Breed: American StaffyAge: 8 years oldWeight: 40 lbsPersonality: -has vision issues (possibly a recent thing) and if you move to quick, can get defensive. Once she sniffs/licks you she’s fine. -LOVES to sleep in bed with people and doesn’t move an inch -has had some sort of Trauma at some point and is learning to trust again (if you know the breed, they typically bounce back quickly. She is taking a bit). After 3 weeks with Babs she play bows and wiggles when she runs around the house. -*caution* she WILL weasel her way into your heart really quickly. -ok in a crate (might do better on a consistent potty schedule with the crate)   Flight Risk: do not leave unattended in a yard, crate training is a must when you are gone, tight grip on the leash is a must on adventures.

Story
Whiskey is a 5 year old American Staffordshire. He is house broken and crate trained. He does great on a gentle leader leash. He loves belly rubs, being outdoors, and playing. He does well around large and small dogs, not a fan of cats. Would thrive best in a home with older children. Overall, he is low energy in the house, just like a big old house cat. Whiskey is such a good boy.

Story
Meet Yammie, Yammers, Yamala, or Yam as she is lovingly called was born on thanksgiving day to her sweet mom Kara. We saved her mom from a high-kill shelter and found out she was pregnant while she was in our care and we are so thankful for our thanksgiving pups. Yammie is the shiest of the siblings and is really loyal and loving, but she has been showing a new confident and outgoing side with her most recent loving foster mom. Her new foster mom has been reinforcing her housetraining and teaching her to walk on a leash! She is a quick learner and loves to please. She likes to follow her foster mom around and she loves it when she gets picked up for kisses and hugs. She is a sweet soul that needs a loving person or family. She is friendly with other dogs and would work well in a household with children. If interested, please submit an application on our website at https://www.sandiegoanimalsanctuary.com/adopt. If approved, our volunteers will get back to you within 48 hours. All dogs are fully vaccinated and spayed/or neutered before adoption. We will adopt out of state to approved adopters.

Story
6yr old Bridget lingered at the Imperial County Shelter for 5 months and after a few short days in a loving foster home, she has proven to be all her Boxer breed has to offer. Playful, Respectful, completely housetrained, joyful and fun to be around. She loves the companionship of some other dogs, as well as enjoying toys, she knows the difference between a shoe that is not hers to chew and a toy that she clearly will chew. Bridget can go from calm, chill to "let's go for a walk" in an instant. She rides well in a car, she loves the outdoors and her walks, she is a zig zagger on walks so we are working to work on that, but all in all, this girl is well behaved, respects boundaries and is a diamond in the ruff of the rough. Keep an eye out on this lovely girl, she is ready to join your family and bring you endless joy for many years to come. She's a completed application away from a chance to meet her at https://lionelslegacy.org/adopt/adoption-application/
