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 3mths 0wks

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.

🌟 Meet Drew: Your Future Velcro Best Friend! 🌟 Breed: Boxer (White) Age: 5–6 Years Old Personality: Sweetheart, eager to please, loyal shadow Location: San Diego, CA (Rescued from Imperial County) 🐾 Drew's Story This resilient, gentle boy was found as a stray in Imperial County, but he has left his past behind and is safe in San Diego looking for his true forever home. Despite whatever he’s been through, Drew has maintained an incredibly friendly, loving disposition. He is a total sweetheart whose main goal in life is simply to please his people. 🩺Drew was recently diagnosed with EPI (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency). This just means his pancreas doesn’t digest food properly on its own. The great news? It’s incredibly easy to manage! He just needs a simple enzyme powder mixed into his meals so his body can safely gain weight. 🥰 The Ultimate "Velcro Dog" If you’re looking for a loyal companion, Drew is your guy! In true Boxer fashion, he loves to be right where the action is and will happily follow you from room to room. He’s a built-in shadow who just wants to love and be loved. 🐕 Social Life & Training Drew has a very friendly demeanor. Like many Boxers, he can occasionally be a bit bossy when meeting new dogs, but he corrects easily and genuinely enjoys company. He is currently working hard on his leash manners and is thriving as he gets used to a structured crate routine. 🏡 What Drew Needs Drew arrived into rescue significantly underweight. He needs a patient, loving home where he can safely gain some weight, enjoy nutritious meals, and finally learn what it feels like to be completely spoiled and pampered. Ready to open your heart and home to Drew? Fill out an adoption application today and give this sweet boy the happily-ever-after he deserves!
