Story
How this pet arrived:This pet was brought in by their previous owner on June 19, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you: If there were a test to determine the probability of this sweet boy stealing your heart, Ace would, well, ace it! Ace has personality in spades and is always up for a game of fetch. While in a foster home, Ace got along well with the resident dogs and loved playing with his ball, indoors and out. His previous owner reports that he loves children and is happy simply spending time with his people. Ace would thrive best with a family willing to support him through his senior years, including following up with a neurologist for some instability in his hind legs. He also came to us with a chronic eye condition that required removal of one eye and will need management with daily eye drops in his remaining eye going forward. If you're ready to give this loving boy the golden years he deserves, please speak with our team today! At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed/neutered. This pet is now ready for adoption! Primary Color: Brown Weight: 65.25 Age: 9yrs 4mths 1wks

Story
Enzo is a tender, affectionate and friendly boy but also shy. Calm and submissive temperament. He gets along perfectly with other dogs, cats and even children of all ages.

He may be shy at first but once he gains confidence you will meet a very sweet dog who will follow you everywhere. He loves eating treats, taking naps in the sun, taking quiet walks, and cuddling with each other. It is not destructive or bite things. You can put clothes on him or leave him with a harness without problem. He knows how to sit, wait for his food and walk on a leash. He has experience living with other dogs of different ages and sizes, both females and males, and with cats. The $350.00 adoption fee covers the following: Transport to San Diego, CA. Spay/Neuter. All vaccines up to date. Deworming (puppies 2 sets). Flea medication up to date. Tick control up to date. Microchip. Microchip registration to new owner paid for. Collar. Temporary leash.

Story
FOREVER FOSTER or ADOPTER WANTED! Bridget is a goofy 7-8 year old Boxer mix who weighs about 55 lbs. She loves meeting new people and wiggles her whole body with excitement. Treats are the only thing Bridget loves even more than people. Bridget enjoys playing with other dogs but she knows what she likes and can be a picky lady with other dogs.Bridget is fully potty trained and able to be left alone during the day. She would love a home where she can play hard and then nap after. Bridget would do well in a home with kids over 5 since she might accidentally knock over smaller children while playing.Fill out an adoption application directly on our website at www.lionelslegacy.org

Story
Meet Nora! 🐾 Scheduled to be euthanized at an Imperial County shelter, Nora was saved in the final hour when a loving San Diego foster stepped up to give her a second chance at life. Nora is a gentle, sweet Mastiff mix with an adoring squishy face that will melt your heart. She has adapted smoothly to home life, getting along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and kids. While she’s currently working on building her confidence in new or loud environments, her calm, affectionate nature shines bright when she’s with her people. Here’s what makes Nora so special: House-Trained & Crate-Learning: As with any pup the early days of figuring out a potty routine can be a working progress, Nora has only had a few indoor accidents mostly due to her acclimating to her foster home and picking up a routine. She is also learning her crate can be a cozy and comfortable space. Low-to-Moderate Energy: Nora isn't a high-energy pup, leading us to believe she is around 2 years old or slightly older. Her idea of a great day involves cozy snuggles and splashing around in the kiddie pool, she also enjoys playing with her toys Build & Size: She is currently working on gaining a few much-needed pounds and will ideally land at a healthy 65 lbs. Nora is looking for a patient, loving forever family to help her continue building her confidence and shower her with the love she deserves. Apply to adopt Nora today at Amazing Strays Rescue!
