Story
Lets see...Where to begin? Tanck is a very fun and playful senior dog who enjoys spending time with his fellow dog companions and owners. He is very laid back and enjoys cuddling up on your lap when he's craving some pets and attention. He loves to go on leisurely walks around the neighborhood. He may be a senior but he is definitely still a puppy at heart! Unfortunately, he is hard of hearing so you will need to speak up and have patience with him to respond to your commands. He has really mild separation anxiety and has the tendency to bark and howl if he's left alone. Due to his older age, he has a weaker bladder and needs to be taken out regularly to prevent any accidents happening inside the house. Also can be a grumpy old man sometimes lol Is missing some of his front teeth, but can still eat hard food. Please feel to reach out, if you have any further questions? I'd be more than happy to answer them and provide more information about, Tanck!

Flora is a super friendly, athletic, and smart girl who came to us via a Baja-based rescue that found themselves inundated with 18 puppies at one time! Flora was just 8 weeks old when we got her; she was very shy and very tiny. Since that time she has grown into a wonderful young dog! She is incredibly smart and learns quickly. Flora does great with other dogs and could probably use another dog in her forever home as she loves to play. Flora is easy in the car, loves the beach and the water, and just really enjoys being a dog. Could she be yours?

Hi I'm Bear I can be shy and a bit nervous when I first meet people because of my past but after you give me a little time and space to come greet you I get comfortable and I can be very talkative and cuddly. I've never been around children or cats and I'm weary of other dogs depending on size because I was attacked as a puppy. I love sleeping under the blanket if allowed. My current human unfortunately is in the military and getting deployed and she can't take me . She says I'm a sweet little soul and I deserve a loving home. I might not be the perfect confident pup but give me the opportunity to show you that I can be more confident with your love and structure. If you want to meet me please reach out to Celeste phone # 832-602-6900 celestee101@yahoo.comMay 8, 2025, 6:09 pm

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Please review our Adoption Process before filling out an application.  If you would like to try a Foster to Adopt trial, please fill out an Adoption Application.  If you are only interested in temporarily Fostering one of our rescues, please fill out a Foster Application.   Meet Lulu! This adorable baja mutt was rescued along with her brother Lukas. The siblings where rescued by a Ensenada Veterinarian who found them abandoned at her clinic when she opened on a working day. The pups where only about a month old so she helped bottle feed them. Sadly, with the holidays and her hectic work schedule she kept fostering them hoping to find a home through her baja clients with no luck so she reached out to us and we took the siblings in. We made arrangements to have them transported to San Diego and have been here since the first week of February. They are fully vaccinated and HEALTHY strong little pups.  We of course do not know their breeds, we do know they are your typical mutts. Likely a small and large breed genetic mashed to give the perfect medium size dog. As of February they are only 20 pounds and we think they will grow into a mid 30 pound, possibly top 40 pounds. We are labeling them as terriers but they can have pit, chi, collie, lab, who KNOWS what breeds. ALL we know is they are ADORABLE and toooo sweet.  They can both be shy and introverted at first but within a few minutes they open up and start loving on you. Lulu is the most outgoing of the two, super licky face who just wants your affection and lick you CLEAN! ha Lukas is a little 'less' ei a bit calmer but still equaly as affectionate. We think a labrador breed may be strong on these babies.  We are looking for fosters starting Friday 2/21.  Both siblings will be attending the adoption event 2/15, not ready to be adopted yet because they have surgery for sterilization but will be ready to be adopted 2/24. If you'd like to meet them in person stop by the upcoming event 2/15 and if you miss it, please submit an application online to schedule a meet and greet during the week or weekend.  You are welcome to inquire about our foster to adopt trials for a week or two too!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.If you would like to meet one of our animals, PLEASE fill out an adoption application. Dog Adoption Application Cat Adoption Application   PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU ARE IN THE MILITARY  please fill out a short questionnaire in addition to the adoption application.
