Please read the dog's entire bio before you apply. Sadly, we are no longer able to respond to every application, but if your application appears to be a good match for the dog we will reach out within 3 days. Pretty Mama is a female maltipoo born around 3/2025. She is just under 13 lbs and so full of joy, she loves everyone and is happy to meet new people. Mama is so much happiness and energy. She does have a heart murmur, a loud one at that but it does not seem to bother her at all, as a matter of fact she was spayed and did well with that as well. She has had a rough life, streets, shelter, short term adoption with someone who was not prepared for long term dog ownership and nothing brings her down. She will need training to calm and someone who can spend lots of time with her. We are still getting to know her and she will likely be availble for adoption early March. Most of our dogs are not available to an out of the area adoption because of difficulty to follow up. If you do not live within a 2 hr drive of Orange County, please email us before applying to see if the dog you are interested in may be a candidate for long distance adoption. We may consider long distance adoptions for dogs who have been in our rescue for 6 + months with no local candidates. If you are interested in adopting one of our rescues, please visit our main website for adoption procedures at www.pupsandpals.net and then fill out our application. We do not have a shelter/kennel. Our pets are fostered/boarded all over LA and Orange County. This pet is altered, vaccinated, microchipped, and has had a brief temperament evaluation to help us determine what type of a home he/she would thrive in. Please note that we put lots of time and effort to make sure our pets are ready to be someone's perfect pet before they go home.... and to make sure that we will have the best possible match for this pet we do require an : application, interview, adoption fee and in some cases a home check. Listed for adoption: 2/23/26 Adoption fee: $350 PLEASE DO NOT call or email to see if a pet is available. We update our pages daily so if he/she is pictured here in the available dogs section, we are accepting applications at this time.
