Leashes of Love Rescue, Inc. Please consider volunteering, adopting or fostering today!!!

Leashes of Love Rescue's focus is to save dogs from euthanization from high kill animal shelters in Southern California as well as Owner Surrenders that are unable to keep their pets. Leashes of Love Rescue is an organization dedicated to rescuing homeless and abandoned animals, primarily dogs from local high-kill shelters in Southern California and owners who can no longer care for them. Our goal

is not only to place dogs in well-matched, carefully screened forever homes, but also to educate dog owners about responsible pet ownership, including the importance of spay/neuter, positive behavior training, and good nutrition.

🌈🐾 Until we meet again…

We aren’t even sure where to begin. We rescued Greyson from the Orange County Animal Shelter on 7/24/2018, listed as “rescue only” due to lameness. What that lameness meant, we didn’t know.

The moment he was pulled, he was taken straight to our vet. After extensive diagnostics, we received the heartbreaking news: Greyson had Tetralogy of Fallot, a rare congenital heart defect involving four simultaneous structural abnormalities. It causes oxygen‑poor blood to circulate through the body instead of the lungs.

The bad news? There was no treatment, no surgery, no miracle that could save him. We were told he might have 1–2 years to live. So we made a decision, Greyson would become one of our sanctuary dogs, and we would give him the best life possible for however long he had.

That was in 2018.

Here we are, almost eight years later, and Greyson finally let us know it was time. A compassionate veterinarian came to his foster home and helped him pass peacefully, wrapped in the loving arms of the foster mom who adored him, cared for him, and gave him the life he deserved.

He was a good boy.

We will miss you, Greyson, and we are grateful you allowed us all these years to love you. Your foster mom will miss you deeply, but she knows you are no longer suffering.

Run free, sweet boy.
Run free from the difficulties and pain you endured.
We will miss you always.

RIP Greyson 🌈🐾🌈🐾

Please enjoy a few pictures of his life.......

Meet Matterhorn, the little troublemaker with a heart of gold!

This 4‑month‑old Pug/French Bulldog mix (DNA confirmed!) is living his very best puppy life. His daily routine includes pestering his endlessly patient mom, zooming around the yard like he’s training for the Puppy Olympics, and soaking up every ounce of human affection he can get.

Matterhorn is loving, energetic, and wonderfully loyal — the kind of pup who assumes every person he meets is already part of his fan club. He adores kids, cuddles, and collapsing into a well‑earned nap after a day of adorable chaos.

Like all puppies, he’ll need continued socialization and training to help him grow into the best dog he can be. And because he’s a brachycephalic (snub‑nosed) little dude, he’ll need to stay cool and avoid overheating. A home with another well‑rounded dog would be a huge bonus — he loves having partners in crime.

Matterhorn is vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped. He’ll be neutered when he’s old enough, and a neuter deposit may be required.

If you’d like to meet or adopt Matterhorn, head to LOLR.org and submit an adoption application.

🐾 Meet Bugsy -Playful. Sweet. Full of heart.

Bugsy is a 5 month old female Lab mix (likely to stay on the smaller side) who came to us after her human dad unexpectedly passed away. Despite such a big life change, she’s settling beautifully into her foster home and showing everyone what a joyful little soul she is.

Bugsy is everything you’d expect from a young pup — playful, curious, goofy, affectionate, and always ready for fun. She loves exploring, learning, and being near her people.

🐶 Great With Other Pets
• Dog friendly — she adores other dogs and would thrive with a friendly canine companion to help guide her
• Cat potential — she met a cat at the vet and didn’t react, so with proper introductions, she may do well in a home with kitties too

🏡 Training & Home Needs
Bugsy is 100% puppy, which means she’ll need a home committed to continued training, structure, and patience. She’s already making great progress:
• Potty training — doing really well
• Crate training — settling in nicely
• Leash skills — impressive for a young dog
She’ll blossom in a home that provides consistency, love, and positive reinforcement.

🩺 Vetting
Bugsy comes with a strong start to her health care:
• Up to date on vaccinations
• Dewormed
• Microchipped
• Spay scheduled when age appropriate (a spay deposit may be required)

If you’re interested in adopting Bugsy, please visit www.LOLR.org and fill out an adoption application.

Meet Bugsy, our newest little rescue.

This sweet girl (we think she is Lab mix) came to us after her human dad unexpectedly passed away, and she’s now settling beautifully into her foster home. At just 3–4 months old, she is all puppy, all the time. Playful, curious, goofy, and full of love.

Bugsy gets along wonderfully with other dogs, and we’d love to see her in a home with a friendly canine companion who can help guide her as she grows. She met a cat at the vet and didn’t react, so with proper early introductions, she may do well in a home with kitties too.

She’ll thrive with an adopter ready to give her the training, structure, and affection every young pup needs.

More updates coming soon!

If you’re interested in Bugsy, please submit an application at www.LOLR.org.

Welcome, Bugsy!

🐾 Hey there, I’m Everest! 🐾 I’m a 2 year old, female, 21 pound Pug mix with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wiggling. I just finished raising my adorable puppies, and now I’m ready for my own happily ever after! ✨

I might be a tiny bit shy when we first meet, but give me a minute and (BOOM) I’m your new shadow. I’m a certified Velcro pup who believes personal space is a myth. If you’re looking for a buddy who sticks by your side like glue, I’m your girl. I also wouldn't mind a home with another fur partner.

I love walks (I get excited and might do a little “zoom pull”), and toys are basically the best thing ever. I’m great with dogs, cats, and kids—pretty much anyone who wants to be my friend.

I’m a quiet little lady who rarely barks, and I’ve got a gentle, sweet personality. My only request? Please don’t put me in a crate. I’d much rather be out and about with my people, supervising all activities like the tiny queen I am.

If you want a loyal, snuggly, goofy companion who will adore you endlessly, I think we should meet. 🐶💛
