Story
Luna and Bella are both very sweet girls, both under 1. They both know how to sit and are crate trained. Both of them have a strong prey drive that could be very handy for hunting. They both also love to cuddle, are very playful, and have massive training potential. We would love for them to go to a home that has some experience with big dogs in general. They do know how to walk with a leash but tend to pull so we put a head harness on them. We will include their food bowls, crates, food container and outside bed. We sadly can’t keep them because we have 3 small dogs and are unequipped for their energy levels. They are both neutered, microchipped and all vaccines are up to date including rattlesnake. Please contact me for more information about them. Our location is in southern California. Chula Vista, CA

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Check Me out !****COURTESY POST**** Meet Baby Girl, a delightful young dog who was surrendered by her family due to their inability to care for her and concerns about her weight gain. After her arrival, it was discovered that she has Megaesophagus (MEG), a condition that necessitates the use of a special chair during mealtime to aid in her digestion and weight retention. Now, at approximately 1.5 years old and believed to be a Belgian Malinois mix, Baby Girl is thriving and has successfully gained weight. She would thrive best in a home without other pets, where she can be the sole focus of her family's affection. With her high energy levels typical of her breed, she needs an active household that can keep up with her spirited nature. Baby Girl has been making great strides in her training classes, enhancing her social skills. Could she be the perfect companion for you? Please click HERE, if you'd like to meet Baby Girl! Baby Girls is also looking for a foster, if interested in fostering her please click HERE! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 10, 2025, 10:30 pm

Story
I may be getting on in years, but I like to think I’ve aged into a fine old shepherd. A little slower on the legs, sure, but richer in wisdom and far more appreciative of the small joys in life. These days, nothing brings me more contentment than settling in with my people, letting the world quiet down around us. I’ve learned the art of calm. Oh, and treats. I enjoy them with the reverence of someone who knows each one is a gift: the crunch of a biscuit between my teeth, the gentle hand that offers it. I like to think my presence keeps the energy grounded. I’m not here to herd anymore, not in the old sense, but I still guide the mood of the home, reminding them to slow down, to take a moment, to just be. If my tail thumps a bit when they sit beside me that’s just my way of saying I’m happy right where I am. Growing older has its aches and limits, but it’s also given me this: a softer life, a calmer pace, and the company of the people I love. And for me, that’s more than enough.

Story
We adopted Laika at 3 month old from the San Diego Humane Society. She is a mini German Shepherd and is only about 25 to 26 pounds. She is 2 years old now and is a fun, lovable, shy pup. She is crate trained, and follows simple directions like sit and wait. She is protective and sweet and it does well with kids. Laika has anxiety and has trouble when outside around loud noises. Needs an experienced owner as she does have social anxiety. Not a huge adventure dog, but remains her kind self. Although we love Laika, she needs open space where she can run and fully have the opportunity to develop.
