COCO - ADOPTABLE

Meet our ever first Great Dane mix, beautiful Coco!

1 yr old | Great Dane Mix | 77 lbs 

 Coco is everyone’s childhood fantasy - a Great Dane - with likely a Lab or Shepard mix (perhaps you could say ‘condo-sized Dane’!). 

Having just turned 1 year old, she has a young puppy-like demeanor, always playful with a rambunctious spirit.  Coco has no issues meeting people when given a moment to take them in. Long legged and lanky, she easily could keep pace with an adventurous lifestyle, is able to relax and chill with guidance, and will always choose silly over serious.  

Coco could be in a home with another dog with the right temperament and structure, or would be perfectly happy as an only dog. Cats likely not (at least for the time being while she’s young), small dogs probably not because she's so large and generally unaware of her body! 

 Coco could be completely fine in a home with older children/teens - no small or young children due to her size, strength and lack of body awareness.  

Coco is very trainable and THRIVES under guidance and structure. As she likely has some working dog genetics in her mix, she does very well when given a task, like the splendid restful command of heel or place. She currently completing a board and train program compliments of a generous donor and she needs an owner who can continue her valuable skillset so that she can live her biggest life. 

 She could live contently in an apartment or  house - city or rural - she is more than (sometimes too) happy to be energetic and active, but also knows how to rest and go with the flow.  

She is fully crate trained, is smart as a whip, and has a very solid start to her obedience underway. She does not show any signs of resource guarding or separation anxiety.  

Coco will require a home with folks who are comfortable and confident handling larger dogs with boisterous energy, or someone who is eager to learn. Her new training and skills have opened a whole new world for her and she’d be best served by those who are happy to carry on with all the benefits they bring her. 

 Coco is a big gorgeous girl, who is never short on silly and spunky. This energetic gal is a pleasure to spend time with and there’s no doubt she’ll find folks out there who are a great fit for her.

Meet Ravi – A gentle soul looking for his second chance

🧡 Age: 1.5 years | Breed: Terrier x Collie Mix | Weight: 45 lbs | Energy: Medium

Say hello to Ravi, our last-minute miracle pulled from a high-kill shelter just in time. Behind his soft eyes is a heart full of hope and tenderness, waiting for the right person to show him how good life can truly be.

Ravi is incredibly sweet and gentle, with a soft muzzle he loves to nuzzle in for affection. He’s fully crate trained, wonderfully quiet indoors, and walks calmly on leash with the right gear. While the world is still a little overwhelming for him, he grows braver every single day.

This shy boy would do best in a calmer environment outside the buzz of downtown life—think peaceful neighborhoods, nature trails, and a home full of patience and love. Ravi is great passing people on walks and shows no leash reactivity. He may do well with another calm dog, and children 12+ who respect his space.

His current favorite pastime? Cozying up and simply being home. But as he gains confidence, we think he’ll learn to love walks, hikes, and gentle adventures by your side.

Ravi could thrive in a low-rise apartment, townhome, or house—with someone who’s ready to offer the steady love and slow pace he needs to blossom.

📥 Think you’re the calm, kind soul Ravi’s been waiting for?

He does get a bit excited around people or other dogs and may pull to say hello, but he’s a fast learner and already shows signs of recall.

One of Kimo’s favorite things in the world? Fetch. Whether it’s a tennis ball or a squeaky toy, he’ll dash off to retrieve it and drop it gently at your feet—every single time. It’s the kind of sweetness that makes your heart melt.

While he’s doing well with crate training and will go in on command, Kimo would be happiest in a home where he can roam freely, stretch out for naps, and soak up all the attention. He’s gentle with other dogs, great with kids, and takes treats like a true gentleman.

If you’re looking for a devoted, mellow, and lovable companion who will be by your side for every cuddle and play session, Kimo is your guy. He’s ready to give his whole heart to a family who will love him right back.

Meet Porter!

Porter is a striking 2 year old long-coated Doberman with a big personality to match his large frame (65-70 lbs). 

He was surrendered in California after his previous owner struggled with his training, but since then, he has made great progress with us at BFF.

Porter is a fun-loving, goofy dog who will thrive with an experienced and confident handler—someone dedicated to continuing the structured training he has received so far. 

His leash skills are excellent, and he’s fully housebroken and crate-trained. He knows his basic obedience commands and does not exhibit resource guarding or separation anxiety.

Ideal home for Porter: 

✅ No young kids
❓ Cats are uncertain (we’re open to testing, but suspect he may not be a good fit)
🚫 No other dogs at this time
🏡 A standalone home or townhome (no apartments/condos)—not because he needs a yard, but because elevators might be challenging for him.

