Story
Meet our sweet tripod, Alegra! We believe she is a border collie/Shepard mix. Alegra is 3 years young, spayed, and vaccinated. A good Samaritan from Tijuana has asked us for help. She rescued Alegra after witnessing a car running her over and fleeing the scene. With the help of the good Samaritan and good-hearted strangers, Alegra was rushed to the vet where sadly she lost one of her hind legs. Despite of all the trauma she has been through Alegra is an absolute doll! She plays, runs, she gets along with other dogs, likes all people, and adores all children. She is secure now! We are looking for a foster to have her transported to Los Angeles or better yet an adopter! She deserves the best! We will do everything for our sweet girl, our sweet tripod, Alegra.

Story
Bonnie ( red female ) and Bluey ( dark male )  are looking for their forever home.  The two were found as strays and surrendered by previous owners for not being able to find the time to care for them. They are very loving and gentle dogs.  They seek all the love and attention you want to give them.  Both are neutered/spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated.  These two are very attached and looking for a home to take them both in.  The male is deaf and relies on his sister for guidance and love.  Please give them a chance by meeting them.  They do not require a lot and really don’t eat too much.
