Story
We are running out of time and will be taking her to the San Diego Humane Society 1st week of May. Why are we re-homing Roxy: Her buddy passed away and we have no plans to home a second dog - we do not have enough time for her - she is lonely and depressed - not a good situation for her. About Roxy - She is a good dog and is 6 years old, Neutered Outside dog, no kennel - never been indoors at our place but has been indoors when she was being trained. She has a large yard to run in, but stays close to the house most of the time. She is afraid of the coyotes (we have many around here). Diet - Purina Pro Plan - we mix 1/2 can wet food in every few days. 2 dog biscuits at night as a treat every few day. It would be best if she is adapted by someone that has a larger yard.

Leonardo’s brothers Donatello & Michelangelo have found their families but these Leo & his brother Raphael are still looking for their forever home! Fully vetted and ready to come across the border! Are you the one for Leo or Raphael? 5 month old pug terrier mix good with kids, other dogs and they love cats, your cats would need to be used to and comfortable to puppies, they love to run up to them and kiss them, they’re truly the sweetest. They’re very loving and playful, love attention and to be held. We are crate and potty training them but of course they’ll need continuous and consistent training, they are still puppies and will have accidents, especially in a new environment.

Story
This sweet girl was hit by a car in the streets of Tijuana and left to fend for herself for god knows how long... she was found and relinquished into our care and her leg was so infected to the point of no return.. the vet did an extensive check up to see if anything could be done before coming to the conclusion of amputating.. she is a tripawd, her back right leg was the one removed. She gets along very well and is extremely sweet, oh so loving and looking for her forever home.

Story
Odb was found on the streets of Long Beach. After getting him fully vaccinated fixed in microchipped he is ready for his help forever home. He is estimated to be about 9 years old about 24 lb and is a poodle mix. He is very easy going laid back and loves to cuddle. He loves to go and walks and enjoys just following you around the house. Huge you best with kids over the age of 10:00 as he has a little bit of older man. Or if he is around respectful children that also works as well. He is a great boy it would bring peace and love to a loving home.
