izzy a beautiful mother daughter pair hoping to find their forever family 🏡🐾❤️

They were wandering the streets together until a Good Samaritan spotted them. Thankfully, they are now safe in our care and we want to find these sweet girls the safe and loving home they deserve.

Our best guess is that Keira and Izzy are mama and daughter because of the very special bond they share. Ideally, we would love to keep them together 🐶🐶

We are open to placing them separately as long as each girl has another dog in the home to provide companionship 🥰

Keira, aka Mama, is 2 years old and 69lbs. She adores people, she’s gentle with kids, loves cuddling and greets everyone with the happiest tail wags.

She would love a family who is home more often and her forever home will need a a canine companion. Her forever family should be committed to continuing her training.

Izzy is a beautiful 10 months old 40lbs Golden Retriever mix with the sweetest soul. She can be a little timid when experiencing new things but once she feels safe, her wonderful personality shines ✨

She has spent her whole life by Keira’s side and is learning that she can be a confident big girl all on her own. A friendly, confident and playful dog in her forever home will be a requirement.

Izzy adores kids, toys and loves nothing more than cuddling in bed with her people. She walks nicely on leash, takes treats gently, and is working on her basic manners. She is still building her confidence, her family should be ready to begin positive training and give her the encouragement she needs.

Whether these girls find their forever home together or separately, we know there is a very special family out there waiting for them ❤️

If you’re looking for a loving companion or have room in your heart for two amazing girls then Keira and Izzy are waiting for you!

🧡 ADOPT HAYLEE 🧡

Haylee is a 2.5 year old English Setter girl ready for the forever home she’s always deserved!

Haylee came to us from Turkey where every day meant surviving hunger, fear, traffic and the danger 💔

We’re so thankful she made the long journey to America and she is safe. Now, all that’s missing is… a family to call her own ❤️

Haylee is happiest when she’s by your side. She loves going for a walk, riding in the car, playing with her toys, exploring outside and being curled up beside you on the couch!

Haylee is an absolute sweetheart. She adores other dogs, enjoys belly rubs and has a very gentle and loving personality. Those adorable speckled paws are just an added bonus 🤍🧡

⭐️ She will thrive best in a calm and predictable home where she can continue building confidence and feel safe. She can be easily startled by sudden movements and would do best with children 8 years and older who can understand and respect her space ⭐️

Haylee’s dream life isn’t necessarily one that’s constantly on the go. She’d much rather spend time cuddling with you, enjoying some fresh air or taking a peaceful outing to a quiet park rather than sitting at a busy restaurant patio.

A doggie companion would be wonderful for Haylee, as she loves other dogs. If she is the only dog in the home, her family should be committed to an intentional plan for regular and positive dog socialization so she can continue enjoying those friendships 🐶

After everything Haylee has survived, we want the rest of her story to be filled with love, patience, comfort and the security she’s waited her entire life for.

Could she be waiting for you? 🧡

To apply for Haylee, please complete the adoption application here - https://www.roversretreat.org/dog/haylee

📍 Fostered in Irvine, CA but can be adopted anywhere in the USA, so long as adopters travel to Southern California and drive home 🏡

Let’s find Haylee the loving forever home she’s been dreaming of 🤍

CANDY IS WAITING FOR HER FOREVER HOME 🍬
Candy is 4.5 year old sweet and petite Golden mix girl hoping to find her forever family 🩷

Candy originally came to us from Turkey and our wonderful rescuer cared for her until she was able to make her way to America for her second chance at life.

At 48 Ibs, Candy is the perfect petite package of sweetness. She LOVES her people and craves affection!

A few of Candy's favorite things:
🧸Toys and playtime
🌱 Running, rolling and playing in the grass
🐶 Hanging out with her doggie foster siblings
🐾 Her 2-3 daily walks
🚙 Car rides and adventures
🛋️ Cuddling on the couch
🦴 Treats... because she is VERY food motivated!

She has moderate energy and is actually quite chill once she's gotten her exercise. She's playful and loves running after toys and playing chase with other dogs.

Candy gets along very well with both people and dogs, but she is looking for a calm, peaceful home where she can truly relax.

Busy environments, loud noises and the fast movements of young children can make her anxious, so we're looking for an ⭐️ adult-only home ⭐️ without young kids.

With a little patience and time to settle in, Candy blossoms into the sweetest and most affectionate girl ❤️

✨ Her forever home will need someone around most of the time, daily walks, a cozy couch to snuggle on and a secure fenced yard with grass where she can run, roll around and chase toys.

Candy was adopted previously and that home ultimately wasn't the right fit for Candy so she is back in rescue and ready to find the family she was always meant to have.

Candy just wants a peaceful home, a person to love, a yard to zoom around in and a family who will let her be the sweet and silly girl she is 🥹

To apply for Candy, please complete the adoption application here - https://www.roversretreat.org/dog/candy

📍Fostered in Torrance, California but can be adopted anywhere in the USA, so long as adopters travel to Torrance, California and drive home 🏡

Could you be Candy's forever? 🍬

Duckie is ready for her furever home!

We rescued this little cutie at just 4 weeks old from South LA shelter when she came in as a ‘stray’. She has spent the last few weeks getting big, strong and healthy and now is 8 weeks old and ready to find her people.

Duckie is a pittie mix who is as sweet as can be. We estimate she will be around 50 or so pounds when full grown.

She has been doing well with her potty training using puppy pads and is a very smart, food motivated girl who will thrive with consistency and training as she gets older. She has already almost has ‘sit’ down and is eager to learn.

Duckie adores other dogs and people. She is a social butterfly to everyone she meets. She loves toys and is a very confident, explorative pup. She settles down after a bit in her playpen and sleeps well during the night and when left alone.

Duckie is in prime teething phase so she will need a patient person willing to work through the good and bad of puppyhood. With some basic training, consistency and socialization she will continue to be a fabulous companion.

If you’re interested in adopting Duckie please apply !

📍Duckie is currently being fostered in Redondo Beach, California but can be adopted anywhere as long as you can come to SoCal and drive home. We don’t ship any of our dogs

🤍Huge thanks to her current foster for taking the very best care of him. We couldn’t do it without you! Will you be our next new foster and help save a life? Fill out our foster application on our website!

Meet Asiago !

Asiago is the only boy pups from our Cheese Plate babies. We rescued Asiago and his siblings after an “oops” litter a few weeks back. His mom is a Boston terrier and his dad is a Chihuahua mix. Asiago is now 11 weeks old and will be small full grown, likely somewhere between 10-20 pounds.

Asiago is surrounded by sisters and is such a gentleman and good sport about it! He is the quietest, most laid back pup of the group. He is so happy to just be following the people around and being in someone’s lap. He loves playing with his siblings and the other dogs in his foster home.
He will be a wonderful addition to a loving home.

If you’re interested in adopting Asiago please apply !

📍Asiago is currently being fostered in Crestline, California but can be adopted anywhere as long as you can come to SoCal and drive home. We don’t ship any of our dogs
