Dogs Available for Adoption
I'm Trooper
Boy, if ever a dog had the right name, it's me!  I'm a purebred Jack Russell terrier who came to FOAF with two broken front legs.  But even then I was an absolute sweetheart.  After lots of expert vet care and love I'm pretty much good as new (I have a limp, but I sure don't let that slow me down).  I’m a perfect example of the feisty, fun-loving Jack Russell personality, although like many JRs I’m not too good with some other dogs and animals smaller than me.  If you love courageous, affectionate, furry little heroes, come by and meet me!


I'm Rocky
I'm a compact, handsome guy with a great smile and an attitude to match.  I'm not too big, not too small, with a giant smile for everyone I meet.  As you can see, I enjoy walks as well as snuggling time, in fact I'm happy to do whatever you like to do, just so long as we can be together.  If you'd  like a cheerful, affectionate companion, maybe I'm your guy!

I'm Dexter
I'm just about the cutest little Chihuahua you've ever seen, and I have the sparkling personality to match! I belonged to a homeless man who didn't appreciate me, so he gave me to a kind rescuer who brought me to FOAF.  I'm such a good guy and I get along great with other dogs, big and small --so long as they're nice to me -- and I have a big, beautiful smile for everyone I meet.

I'm Spencer
I'm such an elegant, exotic-looking fellow that's it's easy to imagine that in a previous life I strode across an African savannah or the sands of the Sahara.  Luckily, in this life I'm a cheerful young guy with the energy and sociability of a puppy.  I get along very well with other dogs as well as people, and I can switch easily from romping to cuddling.  But even at my goofiest, I'm a handsome, long-legged eyeful.
I'm Wag
No your eyes are not deceiving you, I really am this cute!  Can you believe I was found alone in the middle of the street all by my lonesome? 

I'm a quiet, well-behaved little guy, a terrier mix with the most beautiful big brown eyes you've ever seen.  I get along well with other dogs and I'm a real charmer, although I'd be best in a home with older or no children. 
I'm Scooby Doo
I'm a very handsome Staffordshire Terrier, sweet-natured and friendly, and also pretty strong, so I'd need an owner who knows how to handle a powerful and enthusiastic bundle of love like me.  But what a lover I am!  How'd you like to see that smile every day when you come home from work?
I'm Moby
I'm a  gorgeous guy with a beautiful smile and impressively nice leash manners.   I'm young, smart and goodlooking, and very friendly with people.  I  enjoy exercise, playing, and just plain hanging out.  If you like handsome fellows with a lot of spirit I may the perfect new addition to your family
I'm Toby
How they got two serious pictures of me I'll never know, because I'm the biggest goofball here.  I'm filled with zest for life and I'm probably the nuttiest guy you'll ever meet.  Once I get over the excitement of going for a walk I have great leash manners and I'm so affectionate and happy to see you that I guarantee one minute in my company and you'll feel like a million bucks!
We're Magnum (left) and Tikka (right)
We're two of the sweetest dogs you'll ever meet, a boyfriend (Magnum)-girlfriend (Tikka) combo who want to stay together.  Magnum is a beautiful Rottweiler with the heart of a teddy bear.  Tikka is a shy, gentle shepherd mix.   Our previous owner was unable to find a home where she could bring us, so we've bonded closely through the tough times.  We're a couple who bring smiles to everyone's face and we are genuinely beloved for our sweet personalities.

I'm Autumn
Some dogs get rescued; some dogs go out and try to find a better life.  I started out with not-so-nice people who overbred me and badly cropped my ears.  So one day I camped out on a stranger's doorstep looking for a loving new life.  I'm not a puppy anymore, and it can be hard to find a home when you're a pit bull bred not to like other dogs.  But I'm loyal, I have a loving heart, and I'm hoping someone sees what a good girl I really am. 
PS - I love tummy-rubs in the sunshine!




I'm Winnie
Maybe no dog is perfect, but I come pretty darn close. I'm such a sweet and friendly girl -- I just love everybody!  I'm also the perfect size, not too fragile, but just the right medium-size that makes me a great fit for any size human.  The one thing you can't see here is I also have the most gorgeous smile; and any time I'm with you -- I'm smiling!
I'm Kai
I'm a handsome guy, a Boxer mix with a big, beautiful smile.  I'm quiet and well-behaved, with terrific leash manners.  In fact, I'm a gentleman through and through.

I'm hoping to find a Mom or Dad who will shower me with affection. petting and walks.  If you're looking for a great-looking companion with a calm, friendly, unflappable personality I might be just perfect for you.
I'm Tom
I'm a handsome and very affectionate fellow who's full of energy and fun.  I'm looking for a home where I can get lots of play and exercise as well as lots of love and affection.   I'd be a great family dog, as well as a terrific companion for a high-energy single or couple.

And after all, I'm a world-class snuggler and kisser, so  who wouldn't want to cuddle up with me?

