Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.River's story. This poor boy was rescued from TJ Mexico. He was found in a ravine with water flowing through his little legs. I can't imagine how he could have gotten in there because there was no way in or out. He could have fallen in or someone threw him in there. Our foster literally had to jump in to get him and even though he was scared to death he still allowed her to pick him up and lift him out of that nasty ravine. Poor boy was emaciated, dehydrated, anemic, had Ehrlichia and his left eye was obviously infected. Today, this precious 4-5 year old boy is back to health and so very sweet. Even though he longs for human kindness everything is still so new to him so we are gentle with him and this is what he responds too. Oh, but I tell you when he warms up to you he's the sweetest little guy ever. We named him River, because of his strength and courage to survive. River, is now healthy, up to date on his vaccines, had a dental with several teeth removed and received drops for his one dry eye. Specialist said nothing wrong with his eyes except he's not producing enough tears which is causing dryness in the left eye. River, needs a family a loving family with gentle hands, someone who is patient and willing to take it slow and allow River to decompress and trust. He's a good boy and gets along with other dogs his size, he's mellow, loves his doggie bed, but when he sees you it's like his world lights up. River, doesn't need to be with other dogs, but if you have a small dog he can bond with that would be a plus. But most of all he needs love and compassion. If you live in the San Diego County or surrounding areas have a home with a secured yard and would like to foster or adopt River, then please fill out an application at tlck9rescue.orgVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 27, 2024, 9:19 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Cameron was returned this summer - 9 months after he was adopted! Now he's looking for a REAL forever family.  Cameron is best described as a Cat-Dog. Much like a cat Cameron is happy on his own, and likes to be petted - but when he's ready. He isn't gonna try to steal the spotlight because he'd much rather hang out on his own - until he's comfortable. If you are looking for a fast friend, this is NOT the dog for you. But if you want to invest the time and let the dog feel relaxed and safe, he will repay you by letting you pet his chin. Cameron will do really well in a home with another small dog to help him feel more comfortable, or with a human that won't put too much pressure on him to be their friend. He is leash trained, crate trained and will need a dog savvy adopter. =============================================================== Originally, Cameron came to us after his owner was evicted and decided to abandon the house full of animals when they left.  Cameron and the two pack mates that we pulled with him were terrified. It's been 9 months and these cutie pies are available for adoption.  Cameron is the slowest to come around of the 3 dogs we pulled. While he is more comfortable hanging out by himself he does like people.  Cameron absolutely loves to run around the yard, and the more you praise how fast he is, the faster he runs - with a smile! Cameron is still shy and needs an owner that will go slow with him, but still apply a little bit of pressure. If you'd like to meet Cameron, come on down to our adoption center.

Story
It would be hard to find a little puppy cuter than Winslow Homer! He’s a tiny 5-month-old fluffy pup who weighs about 11 pounds. I would guess that when he’s full grown, he will weigh about 15 or 16 pounds but I’m pretty sure he won’t get any bigger than that at all. His mama was supposedly part poodle, but Winnie looks more like a Papillion blended with a white King Charles Spaniel. He has a wavy and very soft white coat. I love that my mixed breed dogs are all unique - each and every one has his or her own look, which makes them even more special! My guess is that little Winslow is hypoallergenic, but I am not sure of that, which is why I recommend a sleepover if you or someone in your family is allergic to dogs. Baby Winslow gets along with everyone and everything – big dogs, little dogs, big and small people (kids), and kitties. He’s crate trained and well on his way to being housebroken, affectionate, loving, and quiet. Of course, Winnie’s adoption covers his neuter, all his baby shots (DA2PPv’s and Bordatella), his rabies shot, and incidentals like flea meds and worm meds, as necessary. He’s wonderfully healthy and robust, and I have all his medical records to pass onto his new family. I'm a firm believer in a” sleepover” -- you can take a pup home to make sure it is a good match for you, the pup, and the rest of your family. The sleepover can be a week, because it's only fair to give everyone time to get to know one another to adapt. We always take our critters back if things don’t work out. To meet this adorable and likely hypoallergenic little doll face (and all our other great foster doggies), please call 858-602-2061 or email findabestbuddy@gmail.com
