Story
Sweet Pea needs a foster or foster to adopt in So Cal ASAP. She’s a 1 1/2 year old Dogo Argentino mix. She is very sweet dog. She does seem to be deaf or at least have selective hearing. She does need some time to adjust in a new home, but she loves people and seems non reactive with other dogs and cats. She can escape a fenced yard, so she will need to be kept inside unless you're outside with her. She's pretty good in a crate and we can provide one for a foster to use. She still needs to be spayed. That is included in her adoption. She loves the car and is pretty good on leash. Currently in need of new foster in So Cal or can be adopted anywhere in California. Adoption fee of $400 includes spay/neuter, core vaccines (DAPP and rabies), microchip, access to training videos. You must complete an application before we are able to accommodate any request for a meet and greet. Please apply here to adopt: Adoption Application or to foster apply here: Foster Application Thank you!

Story
How this pet arrived: Felipe was brought in by a Field Service Officer on November 5, 2025.Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Felipe! Felipe wandered in one day with the softest eyes and the calmest presence... and absolutely zero awareness of just how big he is. According to him, he's a compact lap dog who should absolutely be allowed to drape his whole body across yours at any moment. He recently had his right back leg amputated on 11/12/25, and he's adjusting to the tripod life with steady determination. He'll be taking it slow while he rebuilds strength, and he'll be rocking his E-collar until his staples come out around 12/1. He's not a fan of the fashion statement, but he's handling it with admirable patience. He has had some straining when he pees - something that started before surgery. His tests and x-rays didn't show a cause, though the post-op inflammation may have made it more noticeable. If it keeps up, a quick vet visit is recommended. Felipe is a sweet gentle giant with a heart that feels too big for his body. He leans in close, nudges your hand softly, and somehow manages to squeeze his whole giant self into your lap like it's the most natural thing in the world. And once he's healed? That goofy, playful, bounce-around spirit is ready to burst out - the one that makes you laugh and shake your head and think, how is this huge marshmallow so sweet? Are you ready to help him bounce back and celebrate every wiggly, giant goofball moment ahead? Come meet him and fall head over paws! Primary Color: White Weight: 89.4 Age: 4yrs 1mths 1wks

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!

Story
Ghost is a pure bread Dogo Argentino and comes from a good pedigree line. He is house trained and has done the basic behavioral trainings. Unfortunately, there are instances where he has gotten aggressive with our children. So we do not recommend him to go to a household with children. Definitely will need a strong owner who can continue on with his training. Otherwise, is so lovable, a big baby, loves to go on walks, and is a good protector of the house.
