About Pebbles

Make their next chapter their best one yet. Meet Pebbles, the absolutely perfect girl who will melt your heart! Pebbles is an 8-to-9-year-old, small Bichon/Poodle mix with a sweet and loving personality. Rescued from a local shelter in 2021 after suffering a leg injury, she underwent FHO surgery and has since made a wonderful recovery. Pebbles was adopted out but returned to the rescue last year, so she is once again searching for a forever family to call her own. This calm and mellow pup lights up her days with gentle play and happy romps in the backyard, especially if she has another friendly dog to run around with. Once she feels at home, Pebbles will invite playtime and show her love of belly rubs. She enjoys relaxing in the sun on grass or dirt, taking in the fresh air, and simply being with her favorite humans. Ideal adopters are home most of the day and can offer Pebbles a secure yard and a canine companion. This sweet dog has so much love left to give and is hoping for a peaceful, loving forever home. Pebbles is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and is currently seeking her perfect match in Southern California with an in-person meet and greet, home check, and trial period.
