These animals need a home!
Monday morning, a family with 4 small children gave up on their beautiful dog, Ricardo. He is a 6 month old MALTESE/COCKER SPANIEL mix. Trained, friendly, and very sweet. Phyllis took him into her home with intentions of keeping him, but her other male dog didn’t handle it very well – So she is trying to find him another home where there are no small children or other male dogs. If you are looking for a dog, this could be the one.  He weighs 15 pounds and is adapting well to his new environment. Email phyllis@ekventures.com
AND
This little girl has been at the shelter for going on 2 months and is starting to show signs of depression. At first she was happy to see people coming in, but now she doesn’t even lift her head. She is so needing her forever loving home. She is at the Yucca Valley Animal Shelter. It is NOT a No-Kill Shelter. Every once in awhile, someone like Harley needs a little extra help. Harley is a 4 year old black spayed female Doxie mix. She gets along with other dogs, cats and children of all ages. Harley was raised with children so she would make a great family pet. Harley has been vaccinated and will be micro-chipped prior to adoption. Contact Claudia: claudiahamilton@verizon.net or cloud@desertmoon.net
AND
Chelsea is a 7 – 8 year old Shepherd/Rottweiler mix rescued her from Karma Rescue approximately 6 years ago.  She is neutered, has a micro-chip and is up to date with her shots. She is an incredible people dog who loves to be around people,  she is great around other dogs.  She loves to walk, hike and visit the dog park, but is equally happy to hang out at home with the family and friends. She is also great around kids. She can be indoors or outdoors and is very mellow when at home.  She does not chew or bite and her favorite thing is to hang around the family inside the house or to walk in the neighborhood, visit the dog park or hike in the hills.
