Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Friends, our beautiful 8-month-old puppy, Onyx, is in need of your help to find him a loving and supportive forever home. Despite being born with a front leg deformity that has resulted in a shorter right leg, Onyx is a joyful and spirited boy who can run and play just like any other puppy. While he may be a little slower than his peers and doesn’t require as much exercise, his loving nature more than makes up for it. Onyx has formed a wonderful bond with one of our other dogs, Osa, and we would be overjoyed if they could be adopted together. However, we understand that this may not always be feasible, and our primary goal is to ensure Onyx finds a wonderful home where he can thrive. After consulting with two veterinarians, we are relieved to share that they both concur Onyx can continue to flourish without the need for a leg amputation, allowing him to live a long, happy, and pain-free life. Onyx is fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped, making him ready for his new adventure. He adores short walks, enjoys the company of other friendly dogs, and absolutely loves trips to the beach, where he can explore and soak up the sun. If you reside in San Diego County or the surrounding areas and are interested in fostering to adopt or adopting Onyx, we invite you to complete our foster or adoption application at tlck9rescue.org. Let’s work together to give Onyx the loving home he deserves. Remember it's Hands and Paws Together Forever and with your help, we can find Onyx the family he has always wanted!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 12, 2024, 3:28 pm

Oreo currently in a home with a beagle and German Sheperd mix (who we also got from the same shelter as Oreo, and were both on the same euthanasia list). Oreo loves any type of walk (short/long). He is very mellow, humble, well behaved, and listens to commands. He knows how to shake both paws and sits/goes to his crate when told so. Goes potty when told so. He avoids conflict. He is non-reactive towards other dogs when other dogs bark at him. He loves car rides. He loves his crate and likes to be alone or with people. He doesn't get separation anxiety. He is a perfect, healthy dog who needs his furever home.

Story
Cooper Attention Ladies! Your perfect gentleman awaits... Cooper is the ideal companion for a lovely lady as he is a true gentleman; very polite, easy going and extremely grateful as he is very appreciative when you spend time with him. (Plus he loves to hug and kiss🥰). This handsome 3 year old golden retriever and labrador mix loves women more than anything and can be protective when/if necessary. He travels beautifully in the car, is house broken and crate trained. Cooper has been vetted, neutered and is up-to-date on vaccines and weighs 47 lbs. Since he's such a ladies man, he'd prefer to be in a home of a woman/women. A yard would be great but not imperative as he loves going for walks and playing fetch. If you are a nice gal looking for her perfect guy, look no further! Whoever said nice guys finish last obviously never met Cooper. 😊 Please go to www.k9connectionpetadoption.org and fill out the adoption application for him. We are a 501c3 rescue so a tax deductible adoption fee applies.
