Story
Meet Luca! This baby-faced boy transferred to us from the San Diego Humane Society. When Luca first arrived, he was scared, wanted nothing to do with the staff, and would follow us when we turned around only to run away the second we turned to face him. It wasn't long before he warmed up to us, and now he is glued to our sides asking for attention and giving endless kisses! Whenever Luca is not preoccupied with playing amongst his friends or roaming across the play yard, he's hopping around us and asking for our full attention! Behavioral considerations: When encountering employees during his original transfer, Luca barked but kept his distance. In a couple of weeks, he was already soliciting attention and acting completely normal. Due to how Luca expresses fear of meeting new people, particularly men (a general fear of men over women is quite common in many dogs), an experienced adopter will bring out the best in him. With the assistance of our trainer, we will be working with him on leash training as he currently freezes up entirely once a lead is placed around his neck. For now, our trainer has gained his trust and was able to cuddle with him. We do not know what he experienced in his life that made him feel intensely unsafe around strangers, but we are helping our boy out the best we can. In a home and secure backyard setting, he will follow you around wherever you go! Regarding COVID-19 and other contagious illnesses: Please reschedule any visits if you are sick.

Story
Meet Goose! This goofy goober transferred to us from the San Diego Humane Society! Goose was previously adopted from SDHS and returned days later after his owners realized they had no time to care for a young and active pup. Goose is an extremely goofy, bouncy, and energetic ball of love! He is having the time of his life with his new pals and loves being a part of the pack! His quirky, left-sided head tilt adds character to his already silly self! Health considerations: Goose had a right cryptorchid (retained testicle) that was removed without incident and is resolved. He displays a left-sided head tilt which does not affect his balance or quality of life. Due to this history, our vet thinks he was born with congenital birth defects. Regarding COVID-19 and other contagious illnesses: Please reschedule any visits if you are sick.
