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.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Johnny Boy is a one-year-old Tibetan Terrier mix who has come a long way since I rescued him from the San Diego Humane Society's Escondido campus when he was just four months old. At that time, he was extremely scared, and the whole situation was so unfair to him, a mere puppy. One day, I received a frantic phone call from a dog owner who was desperately searching for her lost pet. Through her tears, she explained that Johnny was part of an accidental litter, and she had adopted all the puppies to good families. However, when Johnny's new potential adopters came to meet him on a busy street in Escondido, the environment was overwhelming. Johnny was shaking with fear from the noise of lawn mowers, blowers, and the constant stream of vehicles and motorcycles passing by. To make matters worse, when his owner handed him over to the new family, the husband accidentally dropped him. Johnny, terrified, took off running, and a chase ensued. When they finally caught up to him, he was frozen with fear. Despite this traumatic experience, the new family decided to adopt Johnny, assuring his original owner that they would give him time to decompress and take good care of him. However, when the original owner called to check on Johnny, the new family told her they had put him in the garage because he was too scared and wouldn't come to them. She pleaded with them to give him some time to adjust, and if it didn't work out in a week, she would take him back. Unfortunately, the family refused and blocked her from any communication. Concerned, I asked her for their phone number to inquire about Johnny's well-being and offer assistance. After speaking with the family, I learned that they had already surrendered him to the shelter, and a rescue was supposed to pick him up, though they couldn't provide the name of the rescue. They had barely had Johnny for more than four hours before giving him up to a shelter, a place that would only heighten his fear. Within a few minutes, I received an email from the shelter asking if I would take in a terrified puppy. To my surprise, it was Johnny. They described him as huddled in the corner of his kennel, defecating out of fear. I immediately agreed to take Johnny under my wings and pulled him from the shelter the very next morning. Fast forward, and Johnny Boy has blossomed into the sweetest and kindest soul. It took time for him to decompress at my home, but my dogs showed him that he could trust me. They gave him the courage he needed. He now loves playing with the other dogs and is having the time of his life. I am very impressed with his progress and so happy I took Johnny Boy under my wings. All it took was time for him to know he was safe. Today, Johnny Boy is happy, healthy, and very friendly with people he bonds with and amazing with other friendly dogs, regardless of their size. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He is respectful of the other dogs when eating, doesn't bother them at all, and takes his treats very gently from my hand. I adore his beautiful, sensitive soul. Johnny is kennel trained, very obedient, loves car rides, and enjoys playing with his toys and other dogs. However, he is still afraid of the world outside his home, and he needs continuous confidence building in that area. Johnny Boy needs a calm environment, a loving person to call his own, and another friendly dog he can play and bond with. If you live in San Diego County or surrounding areas, have a home with a yard and a secured fence, and would love to adopt Johnny Boy, please complete our adoption application at tlck9rescue.org.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 5, 2025, 2:20 pm
