Patrick and his two best dogs, Sora the doberman and Ellie the Pitbull mix.

Hello! My name is Patrick, I’m the founder of St.Tropawz.

From a young age I’ve had a passion for working with animals. I currently have two fur babies of my own, a Doberman named Sora and an Australian Shepherd mix named Ellie. I’m an active person so if you’re furry friend has a lot of energy to burn, I’ll be happy to take them on walks and play with them. My home has ample space and a large backyard enclosure with artificial turf. We understand the difference in dog temperaments and our team can fully accommodate any breed. I have experience working with dogs of all ages as well as special needs dogs that require an extra bit of love. My 13 year old Australian Shepherd is Diabetic so I administer 2 insulin shots daily. Any extra care your dog may require, we’ll be happy to provide.

I'm looking forward to becoming a special part of your dog's stay and providing you with the assurance that your dog is happy, loved, and most importantly, safe!

Goose the Golden Retriever being fostered by St. Tropawz until he finds his forever home.

Finding a new home for Goose the Golden Retriever.

Meet Goose, the newest addition to our family! Goose came into our care through a friend of a friend. Originally adopted by well-meaning parents, Goose's boundless energy proved too much for their lifestyle. Seeking a better fit for Goose, his owner reached out to us initially for boarding, but soon realized fostering to rehome might be the best option.

Already trained by his previous owner, Goose was ready for a loving family. It didn't take long before a wonderful family caught wind of Goose's story. With a young boy in need of an emotional support animal, Goose's joyful spirit was just what they were looking for. It's no surprise that everyone falls in love with a Golden Retriever, and Goose and his new family quickly became the best of friends.

Gypsy the black Lab. From Arizona to California, to a forever home.

Meet Gypsy, a beloved member of our extended family! Originally a sporadic visitor from Arizona, Gypsy's visits to our facility became more frequent after her owner relocated to Los Angeles. However, as life unfolded, Gypsy's owner found herself facing difficult circumstances. Unable to provide for both Gypsy and her child, she reached out to us for assistance.

Moved by Gypsy's plight, we welcomed her into our care with open arms, determined to find her a loving forever home. It wasn't long before a caring family expressed interest in Gypsy. After a successful two-week foster trial, it was clear that Gypsy had found her perfect match. Now, she resides happily in her forever home, bringing joy and companionship to her new family.

Gypsy's story is a testament to the power of compassion and second chances, reminding us of the transformative impact that love and kindness can have on the lives of our furry friends.
