Story
Meet Carlito! Carlito has come a long way since his transfer to us from the San Diego Humane Society. He was shy, frightened, and emaciated, so we knew we would have to take an extremely gentle approach with this little guy. Carlito is such a cutie! He has since completed his weight gain and is happy and healthy! He has shown us how wild and silly he can be with his friends as they race around the play yards! While he can be a bit skittish at times, he allows us to give him gentle rubs, kisses, and will even close his eyes when we hit his favorite scritch spot: his chest and chin! We highly recommend checking out Carlito's birthday post as it will elaborate on the behavioral considerations listed below: https://www.facebook.com/heartofgoldsshelter/posts/pfbid02MgpVtUMYLWnz72nPMAt5PFAu8evecv9a4QFWDDVjeuceosSxsWYU6vgqXutNtDWpl Behavioral considerations: Carlito is quite scared of the world outside of the rescue facility. He enjoys the known such as his routine and our staff. He will do best in a kind, gentle, patient, and quiet home that is understanding of his need to take new things slowly and at his pace. Due to evading capture for quite some time prior to being caught by Humane Law Enforcement with a catchpole, Carlito is terrified of being harnessed, will alligator roll when he feels the resistance of a leash/lead, and will dart out of a door or escape route should the opportunity present itself. He also prefers not to be held as this feels constricting to him but will gladly hop onto a trusted person's lap for gentle snuggles. He is a street survivor after all, and his small stature means he had to be fast, agile, and smart to survive. An escape-proof yard is a must for him to safely have fun, explore, and race around as he so loves to do! He's so fast! Regarding COVID-19 and other contagious illnesses: Please reschedule any visits if you are sick.

Story
Betty is a sweet girl that shy and timid at first, loves attention and pets. She has a fun a sweet personality and is always excited to see you. Be ready when she does literal spins when you get home from your day. She loves balls and toys and will play a little game of fetch with you. Betty has lived in a home with an active large breed dog and 2 anti-social cats and handles them all with such ease! She’s no stranger to young children and gets so excited to see them. Betty knows and loves her kennel, she can do a basic sit. She can be very timid so she does best with gentle and patient coaching. Betty is spayed and fully vaccinated. Betty was rescued from the streets in Baja around 3 months old, her background was a bit of a mystery. She can be a bit timid at first and would do best with a gentle and patient family that can show her how to trust. She does warm up to people very quickly and would be a perfect lap dog.
