Love At First Mutt Rescue

Officially Meet LAFM W***y 🐾 German Shepherd · Male · 9-11 Months Old

W***y is a big puppy with an even bigger heart — and after everything he’s been through, he just keeps showing up with love.

Found after being abandoned on Skid Row, W***y didn’t let his past define him. He’s resilient, sweet, and ready to finally have a home to call his own. 💚

Here’s who W***y is today:
He’s playful and energetic — think zoomies, toys, and full-body enthusiasm for life. He needs daily exercise and would thrive with an active family who’s up for hikes, long walks, or training adventures together. He’s loyal to the core, bonds deeply, and is genuinely affectionate — big on snuggles once he warms up.

The good news keeps coming: W***y is good with dogs of all sizes, good with cats (low prey drive!), good with older kids, and even bike-friendly — totally unbothered by cyclists. He already knows his basic commands (sit, stay, come) — this boy is smartand highly trainable.

A few things still in progress: leash manners are coming along nicely ✨, he’s still adjusting to his crate, and yes — he’s very much in land shark mode(teething is real 🦈). He also gets a little excited or nervous sometimes, which can mean the occasional accident — but he’s working on it.

W***y needs an adopter who’s ready to continue his training and grow with him. He’s not a finished product — he’s a bright, loving puppy who just needs someone to believe in him.

If you’re ready for the joy (and fun challenge!) of raising a young shepherd, W***y is your guy. 🖤🐕Please submit an adoption application on our website www.LoveAtFirstMutt.org

ADOPT LAFM HARDY! 🖤 🎃

Hardy is about 4 years old and about 60 lbs. He has been in foster care for a year and a half after being basically shut down in the shelter. He was so fearful/nervous when he first got to his foster home with 💞

Hardy has come so far and can’t wait to continue growing into the best version of himself with the help of his forever family 🤞🏼

Hardy is looking for a forever family who is patient, loving and laid back. A family who is willing to learn with him because new experiences build trust, and someone who can advocate for him and bully breeds ♥️

Hardy is down to be a couch potato or an adventure buddy! He does great in the car and loves to feel the wind through his jowls. He is great on leash and would love a handler who guides him to good boy behaviors. Hardy knows a few commands (ask his foster for more info) and is fully crate trained and potty trained. He is highly food motivated making training him fun and easy to reward!

Hardy is available to adopt in the Long Beach, CA area!! He is currently being fostered by and is available to adopt 🖤 contact either of us with any questions or if you’re interested in Hardy!

Officially Meet LAFM Romeo & Printz 💛🐾

This bonded pair of Shih Tzu boys are the definition of mellow and easygoing. We think they are about 4-6 years old. They’re calm, well-behaved, and absolute pros in the car—road trips are their specialty!
They walk beautifully on leash, rarely bark, and are happiest when they have their own toys to enjoy.
Romeo and Printz are good with kids, dogs and people & have excellent manners. They know commands like sit, stay, and no, and they truly listen. Both are crate trained and potty trained, making them an easy fit for a loving home.
Their favorite thing? Snuggling—either cuddled up together or right next to their favorite person. If you’re looking for two sweet, gentle companions who bring double the love, Romeo & Printz are your perfect match. 💕

If you’re interested in meeting these boys please submit an adoption application on our website www.LoveAtFirstMutt.org
