Sofia was recently in a short term foster. Here is what foster mom had to say about her.

Hi: I’m Anakin a 6 year old Labrador mix who is in need of a new home as I started not getting along with my litter mates. I have a great personality – active, affectionate playful and outgoing.

Hi: I’m Desi a gorgeous 8 year old Catahoula / American Staffordshire Terrier mix who loves to play and be around people. I was one of many dogs rescued from a raid in El Rio several years ago. Those days are long behind me and I’m waiting for someone to come and take me home.

I’m energetic and cuddly and I love the water. I would make a great jogging partner as I run along beside you. I’m house trained, good with respectful children and good with dogs with proper introductions.

I’m grateful to be given a chance to know the true meaning of being a cherished member of a loving family. We’ve been through a lot and I hope we all find our forever homes really soon. Canine Adoption and Rescue League C.A.R.L. Adoption Center-call 644-7387 for more information.

Luna is a gorgeous white Siberian Husky with the prettiest blue eyes you will ever see. Her previous owner states that she got along well with the other dog in the house as well as the three year old child. She walks well on leash and is housebroken VCAS Luna A678452.

Jasmine was originally adopted from VCAS in 2010 but has come back to us as a stray. Previous notes on her indicate that she is a sweetheart of a lap dog that wiggles and gives kisses. She previously lived with other dogs and kids. We don’t know how she ended up abandoned, but this girl is in dire need of a foster or adopter to provide her comfort for the time she has left. Jasmine has cancer and deserves to spend her golden time in a soft loving home. Contact our foster coordinator if you are interested in providing hospice care for her!

Hi: I’m Bentley an affectionate 8 year old American Staffordshire Terrier / Labrador mix. I’m in need of a new home because my owner travels too much and doesn’t have time for me. I enjoy hiking on cool days or just lying in your lap. I’m friendly with people, but choosy with other dogs.

My C.A.R.L. pal Marion takes me for overnight stays at her house sometimes. She said I’m an easy dog, just provide me with a soft bed, a couple of meals a day, a nice walk and some play time and I’ll give you lots of love and enjoyment in return. CARL Adoption Center-call 644-7387 for more information.

Hi: I’m Zero an affectionate and playful 6 year old Border Collie mix who is in need of a new home. I was originally adopted from a shelter in LA, but the people who adopted me could no longer keep me. The person who has me now did not want to see me go back to the shelter, so she took me in. She unfortunately cannot keep me as I do not enjoy being left alone. I’m a great dog who learns quickly, gets along with other dogs, enjoys walks and being with my people. I hope it’s not long before I’m a cherished member of a loving family. Canine Adoption and Rescue League C.A.R.L. CARL Adoption Center-call 644-7387 for more information.

Adoptable Taffy and Amber would like to spread the word that bunnies are happiest and healthiest in pairs. Bunnies thrive when they have companions, and bonded pairs take up no more room in the house than single bunnies. VCAS Bunny Brigade adoption counselors can also facilitate bunny dates for adopters who are looking for a companion for their spayed or neutered single bunnies. To meet Taffy and Amber and witness the playful antics of a bonded pair, please visit VCAS at 600 Aviation Drive in Camarillo and ask for ID #s A674425 and A674426.

Hi: I’m Miss Brandi and about as sweet as they come. A super mellow senior Staffie mix who absolutely loves attention. Being back in the shelter after being away for so long has left me feeling a bit blue, but maybe you can change that? I love walking and pays no attention to other dogs while out and about. When she’s not on her walks, she calmly hangs out in her igloo resting. While my demeanor is on the calmer side, I really open up to people!

Hi: After being adopted by a wonderful family at the beginning of summer, Athena was returned to Ventura County Animal Services this month after her family faced a health crisis that will prevent them from caring for her the way she deserves. Athena loved to jump in the lap of the daughter and would fall asleep as her belly was being rubbed. Athena is an ideal house rabbit and deserves a new, permanent home.

Hi: I’m Boo Boo a handsome 3 year old Chow rescued from Animal Services. I’m grateful to be given a second chance at finding my forever home. I was good with the family I lived with and good with other dogs, but I didn’t enjoy being brushed or bathed. I hope I don’t have to wait too long before my special someone comes to take me home.

Hi: I’m Rory a 4 year old Miniature Poodle / Chihuahua X who was rescued from Animal Services where I was relinquished by my owner when my owner lost his home. I lived with an adult male and four Chihuahuas. I don’t like loud noises and my typical response is to bare my teeth to unfamiliar people/dogs, when things are taken away from me and when I’m approached by another dog in the home while eating. I’d probably do best in a quiet adult/senior only home. My game of choice is fetch and playing with chew sticks.

Soon after arriving at Ventura County Animal Services as a stray bunny, Jackie O appeared to suffer from pain in her rear legs that was evident when she tried to hop. It turned out that she suffered from severe luxating patellas in both knees. Fortunately, Jackie O was able to receive life-changing double-knee surgery that will enable her to use her legs again once she recovers and receives the proper physical therapy. This sweet girl now has a chance at a wonderful life in a loving, permanent home. To learn more about Jackie’s story and donate to the cost of her surgery, please visit tiny.cc/vcasjackieo.
