Loma, shepherd mix
Loma is a female shepherd mix staying at California Labradors Retrievers and More.
Loma loves other dogs. She is already house-trained. Loma is already spayed and vaccinated.
Here's what Loma's friends at California Labradors Retrievers and More think of her:
Meet the beautiful Loma! This gorgeous girl is around three years old, and we think she is a Shepherd mix. She probably has a few other breeds mixed in her as well. She has soft, white and brown fur with brindle markings. Loma can be a little shy in new situations but don't let that deter you because once she feels comfortable, Loma is an absolute sweetheart. She loves her people, walks well on the leash, and knows a few basic commands. We are also told she is house trained. Loma gets along with other dogs but she is more of a mellow-type girl that prefers like-minded canine companions instead of bouncy energetic pups all in her face.

Bam Bam, American Staffordshire terrier mix
Bam Bam is a male American Staffordshire terrier mix being kept at It's The Pits.
Bam Bam is eager to make friends — he'll get along great with your other dogs. Fear not: he's already house-trained. Bam Bam has been vaccinated.
From Bam Bam's current caretaker:
Bam Bam is the happiest, sweetest guy you'll meet! He always has a pittie smile and a wagging tail to greet you. When he first came in, he was not crate-trained, leash-trained or even knew how to "sit". But, he is incredibly eager to please and treat motivated and has already made huge improvements. Now he goes into the crate on command and only barks if he has to use the bathroom. He's definitely more on the submissive side and not dog reactive at all. He craves attention and human affection. I'm excited to see him continue learning and growing and know he will be a great addition to just about any home!

Meet Pickwick! This cutie is a Shepherd mix and we think he is around 8 months old. We don't know who his mom and dad were but since we think he is part Shepherd, we expect him to be medium to large size when full grown.
