Story
Paco is a neutered male black and white Staffi/Lab mix. He is 18 months old and weighs 60 lbs. so he will be a big boy when fully grown. He has been raised in Mexico by a lovely family and all vaccines are up to date and he is housetrained. Paco has lots of energy! He would love a yard to run in and a friend to play with. He is good with other dogs although he is overly anxious during initial introductions. He currently lives with several other dogs. He has not been around cats. Paco is as sweet as can be and loves kids. He just wants to find his own person or family to love. Because he’s young, obedience training would help him be the best dog he can be. To meet Paco, contact Dana by email or text: dkmikel@gmail.com or text 760.519.5532.

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter,
Story
A fun, loving, dog that behaves well around adults, and loves to play. He is house trained and knows basic commands and is semi-obedient, but is very food and toy motivated (for training). Shows aggression towards animals because of past altercations with other aggressive dogs, and needs to be the only animal in the home. Unfortunately, as of late, Riley has shown signs of aggression towards our toddler and we haven't had the time to give Riley the attention he deserves. Needs a home ASAP.

Story
How this pet arrived: Rosie was brought in by her previous owner on September 7, 2022.Why this pet is the one for you: Rosie is a fun girl who is looking for her next adventure! She takes her time when building relationships with new people and the quickest way to win her over are toys - Rosie turns into a puppy when she sees a toy and will do zoomies all around! This smart gal also loves treats and already knows how to sit and shake and can't wait to learn even more fun tricks... for a price, of course! She will thrive in a small household with older respectful children who are at least 7 years old. She has mixed emotions with dogs and would do best in a home as the only dog in the home or with a smaller dog that comes to meet her beforehand. If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion who enjoys cuddles and quiet moments at home, Rosie could be the perfect match for you. Bring a leash and collar and come meet her today! Shy/Fearful Dog: Rosie requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them. SPONSORED FEEGreat news! This pet has been sponsored! This means that half of the adoption fee has already been paid for by someone who wants to help this pet find a cherished home. Her adoption fee is now only $50!

Story
How this pet arrived: Fawn was brought in by a Good Samaritan on May 2, 2023. Why this pet is the one for you: Meet Fawn! Fawn is a vibrant and friendly dog who is ready to bring joy and excitement to her new home. She would like to go home to a family that can take her on long walks and give her plenty of treats. Her exuberant personality makes her a fantastic companion that also loves to relax and cuddle with her favorite people once she's comfortable. Fawn's ideal home would be an adult-only and single-dog household, as she has shown some reactivity towards other dogs. Using positive reinforcement training, her new family can help Fawn blossom into her best self. This playful pup has would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where she can run and explore to her heart's content. Regular exercise and mental stimulation will be key in keeping Fawn happy and well-balanced. Although Fawn is full of energy, she also craves affection and loves being doted on. She'll appreciate a family that can give her plenty of pets, cuddles, and attention! Sound like a good fit? Bring in a leash and collar and ask about Fawn today!   Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 54.4 Age: 2yrs 4mths 2wks

Story
This is a COURTESY LISTING for another rescue. ARRF is unfamiliar with this dog, so please see her contact information at the end of this write-up. Thank you! Marlowe, ID#A1653480, is available for adoption through the San Diego County Animal Services, Carlsbad location! She is a Boxer mix with brindle coloring and weighs just over 58 lbs. She's 11 years old, but don't let her age fool you - she is full of fun! She spent some time at a foster home, and her foster parents say she is housetrained, crate trained, loves car rides, and walks nicely on a leash! She is affectionate and likes to be touched, and she cherishes being with people and knowing she’s loved. Marlowe knows to leave it, sit, down, go to bed, shake, and wait; she knows to “wait” (sit patiently) until told that it's OK to eat her food. Her favorite things are treats, frozen Kongs, naps, going for walks, doing zoomies, playing with a tennis ball, and people! And true to her Southern California lifestyle, she loves, loves, loves being outside and relaxing in the sun. Marlowe is a “low-maintenance” content girl with an incredibly sweet disposition. Do you think Marlowe would make a pawfect addition to your family? Marlowe is available for foster or adoption at the San Diego County Animal Shelter, 2481 Palomar Airport Road, Carlsbad, CA 92011. You can meet Marlowe without an appointment Tues-Fri from 1 pm to 3:30 pm or Sat-Sun from 10 am to 3:30 pm. If you prefer, you can call (619) 767-2675 for an appointment. Marlowe's ID number is A1653480.
