I'm a young, dashing and sweet Shepherd mix boy. I'm around 1 year and 7 months old and weigh about 61 lbs.
Affectionately nicknamed 'Hanky-Panky' by my volunteer friends for my mischievous ''smiles'', extroverted personality, and enthusiastic tail wags, I'm Love, Affection and Playfulness bundled into a cute, furry package.
The first things you'll notice about me are my soft blond coat, those stunningly intelligent eyes, and my cute floppy ears that can't seem to decide which way they wanna go. LoL!
My volunteer buddies tell me I'm also quite clever and am very eager to please. One of my favorite things to do is running around the yard fetching balls and playing with toys. But once I'm done with my exercise, I'm quite content to hang out in the volunteers' office and get loved and adored on by my hooman fans.
I do tend to "hold it'' in my kennel - so my volunteer friends think I may be house-trained, and I already know how to 'Sit', 'Stay' and 'Come' when asked to. I absolutely love to train with treats and am always up for learning new things if you are willing to teach me. And I'm very gentle while taking treats.
While I've made a lot of progress when I see other dogs at the shelter, I can be selective when it comes to making doggo friends. So, if you have a fur baby at home, please bring them over for a meet-and-greet with me to see if I'd make a pawsome brother.
With my many endearingly enthusiastic qualities, I'll make a wonderful and active companion (maybe a running partner...hint, hint) for the right hoomans, but I may not be a good fit for first time dog owners or families with young children.
So, what do you think? Have I impressed you yet? If you're seeking a fun, active and affectionate furry friend to join you on your walks, cozy up with you on those lazy afternoons, and share in your life's adventures, I'm your boy! Don't wait too long to come see me!

Please browse our adoptable animals. We make every effort to keep our listings updated.
Each of our animals has contact information in the description - either referencing the phone number of the foster volunteer who is fostering the animal or East County Animal Shelter contact information if a shelter animal.
If you have questions, please use the contact information in the description directly. We attempt to forward emails sent to contact@tvar.org to the foster though it is not necessarily before the animal is adopted. Also, volunteers who monitor this email do not know the animals whereas the fosters do!
If a dog or puppy is in foster with TVAR, please fill out an adoption application (available here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/TVAR/Dog). We consider each application and pick the best one for the animal in question. In general, we do not do out of area adoptions. Kittens do not need applications completed - just contact the foster!
If an animal is at ECAS, they have their own adoption process. Please go to ECAS (they are open daily 11:30am to 5:30pm except holidays) to meet the animal and learn about ECAS's adoption process.
All TVAR animals are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, treated for worms and fleas, and microchipped. Felines are FIV/FeLV tested. Many of our pets also come with a "packed bag" that can include a variety of goodies like bedding, food, toys, leashes, and even private training sessions with our professional trainers. Adoption fees vary by species. Our fee range is $120-$350. The foster volunteer can provide specifics for the animals in their care.

More about this rescue

We primarily place shelter animals in foster care of TVAR volunteers while trying to find them permanent homes. Although we do not have a facility of our own, we help over 1000 animals find forever homes yearly through the hard work and dedication of our East County Animal Shelter shelter volunteers who socialize shelter animals daily and assist the public in selecting a pet to adopt.
We have a variety of volunteer programs including a shelter program and four foster programs. We are always looking for more volunteers - especially fosters. If you are interested in volunteering with us, please check out our volunteer page (https://www.tvar.org/volunteer/) for information.
