Story
Meet Dillinger: A Gentle Soul Finding His Brave 💚 Age: 1 Year Weight: Under 20 lbs Status: Crate & Potty Trained Dillinger is the definition of "worth the wait." This sweet boy traveled all the way from a vet clinic in Mexico to find his forever family, and he is making incredible strides every single day. While he may start off a little shy, once he knows he’s safe, he transforms into the most affectionate, cuddly companion you could ask for. His Personality: Dillinger is a gentle soul who is currently blossoming. He is learning how to play and is discovering that the world is a fun, kind place. He is a "velvet dog" who thrives on physical affection—if you’re looking for a dedicated snuggle buddy to keep your lap warm, Dillinger is your man. Social Life & Training • Dogs: He does very well with other dogs! He would be happy as an only dog or would thrive with a confident "big brother or sister" to show him the ropes. • Children: He is slowly and gently learning to trust kids. • The Basics: Dillinger is already crate and potty trained, making his transition into a home much smoother. • Confidence Building: He is currently working on his leash skills. New environments can be a little intimidating for him, so he’s looking for a patient human who will lead with positive reinforcement. The Ideal Home 🏠 Dillinger would do best in a home that understands the "slow and steady" approach. He needs a family that will celebrate his small victories—like the first time he initiates play or walks confidently down a new block. In return, you’ll get the loyalty and love of a dog who truly appreciates being rescued. Ready to help Dillinger continue his journey? Dillinger is ready to leave his shell behind and move into your heart. Apply to meet this resilient, sweet boy today!

Story
Meet Bugsy! This bug-eyed boy transferred to us from the San Diego Humane Society! Bugsy was found running at large in a San Diego dog park. He and a few other dogs had been dumped, with the SDHS Humane Law Enforcement team being alerted to the situation. Bugsy had bite wounds on his hind left leg that required sutures. He has since healed and his fur is beginning to grow back. Bugsy quickly shows that he is a chill and loving boy who loves to be picked up and held, and he enjoys hanging out with all of his new friends. He loves to play with his ball and enjoys walking around with his prized toys! This easy-going boy will make a seamless transition into any loving home. Regarding COVID-19 and other contagious illnesses: Please reschedule any visits if you are sick.

FTA app: https://form.jotform.com/201793643882060 The girl with the winning smile! Hey guys! I am Sussie, Sussie Q. I am a 4 year old, female Pug mix, spayed and about 11 lbs. Heard of the Chandler 55 case? Yes, I am a part of the disabled hoarded dog pack that was rescued from the monster house. With my sweet spirit and smile, you'd never guess what I have gone through. But only when you see my vet report! It's manageable I pawmise. I have Congenital Angular front limb deformity and Chronic orthopedic condition that affects mobility in hind legs that may have been caused by soft tissue injury that has healed. I do take dasuquin  for help. As long as I am being medically managed for mobility issues no surgery is necessary, but will not know know more until later. Surgery will be my adopter's financial responsibility if it is determined it is needed later by our future established vet. Regarding my training, I am leash trained for the 5-10 min walks I take due to leg deformities. The stroller with a soft blankie is my friend! I am pee pad trained. I am not crate trained. Now coming to my personality, the best part! My mama says that I am an absolute perfection! I love playing with dogs and toys, chewing on bones and sometimes your stuff haha but being all cute about it! I am a lap dog and you'd love my snuggles. If I could climb up on your shoulders and into your skin, I would do it! We can be best mates watching tv, all cuddling and being adorable. I am quite fond of dogs, but they have to have a sweet temperament because I can be the big mama. No cats please! I am very good with kids! I do get separation anxiety where I get anxious and scream, but having another dog completely calms me. I am obviously not a hiking dog, but I do make a good cafe date in my stroller. I am always grateful for my rescue and leaving behind that house of horrors. I do a lil dance when I get a new soft blanket and my zeal is infectious. I am the absolutely cutest little nugget that everyone falls in love with when they meet. I am looking for only the best home that will spoil me rotten because that is what this little princess deserves. If there are no dogs in the home I will need humans around for companionship. Any DINK couple around that likes to bring their dog everywhere with them? I am looking for a home with the best chew bones, softest blankets, and good sunbathing spots. If you think you have that X-factor, let's go get a drink together! My adoption fee is $300 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.

Come and meet sweet momma Dolly or make an appointment for a meet & Greet! Adoption event Saturday 01/06 - at PETCO 1780 Garnet Ave - San Diego, Pacific Beach by Vons From 1:30 to 3:30 pm - Let us know you are coming at 619-576-0747 Dolly is a purebred pugs. Momma has an un-usual white color that you can hardly find in a pug:)She is very lovable, will give you lots of kisses - loves to scare the big dogs and she is just so funny in all ways. She is a very smart girl. She has been around cats:) Dolly and family were rescued because the family who had them had a newborn human baby and they had a total of 5 pugs and they decided to get rid of them just like that. People were trying to get them for breeding and we were able to pay for them so we can keep them save and make sure they will not be used for breeding. Dolly's is classified as special needs, but really loosing one eye has not stopped her from doing her normal life, and being a happy camper - she lost her eye due to a negligence of a worker at the sancturary. Please open your heart and homes to them as they are bonded and must be adopted together:) Please contact us at 619-576-0747 as 1st type of contact or email veronica.aaofus@gmail.com or Angels4DogsCats@gmail.com or visit our website at www.aaofus.org and complete our application at the following link: http://aaofus.org/adoption-application.html .

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 their 3 core puppy DHLPP vaccinations, spaying or neutering, deworming, flea medication, and a complementary health check up by a participating clinic near you. 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. Please take the time to put your shoes in the shoes of the volunteer and most of it to put your shoes on our rescued fur kids!! Please take a minute to tell yourself if you are ready to adopt and for this commitment. LIVE!! LOVE!! LAUGH!! ADOPT A RESCUED HOMELESS PET AND SAVE A LIFE!!
