Meet Charlie! Charlie is a 3-year-old, 28-pound Schnauzer who was recently surrendered by his owner through no fault of his own.

He’s already neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccines, making him ready to join his forever family today.

Story
Billie is a gentle, sweet dog, but he is nervous away from home. He does not travel, and gets very fussy in a car. He is 2 1/2 years old, weighs 18 lbs, and is strong and healthy. Billie does not chew the furniture or anything but his bone and his biscuit. He doesn't hump, hardly sheds (part poodle), and almost never barks. He is a good boy, who protects his little brother from big dogs. He has beautiful brown eyes. As we need to travel with our dogs, and do not want to board him, we would like to find him a new home to settle into.

She is ok with cats; but never lived with one. She is about 18 months old, or 1 1/2 year years old. She has received her core vaccinations, dewormed, and spayed/neutered. Fiona's 7 month old pups Betty and Junior are available for adoption. Her human parent cannot take care of them any longer; she is sick and wants the best for them. Please open your home and hearts to our sweet and amazing mama girl:) Please contact us at 619-576-0747 as 1st type of contact or email veronica.aaofus@gmail.com or visit our website at www.aaofus.org and complete our application at the following link: http://aaofus.org/adoption-application.html .

Donation Adoption fee includes up-to-date their 3 core puppy DHLPP vaccinations, spaying or neutering, deworming, flea medication, and a complementary health check up by a participating clinic near you. Please consider adopting one (or more!) of these fur babies! Due to high volume of calls; NO PHONE calls are accepted at this time - therefore, please text us or email us.- A minute of conscious - Please read:) We ask you Please to be SERIOUS adopters; as there have been so many people that are not ready. We set up meet & greet appointments, do a home visit or send them the address for some meet & greet locations, paperwork and suddenly they said they are not ready or spouse is not ready, etc. These fur kids have a very hard day the day of their appointment. Due to travelling we hold their food, so they won't get car sick. We bath them, some of them are schedule for grooming as you know it is stressful for them; then they have to travel with us picking up other rescued fur kids, and so on, it is a very stressful hard day for them for people to just cancel at last minute or not show up or do show up and just say they are not ready. Our time as well as your time is valuable. Please don't waste valuable time that is so precious for a rescued pet. Every single wasted time is a time that an animal will die because we didn't get to them on time to help them. In addition, of wasting gas and grooming fees which are paid by volunteers. Please take the time to put your shoes in the shoes of the volunteer and most of it to put your shoes on our rescued fur kids!! Please take a minute to tell yourself if you are ready to adopt and for this commitment. LIVE!! LOVE!! LAUGH!! ADOPT A RESCUED HOMELESS PET AND SAVE A LIFE!! Less
