Having two dogs can significantly enhance the quality of life for both pets and their owners. Adopting two dogs saves two lives and creates space in shelters for other animals in need. While having two dogs doubles the work, it also doubles the love and joy in the home.

Two dogs provide each other with companionship, reducing feelings of loneliness and separation anxiety. They can play together, which helps keep them mentally and physically stimulated. Two dogs can keep each other entertained and exercised, easing the burden on the owner.

Training can be easier with two dogs, as they often learn from each other. A well-trained dog can help guide a new puppy, making the training process smoother. An older dog such as ( 4-5 year old ) can assist in training a puppy by modeling behavior.

Having two dogs encourages socialization, both with each other and with other dogs. This can lead to better behavior and adaptability in various environments.

Two dogs can motivate each other to be more active, leading to healthier lifestyles. They can engage in play and exercise together, which is beneficial for their physical health. Having a second dog may help ease separation anxiety in dogs prone to it.

We do not allow fosters to foster in La area or San Diego area too far if there was emergency situation he or she needed medical attention we do not have same kind of discounts as we have down here - people complain about driving distance why we don't do it plus risky as well. This is also risky because someone could disappear with our pup and block us.

We will only allow local fosters within the Orange County Area to foster our dogs. 

Fostering is only temporary, not permanent. Fosters will have their dogs until the dog's forever home is found, a short term basis, or until we have someone else take over.

A potential adopter may be an excellent pet parent - however -- our policies and guidelines are in place for a reason. This isn't about us; these are furry children we are placing in forever homes not temporary placements—they are forever homes. We know how to match well, resulting in hardly any returns. Now, it's estimated to be 1 to 2 percent if anything. Compared to other rescues I'm in touch with, they experience far more frequent returns. For the dog's sake, it's not good for some pups to be bounced around. For that exact reason we are very strict and extremely picky about how we adopt out our dogs. We are willing to wait until we find the best home possible; time is of the essence which makes it worthwhile. Even if someone has had tons of dogs for years and very experienced individual dog owner still doesn't matter to us. If it's not a good fit, then it's not a good fit. We do not adopt puppies to single households as  we do not believe in it as puppies are pack animals -- They need buddy to play with as we do not have same mentality as dog to dog interaction. Since humans can't speak 'dog language,' it's good to have a slightly older dog (2-4 years old) to teach the younger ones the ropes on how to be a dog and how to have manners etc. 

For example, Scooter, our beagle puppy, would totally be destructive if he didn't have a buddy to play with or keep him entertained. Another situation is that they can develop separation anxiety from being home alone. Us humans have our own personal lives such as cleaning the house, doing dishes, taking showers or working on the computer; we can't entertain a puppy every single second of the day, which is why another doggy friend is so beneficial. We got calls from other potential owner surrenders saying, "My puppy is being destructive." The reason he is acting that way is because he doesn't have enough stimulation and is bored—what do you expect? If he were in a home with another puppy to begin with then he wouldn't be destructive. 

Puppies for example. They cannot touch the ground until they are fully vaccinated after three rounds of DHPP Afterward, it is recommended to wait 5-6 days until they officially get to go outside. 

Rabies for puppies are to be done between 12-16 weeks, however, we do it typically around 6 months of age.

by UC Davis is 6 months when we typically spay and neuter puppies. However if it's a bonded pair, we typically do it at 5 months so the female doesn't get pregnant. 

the timing for safe spaying and neutering depends on their specific mix.

According to UC Davis they recommend waiting until 12 months. However, if a male is humping excessively and could have issues with his male private parts if he humps too much in that scarino then recommended to get him fix right away. Even if he's under 12 months such as at 9 or 10 months. 

when an owner with a larger dog (50 pounds or 60-80 pounds) wants a small breed under 20 pounds -- 
For example: "Oh, my bigger dogs do better with small breed dogs."OK, however, consider this: these small breed pups often come from difficult situations where they have experienced trauma, such as perhaps a big dog may have attacked them or they may have been abused. Not good with dogs bigger than them.  Why should a dog rescue organization cause them more trauma when they have already been through enough in their past? They don't deserve it when our rescue is trying to give them a fresh new start.  [Our rescue organization will never place a large breed puppy with a small breed puppy—no exceptions.]

-- potential adopter has a dog in the age range of 7-10 or 10-15 years old. Our organization will never place an older adult or senior adult with a puppy, especially not one that is only 1 year or 1.5 years old.  Due to age gap between puppies and older adults/senior dogs is significantly large, and their energy levels are completely different. This is not a good situation at all—younger dogs need younger playmates to play with, roughhouse with, and have companions. Young pups between 1-4 years old can keep up with puppies or dogs aged 1 to 1.5 years. In contrast, senior or older dogs can play with younger pups but not all day, since they do not have the same energy level they used to have when they were younger.  Our rescue will not ever place an older dog or senior dog with a puppy, or a younger dog who is 1-1.5 years old or even 2 or 3 years old; it is not a good fit. We see it first hand too many times.
