Rocko the Keeshond / Shetland Sheepdog Mix

Dog Breed: Keeshond / Shetland Sheepdog 

We found this little guy at 8 weeks old and adopted him into our family. He quickly learned his commands and how to hold it in, as well as all the key words to his heart: walk, outside, treat, car ride, squeaky. Absolutely loves his family and enjoys making new friends. Now he's got us trained to rub that belly when he rolls over... truly a Rockstar!

Cody the Labrador Mix

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Siberian Husky 

Cody came into our lives five years ago as an adorable, rambunctious three-month-old puppy. The first night we sprung him from "jail" (as we like to refer to our local shelter) he wasted no time claiming his territory and letting us know who was now in charge! He was so full of energy and spunk, we fell in love with him right away. Now at five years of age (or I guess 35 years of age) Cody is still as energetic and full of beans as the first day we met him. He almost always still gets mistaken for a puppy. He has grown into an incredible, beautiful dog full of personality and an independent spirit. He keeps everyone entertained with his funny chatter, especially his two adoring parents!

Josie the Labrador Retriever


 Josie is a chocolate Lab with tons of personality. She enjoys swimming, hiking, running, playing with sticks, and generally anything that involves being outdoors. Although she is always getting into mischief, she is our puppy of the day, every day!

Juno the Rottweiler Mix

We adopted Juno from the South LA Animal Shelter where she was dropped off with her four litter mates. They suspect her mother was a pit bull mix, and her father a Rottweiler. She definitely has the signature Rottweiler coloring, but at just three and a half pounds, she looks like a pint-sized version of a Rottie puppy! She is incredibly sweet and spunky, loves to chew on anything and everything, and is super friendly with new people. We feel very lucky that she found us!

Big Boy Nelson the Bernese Mountain Dog

Dog Breed: Bernese Mountain Dog 

This is Big Boy Nelson. He is growing by the day! His favorite things are taking walks, eating Mom's shoes, and cuddling when he sleeps. He loves to play with other dogs and will bark at dogs and people until they come up to him to pet him, at which times he sits like a good boy. He loves going to the park and playing until he just passes out! He wants to give a shout out to his daycare, Pawz at Play.
