Story
We adopted him from the SD Human Society in Dec 2021. We have provided so much love and care for him that sadly we are not able to keep up with his needs and care. He is a wonderful dog and gets a long with kids and small dogs. He is a Husky/malamute (It was noted Husky, but he looks more of a malamute). He loves to play catch (when he's not lazy); loves to escape if possible...loves to bark and talk to solicitors. Unfortunately with finance and my husband not being able to work due to a work injury then a car breaking down on us…we cannot afford. important notice: He just had an endoscopy to remove a fox tail.

Please come to our adoption event to meet them: Saturday 05/28 from 4:30 pm to 6: pm at PetSmart in Clairemont,: 4253 Genesee Ave, San Diego, CA 92117 ***Please read all the way down to the bottom so you can learn all about our sweet pet and about the requirements as well as the organization*** Hi!! Meet our beautiful, loving, and sensitive boy "Quinoa" - He is about 1 year old purebred Alaskan Malamute - He loves to play with other dogs :) He is very good with people and kids. Quinoa is an intelligent, highly-trainable, loving companion for life. We give the category of being a sensitive dog; because he was rescued when his female partner was run over and was dead on the road and will not leave her and laid down next to her screaming for her :( unfortunately at the time of rescuing him we were not able to take pics or videos as we had to rush and get him out of the road. He is currently being fostered with other dogs of all sizes; therefore, he will be great with a multi-family home with other pets. He will be great with a very active family, to take him along for walks, runs, hiking, camping, or just taking it easy and having a cup of coffee:) He is great in the crate; he won't bothered you if you have to work or get the kids to take a nap. - Quinoa has a nice fluffy coat with red tones in it. As a new family addition, he will need guidance as he gets a little shy in the 1st hours you meet him:) If you are ready for this commitment and open your heart to any of our adorable pups, please don't wait no longer. Please text at 619-576-0747 as 1st choice of contact or email veronica.aaofus@gmail.com or visit our website at www.aaofus.org and complete our application at the following link: http://aaofus.org/adoption-application.html .

Donation Adoption fee includes up-to-date his yearly 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! *****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!!

Alaskan Malamute Husky

Male, 1 yr 7 mos

Size

Story
Location Southern California. Transports available, short & long distance. Inquire for details. (If this ad is running the dog is available.) IMPORTANT! Please check your Spam/Junk folder periodically for replies. Jackson is truly one of a kind Wooly Husky looking for his forever home after series of unfortunate events in his puppyhood. At just 18 months old he has cheated death multiple times. First abandoned by owners in high desert with his sibling where they had to fend for their lives to find food and survive, Then caught by dog catchers and turned over to the Worst extermination camp aka Apple Valley shelter where they were placed on euthanasia list. When a Good Samaritan notified us about these 2 pups about to get killed we took on a 6 hour drive rushing to their rescue. But that is not where this story ends. Unfortunately for them they contracted a deadly virus at the said shelter that was spreading like a wild fire at the time infecting 1000s of dogs. And because they were not vaccinated they became very ill. Despite the low odds we decided to battle it out which took months of costly treatments annd sleepless nights. Unfortunately his little sister didn’t make it after an 2 months fights and lost her precious life, which was very devastating. She was the kindest soul. Lucky for Jackson he fully recovered and without any complications. He is now as happy and healthy as can be hopeful for a new chance in life. It is impossible not to love him. He has an incredibly sweet demeanor and loves everyone! He is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated weighing about 55 lbs of mostly fur. He does require frequent grooming and brushing due to long hair that gets matted easily. He is very easy going, great indoors, knows doggy door, quiet with no separation anxiety. He would do best with an active family, space to run free. Jackson is a great human companion dog. He prefers to be with people more than dogs and get lots of attention and belly rubs. He also tries to be a class clown. He is funny and has a very enjoyable personality. We are hopeful for a loving forever home for this boy who has easily become a favorite.

Story
How this pet arrived: This pet was brought in by his previous owner. At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. This pet is now ready for his new home! Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Sunny who is made for the great outdoors. If you like hiking, skiing or anything that involves the outside, Sunny will want to be your adventure buddy. He will not be shy about chasing a squirrel or two. His fur is made for rolling in the snow.. Where are his ears? They are under that big fur coat which will need brushing and grooming, but it will be worth your effort because he is a beauty when cleaned up. Sunny is not a destroyer dog, he does not tear up things. He is a very nice and loving dog who loves chew bones and treats. He will need a big protected outdoor space and many opportunities to safely explore the world beyond his space . Have you been wanting a hiking companion? Want someone to hit the slopes with you? How about someone to curl up next to you after a long day exploring our beautiful area? If so, Sunny is the guy for you. Bring a leash to our San Diego campus and check out your new best buddy. It would be nice if you have a good brush at home and some dog chew bones in case Sunny and you go home together. Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Black Weight: 105 Age: 7yrs 8mths 0wks

We got Gordo gifted to us back in 12/11/2021. Gordo is 2.5years. It was love at first sight! We immediately clicked and created a very nice bond. Gordo is very playful and is very good around kids. Unfortunately after the flooding in 1/22/2024 we lost our home after it collapsed. We are currently still looking for a place to live with our 2 children. As much as it hurts we can no longer keep Gordo. He deserves the extra attention and a nice family who is able to continue caring for him.
