Stubby (12-01723) is a 4-year-old male Corgi mix. He is smart, curious, energetic, independent and food-motivated. He would do best in a home with older children. Stubby wants all your love, so he would prefer to be the only doggie in the home. He is available at the spcaLA South Bay Pet Adoption Center. spcaLA is an independent nonprofit animal welfare organization that has been protecting the animals and people of Southern California since 1877. The organization is dedicated to the prevention of cruelty to animals through education, law enforcement, intervention and advocacy.

Damon is available for adoption at the Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA, which is an independent, donor-supported, nonprofit agency that provides animal care for abandoned and homeless animals.