Porter tends to feel more secure around women, and we have been working on building his confidence with men. With continued patience and structure, he will continue to grow into the incredible companion we know he can be.

As a Doberman, Porter exhibits many breed-typical traits—Dobermans were originally bred for working roles such as police, military, and service work, which makes them highly intelligent and driven. Because of this, Porter needs a committed owner who understands and respects the needs of a working breed.

We are deeply invested in Porter’s success, so we are looking for an adopter who is equally committed to his ongoing training and well-being. 

If you think you might be the right match, please fill out an application below—we’d love to see if you and Porter are meant to be!

Meet Maurice – A Resilient, Loving Companion

Maurice is a 3-year-old Maltese mix with a heart full of love and a story of survival. Found on the streets of California in terrible condition, he was so severely matted that he could barely see. After receiving much-needed medical care, Maurice’s sweet personality began to shine.

Despite his tough past, Maurice is a playful and affectionate little guy. He adores mealtime and won’t hesitate to give you a little bark to remind you when it's time to eat. He loves cuddles, enjoys being pampered during baths and trims, and is learning to socialize with other dogs. City noise doesn’t bother him, and he thrives in a calm, low-activity environment.

Maurice has been diagnosed with heart disease and is on lifelong medication, with a prognosis of up to two years. He is now searching for his last forever home—a safe and loving place where he can be cherished for the rest of his days. If you're looking for a sweet, easygoing companion to shower with love, Maurice is ready to be by your side.

Could you be the one to give Maurice the love-filled home he deserves? ❤️

Meet Krytal, the happiest dog on Earth!   Krystal is a 1-year-old female Yorkie/Maltese mix weighing in at 14 lbs.

 She is a ball of energy and endless love; this girl is AMAZING! Krystal was found neglected & abandoned, living behind a restaurant, scavenging for food. It became very apparent that she had a home at some point as she is so loyal and trusting with people. 

She has traded in her matted dread locks for a more sleek, clean and comfortable style. She loves to run & play in the yard and her recall is impressive. 

There have been no issues interacting with other dogs & cats at her foster home or on leash. She would love to have another doggie sibling however she would also be fine as an only dog. 

This girl adores children and will provide endless kisses & laughter. Car rides are not an issue; she rides in her crate quietly and is always excited for her next adventure. 

Krystal LOVES her food and treats, which will be a great asset for training. She is working on basic obedience and is picking things up very quickly! Housetraining is going well, not quite 100% mastered but getting close. 

She sleeps in her crate at night ever so quietly and as soon as she hears you in the morning you will hear the tail thumping as she tries to contain her excitement of the new day! 

Dog sports, hiking, beachcombing, sunbathing, camping, Krystal is up for it all! She cannot wait to meet her new family and share her exuberance for life.

Lab mix - 2 years old - 50 lbs

Marie is truly the most special girl who has had a rough past. Because of this, Marie is quite shy and nervous when she meets new people or is in a new environment.

However, once Marie warms up she is just so full of love and is the sweetest girl! 

Marie absolutely loves other dogs and she has been so amazing with her four other foster dog siblings. She has also met several cats and horses and done so well with them as well!

As mentioned Marie is quite nervous when meeting new people so a home with no kids would be preferred as well as someone with dog experience who can be patient with her and show her that the world is not so scary. Marie thrives when another dog is in the house, so she would love to have a friend at her new forever home! 

Marie truly is such a special girl. She makes it all worth it when you see how much love this girl has to give to her forever family.

Meet our handsome Cooper!

Frenchie mix - 20 lbs - 2 years old

Cooper is a Frenchie Mix with so much love and energy. He is around 2-3 years old and loves to play with his toys and cuddle. 

Cooper is a cautious boy, he is nervous of loud noises and large dogs, but once he realizes what’s going on he relaxes. He is so resilient.

Although he gets along with dogs his own size and plays well with them.

Cooper suffers from anxiety which makes him need some extra attention. He does something called “fly biting” where he bites the air as well as his little paws when he’s anxious. This mostly happens at night. He also seems to be scared of the dark, so a home with a well lit backyard would be best for him. 

Cooper is very well potty trained and exceptional in his crate.

 He sleeps through the night without a peep in his crate and at times prefers to hangout in it during the day on his own, that is when he’s not cuddling. 

 Cooper has been tested with older children and is great with them. He is an energetic boy and does best when he gets a good 30-45 minute walk every day. He would be the perfect hiking companion. 

He has had a tough beginning to life but still continues to trust and have so much love to give. 

Cooper is ready to find his forever person.
