MEET Beau - IN TREATMENT

In medical treatment, but ready for a forever home

✨ Meet Beau ✨


Beau is a 2-year-old Frenchie boy with the sweetest eyes and the gentlest soul.

Like so many of our rescue dogs, Beau came from a high-kill shelter, and his condition was heartbreaking. He was severely emaciated—skin and bones—and unable to eat. 💔

But Beau is a fighter.


With love, patience, and proper care, he is now eating well, gaining weight, and growing stronger every day. Watching his transformation has been nothing short of incredible.

And behind that fragile beginning… is the most beautiful personality.


Beau is:

🐾 Extremely sweet and gentle

🐾 Playful—he loves his toys and is starting to enjoy life again

🐾 Great with other dogs—he thrives around furry friends

🐾 Very cuddly—he just wants to be close to his person

🐾 Quiet and calm—he rarely barks

🐾 Crate trained and doing wonderfully


What Beau wants most now is something he’s never truly had…

💛 His own family.


A home where he can feel safe, loved, and cherished every single day.

After everything he’s been through, Beau deserves a soft place to land—and someone to remind him that he will never be hungry or alone again.


Beau is ready to be your Forever Friend.

💛 Rescue. Heal. Love. Repeat

MEET LUCA

Ready to Adopt!

 42 pounds, eight months, gets along with other dogs, in training progress, but doing very well ! 


Luca has come such a long way.

When he arrived, he was facing euthanasia at the shelter with bilateral pneumonia. He was emaciated, weak and scared of his own shadow. He would cower at everyday sounds, sudden movements and the uncertainty of the world around him.

Today, Luca is getting stronger every day. He has gained 15 pounds, is healing beautifully and is beginning to understand that people can be kind. He is gentle, loving and incredibly sweet. Despite whatever he endured in his past, Luca still has a soft heart and a quiet desire to trust again.

Luca is a survivor. His future looks bright, happy and full of possibility, but he needs people willing to be part of that future.

Fostering or adopting a dog like Luca truly saves a life. Shelters are overflowing, and dogs who are sick, scared or shut down often do not get the chance they deserve. A foster home gives them safety, comfort, time to heal and the chance to show who they really are.

Luca is proof of what love, medical care, patience and a safe place can do. He went from forgotten and at risk to hopeful and thriving. Now he is ready for the next chapter with a foster or forever family who will continue showing him that he is safe, loved and finally home.

Please consider fostering or adopting. You may not change the whole world, but for one dog like Luca, you can change everything.LUCA IS IN URGENT NEED OF A FOSTER! 


Sweet Luca needs a foster home while he recovers from a respiratory infection. He’s receiving veterinary care and is improving, but what he needs most right now is a quiet, comfortable place to rest, recover, and feel safe.


Luca is an incredibly sweet, gentle, loving boy who has been through a lot. He doesn’t need much, just a cozy place to sleep, some love, and someone willing to give him the time he needs to get healthy.


Because he is recovering from a URI, a home without other dogs would be ideal for now so he can rest and avoid exposing another dog.


Forever Friends Dog Rescue will provide his medical care and support during his recovery.


If you can open your home to Luca, even temporarily, you would be giving this boy a safe place to heal. 

Hugo

Available Today

Meet Hugo, an adorable 8-month-old Frenchie with a heart as big as his personality.


Hugo was formerly a stray left at a high-kill shelter in the Inland Empire, and now he is ready for the life he deserves. He is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and loving. Hugo loves to cuddle, give kisses, and stay close to his people.


Hugo is getting neutered, is microchipped, and up to date on his vaccinations, so he is fully prepared to settle into his forever home. He has received the medical care needed to start this next chapter healthy, happy, and ready to be loved.


He behaves wonderfully with other dogs and absolutely loves people. Despite his rough start, Hugo is happy, social, and eager to be part of a family.


Hugo is looking for a warm bed, a loving home, and a family who will cherish him forever. If you are looking for a devoted little companion who will shower you with affection, Hugo may be your perfect match.


Rescue. Heal. Love. Repeat
