My story

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

Hello! My name is Meeko and I am looking for my fur-ever home, could it be with you/

I am a very sweet and loving pup. I am 90% deaf but I can read your hand signals and body language when you ask me to do something.

I love short leisurely walks but loves even more lounging on the couch with my peeps - I am a napping professional!

My home would need to be set up to understand my limitations because I am deaf and I will need a solid routine and guidance as well as security when unattended to do my best.

I do great with other dogs who are chill like me and I would be okay with older respectful kids.

I will require grooming and regular vet care but I am totally fine with both, nothing much seems to bother me, I'm pretty much the perfect pup!

I was found as a stray, covered in mats and dirt, with lots of medical issues. The kind people at the shelter thought I would do best with a foster home to heal and my medical problems have now been resolved and I am ready to find my new family.

More about this rescue

Small Breed Rescue of Southern California is an all-volunteer, non-profit, foster based organization funded by donations. We are dedicated to rescuing small breed dogs, small reptiles and select exotic pets primarily from public shelters and other rescues. Being committed to keeping administrative expenses low, virtually every dollar received goes directly to the care of the animals.

Our rescue is uniquely structured to rehabilitate animals who are at high risk of euthanasia due to manageable behavioral challenges, such as dogs who are declining in a shelter environment or reptiles / exotics that have not been properly handled over their lifetime. We develop relationships to accommodate these specific assistance needs, which is what differentiates us from other rescue organizations.

We have assembled a foster team that consists of experienced individuals who bring particular skills from the animal welfare industry. This enables us to grow, educate and enrich our foster community in a manner that supports our specific needs and those of our animals.

Our group remains interested in and committed to the welfare of the animals beyond the adoption process by providing education, training tips, resource references, and an open door policy to our adopters.
