Story
Sweet sweet Rambo!! What can we say?? ..where do we begin?  Rambo is looking for a home where he will be allowed to shine on his own time frame.  With love and patience his true personality will come out and he will be the best dog anyone could ever ask for if just given that chance.  He joined us after his owner died.  He was one of four dogs left behind, no one aware dogs were unattended.  His father died still tied to his chain.  He and his brother broke free.  When help arrived he watched his mother cut off her chain and hauled off on a catch pole, then was humanely trapped a week later, leaving his brother Ruckus behind to fend for himself alone.  Unfortunately, his mother was riddled with cancer so was put to rest at the shelter.  Rambo struggled with the shelter setting, upheaval of his life, intorductions and pepole handling.  Once his brother Ruckus was secured we went to get Rambo too.  Rambo, who had been tentative about people could not be happier to see Ruckus and their rehab began together.   We believe Rambo and Ruckus had an okay beginning, loved and cared for, maybe not the way we would like but they welcome new people nicely especially if treats or a doggy bone are involved. Rambo is a teddy bear with the most innocent soulful eyes  He enjoys his toys, especially his special balls.  He prefers stability, but will go with the flow!  He chills very nicely and would appreciate a calm home where someone is home a lot, a friend to read a book with or to watch TV.  A backyard to explore under supervision would be ideal.   He's down for an adventure and loves car rides.  He enjoys walks and adjusts well to new surroundings and outings.  He can still be tentative if people move too fast or something unexpected startles him.  Rambo has done well with some dogs, mostly female but is selective on who can be in his circle of friends but would love to be adopted with his bro Ruckus (please ask about him) but he understands that may not be possible for it would take a very very special family to welcome 2 dogs at once.  However, Ruckus is a much more subdued home body kinda guy so both makes for perfect home and out/about.  WOW!! What a great fairytale that would be!?  Can he come live with and love you??  Please pick Rambo!! Flight Risk: do not leave unattended in a yard, crate training is a must when you are gone, tight grip on the leash is a must on adventures. Must be aware of open doors and windowsTo adopt: https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/37765/genericTo foster: https://petstablished.com/foster_form/37764/genericEmail: awayhomefordogs@gmail.com ##1338938##

Story
Sweet sweet Ruckus!! What can we say?? ..where do we begin?  Ruckus is looking for a home where he will be allowed to shine on his own time frame.  With love and patience his true personality will come out and he will be the best dog anyone could ever ask for if just given that chance.  He joined us after his owner died.  He was one of four dogs left behind, no one aware dogs were unattended.  His father died still tied to his chain.  He and his brother broke free.  When help arrived he watched his mother cut off her chain and hauled off on a catch pole then his brother trapped.  He was the last one left and was often seen sleeping on or next to his dad's body.  Gratefully a concerned neighbor reached out and we developed a plan to get him safe.  Unfortunately, his mother was riddled with cancer so was put to rest at the shelter.  His brother had also been taken to the shelter and was not doing well.  We picked his brother up and started the healing process for both.  That reunion was something else.  Ruckus went from scared, withdrawn and aloof to free.  Rambo, who had been tentative about people could not be happier to see Ruckus and their rehab began together.   We believe Ruckus and Rambo had an okay beginning, loved and cared for, maybe not the way we would like but they welcome new people nicely especially if treats or a doggy bone are involved. Ruckus is a teddy bear with the most innocent soulful eyes  Ruckus likes stability, nothing wrong with that!  He chills very nicely and would appreciate a calm home where someone is home a lot, a friend to read a book with or to watch TV.  A backyard to explore under supervision would be ideal.   He's a homebody as new/busy situations make him a bit nervous.  Eventually leashed walks around the block or  where it isn’t too busy could be enjoyable. He doesn’t need to go shopping, or to community/neighborhood events.. Ruckus can probably be talked into a ride in the car to a quiet cabin in the mountains with his favorite person who would give him quick leashed potty breaks… that’s all he would require. Sounds like the perfect easy dog, right?!  Ruckus would really really love to be chosen along with his brother Rambo (please ask about him) but he understands that may not be possible for it would take a very very special family to welcome 2 dogs at once.  However, Rambo is a much more outgoing and adventerous guy so both makes for perfect home and out/about.  WOW!! What a great fairytale that would be!?  Can he come live with and love you??  Please pick Ruckus!! Flight Risk: do not leave unattended in a yard, crated when when you are gone, tight grip on the leash is a must on adventures. Must be aware of open doors and windows.  NEVER off leash in unfenced areas.To adopt: https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/37765/genericTo foster: https://petstablished.com/foster_form/37764/genericEmail: awayhomefordogs@gmail.com ##1338937##

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Matt Matt was abandoned and left to survive with his friend around a garage, forgotten, starving and scared. No dog should ever know that kind of loneliness. Thankfully, Matt and his friend Hudson were rescued just in time. Today, Matt is safe, healthy, and has learned that us humans can be kind. His transformation is unbelievable, he actually looks like a miniature black lab Mix, but i think he's a mixture of sweetness. Matt, urgently needs a foster home or forever family to call his own. Without a foster home his journey can’t truly move forward. By opening your heart and home, you give Hudson the comfort and stability he’s been denied for far too long. TLC K9 Rescue covers all of his medical needs — all Matt needs is a safe place to land while we find his forever family. Please don’t let Matt wait any longer. If you live in San Diego County or surrounding areas have a home with a secured yard and would love to give Matt a new beginning then please Apply to foster or adopt: www.tlck9rescue.org You could be the reason his story finally has a happy ending. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 24, 2026, 9:22 pm
