Mission Viejo offering training packages for adoptable dogs – NBC Los Angeles
Puppies are cute and fun, but sometimes they can be handful especially when it comes to active, intelligent breeds.
That’s why the city of Mission Viejo is offering training sessions for certain overly excited puppies and young dogs.
Porter, a 1-year-old German Shepherd mix, and Whisper, a Husky, are two of the adoptable dogs for whom the city of Mission Viejo is offering free training, paid for by DAWG, a non profit that raises funds for animals at the Mission Viejo Animal Shelter.
Porter is ready for next adventure
The 1-year-old pup is already showing intelligence, confidence and courage, according to the city.
Porter, an active boy, would make an “exceptional hiking companion.”
As the pup loves to play with other dogs, families who are looking for a second or third dog would be great for Porter.
“(Porter) would benefit from having a canine friend with a similar temperament and energy,” Kelly Tokarski with the city of Mission Viejo said. “He has been enjoying daily playgroup time with other dogs and loves every minute.”
Whisper is ready to spread love with forever family
Whisper, who arrived at the shelter as a stray in June after being found at a middle school, is loving and vocal as any Husky lovers would know and adore.
The fun, friendly and active pup enjoys receiving back scratches and kisses.
Like Porter, Whisper is available for adoption for only $20 in addition to a free training session.
Interested people can visit Porter and Whisper at the shelter at 28095 Hillcrest to meet Porter.

The Dodgers loaded the bases with one out in the eighth. Ohtani singled, Betts doubled and Freddie Freeman was intentionally walked by reliever Hunter Gaddis. Chris Taylor, who had replaced Hernández, grounded into a double play to end the threat.
Boyd (2-1) allowed one run and three hits in six innings. The left-hander struck out six and walked none.

Bryan Rocchio singled leading off the sixth and one out later Giménez sent Knack’s first pitch into right for a 2-0 lead.
Rocchio added a solo shot off Anthony Banda that landed in the Dodgers’ bullpen for a 3-1 lead in the eighth on a night when the game-time temperature was 86 degrees (30 Celsius). It soared to over 100 (37 Celsius) earlier in the day and as a result the Dodgers are skipping batting practice this weekend because of the unusual triple-digit temperatures..
Knack (2-3) didn’t allow a hit until José Ramírez singled in the fifth. It was just the second baserunner for the AL Central-leading Guardians after Kyle Manzardo walked in the second.
Knack was recalled before the game to make his ninth start of the season for the Dodgers. The right-hander gave up two runs and three hits in six innings. He struck out a career-high eight and walked one.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Guardians: RHP Alex Cobb was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday after developing a blister on his right middle finger.
Dodgers: RHP Gavin Stone (right shoulder inflammation) went on the IL after being the only pitcher to remain healthy most of the season. … LF Hernández has a left foot contusion after being hit by a pitch in the first inning.
UP NEXT
RHP Gavin Williams (3-7, 4.55 ERA) moves up a day to start Saturday in place of Cobb. LHP Justin Wrobleski (1-1, 6.88) comes up from the minors for the third time for the Dodgers, who weren’t sure if he will open or start.
