Three-year-old Lady Bug had some problems when mange when her dog mom, Beth, and her daughter rescued her. Lady Bug is fine now and is in the process of becoming a therapy dog.
“I have medical problems, and Lady Bug stays near me when she knows I'm not feeling good,” Beth said. When she’s not hanging out with her dog mom, Lady Bug loves her neighbor’s pond.
Sophie is a 5-month-old Shih Tzu. “I love how little her cute little belly is,” says her pet parent. “She is just the sweetest little baby girl.”
Although his dog mom Karin said he was a terror as a pup, Arlo is now 12 years old and “the best boy ever!” Arlo received his Canine Good Citizen certificate before he was a year old. “I swear, he did it all himself,” Karin said. “I was just on the other end of the leash! He teaches all the other Labbies (we have five more) the rules of the house and how to be the best family member they can be."
This is one of Idyllwild's most iconic dogs. You'll see Charlie with her owner driving around or running alongside her owner as he bikes through town. She is sweet as pie. #idyllwildCVB
Cooper is a 14-month-old rescue. “After losing my 8-year-old Doberman to cardiomyopathy last February, I couldn't bear to be without a Dobie," says his pet parent, Robin. “Cooper is the most loving dog I could ask for and fits right in with my five cats, two rabbits, birds, assorted fish, snake and guinea pig. He is truly a friend!”

Sunny is a rescue Shepherd-Jindo mix and certified therapy dog who’s about 8 or 9 years old. “I love it when she's sleeping on the sofa with her belly up as it communicates to me that she is totally relaxed and feels safe,” says Katrin, her dog mom. “Her belly is also so soft and touchable!”
Chloe is a 3-year-old Basset-Lab-something mix. “What I love most about her belly is that it’s so soft and she loves to have it rubbed,” says her dog mom, Susanne. “When I come home at night, she is always there, waiting for a belly rub. Whenever I say ‘belly rub,’ she rolls over on her back.”
Chloe loves to run and go on long walks. She knows exactly where Susanne keeps the dog treats, and can count to 10 for snacks. “And I guess I love her most of all because she loves belly rubs,” Susanne says. “In the morning when we wake up. At night when I get home from work. And, well, pretty much anytime. “
“This is my precious Oreo, who is ornerier than the devil,” says his dog mom, Misty. “She's got a big heart, but loves nothing more than to rile you up. “ Unfortunately Oreo, a Blue Heeler-Lab mix, tore her ACL while playing tetherball, which is why she had to wear a cast. “At the end of the day, when she's almost done tormenting the world, she loves to curl up with you for a love and a snuggle,” Misty said.

Drella is a 4-year-old Standard Poodle who was adopted when he was 11 months old. “Why did we give a girly name to a boy dog?” asks his dog mom, Sharon. "’Drella’ was Andy Warhol's nickname, an apt combination of Dracula and Cinderella, and we thought it suited him.” In this photo, Drella is using a cat tree to shade his eyes. “We love him because he's creative that way,” Sharon says.
Rocky is a 2-year-old Morkie (Maltese-Yorkie) mix who had to wear the cone of shame after he was neutered when he was 12 weeks old. “The pitiful look he had in this picture is how he looked every day while wearing his cone,” says Nicole, his dog mom. “It broke our hearts, but we knew it was for his own good. We knew we had to leave it on or he would get into trouble. He was very mischievous then, and still is. We love this about him; he always makes us laugh.”
Breezeway’s Bella Donna (aka Bella) is a very active 3-year-old Sheltie. “She loves any activity that involves running VERY FAST,” says her pet parent, Dee. “She loves her slingshot ball at the beach, Frisbee anywhere and, most of all, agility. It has been a great challenge learning a sport with a dog that always runs flat out, but it is starting to come together. We had no idea what the words high-drive meant when we took our puppy home, but we learned very fast. I love this ‘alligator’ picture because it demonstrates how she attacks everything she attempts.”
