Story
Romeo is one lucky dog who was hit by a car and severely injured in Mexico City. A Good Samaritan not only covered his medical bills, she flew with him to San Diego so he could have a better chance of a good life. He completely recovered, but one hind leg had to be amputated. That doesn’t stop him, or even slow him down. Romeo is the most loyal dog you will find; he is dog and people friendly and doesn’t show any signs of his past life. Not only that, he has wonderful house manners. We’d love him to find a forever home where he can be loved the way he deserves. Romeo has a lower adoption fee but must be adopted to an adult only home with no cats. Romeo is a playful and full of love boy . he is crate trained .he is 11 months shepherd pup he loves people and. Likes to run in the yard . He is good on the leash . Romeo is a tripod but that does not stop him on being a wonderful and full of life baby, he is pure joy We are looking for a home that has a nice yard so that he can run and play , his future parents need to be working from home or to be retired. No kids under 16 years old If interested go to www.k9connectionpetadoption.org and fill out the adoption application for her, call Stacy at 6198045300

I am in need of rehoming my dog because I have some medical issues going on and I cannot tend to her as I should. She is an amazing, loving, beautiful dog, who deserves a home that she will be cared for properly and is also given time and love.

Story
We adopted him from the SD Human Society in Dec 2021. We have provided so much love and care for him that sadly we are not able to keep up with his needs and care. He is a wonderful dog and gets a long with kids and small dogs. He is a Husky/malamute (It was noted Husky, but he looks more of a malamute). He loves to play catch (when he's not lazy); loves to escape if possible...loves to bark and talk to solicitors. Unfortunately with finance and my husband not being able to work due to a work injury then a car breaking down on us…we cannot afford. important notice: He just had an endoscopy to remove a fox tail.

Fiona is a sweet and quiet little girl. She can be a bit shy at first but she does have a very loving side. She loves to play with other dogs her size and could be good in a home with a small male dog. She can not be in a home with cats. She walks well on a leash and loves car rides. She is currently in obedience class and is doing very well.She is crate trained and house broken. She has been vetted, spayed and microchipped. She weighs about 12,5 lbs.
