Sunshine Canyon Dog Rescue

Meet Guppy, The Ultimate Velcro Pug.

Guppy is a sleek, shiny black female pug with a huge personality packed into one tiny body. She may be small, but she runs the show with charm, attitude, and enough sass to keep everyone entertained. Equal parts cuddle bug and comedy act, Guppy has mastered the art of being exactly where her favorite person is at all times.

She is not the kind of dog who wants to roam far from home or spend all day roughhousing at the park. Guppy’s specialty is being a loyal sidekick. Wherever her person goes, she is never far behind, happily shadowing them from room to room with her curly tail wagging. Her favorite place in the world is curled up beside someone she loves, preferably while receiving endless belly rubs.

Guppy is famous for her hilarious little pug sounds. Every new room becomes a full investigation complete with dramatic snorts, grunts, and curious sniffing. She approaches life like a tiny detective determined to inspect every corner. Her goofy sound effects make people laugh almost instantly.

Treat time is a full performance. Guppy especially loves jerky treats, although keeping them in her mouth can become an Olympic event. Her tiny curled tongue flips, curls, and works overtime while she concentrates with dramatic seriousness. The head tilts, the determined stare, and the triumphant little snort when she finally succeeds make every snack unforgettable.

Even though she is a professional cuddler, Guppy has a surprisingly athletic side. Out of nowhere, she will launch into wild zoomies through the house, racing around like a tiny black blur before collapsing back onto the couch for another nap. Her welcome-home routine is legendary with full body wiggles, excited grunts, tail wags, and joyful laps around the living room as if she has not seen you in years.

At the end of the day, Guppy’s real superpower is love. She melts into your arms with complete trust and contentment, often letting out soft little pug grunts while she settles in close.

Guppy is pure joy wrapped in shiny black fur and a curly tail. She is loyal, hilarious, affectionate, and impossible not to adore.

100% certified best girl. ❤️

Meet Coco! She is a 2–4 year old Aussie/Border Collie mix looking for her forever home.

She is deaf, but she’s attentive to her people and already knows basic hand signals like sit, stay and down. She’s working on come using a nose to hand touch cue.

Coco is very social and does great with other dogs. She has made lots of friends through her foster home and at the dog park.

She would thrive in an active home with people who want a companion for walks, hikes, water, fetch, and outdoor adventures. She also enjoys downtime and is happy to relax, cuddle, and hang out.

Coco is crate trained but does well out of the crate when left alone. She’s still working on leash control and will need someone willing to continue helping her build confidence and consistency there.

She’s intelligent, affectionate, and has made huge progress with her fosters. Coco deserves a home that understands high-energy working breeds and is ready for a loyal companion with a lot of love to give.

Meet Zevi, a big sweetheart with the cutest snuggle paws.

Zevi is a gentle, loving boy who can be a little shy at first, but once he feels comfortable and settled in, he becomes the ultimate cuddle buddy. He absolutely loves head scratches, cozying up with his people, and going out for his daily walks.

Zevi was rescued from being euthanized in California and is now getting the second chance he deserves. Despite everything he’s been through, he remains incredibly loving, friendly, and eager to connect with people.

On walks, Zevi is very well behaved and doesn’t pull unless he spots a bunny or squirrel he just has to investigate. He’s treat motivated and eager to please, which makes him fun to work with and easy to bond with. He can be a little picky about plain kibble, but add some cheese, wet food, or sweet potato on top and he’ll happily clean his bowl.

Zevi is incredibly friendly and enjoys greeting both humans and other dogs. Because he’s a larger boy, smaller dogs can sometimes feel intimidated by his size, even though he means well. He is both crate trained and house trained and would love a home where he can continue building confidence and soaking up affection.

Meet Zapp ⚡️ professional shadow, loyal sidekick, and full-time lover boy. He spent months in the CA shelter system and was transported between two shelters.

Zapp is a 4 year old German Shepherd who takes “man’s best friend” very seriously. If you’ve ever wanted someone to follow you from room to room like you’re the most important person on earth, congratulations, you’ve found him. He’s a classic Velcro shepherd, your built-in hype man, cuddle buddy, and yes… bathroom security detail. He WILL be there for emotional support.

Despite his devotion, Zapp is a low-key king. He’s happy to lounge all day, hit the trails for a hike, or toss around with his foster brother, but make no mistake, his favorite place is wherever you are. Dogs are cool, but his human is elite.

Zapp gets along great with his foster brother, but he can be a bit selective with new dogs out on walks. He’s not trying to be rude, he just prefers a proper introduction over a surprise meet-and-greet. Think “gentleman with boundaries.”

He’s also what we’d call a luxury travel companion. Calm in the car, true princess passenger energy 👑, great on leash, and incredibly well-mannered at home. Truly a dream roommate.

Zapp’s one “flaw”? He loves hard. Like… really hard. He can get a little anxious when he’s away from his person, because in his world, you are everything. He’s looking for someone who wants that kind of bond, the kind where you’re never really alone again.

If you’re ready for a best friend who will love you endlessly, stick by your side through everything, and make every day feel a little less lonely, Zapp is waiting.
