Story
Rocky is a Rottweiler Mix, his estimated date of birth is 2/7/12 and he weighs 75 lbs. He is up to date on all of his shots and he is fixed. Rocky is OK with people but is not good with kids, cats, or small dogs. Rocky has a habit of jumping and he has a tendency to try to escape so he would need a home that was very secure. Rocky has food aggression and is very possessive of toys and people. He can sometimes have an over protective drive to certain people.  Rocky can be very vocal and would require a home with a lot of space as Rocky prefers to roam and would become destructive if restricted in a small space. Rocky is not good with new people or places and can be aggressive to other male dogs. He requires regular grooming and requires a special diet. Rocky is afraid of water and can become agitated by running water or large areas of water. He has a habit of dumping out his water dish. Rocky is not good on a leash despite repeated training and still has issues with house training and marking.We do not have a central location to see our dogs.  Meeting any dog is by appointment ONLY currently. Appointments can be set up to meet any dog in San Diego. Currently we are unable to do any out-of-state adoptions.

Story
A special courtesy plea for Leather… Leather is a previous shelter dog that needs an immediate new home. Leather is a 2 year old wiggle worm who lives with a 1-yr-old toddler, and a 7-yr-old who he is very playful with. He is gentle with the 7-year-old child, but he does tend to get underfoot because he wants attention. He does jump but listens to “no” command & will get down. Leather also lives with an 18 & 21 yr old, as well as the 4 children’s parents. He is a very sweet boy, loves toys, sits & shakes on command. Leather needs help. His family only has good things to say about him, but their other male dog is aggressive towards Leather. Leather is kennel trained, he sleeps in there at night, has done great with their young children & enjoys sunbathing. He roams the garage & back yard unless their bulldog is outside, in which he is kept in the garage. Leather lives with 2 dogs, a male English Bulldog & a female St Bernard. With the male dog, toys cannot be on the ground in a shared space or a fight breaks out. Per the adopter, they think their male bulldog is starting the fight because Leather can have toys around their female dog without issue. Fights are getting worse & a new home IMMEDIATELY is needed. This past week of the family’s children accidently left the door open & Leather walked outside. The adopter turned around & watched him stretch in the sunlight, while her bulldog started growling, and Leather walked away. There have been no further intendents because the family is keeping the 2 male dogs separated, but it appears that Leather is not the one starting the fights. Leather is a very good boy who is not getting the most out of life, keeping the boys separate is also causing a toll on the family. Help is needed now! The situation is URGENT for Leather. Please contact us IMMEDIATELY if you can help Leather. He may do best as an only dog or with a female dog. Time is of the essence!
