Interested in adopting a pet — or just looking at some lovable pups up for adoption? There are dozens of great dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Long Beach.

Animal shelters and pet rescue groups work hard to care for unhoused pets and connect them to loving homes. Hoodline used data from Petfinder to power this roundup of dogs currently available for adoption.

(Details like pet availability, training, vaccinations and other features are based on data provided by Petfinder and may be subject to change; contact the shelter for the latest information.)

Rockie is a dog who could someday do something heroic, like rescue a baby from a well... Once socialized, he would be great at agility or some kind of program where he can use that brain, energy and strength.

I'm good with other dogs, adults and kids. I've been potty trained so I won't have any accidents in the house and I'm perfectly comfortable being home by myself when you're away from home.

I'm an excellent copilot and enjoy car rides. I'm also crate-trained and working on learning my commands. I'm friendly with dogs, cats and people. I can be a little cautious to start, but with lots of treats and a calm environment, I do pretty well.

I'm a kind, friendly boy who enjoys going on walks. I'm a good listener and while I get a little over-excited around new dogs, my foster dad says I'm not aggressive when I see them. I'm not super into toys or fetch, but I'm definitely an expert at curling up at my human's feet for some quality time.

Just like my name would suggest, I'm a squishy, fun-loving, snuggly, happy dog. I love short walks and I'm good on the leash... I love people more than other dogs, but I can coexist peacefully with other dogs with proper introductions.
