Hi: We’re Burt (short for Bertrand) and Bernie (short for Berniece) very sweet Pocket Chow who were found as strays. They think we are brother and sister.

We were found malnourished, filthy and full of fleas. We were scared and clearly had been very neglected. No one ever came to look for us. We were very fortunate when ResQPet Chow Dog Rescue came to adopt us both from the shelter as our time was almost up. ResQPet Chow Dog Rescue has paid for our medical, spay and neuter, grooming and training to get us ready for adoption. To help give us the best chance at finding a loving home together, ResQPet Chow Dog Rescue has partnered with Canine Adoption and Rescue League to spread the word about us.

We are smaller than the average Chow, hence we’re referred to as Pocket Chows, 30 and 25 pounds. We are a bonded pair and need to be adopted together. We’re both active, good with children (13+) and are crate trained. We’re good with other dogs and know some basic commands. We’re thankful to have been rescued, now all we need is a loving family and home to call our own. CARL Adoption Center-call 644-7387 for more information.

Hi: My extremely regal looks are only part of my charm. I am Kai and I am a pretty energetic girl, so if you like having adventures and lots of activities in your life, we will get along pretty doggone well! Besides activity and adventure, I am crazy about toys. I would like to do athletic things with you like playing Frisbee or running. If these qualities are not enough to convince that you need me in your life, let me add that I walk perfectly on a leash and I love to receive love and attention.

Hi: You know how sometimes you just want to stay in bed and hide under the covers all day? That’s me at the shelter. I’m just having a hard time adjusting and I’m really nervous because of my unfamiliar surroundings. Please don’t let that stop you from asking to meet me. My former owner says I’m good with all kinds of people. I just need someone to take a chance on me and show me a great deal of patience so I can come out of my shell and shine! If you’ve ever had those days when you can’t seem to get out of bed then you know just how I feel, so let’s help each other get out there and enjoy all that life has to offer!

Hi: If I ever got a tattoo, it would read “Will work for treats!” I adore treats and people offering me treats just about sends me over the moon with happiness because I love people as much as treats! I’ve been to doggie playgroups and I do ok in them, but sometimes I get distracted because I am a fun, people loving guy looking for a fun human to pal around with. If you would like to interview for that position, just tell a staff member you want to meet Debo. Ventura County Animal Services – Simi location – 670 W. Los Angeles Ave. Simi Valley – Debo A480906

Hi:  I’m Shadow a 7 month old very outgoing Shepherd X who is good with other dogs. I don’t know why, but I’m the last of 19 puppies available for adoption who were taken in with our moms when a family became overwhelmed when their 3 unaltered female dogs became pregnant around the same time.

I’m handsome, athletic and outgoing, how come I don’t have a family and home to call my own yet I’ll never understand?   I might make a good surfing buddy as I got to try out surfing at the Thousand Oaks Rotary Festival and I had a lot of fun!

I’m in a foster home with lots of different animals. They take me on hikes and other outings which I thoroughly enjoy. Canine Adoption and Rescue League C.A.R.L. Adoption Center-call 644-7387 for more information.

Greetings, I am Sansa and I’m looking for a special someone to rule my kingdom with. I was raised as a royal lady, and I like the finer things in life such as music, poetry and, well, cat treats.

I promise I am full of love and playfulness–it just takes me a few minutes to approve of your presence. Bring me home today so we can take over the world together!

Hi: Just so you know, I didn’t pose for this picture. Really. I am this naturally beautiful 24/7. I am a healthy sized 3.5 year old girl but don’t let my size fool you. I am very calm and polite. I like toys ok, but I think they are much more fun if you are holding the other end of them! You will get my instant and complete attention if you give me deluxe treats while teaching me new commands. Just ask the staff at the adoption center to bring me out so you can meet me and see for yourself what a sweet girl I am. Ventura County Animal Services – Simi location – 670 W. Los Angeles Ave

Hi: I’m Misty and they say I am a staff and volunteer favorite and one of the shelter’s best ambassadors. Why? I think it might be because I have so many talents. I know my commands, I walk well on a leash and I am very polite when I am taken out to lunch. I visit patients at our local medical facility and charm them with my gentle way and lots of kisses.  I have very good house manners too and enjoy lying by your feet just being close.  I have been waiting so patiently for my new forever family. Wouldn’t you love to have a loyal kissy girl to hang out with? Ventura County Animal Services – Camarillo location – 600 Aviation Drive-Misty A591719

Hi: I’m Ariel a 3 1/2 year old Labrador/Jindo possibly Shepherd X. Who knows exactly what – but this fusion is what gives me such  character. I have a cute under bite that many people say is adorable. I love people and soak up attention by rolling over on my back for belly rubs. However, I can be shy at first with strangers but I’m learning to overcome that. I was rescued from the Downey Shelter and was initially kenneled with a Husky there. It was a long car ride to C.A.R.L. and I was so well behaved and loved the journey. I’m learning to walk nicely on a leash and I’ve learned some basic commands. I’ve had a hard start in life and I hope to find my forever home real soon. Please come in and meet me, I’m a very special girl, who just needs a chance. CARL Adoption Center-call 644-7387 for more information.
