Story
Chiquita(Chica) is the last of 9 puppies to be placed in a home. She loves attention and I think with seeing her siblings go away causes her to be a little timid. She is a good watch dog and loves exercise. She has not been around kids, cats and dogs other than her 9 siblings. She likes to be in her kennel or personal space to sleep and also likes to be outside during the day. I think a few dog training classes @ Petco or Petsmart will get her use to being around other dogs and people. We have had her mother for 4 yrs and her father lives down the street form us. Both parents are healthy and great dogs. Picture uploaded of parents. We are looking to find Chiquita a good loving home. She had 4 puppies this year July 7 and needs to be spayed. We are also looking to find homes for her 2 remaining pups.

Story
My name is Bruno and I cannot wait to be a part of a family. I am a super happy and smiley 3 year old pug mix and I weigh a solid 30 pounds. I am energetic and curious but also love cuddles. I am house trained, sleep in my crate at night, know how to "sit"  and do well on a leash. I've been going to doggy daycare and I absolutely LOVE it, they say I'm a rockstar with all the other dogs. I am nervous around new people but I warm up quickly. If you have an active home and like to go on adventures I am the dog for you! Can't wait to meet you!!! ##1784903##

Adoption Event: Saturday 10/08/22 at Petsmart: 877 E H St, Chula Vista, CA 91910 From 3:30 to 6 pm - Come and meet our sweet, loving, funny pug puppy Chico:) he is a joy to have around. He loves people, kids, and loves to play with other dogs although when he first meets he barks at them because he wants to play. We encourage experience pug experience adopters to apply for him. He is a purebred baby boy who was being neglected by his previous owners, leaving him outside and not feeding him. In spite of this bad beginning for him, he is so amazingly lovable. His foster family loves him so much that they are offering to dog sit whenever his new family will need a dog sitter:) He is a small breed, and he is currently at 18 lbs - he has a nice shining black coat :) Chico loves to play with his toys, specially with balls, loves them:) he is very fast, and very active:) He is leashed trained - loves to go for walks and he is potty trained - however, he just got neutered and he will need to be redirected to his new potty training areas as he is still a puppy and changing environment of homes will need the additional guidance. He will not last long - we are taking appointments for this weekend - Are you ready to give him a forever home? If so, Please text at 619-576-0747 as 1st way of contact or email veronica.aaofusa@gmail.com or visit our website at www.aaofus.org and complete our application at the following link: http://aaofus.org/adoption-application.html . *Note: Our website has been giving us some issues - if you have a problem logging in please text Veronica at 619-576-0747. If approved, the adoption coordinator will reach out to you to schedule a Meet-and-Greet appointment. No appointments will be made unless we have received an application; therefore, we can match you with the best fit for you. Follow us on Instagram @aaofus where you can see more pics. Please allow 48 hours to process applications and respond back to set up appointments. Unfortunately, responses back to those who do not qualify are not possible due to high volume of applications. Donation Adoption fee includes up-to-date yearly 3 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.. LIVE!! LOVE!! LAUGH!! ADOPT A RESCUED HOMELESS PET AND SAVE A LIFE!!

Story
Koda is a very happy energetic girl. She likes to cuddle and wants a ton of attention. She would do better with adults she is around my children and is great with them but dislikes other children. She has a routine of going potty in the morning afternoons, but she still likes to urinate in her bedding. I have been having difficulty training her as I believe the person that I got her from would leave her in the crate and let her pee in her puppy pads and she would sleep in them. The reason that I am letting go of Koda is because we have a seasoned schnauzer and they do not get along at all and I’m afraid that they will hurt each other. my schnauzer is seven years old and has been having anxiety since I got koda. Koda does well in the dog parks. She gets along with other dogs fine, she likes to play fight a lot and likes to play tug-of-war. Sometimes she can be a little bit too rough but listens to commands when to stop. She is very loyal and just wants to be loved. She is 1 year old

Story
Tony is an energetic male 9-month-old purebred English Bulldog. He is super cuddly, loves to play, layout in the sun, and go on short walks. He is house-trained except for the occasional accident at night, in which he will go on a pee pad. He LOVES people and is great with other dogs as he goes to daycare 1-2x a week and has been socialized since he was 8 weeks old. He is good with children, but can get really excited so will jump sometimes. He enjoys pup cups from Starbucks, cheese, and especially beef liver treats. He sleeps on the floor in the bedroom and will move to the bed if he gets cold, but mainly likes to sleep on the hardwood. He can be left alone or in a play pen when leaving your home. I am looking to rehome Tony to a family, couple, or someone who can be attentive to Tony’s needs, give him the love he gives to everyone, and has a yard to play/lay out in (not required, but preferred). He is up-to-date on all vaccines, but is not neutered yet. Overall, he is a great puppy