I'm Buster
What a sweetheart I am!  I'm a Lab mix who, in my heart, is really a snuggly lapdog.  Even though I may start out shy (I was abandoned in the desert as a puppy), I'm hoping to find that one person, or that one loving family for whom I can be a loyal companion, a comfy couch potato-buddy, a friend to take long walks with, and a so-happy-to-see-you official greeter after a tough day at work. 



I'm Simba
Even though I have the name of a king I was rescued from a County shelter where I was scared and sick.  But as you can see now I'm happy, healthy and confident, with a beautiful, caramel-colored coat, gorgeous amber eyes, and a sweet, cheerful personality. I get along well with dogs and people and love to be where the action is (and where the treats are too!)

I'm Dylan
I'm an active, alert guy, medium-sized with a gorgeous brindle coat.  It's so much fun just taking a walk with me because I have such a good time: I want to smell everything, go everywhere, check out every leaf.  It's exciting just being with me and seeing the world through my eyes.   Possibly part Cattle Dog, I'm compact, with a charming, outgoing personality and great leash manners.  With me by your side, how could life get any better?
I'm Blossom
I'm a purebred German Shepherd Dog and I'm amazingly intelligent, as well as beautiful.  Like most German Shepherds, I'm no instant pushover, but once I get to know you I'm silly and affectionate and very loyal.  I'm good with other dogs and I love a good walk followed by a nice chest rub.  If you're looking for true, intelligent devotion we may be a match.


I'm Bill
As you can see, I'm an extremely handsome Lab mix, not a young guy, but I still like a nice toy to play with. Like many older folks, I'm a little set in my ways, so I probably would prefer a home with older kids, or maybe older folks like myself.  I'm smart and a good companion, and I have super-great leash manners -- it's an absolute pleasure to take a stroll with me.
I'm Trixie
What a sweet, intelligent face I have!  I'm a Staffordshire mix, very cheerful and loving.  Through no fault of my own I'm not good with other dogs, but I'm a good listener  so it's easily controlled by a good Mom or Dad. 

I love walks -- you should see the beautiful smile I get on my face when I'm out and about.  But I do have a couch potato side, and would love to be your companion no matter what you're doing.
I'm Monroe
I'm a genial, all-American hound mix. I'm long and lanky, with a cheerful attitude and a million dollar smile and I'm a favorite with volunteers because I'm such a pleasure to be around.  I've got great leash manners and I'm happy just hanging around with you.  If you like a no-muss, no-fuss, plain old dawg, you and me may be a perfect fit!
I'm Brownie
I'm a small but eye-catching, athletic terrier mix who's a great mix of cuddly and spunky.  I get along well with other dogs and I have a bright, curious personality.  I'm up for any adventure, from meeting new people to a fun-filled walk, to just about anything you can think of for us to do together



I'm Shaggy
If you love the quirky Cocker Spaniel personality, I'm your man!  I'm a big, goodlooking guy who's very energetic and affectionate, but I have my Cocker moods... I can be compliant and stubborn, loving and reserved. If you love the complex, thoughtful, deep, yet charming Cocker disposition, wrapped in a tawny, handsome package, maybe we're a match.
I'm Ringo
I'm a handsome guy with great leash manners, a beautiful smile, and the cutest little white spots on my face that look almost like freckles.   I'm also a real lover, who genuinely wants to connect with people -- especially that one special someone (or family) who will look after me and give me all the love and affection I'm so happy to give back to you.
I'm Kenny
I'm smart, cute and social guy, probably a Beagle mix, who was rescued off the streets of Puerto Rico.  It was tough there but I'm certainly very glad to have come all that way in the hopes of finding a home in Los Angeles, hopefully with a Mom or Dad who loves a handsome, brave little survivor like me.  I'm very sweet and I get along great with other dogs.
I'm Pepper
I'm a small terrier mix and very beautiful, with my feathery brindle coat.  I'm a little shy at first but very sweet and great with other dogs.  Rescued in the nick of time from a city shelter, I'm hoping for a loving, safe new home of my own.
I'm Beany
I'm a tiny little guy -- a senior teacup Maltese.  As cute and sweet as I am, can you believe I was rescued by a kind woman after my owner abandoned me and left the country?  But I'm a hardy little man and I still think there's someone out there for me, someone who appreciates a quiet, well-behaved gentleman who likes nothing better than to snuggle in your arms.
I'm Alfie
What a goodlooking guy I am! A Shepherd/Lab mix, I'm both smart and social.  I love walks and exercise, but I also really enjoy that special one-on-one time with the right Mom or Dad, or maybe a whole family I can call my own -- and maybe give some slobbery kisses to!  If you love eye-catchingly handsome guys with big hearts I could be the perfect companion for you.
I'm Kushy
I'm a beautiful Black Labrador, super-smart and friendly as can be.  I came to FOAF and they thought I might be a little chunky, until about a week later when they realized I was getting ready to have a bunch of puppies!  Well, I had nine beauties and I was just as good a mom as can be, but now my babies have found homes, it's time for Mom to find that special loving family I've definitely earned.

