These doggies need a home!


Spencer is an adorable 5 year old Pug that needs a new home


He loves to snuggle and snore on the bed at night.  He cowers if you raise your voice so someone wasn’t nice to him at some point but he’s getting more confident and is very sweet. Spencer needs a loving home! Email carvey22@gmail.com if you’re interested.


AND


Hugo needs a home!


He is an approximately 1 year old, 45 lbs Pit Bull. He is calm and sweet but has a lot of energy so a couple longer walks/day would be ideal. He has been with his foster for a total of about 6 days, 4 nights, they kept him segregated from their dogs in a back room and he was very well behaved. He seemed 100% housebroken, played with appropriate toys, and would wait for the foster on his pillow. No problem with food aggression, in fact if she bugged him while he was eating he would pause to wag his tail and lick her, then go back to scarfing it down. For more info, contact Alison at 310.383-6032.

Are you overweight and considering surgery?


Read this testimonial:


“I just woke up to being half my size. It took 18 months of behavior changes, weight loss surgery and the help of Mavis McConnon CLWC, CPT my certified weight management counselor. Mavis helped me make the right behavioral changes, understand whether surgery was the right choice and she managed my post surgery program. I’ve lost 60 pounds so far.” ~ Dan Ellis.
