Story
We adopted Josie in 2019 from an adoption event in North County San Diego. She was rescued from Mexico and was 9 months old at the time we adopted her. Josie is now a 7-year-old poodle mix, she is 38 pounds, and is hypoallergenic. She is very loyal to her owners but is not easily trusting of new people, especially entering our home. Josie was an important part of our family, and loved and cared for for many years. She had a TPLO (knee) surgery in January 2026 that she has fully recovered from. She has no ongoing health issues and is low maintenance in that regard. Josie has a history of nipping strangers/friends in our home - she is very protective of her domain. We now have a 20 month old toddler, and our toddler is obsessed with Josie. For the most part, Josie is very good with her and they enjoy sharing food and playing tug of war together. Unfortunately, Josie prefers her personal space and the toddler doesn't know boundaries, and it has become too stressful to constantly oversee.

Pato was rescued under a car in the jungle area of Sayulita with a severely damaged front leg. We arent sure what happened, but the injury is so severe it required months of bandage changes, orthopedic surgery, and now lots of rehabilitation. We hope that Pato will have four functioning legs very soon, because he has had a long journey. He is so sweet with the vets who change his bandages daily, and is so eager to get out and see the world. Pato is a loyal, loving, and protective dog who would love to live in a space with a yard. We think he may be able to do some livestock protecting too, but aren't sure yet!

Story
Donna’s Baby Girl (featured on the right in the photo of the two puppies) 6 week old female mix Baby Girl is hilariously playful and silly, with tons of energy. She’s smart as a whip, already fully potty and crate trained. Beyond her amazing intelligence and personality, she’s got the cutest face you’ve ever seen. The perfect compliment to her calmer brother, please consider adopting both into your family.
