Brace yourself! Miss Darla is an absolute dream! Her next family will be so lucky to get to spend all of their days with this girl! Darla is the sweetest Pittie mix you are bound to meet! She's around 40lbs- what a perfect size! and is just over a year old- the perfect age! Darla is thoroughly house broken, has had several training sessions and knows basic commands very well. Darla gets along beautifully with other dogs in the home and is current residing with another- they are known to have some good snuggle sessions and lots of playing!

Darla absolutely loves walks! She does like to pull and appears to be a bit overly excited when seeing other dogs when on walks, however, once she warms up to strangers she's very sweet. Darla's looking for a home that can provide a bit more training on loose leash walking and greetings. We find that training is such a fun way to bond with your new family member! Walks are a favorite part of Darla's day so she'd love to continue these outings in that right home. Darla thrives on attention! She adores her people and is ready to meet you!

This oh so adorable guy is none other than Rambo! We hope he's soon to be your new best friend. Rambo is a 5 year old, 85 lb Pit Bull. This sweetheart doesn't have one aggressive bone in his body. He's great with older kids (10+ as he is unaware of his size) and all people! He's a big lover boy who likes to try and give face kisses. Rambo would do best as a single dog in a home, as he likes lots of attention. He has a high energy/attention need and is described as: a big, goofy, loving, cuddle bug that thinks he's a lap dog. He even knows how to shake and give high fives!

Diggity is an awesome 3 year old dog who is neutered, crate trained, house broken, knows basic commands, and plays well on doggie playdates. His cuddling skills are top notch and he's very food motivated and eager to please! He is a very high energy and would do great as a running and adventure buddy. He does well with many of his canine companions, even being crated with one dog while his current guardian is out and sleeping with a different dog in a crate overnight.

Diggity does great with most of the other dogs he lives with, but there is one with whom he has gotten into scuffles. Because that dog is older and has difficulty with change, his guardian has made the heartbreaking choice to look for a new, loving home for Diggity. We think he would do well with another confident female or really easy going pups, but would do best without another male dog who also tries to be in charge.

If you would like to learn more about Diggity and adopting him, please contact Dawn at 408-647-8032 or email justlikethemorning@gmail.com.

When left alone, she might pace at firts but quickly settles in and sleeps in her favorite blanket. Daisy enjoys sleeping in beds, dog beds, and basically anywhere there is a cozy blanket waiting for her. Could you give this sweet girl a place to land and live out her golden years?

This sweet senior boy came to AFRP from Hitchcock Road Animal Services where he was fairing poorly in a shelter environment. Now in a loving foster home, Bernie is living it up in his golden years!

Bernie would love to be a perfect somebodies loving companion and he's quite the pro at it! Well-mannered and calm, he absolutely adores meeting new people and getting to shower them in his love! Bernie is just happy to be here!

Bernie currently has intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), a common condition in small breeds but he doesn't let this slow him down! He may need some extra help being lifted onto high surfaces such as a bed or a car, but otherwise has the heart of a puppy! He spends every morning getting silly with his foster, dragging his bed around being pampered. He's obsessed with sunbathing as well!

Bernie would do best in a home with adult adopters or with dog-savvy children over the age of 12. He has exhibited some signs of separation anxiety, so an owner who is home throughout the day would be ideal for Bernie. He has done well with dogs and would love to have a new sibling, but due to his age an older dog similar in temperament would be best for him. It is unknown how he will do with cats at this time but any introductions to new animals in the home should be done slowly and overtime.

Bernie is currently in foster care and meet and greets can be arranged once your online application has been received and approved. Visit www.animalfriendsrescue.org for our online dog application.

Introducing Paolo, a loving and loyal 10-year-old German Shepherd Husky mix, who is in search of his forever home. Paolo is more than just a pet; he's a true companion ready to share adventures and quiet moments alike. Paolo's journey began when he was adopted at just 2 years old after his first owner surrendered him. He has bloomed into a wonderful canine friend, blossoming over the years with his charm and affection. He adores hiking, exploring new trails, and scenting the world around him. Whether it's a leisurely stroll or a cozy cuddle on the couch, Paolo is always ready to be by your side. Though he has a playful spirit, Paolo was unable to learn recall to come back when off leash, despite extensive training, and would thrive in an active family environment where he can be walked on a leash. This gentle giant is deeply loved by his current owner, who, due to health issues, must reluctantly find him a new home. He is fantastic with children and even cats.

Hi! My name is Miko, I am about 6 years old, neutered, vaccinated and just plain cool. I am happiest being the only dog, I love people and I love to play ball- with my person or independently. I weigh about 70 lbs, I do have some prey drive, so maybe not introduce me to cats. I am waiting patiently for that special someone to see me! I am the best companion- I play hard and I rest hard too- I love my crate, I love my treats and I know I will love you me too- I am just a senior guy who enjoys the company of people and I deserve a chance to thrive in a loving forever home. I have some training and I am very responsive to voice commands. I am not sure how I ended up needing your love & compassion, but my rescuers knew that I did not deserve to be euthanized in a southern CA shelter- please, give me a chance! 831-233-9310
