🐶 Adoptable Pet of the Week

Meet David 💙 — our gentle 5-year-old Cane Corso boy with a heart as big as his paws. Neutered and fully up to date on all his shots, David is completely ready to go home to his forever family.

David’s story is one of survival and hope. After being heartlessly dumped in the desert, he had to fend for himself — yet he never lost his sweet and gentle spirit. With time, patience, and love, David has blossomed into a dog who adores people and is grateful for every kindness shown to him.

Now he’s ready for what he’s been waiting for all along: a family of his very own. Could you be the one to write David’s happy ending? 🐾❤️

💡 Did You Know?

Just because you’ve owned a home before doesn’t mean you’re out of first-time buyer territory! 🏠 Many programs still consider you eligible—and that can mean big benefits like lower down payments or special financing options.

Fontana Edition

Did you know that Fontana is the birthplace of rock legend Sammy Hagar? Born here in 1947, Hagar grew up to become “The Red Rocker,” selling millions of records and earning worldwide fame as the lead singer of Van Halen.

From the Inland Empire to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, his journey shows how local roots can lead to global impact. Next time you hear “I Can’t Drive 55” or a classic Van Halen anthem, remember — one of rock’s greatest voices started right here in Fontana!

A hometown legend — Fontana gave rise to a voice that shook the world of rock.
