My story

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

Meet Chikis – A Gentle Soul Looking for Love

Chikis is a stunning 3.5-year-old Cane Corso with a heart as big as her paws. She was rescued from the West Valley Animal Shelter along with her brother, Zeus. Both came in with cherry eye—Chikis in one eye and Zeus in both—but thanks to the love and care they’ve received, they’re now fully recovered and thriving.

At around 96 lbs, Chikis is:
✅ Spayed
✅ Vaccinated
✅ Microchipped

Chikis is a timid, shy girl who simply wants a kind, patient person to show her the world isn’t so scary. She enjoys quiet moments, following her humans around, and curling up at their feet. She’s also playful when the mood strikes—especially if there’s a ball or some water involved!

With her gentle spirit and loving eyes, Chikis is sure to steal your heart. She just needs a chance and a soft place to land.

If you’re interested in adopting or fostering-to-adopt this beautiful girl, please contact the rescue. Chikis is ready to meet her forever family! ❤️

Go meet their pets

Most of my pets are with the foster in Tijuana ( Mexico). I have 1-2 fosters in USA but they have been busy lately. If anyone is interested in adopting one of my rescue dogs they get transported to San Diego and I pick them up and take them to their new owner and they get adopted. I haven't had an adoption event yet but if I do in the future will be at Pet Food Express because I am a rescue partner with them.
I also had some puppies rescued within California

More about this rescue

I fostered for a rescue for about a year. 4 of my rescue puppies( siblings) had Parvo and one didn't make it and rest ended up in the hospital. After being treated and survived Parvo they came back to me to foster them for 2 weeks before adoption. I ended up adopting one of the puppies ( foster fail) and I opened my rescue because of him and he is my rescue logo too.I want to save dogs and treat them and give them a forever home. Give them a second chance same way my foster fail had a second chance of living.
