Story
Callie and Piper are two adorable rat terrier mixes, who came together out of a hoarding situation. The two of them are practically attached at the hip. There are exceptions, as Callie loves to sit in a lap up in the play yard, but Piper never stops exploring! You have the best of both worlds with these two. They can both be reserved at first, and who could blame them after all they have been through, but come around with lots of treats and patience. Piper and Callie both love going for their walks, and have come so far from the terrified pups who had never been on leash before coming to the shelter. These girls are so attached to each other, and after having tried sending them home apart, we have decided to adopt them out as a bonded pair. There is a reason for everything, and we believe these girls are just meant to stay together! December 1, 2023, 2:02 pm

Story
Millie is an adorable pup with big ears. She has grown into them, as they were almost too big for her head as a puppy! Millie is a skittish girl, having come from a hoarding situation, but really comes around with the help of other dogs. She LOVES to go for walks and spend time playing with all of her doggy friends. She MUST go home with another dog to play with, preferably a confident pup who can show her the ropes! Millie would also require and adult only home, but a home with children 16yrs and older would still be considered. Now we just know there is a special family out there for her! Could that be with you???December 1, 2023, 2:02 pm

Story
Meet our handsome gentleman, Louie. Louie is the sweetest guy that came into our care from IVHS. He came in as a stray and no one ever came looking for him. Louie is a bit shy at first, but he warms up quickly and will greet you with lots of kisses. Based on the scarring on his back, we assume Louie has had a difficult life where he wasn't treated very well. Because of how incredible he is, he still chooses to trust people and show lots of love and it's amazing to see. He would do best in a lower energy home where he can live out his couch potato dreams. He is very well mannered and he adores his crate. He has not been tested with other dogs or cats at this moment. If you are willing to give Louie a chance, he will give you his entire heart in return. Please stop in to meet Louie if you think he may be the right fit for you!

Story
Othello, our 10-year-old, 15lb Rat Terrier mix, is ready for his forever home. He is a very sweet and calm dog. He does well with other dogs and is good with people. He may be a little timid in the beginning but warms up quickly once he gets to know you. He is good on walks, loves his naps and toys. Othello can have some separation anxiety at first but does better when he adjusts to his new environment. One quirk of his is that he is an escape artist, a real Houdini, therefore, high walls are preferred. However, once he has adjusted and is comfortable in his new home, he just wants to stay home and get all the love he deserves. He has been waiting very patiently for someone to notice him. We think he's a hidden gem that deserves to shine. If you would like to know more about him or have questions, email us at heartandhomerescueorg@gmail.com.

Meet your New Best Friend! If you would like to reserve this doggie and have us bring them to the event of your choice for you to meet first, you can do so by paying a non-refundable deposit of $50 to our Venmo or Zelle account (619-918 2142 in the name of Amazing Dogs; pls indicate your telephone number). This deposit will go towards the adoption fee. After receipt of your deposit, we will confirm your reservation and list the doggie on our website as ‘Pending Adoption’. If you decide not to adopt one of our Amazing Dogs, the $50 is considered a compensation for the transportation costs. All our doggies come with their health record and have received all necessary medical care, which includes (but is not limited to) all vaccines, de-wormer, anti-flea/tick medication, microchip and of course spay/neuter surgery. Our adoption fee is $500. Only in California, the fee for babies under a year old is $600. Please consider this not as a price you pay for the doggie, but as a (tax-deductible) donation to our charity, so we can continue our work and take care of the 250+ dogs in our shelter. Read more about why we charge adoption fees here: https://amazingdogs.org/adoption-fees/ If you have any additional inquiries, please don't hesitate to reach out to us via call or text. We are excited to meet you at our upcoming adoption event! Contact before event: Sandra Garcia T (408) 477-0553.
