Dobby is a year old wired haired terrier/ Chihuahua mix. This ten pounds of sweetness was picked up as a stray by the North Central Animal Shelter. The shelter brought him to a mobile adoption that our organization put on at the Rose Bowl. At the end of the day when no one had adopted him we took him on The Rescue Train. How could anyone resist that face?

The stress of the shelter took its toll on little Dobby. When he first arrived at our rescue he had an infection from his neutering surgery and needed some vet care. We are now happy to say that he is thriving in a foster home and growing bigger and stronger every day. He is a shy, submissive funny little guy and loves to cuddle and feel safe.

He is making great strides in his housebreaking, crate training and walking on a leash. He’s following the lead of Walter his foster brother who is also a Chihuahua. He'd be a great companion and playmate for another small dog. No large dogs or young children please.

At this stage of his life Dobby needs someone to keep socializing him. He needs a home where some is around more often than not. He has four deciduous canine teeth that will need to be pulled. It’s one of the most common dental procedures that is performed on our young pets and is basically the removal of his baby teeth. However he will have to go under anesthesia for the procedure.

Dobby is neutered, micro-chipped and current on vaccines. He's ready to wag his way into your heart and melt you with those eyes!

Sweet little Mickey was stuck in the medical room at the shelter where he had no chance of getting adopted. He caught the eye of a Rescue Train volunteer who, despite his blotchy skin and upper respiratory infection, bailed him out of the shelter. He is now healthy, happy and is enjoying the company of three other Chihuahuas in his foster home. He is very outgoing, affectionate and loves to cuddle.

He is great on a leash, loves to go on very long walks and never seems to tire! He is approximately 1 & 1/2 years old and weighs just less than 7 pounds. He is making great strides in his housebreaking and crate training. He is already sleeping quietly through the night in his crate. Mickey would do best in a home with no small children. He'd be a great companion and playmate for another small dog. No large dogs please.

Mick is neutered, micro-chipped and current on vaccines. He's ready to wag his way into your heart!

Got handsome?

Action Hero, Lover Boy, Stoic Leading Man, Goof Ball, Lover Boy. Meet the many faces of Red! Red was rescued from The Pasadena Humane Society. He had been turned in as a stray. We know a good dog when we see one and took him on the Rescue Train where he is now in search of a loving forever home.

We've had dog trainers and veterinarians try to guess Red's breed and this is what we've heard: Retriever/lab/shepherd/pit/Shar pei/Vizsla/Great Dane mix. A real mystery mutt! He's under 2 years old and approximately 56 pounds of good dog. Everyone who meets him is struck by his good looks and soulful eyes. His stunning red coat got him his name. His temperament is just wonderful. He's an active dog who love to run and play ball. It would be ideal for him to have a yard to play in.

Red is our most recent graduate from our "Trained For Life" dog training program (to read more about this program please visit our website www.therescuetrain.org). He's had extensive obedience training which would have been a big investment for the average pet owner. We are looking for an owner who's interested in learning what he's learned and appreciates what an opportunity it is to adopt a dog that's been through this program.

Red needs an active home and ample exercise. He's a fun guy that likes stimulation. He would make a great jogging or hiking partner. He's also a little lover who can rest at your feet. He is very social and would be happiest in a home where people are around more often that not. He would be best with children over the age of 8. He's good with other dogs however he plays the more dominant role and would be a good companion for a dog close to his size. He does have strong prey drive so he would be best in a home without cats or other lives stock such as chickens. Also because he is very athletic we don't want him roaming on a large property unsupervised. He needs a secure yard.

Red is neutered, micro-chipped and current on vaccines. Can you open your heart and home to Red? In return you'll get a life time of devotion and unconditional love!
