Kristen Awerbuck, Las Palmas II - Lucy, a six-year-old Aussie Bernedoodle, has a way of turning heads and melting hearts wherever she goes. Her fluffy coat and soulful eyes draw people in, but it’s her resilience and gentle spirit that leave an indelible mark. Lucy isn’t just a pet—she’s a survivor, a healer, and a beloved member of our family.
Diane Downey, Toro Hills Estates - Ripley is my Australian Labradoodle.
Jessica Haynes, Las Palmas II - Daisy #2 is our 12-year-old Dachshund Chihuahua mix. Weighing in a 5 pounds, she keeps her best canine friend, Hucky Finn in check!
David Litman, Indian Springs – Charlotte. She's a Chocolate Lab. We hope you enjoy this photo of Charlotte being feisty at the beach!
Vicki and Martin Schwirzke, Serra Village- Scarlett is our 6-year-old Golden Retriever.
Kennedy Seid, Toro Park - Echo, our sweet dog.
Jane Sotanski, Las Palmas II - Our dog, Hucky Finn, II is almost 3-year-old. He's a Boxer/Lab mix and was rescued from the kill list at the Kern County animal shelter. I love his sensitivity, strength, intelligence, loving nature and that he is always up for an adventure!
Cindy Stuewe, Bay Ridge - Billy, a Schnoodle, is 13. Billy loves to go for rides in the car, especially when he can stick his head out the window!
Cindy Stuewe, Bay Ridge - Angel, a Schnauzer, is 8. Angel was a rescue breeding dog. She had to learn to play and trust but has settled in nicely with her new family!
Cindy Stuewe, Bay Ridge - Sansa, is a Lhasa/Shih Tzu mix, age 9. Sansa is a rescue along with her sister Arya. She's very loveable and a snuggler! She is the princess of the two.
Cindy Stuewe, Bay Ridge - Arya, is also a Lhasa/Shih Tzu mix, age 9. Arya is Sansa's little sister, is very high-spirited, and lives up to her name, named Arya, from Game of Thrones! She loves to hunt and is very curious!
Cindy Stuewe, Bay Ridge - Billy (Schnoodle, age 13), Sansa & Arya (Lhasa/Shih Tzu, age 9), and Angel (Schnauzer, age 8) are quite the "Brady Bunch" pack! We are a blended family, with Billy and Angel moving here from Rochester, NY. They love the beach!
