Story
This is Tora, she is 6 years old. She is 54 lbs and won't get any bigger. She is spayed and up to date with most shots but still needs her most recent rabies vaccine. Tora is incredibly smart, loyal and loving. She does well with kids and other dogs. She is very energetic and down for adventure. She will make an amazing new friend and a perfect addition to any family. We've decided to rehome her due to an upcoming long distance move. Finding a place in another state is difficult enough without limiting it to somewhere that accepts dogs. We've been caring for my Mother in Law with severe Alzheimer’s Dementia for the last 2 1/2 years which has taken time and attention from Tora. She needs a family that will shower her with love and give her the time she deserves.

These pups are in El Cajon, California too!

Story
Pez is a 70lb. dog of unknown breed. Her birthday is January 14, 2021. She is about as tall as 2 small dogs stacked on top of each other. She is okay with children after enough treats. She is heavily food motivated. She does well staying with other dogs if gradually introduced and she will ignore other dogs on walks at the beach, the park, etc. She loves to cuddle after long walks. She is super affectionate, playful and loves to nap near people. One of her favorite ways to prank me was by stealing my hair ties on my wrist so I would chase her. She would stop when I said "done" and "okay, drop it" so she understands when play-time is over. Extremely intelligent, fiercely loyal and will look after you.

If you're looking for a lively, joyful companion who has lots of love to share, Caramelldansen is ready to dance her way into your heart!
