About Pebbles

Click apply to start the adoption process. Pebbles is a beautiful gentle giant who was rescued and given a second chance at the life she truly deserves. She arrived with horribly cropped ears, but that hasn’t taken away from her stunning looks or her incredibly sweet spirit. At 4 years old and 82 pounds, this gorgeous American Bully mix has striking, eye-catching markings and an even more beautiful heart. Pebbles may have arrived at the shelter as a stray, but you’d never guess from her loving nature. She is exceptionally sweet, affectionate, and very dog-oriented, always lighting up around new canine friends and ready for playful games of chase. Despite her size, Pebbles is soft and gentle, with a tender soul who wants nothing more than to be close to the people she loves. Although she can be a bit reserved when meeting new people, once she warms up, she’ll gladly rest her big head in your lap for pets and affection. She gets along well with other dogs and genuinely enjoys their company. When she’s comfortable, her playful side shines—full of zoomies, goofy expressions, and happy tail wags. Pebbles would thrive in a quieter home with less activity, ideally with another dog her size or one with similar playful energy. She just wants to stretch out, be part of a family, and soak up the love she gives so freely. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, big-hearted companion, Pebbles may be your perfect match. She is currently being fostered in Lake Forest, CA. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
