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.

Story
We are looking to find a perfect home for our 4 1/2 year old American Pitbull Terrier, Theodore. We adopted him as a puppy and have been his only family. He has high energy and needs someone who lives an active lifestyle and has a yard for him to play in. Some of his favorite activities are hiking, camping, going to the dog beach (he does not like swimming though), and playing at home with his rubber tug toy. He is amazing with older kids and LOVES other dogs. He had been around cats his entire life, so he isn't phased by them much (he ignores them). He comes with his vet records, E-Collar, toys, leash, collars, and several other accessories.

Story
Jojo is a high energy puppy (4months) in need of a rehome. She is not recommended in a home with young children until she has had more training. She is more mouthy than usual and is showing early signs of poor bite inhibition. Would recommend she go to a home with other dogs and recommend continued training as she is highly intelligent and shows a lot of promise. Jojo loves a lot of attention and affection. She loves to play fetch and tug, but can get over stimulated which leads to her being overly mouthy. Jojo learns very quickly and has been in basic puppy training. Jojo is partially potty trained. She is on puppy pads during the night as she is kept inside. She loves her mat, blankie, and crate.

How this pet arrived: Tinker was brought in by a community member on November 28, 2023. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Tinker! This sweet beauty is ready to be your furry companion. This gorgeous girl isn't just all looks! She is a gentle gal on walks and loves sniffing in and taking in the sights and smells around her. She can constantly be found romping around outside playing fetch, as well as doing various tricks for treats! While Tinker enjoys the company of others, it's essential not to overwhelm her. Gradual introductions and a gentle approach will help her build confidence and form strong bonds. Once she gets to know you, she loves to be pet and will even do a little happy dance when you give her back scratches! Tinker does have some medical concerns and will need a family that is dedicated to keeping her happy and healthy! Is Tinker the one for you? Please visit our Oceanside Campus to say hello to Tinker! Don't forget to bring a leash and collar! Primary Color: Blue Secondary Color: White Weight: 75.8 Age: 4yrs 5mths 0wks
