Story
Meet Coffee Shop Chrissy! Coffee Shop Chrissy entered Redlands Animal Shelter as a stray. When she wasn't reclaimed, we scooped her up on March 21st. Chrissy is 16 years old and weighs 11 lbs. She is feeling better after a much-needed haircut and grooming! Coffee Shop Chrissy went on a two-week Frosted Fling, so we could learn what she is like in a home. Her Fling Mom reports: "Coffee Club Chrissy made a little progress during her time with me. She no longer flinches and jerks away from me when I touch her. Here's what I've learned about her: - She's a good eater - She gets along with everyone - She prefers to go potty outside if she can get there - She can't hear much, if anything at all - She has limited eyesight and will flinch when something will appear in front of her, or if she walks from shade into sunlight - She is not interested in walks but may enjoy a stroller ride - Her favorite pastimes are sleeping and eating - She loves ear and butt rubs - She sleeps through the night in her pen (so she doesn't get lost or stuck somewhere) - She is very quiet Chrissy is a lovely old lady. She just needs to know someone is there for her." While Chrissy waits for her forevery family, she is on second Fling. We are so glad she is receiving extra TLC in the comforts of a home. Her Fling Mom shares: "Coffee Shop Chrissy is a beautiful flower in my bountiful garden of pups. Honestly, I would keep her, but we need your help. Please find a soft spot in your heart to give her a forever home. I just can't take her traveling with us. It wouldn't be fair to her. She needs a familiar place to hang out. She eats well, takes only a pain pill twice a day in her food, and prefers to go potty outside. Otherwise she will use a potty pad. She is a quiet, gentle soul." Coffee Shop Chrissy needs a loving home for the remainder of her life. She doesn't ask for much other than to be treated with understanding and gentle care. If you have a spot in your heart for this sweet super senior, please let us know!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi Everyone meet TLC K9 Rescue's newest rescue our sweetheart Aliya.  Unfortunately, poor girl lost her home after her original owner passed away.   As you can imagine her world was turned upside down for a while, she lost the only person she ever knew.  She was the princess of her home so that's exactly what we want now for Aliya. She can be a little shy when she first meets people, but with a gentle touch and love she comes around pretty quickly.   Aliya, was an only dog so even though she is ok with the other dogs in rescue she is neutral and will not fight with the other dogs, but we still think she should be an only dog so she can still be the princess of the house.  Aliya would make a great companion dog to anyone willing to shower her with love. She was pretty matted when we got her so we had to shave her down, but this beautiful 3 yr old Multipoo will look even more beautiful once her hair grows back in. Please share for Aliya's sake   We need a foster home in Sunny San Diego for Aliya. Please apply to foster Aliya at tlck9rescue.orgVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 21, 2024, 12:27 pm
