Kobe James

Weight: 30 lbs
Age: 4 years old
Gender: Male
Hello fellow fur families! I've always had a love for dogs, having grown up with them my entire life. I've had a Labrador-Golden Retriever mix and a Pit Bull, and now I’m the proud dog mom of an adorable little French Bulldog. I work a few nights as a nurse during the week and some weekends, but my free time is spent with my family, enjoying walks, exploring local parks, or visiting the beach. Our home is surrounded by beautiful parks and outdoor walkways, and we have a cozy patio perfect for relaxing. I have two wonderful children, ages 12 and 13, and a playful French Bulldog who loves making new furry friends. I've also had the pleasure of hosting dogs before and truly enjoy providing a safe and loving environment for them. I would love to get Kobe some new fur friends to play with and enjoy our outings together. I’d love to hear more about your dog, especially if they have any special needs or preferences. We consider our pets part of the family and are dedicated to ensuring that both you and your pet feel welcome and safe 😊

mocca
Irvine, CABreed: mixed pitbull
Weight: 60 lbs
Age: 3 years old
Gender: Female
Hi everyone, its Karen and Mocca here😋 Mocca is a female mixed brindle pitbull who loves to play and eat. She is the biggest ball lover and would do anything for it. She can also be your sous chef whenever you are cooking hehe. She is good with dogs, but they have to be introduced slowly. She also gets excited when she sees a cat or a squirrel, so when going out for walks, I suggest to be wary of the surrounding and if you saw it first say ‘no’ and she’ll understand☺️

Age: 4 years old
Gender: Male
Charlie and I live in the Woodbridge section of Irvine. He is a sweet, goofy labradoodle. I work from home so he is used to having people around. He grew up with my sisters dog a mini goldendoodle. He plays well with other dogs, loves to run around with children and in the house he is very chill. He has a sweet personality and temperament. He has been boarded in others homes. I travel for work and pleasure so I'm looking forward to being a part of this fantastic group knowing that my fur baby is being loved and cared for by other animal lovers. Charlie loves sleepovers both at his house and his fur friends.

Luna
Irvine, CABreed: Siberian Husky
Weight: 40 lbs
Age: 6 years old
Gender: Female
Hello there. My doggo’s name is Luna. I honestly think she’s more of a cat than a dog. Pretty docile, and doesn’t care for pets, but will let you know when she wants to be pet. She gets excited meeting other dogs, but sometimes cautious at first, or something likes to hang out alone. We do go to dog parks, but I think she goes more for the open grass then play time. She’s super chill and an easy doggo, but sheds here and there like all huskies do. She’s also a picky eater, but very good driven.

Lola
Irvine, CABreed: Australian Shepherd
Weight: 40 lbs
Age: 2 years old
Gender: Female
Lola is a 1.5 year old Aussie puppy! She is very playful but also loves taking naps. She absolutely loves playing fetch and especially loves chasing and chewing on her toys. She is a medium energy dog that needs both play time and daily walks (30min-1hr). She is fully potty trained (will ring bells to alert she wants to go out) and crate trained (will stay in crate with no issues during the day (max 4 hours). We leave her un-crated in our home while at work or gone for up to 5 hours but we would feel more comfortable if she is in her crate during any time you need to leave. My fiancé and I have been in OC for almost 2 years and have a great apartment that is next to a ton of parks and a great walking trail. We love taking our dog Lola out with us on walks, to the beach, or to run free in the nearby areas. I work hybrid/remote so am almost always home with Lola - she is a great dog and it gives me a chance to take her out whenever needed for bathroom breaks and walks.
