Story
The very young, friendly Princess Stella is just a pup looking for the perfect FURever family! She is fabulous with other dogs, super friendly and absolutely charming. as can be. She has NOT been tested with cats or very young children,but she LOVES CHILDREN, especially teens who will play with her! As with ALL our young dogs, our rescue MANDATES immediate, professional training for al adoptive families- after all, you are going to enjoy this girl for LIFE, so lets be sure you're invested in her training to become the BEST POSSIBLE FAMILY MEMBER and companion EVER! The IDEAL home will be a family who is EXPERIENCED with German Shepherds or Belgian Malinois and similar big dog breeds, has a very LARGE yard (please no apartments, condo's etc) has either a resident friendly, trained companion dog OR a close friend/neighbor/family member who has one for regular play dates. A retired couple or a family with children 10 yo and up, e busy household who takes their beloved pet with them everywhere- shiopping, to the kids soccer games, on vacation, etc would be the perfect future for this lovely girl. We do NOT recommend a dog like this if you work a traditional 8 hour work day away from home. If YOU can give Princess Stella the IDEALROYAL HOME, respond with BOTH a PHONE NUMBER as well as offer a SPECIFIC TIME AND DAY you will be available to answer the phone when our Volunteer Adoption Coordinator calls! Lets get the PRINCESS home so you can enjoy a family friendly, wonderful SUMMER 2023 TOGETHER!

Story
German Shepherd Mix &#194&#149 3 years &#194&#149 Female &#194&#149 Medium &#194&#149 50lbs We found Hema on the side of the road bleeding profusely from his right nostril and took her to two different vets since the first one could not get the bleeding to stop. He stayed at the vet for 3 days while they tried to figure out why she would not stop bleeding. The bleeding was stopped. She was very skinny, and in poor nutritional health so felt this maybe the problem. She has been with us for several years and her nose bleeds if there is hot weather and if she is in direct sun light.  She is a special needs dog because of this. She may have a genetic disorder. Von Willebrand's disease. She is best for a home with no kids and no other pets. Hema does have shedding issues due to some skin problems that require daily care. She is not good with strangers and barks excessively if she hears people coming around. Hema can be destructive with household items so its best not to leave her unattended. She also likes to dig and jump fences so you need to have a large high fence.  Hema can have separation anxiety as well if left alone too long.  She also may have accidents in the home so she has to be watched to be taken outside to go to the bathroom.We do not have a central location to see our dogs.  Meeting any dog is by appointment ONLY currently. Appointments can be set up to meet any dog in San Diego. Currently we are unable to do any out-of-state adoptions. If you are interested in a particular dog please FILL OUT an Adoption Application at our website @ http://bajadogrescue.org/ready-to-adopt/adopt and we can schedule you for an appointment to meet with a particular dog if it is available. We do require an application if you are interested in adoption.  If you are interested in potentially adopting please fill out an application at http://bajadogrescue.org/ready-to-adopt/adopt. Your application will be reviewed and you will be placed on a waiting list for the dog(s). If your name comes up on the waiting list(s) we will contact you. You can see the dogs we have available for adoption on our website at http://bajadogrescue.org/shelter-dogs/ Please check out our FAQ's page at http://bajadogrescue.org/faqs/. Questions?

Story
Koa is the best puppy we've ever had. My wife and I have two other dogs that we raised from when they were puppies, Koa has been so much easier than the other two were. However, back then we didn't have any kids, so it was a lot easier for us to put in the time necessary to raising a puppy. We have a 1-and-a-half-year-old daughter and are wanting more kids, and unfortunately, we don't have the ability to give Koa the life she deserves. Shes the sweetest puppy. She loves cuddles, playing with her stuffed animals and chewing on her unhides. She is also very submissive. She gets along great with our two other dogs and our daughter. We have a crate for her that she sleeps in at night, only needing to go out once a night to go potty. My wife and I have been working with her on getting her potty trained and is going pretty well. We have a lot of stuff we've bought for her that were willing to give along with the adoption if desired. We just want to find the perfect home for her.

Story
Dieter is a mellow, 7 year old, German Shepherd who enjoys spending most of his time outdoors in the yard. He is not very active, but does enjoy short walks. We have had Dieter for 6 years, after rescuing him, and now we have two small children and the two don't mix well. He is not aggressive at all and will allow guests and strangers into the house with ease, but he is protective of his food and we have had incidents with our young kids (3 years and younger) that make us uneasy. Dieter has been a wonderful dog the entire time we have had him and it's with a heavy heart we need to put him up to be re-homed. He will make a great dog for someone who likes a mellow dog who will hang out with them around the house and yard. He loves other dogs and plays well with them. He is social and likes people as well.

Story
German Shepard rescue from TJ. It had been rescued by a local TJ charity from a bad owner. Two legs had been ran over by a car. They did surgery to save her and she is currently healthy and happy. Except that she is missing a back leg and one front paw is slightly turned outward. She's very sweet, happy and mild mannered dog. She is also very mobile and can play well with other dogs, go on walks etc. but she seems to prefer to lay down and just relax most the day. She's good with other dogs, but not with cats. Please reach out to us if you would be willing to provide her a new home. She is currently being held at a dog sitters home in Rancho Santa Fe and they have agreed to foster her in the meantime. If you would like to come see her and be considered as a prospective owner, we will be setting up appointments for meet and greets at this location. A small rehoming fee will be asked so as to make sure she goes to a good home that can provide for her. NAME: Josie SEX: Female AGE: App
