Story
Jenny is friendly, playful and energetic but is just as happy chilling on her bed by you wherever you are. She would more than love to curl up on the couch with you too, if you let her. Adventures and car rides are easy, some “head out the window” time, some snoozing time and if you go in the store for a minute, she’ll be standing up waiting for you to get back. Even when we go get groceries, she pays no mind to nice folks that load up our loot. This girl is also very smart, looks for approval, has fallen in with routines well and learned, or is relearning, obedience quickly! We’ve been working on her excitement to run through the door before you and she has learned quickly to wait and look for the ok. Her adopter or foster must be diligent to keep her safe from getting out open doors or gates and into mischief about own. She does have a ‘lil rap sheet with the county so that has to be accounted for. She is fine in the house alone, not destructive at all. She just snoozes or looks out the window when she hears noises. She loves to play and run and is super-fast in zoomie mode! She is agile as well and a great jumper! Her toy play knowledge is minimal so she can be taught lots of good play habits. She has not shown any food, toy or treat guarding towards humans but is untested with other dogs so far. She is treat motivated but once she learns the command she’s just as happy with affection reward alone. When she knows she’s a good girl she wiggles all over. Martini is housebroken. She is good during a bath and likes to be brushed too. On walks she’s fairly non-reactive to dogs, squirrels etc. but inside she is much more attentive and will give chase to small furry friends and bearded dragons for sure. No to cats. She would be fine with an older child but her wiggles and size would be too much for small kids. She is about 4.5 years old, 70 lbs., spayed, brindle with a white diamond on her back. It’s so fitting. Her physique is stunning now that she is eating well and has filled in, gorgeous girl!

Story
Boxer Mix Spayed Female 7 years 40 pounds Bunnie is a sweet and snuggly boxer mix on the hunt for her forever home. She enjoys spending her days playing, sleeping with her favorite fuzzy blanket, and getting the zoomies. A lover of all things people, she is bound to make friends wherever she goes, but she would prefer to get all of the attention to her self, and would thrive as the only pet in the home. Bunnie is potty trained and does well in apartment living, but would be happiest in a home with a yard.

Story
We are fostering this precious boy named Bowie. He was rescued from a high kill shelter in Downey, CA the day he was scheduled to be euthanized. We are now trying to find his forever home! He just turned one year old on 04/01/24! He is so sweet and loving! He loves to cuddle and snuggle. He is great with our one year old daughter. At the dog park, he does well with dogs of all sizes! However, on the leash, he is reactive to dogs. He cries and pulls, as he wants to play with them. He definitely needs a patient adopter who can provide him with training for this area. He is also very fearful of large work trucks like trash trucks and delivery trucks. Because of this, he would probably do best in a home in a quiet area and not near a busy street. He is potty trained and up to date on all vaccines! We are hoping to neuter him very soon (we will share cost with adopter if needed), and find his human soulmate! He deserves an amazing home, and we hope to help him find it!

Our *SUPER*NOVA is aBeautiful, classic Doggo girl, over a year old, healthy, friendly, spayed, up to date on all vaccinations, lots of basic training under her belt, adoptions only AVAILABLE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA! Nova arrives with a complete trousseau, including bedding, doggy-wear, toys, bowls, treat bags, and much, much more. We have invested a great deal into this valuable beauty. As you see in the photos, Nova is LOVING and GREAT with well-behaved teenagers, too! While deafness can be a recessive trait for Dogo Argentino: We GUARANTEE that this VERY GOOD GIRL is absolutely not deaf at all. In fact, she can hear a food wrapper anywhere on your property, lol! Food driven and highly trainable. Our rescue will only consider families experienced with Doggo Argentinos/similar breeds. Please do your research before contacting us. While we have no papers on Nova, she certainly APPEARS to conform to the traditional standards of excellence- we have observed many of the traditional genetic, behavioral traits and characteristics of Doggos in this beauty! In fact, ALL THE COYOTES in the neighborhood HAVE MAGICALLY DISAPPEARED because of the personal charisma of Nova's Protection Breed status! ARE YOU the IDEAL home for this highly valuable girl? * You have a very large, (preferably acre or more) fenced yard, * Family member home most of the days, * You’re experienced, committed to continue her positive reinforcement training, * You understand highly intelligent canines, * You understand the needs of working dogs, * You understand this girl is a human-bonded, indoor Family Member, not merely ALSO an outdoor guardian breed. Nova is specifically bonded to humans, not to other dogs or animals. To be considered as the best possible family for Nova, please respond BOTH with a ***cell number*** and provide a specific**** time window*** that our Volunteer Adoption Counselor can call when you are available to answer the phone. We value both your time and ours! Any other information you would like to provide up front will make a huge difference. We look forward to introducing you to your new Charming Girl. Thank you, potential SUPER Nova Family Members!
