Interested in adopting a pet — or just looking at some cuddly canines up for adoption? There are dozens of deserving dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Santa Ana.

Harley is a gorgeous purebred husky of 2.5 years of age. She weighs about 40 pounds. She always has a goofy smile on her face. She loves spending time with her humans and does well with other dogs.

Lucky Boy, miniature pinscher
Lucky Boy is a male miniature pinscher dog in the care of IMPS - Internet Miniature Pinscher Service, Inc. - Southern CA/NV region.
Lucky Boy is the life of the party, and he loves cats and dogs. He's neutered and vaccinated.
Here's what Lucky Boy "tells" his current caretakers:
I am a very lucky boy because I was rescued. My old family dumped me off in a shelter because they went and bought a new puppy. I'm only eight years young and I've only just begun to live. I wasn't treated very well in my old home; they never let me in the warm house and sometimes forgot to feed me. Because I was not treated well, can you work with me and show me how to receive love?

Bella Boo, English bulldog
Bella Boo is a sweet female English bulldog dog currently housed at Southern California Bulldog Rescue.
Bella Boo is ready to make friends, and she loves other dogs. She is already spayed and vaccinated.
Bella Boo "tells" her current caretaker:
I'm 13 years old and I've bounced around to a few different homes, but ended up at the shelter because no one wanted me. I'm a sweet old gal, looking for a soft place to land for the remainder of my retirement. I'm good with other dogs and kids 12-plus. I don't get around great, so I'm looking for a place I can just relax and maybe get pushed around in a stroller on short walks. No stairs for this momma. Can I come retire with you?

Casper, Jack Russell terrier and chihuahua mix
Casper is a sweet male Jack Russell terrier and chihuahua mix staying at Pooch Match.
Casper is a social butterfly, and he gets along well with other dogs. He's neutered and has all his shots.
Notes from Casper's caretakers:
He is two to three years old and weighs 13 pounds. He's an independent little guy. Casper was rescued from a hoarder who had 15 dogs in the house, none of which received any kind of attention or socialization. Because of that, he will require a very special adopter, one with compassion, patience and time to allow him to adjust to a new home on his own time.
