Marvin is a sweet and noble dog, 1.5 years old and 30 pounds. He was hanging around the shelter for a couple of weeks, he was given food, water and some love, but we decided to take him in when he arrived really injured and covered in blood, we think he was attacked by dogs. Fortunately in his medical checkup he didn't come out with many problems, and he is now healthy and ready for his new home! He knows how to coexist with other dogs, although he has his temper, he is usually very tolerant with effusive puppies. He likes to sleep in his giant bed, is crate-trained, house-trained and is sociable and friendly with new people. He knows how to ride in a car, and smiles when you scold him, he is adorable! We don't know exactly what breed he is, google lens finds a resemblance to an English Pointer and Andalusian ratter. The $350.00 adoption fee covers the following: Transport to San Diego, CA.

Story
Tux is one of those dogs who makes a great first impression and an even better lifelong companion. He was abandoned on the property where our sanctuary is located, and sadly, no one ever came looking for him. Despite that, Tux has held on to his loving, trusting nature and continues to greet life with a wagging tail and an open heart. He is incredibly friendly, respectful, and easy to be around. Tux enjoys life's simple pleasures: lying next to his favorite people, playing fetch, exploring the yard, or sharing a snack. And when we say he loves food, we mean all food, fruit, chicken, crackers, you name it. If it's edible, Tux is probably interested! He's also a smart boy who learns quickly and responds well to guidance. He understands commands easily and has the kind of adaptable personality that allows him to settle comfortably into almost any environment. Tux is the total package: affectionate, obedient, social, and wonderfully uncomplicated.

Story
Meet Holstein From fearful… to playful… to ready for home. Holstein’s journey began as a scared young pup, running along a riverbed and golf course, unsure of people and the world around him. When A Way Home For Dogs stepped in, they discovered he was just about 6 months old—still a baby who had never truly known love. Today, Holstein is a completely different dog. He’s grown into a big, goofy, affectionate Great Dane / Pointer mix with a personality that keeps everyone smiling. Known for his “Tigger-like” bounce, Holstein is playful, silly, and full of life. He loves carrying around toys, finding the coziest spot in the house (usually your bed), and showing off his excitement before walks.  Perks Playful, goofy, and full of personality Loves toys (the squeakier, the better ) Affectionate and loyal once bonded Great walking companion Keeps life fun and entertaining  Needs Only pet home (no dogs or cats) Older kids (10+) due to size and energy Secure handling on leash (no off-leash) Continued structure and guidance  Ideal Home Holstein is looking for a home that has a calm, structured environment. His perfect adopter is patient, committed, and comfortable handling large breeds.  Holstein has come a long way—from a scared puppy to a joyful, loving companion. Now he just needs someone to give him the home he’s been waiting for. If you’re ready for a big, lovable goofball who will keep you smiling… Holstein is your guy. ##1342588##

Story
My name is Fury because of the distance and way I covered ground as a stray.  I was very young (less than a year old) and very scared.  I would spend a few days or weeks in one location and move far away.  They say it would not be credible if there were not photos to prove it!  After a long distance and time I was creatively secured and safe.  No one came looking or claimed me from the shelter so my captor saved me again.  It took some time, but I learned to trust, embraced love and now find friends in people and fur.  At events I am quick to roll over for rubs, will look at you with my gooey eyes and ask for more when you stop.  I enjoy outings on leash and in public.  I LOVE my people and can't wait to greet them or have one on one wth them.  I do struggle when left alone  so need to be supervised, with someone at all times or safely contained (my escapee skills are almost as impressive as is my destruction).  I am all about being honest but have a huge heart and love to give.    They didn't think I'd make it this far but three years later here I am....... Out and about, confident with people and LOVING life, limited as it is in a rescue.  Please give me a chance and I won't let you down. Because of my Flight Risk I cannot be left unattended in a yard, crate training is a must when you are gone, tight grip on the leash is a must on adventures and my new family must be aware of open doors and windows.  NO offleash activities in unfenced areas for life.

Snipes is 6 years old and weighs 53 lbs. He is good with other dogs and good around people. He is friendly, active, playful and outgoing. Snipes was adopted from BAS in 2021 and returned in 2026.  He developed glaucoma in one of his eyes and the eye had to be removed. His owner retuned him because he started working long hours and didn’t feel like he could give Snipes the time and attention he deserved. He had the eye surgery on 2/16/26 and is doing great! He has slight separation anxiety so he would do best in a home with another dog or dogs.