I'm Dezy
I may look serious, but I'm really a goofy clown of a girl. I'm definitely some kind of Hound mix, because when I go out walking my nose is always an inch from the ground, with my tail high in the air -- and you should see my excitement when I see an exotic, unusual species like a squirrel -- and boy do I love people!  They're the best!
I'm Maisie
Don't be fooled by the serious look on my face, I'm a genuine sweetie. Some dogs go through a shy phase, but I just skip straight to the  sociable, smiley part.  I'm  a beautiful tawny gold, and I'm on the small side of medium-size -- perfect for any size new mom or dad.  I was rescued as a stray and I can't wait to show you how happy I am to be here -- with you!




I'm Willie
I'm a goofy Lab mix with a playful personality and an oddball streak.  I like people and hanging out and, of course, who doesn't like a good belly rub?  I know I do!  If you like a guy who's a definite character, with excellent leash manners and a winning, cheerful smile, maybe you and me could be a wacky twosome!

I'm Angie
I'm a beautiful and genuinely sweet girl.  A Husky mix, I'm enthusiastic, affectionate, and I occasionally like to re-visit my roots with some Husky vocalization when I'm super-excited.  But mostly I'm a quiet girl who gets along beautifully with people and other dogs.  I'm hoping for a family that's as loving and warm as I am.
I'm Comet
I'm a very sweet and sociable little guy, either a lanky Chihuahua or Chi mix.  I'm just a youngster, and I get along great with other dogs as well as people.  I'm the perfect combination of active and snuggly and I'd love a home where I can get lots of love, play and cuddling.
I'm Dudley
You can see what a beautiful guy I am, but I'm also a happy, friendly young fellow, just about a year old.  I love people, exercise and having fun, and I have nice manners and am always up for some snuggling with a loving mom or dad.  If you're energetic, friendly, and looking for the perfect soulmate and companion maybe you're looking for cuddly Dudley!
We're Annie and puppies
I'm a beautiful Setter mix with a gentle, affectionate disposition, and a big new family!  I was found as a stray and in early January I gave birth to nine gorgeous babies: five girls and four boys.  As you can see, we're all healthy and very good-looking, and soon we'll all be looking for loving, safe and happy homes, maybe with you?
I'm Osa
My name means a girl bear, but my personality is more like a teddy bear.  I'm very beautiful, with a gorgeous brown and black brindle coat with a striking white flag on the end of my tail.  I'm also just as sweet and affectionate as I can be.  We don't know what breed I am, but I'm about the size of a Labrador, with a cheerful, friendly personality to match.
I'm Romeo
I'm a gorgeous, elegant whippet mix with striking brindle patches of tan and gray.  I was found running the streets, and boy am I glad to be safe now.  But what I really want is a home with a family who loves me and wants to play and snuggle in equal amounts.  In return I offer loyalty, intelligence and lots of love.
I'm Charlie
I'm a great example of how love can change a dog.  When I came to FOAF I was a scared little guy, but with love and socialization I'm now cheery, outgoing and very affectionate.  I'm young (less than a year old) and we think I'm a Poodle/Terrier mix.  I get along great with other dogs, but what I really love -- now -- is people!
I'm Junior
If you're looking for a dog with spark and personality, I'm your guy!  I'm a lively, intelligent Lab mix (maybe with Border Collie) and I love to have fun.  I'm still pretty young, about two years old, and I need lots of exercise, both physical and mental.  If you love party animals, maybe you and I would be a great match.
I'm Callie
I'm a terrier mix who was found alone wandering the streets.  I'm still adjusting to all this attention and sometimes I can be a little shy, although I get along very well with other dogs. But I'm really a sweet girl who's just looking for the perfect mom or dad to shower with affection.  If you like scruffy, fluffy girls with gentle, thoughtful personalities I may be perfect for you.
I'm Fritz
Whoever said Chihuahuas are temperamental never met me!  I'm such a cool guy, I'm friendly and energetic and I love people as well as other dogs.  I'm also a cuddly little armful of a fellow and so goodlooking, with my shiny black coat and big handsome smile.
I'm Mango
Do I look like a lot of fun?  You're right, I'm a one-dog party!  I'm a Red Heeler and I have loads of energy and personality.  However, like any purebred I have the itch to do what my breed does -- except there aren't a lot of cattle to herd in L.A. -- so I need lots of exercise to keep me happy and out of mischief.  Fortunately I'm so sweet I'm a pleasure to go walking or running with.  I also love toys, so if you're looking for a super-enthusiastic catch or Frisbee partner look no further!
I'm Patches
I'm a high-energy Pointer mix, medium sized and full of fun.  I'm charming and very affectionate and sweet.  I'm a young guy and would probably be best with older children or adults who have the time and dedication to help me channel my high spirits with games and exercise -- and lots of cuddling!

I'm Sugar
I'm a handsome young guy, full of high spirits and fun.  I've still got lots of puppy vitality, so I need lots of exercise and someone who knows how to help a young guy channel his energy.  In return, I've got boundless affection and, let's face it, I'm very goodlooking and sweet-natured.
