My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

 


Meet Brownie Nickname- TANK

Tank is exactly what his name suggests — a solid, lovable chunk of a dog with a giant heart and an even bigger appetite. Incredibly food-motivated (you’ve been warned!), Tank isn’t shy about announcing mealtime with a few dramatic, hungry grumbles that are equal parts charming and hilarious.

He gets along beautifully with other dogs. While he’s not one to engage in play, he enjoys their company and is always down for a good cuddle session. Tank is also cat-friendly — though if a cat tries to play, he may give a gentle chase. Thankfully, he responds well to correction and settles quickly.

Due to a neurological condition that causes him to drag his front paws, Tank doesn’t go on walks — but that doesn’t slow him down. He loves chasing a ball around the house (his absolute favorite), napping in the sun, or curling up next to his person. When he gets excited, he often carries something in his mouth — a toy, a shoe, or whatever’s nearby. It’s his way of self-soothing, and he’ll happily drop it when asked.

Tank takes a little time to warm up, but once he trusts you, he’s all in. With a rough past behind him, he’s still learning that people can be kind — and his progress has been nothing short of inspiring. His sweet soul shines through more and more each day.

With a dash of bulldog charm and a whole lot of love to give, Tank is a mellow, affectionate companion who simply wants to be near his people. He’s gentle, loyal, and an absolute joy to know — a true “good boy” through and through.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Potential families are asked to complete or Adoption Application before visiting our dogs. We introduce you and your family including any other dogs/cats in your family to our adoptable dogs. If the meeting is a good match we will schedule a home check to ensure that the home is a good match for the pet that you have selected. You will then be asked to complete our Adoption Agreement and to finalize the adoption there will be a processing fee to adopt a pet from us. All proceeds go directly back to help support our rescue and there are no paid employees so all fees are used for our pets waiting to be adopted.

More about this rescue

We are located in the San Diego area and pull dogs from southern California shelters and we assist families in rehoming their pets so that they don't have to go to a shelter.

I started doing rescue because I couldn't stand to see adoptable dogs being euthanized due to lack of an immediate home. I knew that I could find them good homes.
