You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.I can't say enough about Nova. Just look at this precious girl, she's not only beautiful and sweet she's smart and oh so loving&#226&#157&#164 Her foster mama says "when she loves you she loves you hard" Nova, is professionally trained so she needs an experienced owner that is willing to keep up her skills. 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. She loves hiking and playing fetch so she needs a large yard. Are you a pack leader, who can provide Nova with love and structure? Because this is what Nova needs to thrive! If you live in San Diego or surrounding areas, have a home with a yard and a minimum of a 6ft fence and would love to meet this awesome girl then please complete our adoption application at www.tlck9rescue.org Thank you TLC K9 RescueVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 23, 2024, 3:44 pm

How Foxxy arrived: Foxxy was brought in by her previous owner in May 2024, adopted briefly but returned due to incompatibility with the resident dog. At SDHS:Foxxy has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. Foxxy is now ready for her new home! Why this pet is the one for you:Say hello to Foxxy! Foxxy was a really nice girl in her previous home. She lived with a 10-year-old child, and was reported to get along with most dogs, however, Foxxy tends to play a little rough with other dogs as she is strong and excitable, and we recommend that she be the only dog in the home, and live in an environment where she doesn't have sound or visual access to other dogs. It was noted that Foxxy is house trained. Foxxy is a very strong companion, and she needs a fairly strong and calm person to walk her as she works on her leash skills and learns not to use her mouth roughly. Foxxy is a fun loving gal and would be up for adventures! If you would like to meet Foxxy, grab a leash and collar and head to our Escondido Campus.

Gorgeous 16 week old male puppy Dillon is ready for his loving forever family. Dillon is an amazingly behaved puppy that is sweet with everyone he meets and is super sweet with children. He was rescued from a hoarding situation and arrived super thin and only weighed 13 1:2 pounds. He’s eating well, sleeps in his crate the whole night through and is potty trained when he has access to the yard. He’s incredibly smart, intuitive, alert and wants to please you and love you unconditionally. Dillon will be an amazing addition to any loving family looking for a handsome shepherd mix puppy. Dillon is neutered, microchipped, received his comprehensive fecal test, wellness exam and rabies vaccination. He’s also had two rounds of puppy boosters and only needs one more in 3 weeks. He is an absolute gem of a puppy that deserves his happily ever after.

Story
Romeo is one lucky dog who was hit by a car and severely injured in Mexico City. A Good Samaritan not only covered his medical bills, she flew with him to San Diego so he could have a better chance of a good life. He completely recovered, but one hind leg had to be amputated. That doesn’t stop him, or even slow him down. Romeo is the most loyal dog you will find; he is dog and people friendly and doesn’t show any signs of his past life. Not only that, he has wonderful house manners. We’d love him to find a forever home where he can be loved the way he deserves. Romeo has a lower adoption fee but must be adopted to an adult only home with no cats. Romeo is a playful and full of love boy . he is crate trained .he is 11 months shepherd pup he loves people and. Likes to run in the yard . He is good on the leash . Romeo is a tripod but that does not stop him on being a wonderful and full of life baby, he is pure joy We are looking for a home that has a nice yard so that he can run and play , his future parents need to be working from home or to be retired. If interested go to www.k9connectionpetadoption.org and fill out the adoption application for her, call Stacy at 6198045300
