Lorelei is happy to keep company with other dogs, cats and kids. She's had all of her shots.

Lorelei "tells" her caretakers:

I was found in Tijuana with my puppy, Rory, after being hit by a car. This accident caused a hernia, but I've already had surgery and I'm all better now. Because of my past, it does take me a few days to warm up, but once I do, I am very affectionate. If you are looking for an affectionate loyal companion, then I'm your gal.

Lilah, Chihuahua and Jack Russell terrier mix

Lilah is ready to make friends — she's happy to keep company with other dogs. She is spayed, micro-chipped and current on her vaccines.

Notes from Lilah's caretakers:

Lilah is very quiet and submissive. She is timid with new people at first, but once she warms up she is very sweet and loves to cuddle. She gets along well with other dogs and is playful once she feels comfortable. Lilah is crate-trained and will sleep quietly through the night. She is still learning how to walk on leash and needs some time and patience as she learns the big world around her is not so scary.
