Meet MISSY, our gentle and loving St. Bernard beauty! 😍

Just like the iconic leading lady in the movie Beethoven’s 2nd, MISSY is a head-turner with a heart of gold.💛 Abandoned by her previous owners, she hasn’t let that dull her loving spirit. She’s now safe and ready to find a forever home that truly deserves her.

True to her breed, MISSY is affectionate and incredibly loyal. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would thrive in a home where she can be part of the family—whether that’s lounging by your feet or joining you on a walk. 🐾 St. Bernards are known for their devotion, patience, and a touch of goofy charm.

If you’re looking for a soulful companion who’s as loyal as they come, MISSY might just be the one.

To apply to adopt MISSY head over to our website for the application. Link in our bio or go to promise4paws.org❣️

✨ FOSTER or ADOPTER NEEDED✨

Meet LILAC, a stunning 2 year-old Lab/Black Mouth Cur mix! 🐾 Isn't she just gorgeous?💓

LILAC's story began in a high-kill shelter in Bakersfield, where she was abandoned and left to an uncertain fate. Thankfully, a kind-hearted Good Samaritan rescued her, and when others couldn't help them, we stepped in to make sure this special girl gets the future she deserves.

LILAC is now ready to find a forever home she can truly count on. She can be shy at first. Once she warms up, LILAC is affectionate and gets along well with other dogs. She is looking for a family who will offer her the love and stability she deserves. Will you be the one to help LILAC bloom? 💛

If you are available to foster, please let us know ASAP! If you have fostered for us before, just send us a DM or text message. If you are new to our rescue, please complete a foster application at our website and send us a message to let us know you would like to foster LILAC. Link in our bio or go to promise4paws.org❣️

‼️ HELP NEEDED FOR THIS SENIOR ENGLISH BULLDOG ‼️

Meet our newest intake — MONTANA, a 9-year-old English Bulldog who was DUMPED ON A STREET CORNER in his crate.

Yesterday, one of our board members stopped for coffee… and ended up saving a life. This sweet boy’s owner tried to surrender him to 3 shelters. When they all said no, she left him on a corner… in a crate.

He’s covered in infections — ears, mouth, skin. He has a huge tumor on his belly and likely a painful bladder infection. It appears that he’s lived outside his whole life, a life full of neglect… until last night.

Last night, he slept inside for the first time. Blankets. A full belly. Pain meds. Warmth. Safety. You guys, he is the SWEETEST boy and just puts his paw on you when he is near! 🥹

Now… we need YOUR help to give him the life he’s never had. He is currently at getting some serious medical attention and TLC.

We’re raising funds for:
🔸Bloodwork
🔸Treatment
🔸Surgery to remove the mass
🔸Pain management

MONTANA deserves a second chance. Will you help us give it to him?

You can donate directly from here or go to the link in our bio. It will take you to our PayPal, Venmo, and website links to donate.
Zelle: [email protected]
Even $5 makes an impact and would be so appreciated!

Thank you for believing in rescue!!

ELLA is affectionate, curious, and happiest when she’s part of the action. She’ll keep you smiling with her playful spirit and warm your heart with her cuddles when the day winds down.

Everyone, please give a big welcome to our newest senior girl, GIDGET! At 10 years old, GIDGET was abandoned in a commercial building in Corona and ended up at the Corona Animal Shelter. Poor GIDGET was so scared! 😟 Through some networking, a former P4P adopter learned about GIDGET and reached out to us for help. Once her stray hold was up our amazing foster and volunteer drove out to scoop her up!

GIDGET is doing amazing in her foster home! 🤩 She is just a doll! Super easy! She may have some blurry vision and not hear perfectly, but GIDGET is quiet, sleeps through the night, and is perfect in her pen/crate. She is housetrained, spayed, and even just had a fresh dental.

GIDGET gets along great with all the dogs in her foster home, and appears to do well with cats, as well. 🐾 She is super sweet and loving, just a great older girl! 💛

✨ FOSTERS NEEDED!✨

We recently helped out in a hoarding case and rescued these 7 pups. They are all terrier mixes, around 20 lbs give or take, and young (six of them are about 10 months old, and one is 2 years old). 🐾

They are currently in boarding, sweet but scared. We urgently need fosters for them, so they can decompress and let their sweet natures blossom, and so they can be seen and adopted.

