Find Your New BFF!
FLUFFY (Adopt)
Obviously Fluffy is not real, but for those of you who want a REAL dog, one that will be your loyal companion and lifelong protector, one that will love you unconditionally until its last breath, we have some wonderful dogs who would love to meet you!
The simple truth is -- no dog is instantly perfect. If you want a dog that will never bark, jump, dig, chew, has perfect manners, and is 100% house-trained on day one, then please adopt Fluffy (or one like her).
A rescued dog can bring a lifetime of love and devotion, but in the beginning some may require a little extra effort on your part. Some of these dogs have been abandoned, abused, starved, hit by cars, or simply neglected by the humans they once trusted. Their worlds have been turned upside down beyond their ability to understand, and most will require some time to adjust. Some may need a refresher course in house-training. And, after being abandoned, some may have separation issues and will need help to feel secure.
It may take two weeks or it may take six months, but these issues can all be overcome with a little love and patience (and we're always here to help in any way we can). You will then have your perfect dog, and a true Best Friend Forever.
If you wish to sponsor Fluffy, your donation will help the real dogs in our care, and is tax deductible. (Donate) Thank you for your support!
Doodle
This sweet, high‑energy boy is sunshine wrapped in fur. He adores people, loves adventure, and greets every day with a full‑body tail wag. Doodle is the kind of dog who will happily join you on hikes, zoom around the house and yard, and then curl up beside you for snuggle time. Your lap is his favorite spot.
Doodle is about 2 yrs old (but acts like a puppy), and he weighs 12 lbs. He has soft creamy curls with a touch of milk chocolate on his ears, down his back, and on the tip of his tail.
He’s smart, eager to learn, and thrives with structure and activity. Doodle would do best with an active family who enjoys playtime and can help him channel his enthusiasm into fun training and exercise. He’s a total lovebug who just wants to be someone’s best friend.
So, if you want a dog who brings laughter, love, and endless zoomies, Doodle is your guy!
Rosey
***Rosey is currently in Roseville CA, but we are trying to find a way to get her to Las Vegas to another K9BFF foster home and her spay. If you can help to transport her to Las Vegas from Roseville, please let us know.***
We rescued Rosey from a SoCal shelter two days after giving birth to 5 pups. Rosey is white, has slightly curly long Maltese hair, with Westie-type ears that stick up, and we're guessing she's about 3-4 years old. She weighs 18 pounds now and has pretty much gained her weight back from nursing. She was very thin when she first arrived, but she's good now and happy about it. Lots of energy and opinions.
When she arrived, she was scared, timid and shy, but quickly wanted to be held. Rosey quickly bonded with her foster mom and the other household members. She greets strangers first with a bark, then a sniff, then she calms down and gets in their laps. Funny, it surprises people when she plops in their lap unexpectedly. She LOVES sleeping with her foster mom and the other two resident dogs.
Although she's back to her normal weight, her hair is still sparse, which is probably due to poor nutrition prior to coming into rescue. She's been eating lots of good and healthy food in her foster home, but with nursing moms, most of the nutrition goes to the puppies. Now that the pups have been weaned, Rosey's hair is starting to fill out nicely. She's been a great mom and took very good care of her babies.
Rosey is timid at first and will need some help with confidence building: lots of pets and encouragement and being able to be near you a lot at first until she gets used to her new environment. A regular routine is key to helping dogs feel safe, and is key to training Rosey. She finds comfort in knowing what to expect and routine creates this. Whoever adopts Rosey must want a dog that wants to be with their human all the time -- a velcro dog.... :)
Rosey will make someone a wonderful, sweet and affectionate companion. Like all dogs who go into a new environment, you will need to gently potty train her so she will learn your expectations, where and when to go. Also, walking on leash is new to her, but with some patience and encouragement she will learn to love her walks.
Rosey's Puppies
Lily and Poppy were born in a SoCal animal shelter on May 2nd; and we got them when they were 2 days old.
Momma is Rosey, and she has been a wonderful mom to all 5 of her babies; we don't know who the dad is but we suspect he is a small dog like Rosey. We're estimating the pups will weigh approximately 15-18 pounds when fully grown.
They are healthy and happy little girls, very sweet with calm temperaments, and they love to be held. They are all adorable, and we just can't pick a favorite! Maybe you can. :)
If you're thinking about adopting a puppy, please keep in mind that puppies get under-foot and can trip seniors or accidentally get stepped on. And, just like a human baby, they need constant supervision. These little girls are still very fragile, so inexperienced animal handlers or rough unaware kids could hurt them.
And please make sure you have the time and the ability to be home with her most of the time and train her. Adopting a dog is a lifetime commitment for the life of the dog, and these small dogs can live 15-20 years. We want to place pups in forever homes.
