Featured Rescue Pup

Meet Artemis. This beautiful blue boy was found on the streets of LA - clinging to life. Now he’s living it up in his foster home and waiting to meet you.

He is a 1-2 year old pitbull who is good with dogs, great with kids, quick, trained, and house trained. He is such a good dog, and he has been patiently waiting for a forever home to call his own.

Please consider filling out an application for him so he can have his fairytale ending.