If you are a current foster and available to help, please DM us here or on our WhatsApp group.

If you are new to fostering and can help, DM us with any questions and complete a foster application on our website. Link is in our bio or go to promise4paws.org

Please share to help us find foster homes for them! 🙏 Thank you! 💛

Meet STELLA, a stunning 2-yr-old Husky/German Shepherd mix looking for a new forever home! 🐾 This playful girl is the life of the party-whether she's zooming around the yard, romping with a canine buddy, or joining you for a walk around the neighborhood. STELLA adores people and thrives on affection, happiest when she's curled up beside you and being part of your everyday moments.

STELLA is crate-trained and fully housetrained. She's smart, affectionate, and with her striking coat and piercing blue eyes, she is sure to turn heads everywhere she goes! 🤩 STELLA would thrive in a home with a big yard, another playful dog, and active, loving humans who are ready for all the joy, snuggles, and goofy antics she brings to the table.💛

Meet CHARLIE! 💫

CHARLIE is a lovable 7-year-old chocolate Lab, Australian Shepherd, and Spaniel mix with a big heart and an even bigger appetite. He’s always up for a cuddle, and happiest when he’s the center of your attention.

Being part Australian Shepherd, CHARLIE has a naturally high energy level and thrives in a calm, structured environment. While he’s great with other dogs and children, chaotic situations—like loud barking, fast movement, or busy car rides—can make him anxious. Because of this, CHARLIE would do best in a peaceful home where he can relax and feel safe.

CHARLIE is a “simple soul”—give him food, love, and a ball to chase, and he’ll be your loyal best friend for life. He doesn’t need constant adventures or walks through town; he’s happiest just being with his person. ❤️

What is CHARLIE’S Dream Home?
He’d be the perfect companion for someone with a quiet lifestyle—ideally an older person with land or a big backyard. CHARLIE would love nothing more than to protect his property, cuddle up in the evenings, and play a good game of fetch during the day.

If you’re looking for a devoted buddy who’s low-maintenance and full of love, CHARLIE might just be your perfect match.

🐾 Looking for Lab lovers! 🐾
⭐ FOSTER or ADOPTER NEEDED⭐

Meet GODIVA! This beautiful chocolate Lab is as sweet as her name 🍫. Used as a breeding dog and then dumped, GODIVA was rescued by . It appears she was also hit by a car; thankfully, her injury will not require surgery, just plenty of rest.

Given all that she has been through GODIVA is still incredibly sweet, just a little love. 💛 She's about 2 years old, currently weighs 45 lbs, and will need help gaining weight. GODIVA absolutely adores children, enjoys being pet, and appears to be housetrained. She is gentle and calm with adults, though she can be a bit nervous around men. She seems to be good with other dogs when properly introduced.

GODIVA is looking for a foster home, or better yet, a forever home! We would love for her to be able to recuperate in a loving home, instead of in boarding. If you can foster, please DM us as soon as possible! If you can foster and haven't already done so, please complete a foster application on our website.
If you would like to welcome GODIVA into a loving forever home, an adoption application is also on our website. Link is in our bio or go to promise4paws.org❣️

✨ COURTESY POST✨

ROCCO and GRACIE are brother and sister who were adopted at 6 weeks of age from the animal shelter at Camp Pendleton. They are terrier mixes, 6½ years old, and weigh 18 lbs each. They have been inseparable since birth. They are in need of a new home as their family is relocating to Europe and cannot take them.

Both dogs are in very good health, active, loving, and housetrained. ROCCO is the athlete and protector while GRACIE loves to sun herself and is a love. They are both very personable with people (children and adults alike), playful, and loyal. They would thrive in a loving home environment where they can continue receiving and providing companionship. They love walks and tummy rubs and sleeping on their heated bed.

Freedom Friday 🎉

We have a very special Freedom Friday for you today! Kazan ( ) is safe!! 🐶👏

This gorgeous senior was dumped at the shelter by his family after 11 years, abandoned to be put down in his old age. He was in a kennel with no visibilty and was overlooked again again. His days were numbered.

But thanks to the incredible networking of and , and because Kenneth Zavayna stepped up to foster him until an adopter was found, Kazan is SAFE. 🙌🏻

We are so glad that this good boy does not have to live out his golden years in a cold and overwhelming shelter. Instead, he gets to know the love and comfort he deserves. Welcome to the good life, Kazan!
