Story
Xena is an amazing dog! She unfortunately was abandoned by a friend with a substance abusive problem. Being that I’m a single mom of three children I cannot give her the time she deserves or I would keep her in a second. She is a Shepard mix and therefore needs exercise and someone who has experience working with Shepard dogs and has time to run or walk with her. She is a snuggle bug and loves to cuddle. She LOVES kids but she is big and strong and not always aware of her size. She would make an amazing running buddy as she is incredibly fast and athletic. She is very smart and gets along with most dogs but definitely wants to be the one in charge. Not good with small animals such as cats.

Story
How this pet arrived:Kiara was brought in by a community member on February 14, 2024. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Kiara, a charming canine who found her way to us as a stray. While her past remains unknown, one thing is clear: Kiara is a dog who enjoys human connection. She's a social butterfly who adores attention, happily resting her head on your lap for pets. However, Kiara can be reactive towards other dogs, so she's seeking a forever home where she can reign as the sole furry companion. Her exuberance sometimes translates into jumps of excitement, so a household without young children would be ideal. Nevertheless, Kiara's zest for life is infectious -she loves to frolic and play fetch, and she's a smart girl who will sit for treats and can't wait to learn more tricks! If you're ready for a loyal friend to share your adventures, Kiara is waiting to join your family and fill your life with joy! Come ask about adopting her today!

This pet is now ready for their new home! Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Clydale Ruffin, a lively, adult canine who's always ready for a fun game of fetch.

Story
Meet beautiful Molly. She was found in the middle of nowhere, in the bones, and with too much fear, she tried to bite us until she could understand that we were not going to hurt her, we just wanted to help her, and she got on her belly, letting me know that she trusted me. She is a really sweet, intelligent, loving dog, she has too much love to give, and she needs to receive even more. She is a very loyal dog, and tends to dance with her front paws when she gets excited. She gets excited when she goes for a walk, she likes to see new places and sometimes she is a little shy at first with strangers but she understands quickly when people don't want to hurt her. On the contrary when she knows that people are a threat to her or to you, she is very protective. She gets along well with very few male dogs, she is dominant and does not usually play with other dogs, but she gets along very well with adults and children, she would be ideal for a family with small children, she knows how to measure her strength, and she is not at all rude with babies. The $350.00 adoption fee covers the following: Transport to San Diego, CA. Spay/Neuter. All vaccines up to date. Deworming (puppies 2 sets). Flea medication up to date. Tick control up to date. Microchip. Microchip registration to new owner paid for. Collar. Temporary leash. The adoption fee does not include transportation to North of San Diego

She's a wonderful playmate with the puppies that come into our rescue, but as all dogs she must be introduced properly. Nova, thrives on love and attention so we would prefer her to be an only dog. She wants to be your cuddle bug and protector, she loves her people immensely. She's a big strong dog who doesn't realize her size. She would do best in a home with no young children.
