I am in need of rehoming my dog because I have some medical issues going on and I cannot tend to her as I should. She is an amazing, loving, beautiful dog, who deserves a home that she will be cared for properly and is also given time and love.

Story
This is Bella. She is 5 years old. She is a very good girl. She loves walks and going on runs. She is very protective of her family. We are rehoming her because we can no longer give her the attention she deserves. Our son is a toddler and he is way too rough with her, and she doesn't deserve that. She needs a family without very young kids or other dogs. She is great with older kids that can give her space.

Story
How this pet arrived:Blu was brought in by her previous owner. At SDHS:Blu is vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is now ready for her new home! Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Blu! Her prior owner said that she lived with another dog, but she is "scared" of new dogs, so it might be best if she went to a home without other dogs. Blu has a bit of nervousness when meeting new people. She especially seems to be worried about men in hats. Because of her initial fearfulness with new people, we are recommending she go to a home without small kids (under 10). Her prior owner describes her as a well housebroken pet who is "lazy and sweet". She loves car rides and leash walks. If you would like to meet Blu, please visit our Escondido Campus. Be sure to bring a leash and collar, so you can give Blu a fun car ride home with you!Shy/Fearful Dog: This pet requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS VIDEO to learn more about them.

Story
Evette was saved off the euthanasia list. She’s looking for her happily ever after. Evette had entered a shelter after she was abandoned by her family. She was found in the back yard of a home that caught fire, but no one claimed her, so into the shelter system she went. She was one of the few lucky ones who were rescued and is currently in a foster home in Los Angeles. Evette loves car rides, does amazing with kids. She is spayed and current on her vaccinations and also has lots of energy so she would do best with a home that has a backyard and someone who will walk her every day. Her foster mom says of Evette they are still working on introductions to other dogs. Her default is interest and wanting to play, although she doesn’t know how to play yet so she can be a little rough, mouthy. For these reasons, if joining another home, it would be best with a dog that is tolerant and well adjusted. She’s still learning and adapting well overall in her foster home. With a slow introduction and an experienced handler her confidence will start to shine.

Story
Hi, this is Sebastian he is a full breed boxer and he is 2 years old. He’s very social and loves attention and hugs. He has grown up around his 2 other brothers from same litter but unfortunately due to moving I cannot keep him. He’s very friendly and loves to run and play catch. He loves making friends at the dog park. He has a great personality and we are so sad to have to see him go. He need’s special attention to his diet because he’s allergic to chicken and eats a salmon & rice blend dog food. Also he has sensitive skin due to these food allergies. He’s the smallest out of all his brothers I’d say he weighs low 60’s lbs! He is microchipped and he is fixed. With up to date shots!

Story
owned Jax since he was a small puppy, and bought him from family friends who had bought his sister. He is a fun and playful dog who loves to run and play, but also loves to cuddle and relax :) He is a good guard dog and is working on his barking. He has a bark collar that you can have that helps curb that. We have three children and he is great with kids and is very protective of his family. The reason we’re rehoming is because having 2 medium/large dogs need a larger yard where they can run, dig, and play; and our busy schedules with work, school, sports, etc has increased this year to the point where they need more focus and attention which we can’t provide them anymore. We want them to go to a loving family with a large yard for them to run.
