When you share your adoption story with us, we’ll send you free deals on pet parent favorites like Greenies, Royal Canin, Whistle smart devices, Wisdom DNA tests, and more.
Petter is a male Labrador mix, approximately 4-5 years old, 25-30 lbs. He is neutered and fully vaccinated.
Rosy Zavala (A team member of Consuelo, our lead rescuer) took him from the pound and cared for him as they were going to put him down because of the problem with his leg. Petter has a small disability in that he limps on his right back leg. However, he is not in pain and he is just as active as he can be, full of energy and playful.
He has been in foster care now for many years, but we feel that he deserves the opportunity to have a forever home with someone who is loving and patient. We’ve been successful with other dogs who had similar issues that were adopted by the right persons who love them and care for them in spite of their disabilities. We just know that Petter will bring joy to any family who chooses him. Petter is ready for his forever home.

We take great care in being sure that each adoption is a good fit for both the animal and the adopter. Once the adoption is finalized, after a 1 week trial period, we follow up with the adopter (sometimes more time is needed) making sure that the pet is well adjusted to its surroundings and its new owner.
We also ask that they take the adopted pet to their Vet to have the pet checked out even though we have done so prior to the adoption.

More about this rescue
The greater Tijuana area of 3 million people and thousands of abandoned street animals needs more individuals doing rescues and organizing neighborhood spay events. FHSTJ Does not run a shelter. Instead, it supports grass roots organizations and individual rescuers. This allows us to serve many more animals at any given time, due to this unique system of support. This is accomplished by giving financial support to rescuers and groups which could not function without the generosity of FHSTJ donors.
In summary, we support street rescues, mass spay and neuter clinics, pet owners with extremely limited resources needing veterinary care for their animals as well as public education programs, adoption programs for rescuers, and a pet food distribution program for animals in need.
