Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Check Me out ! Meet Wally, a cherished member of the Nut Crew. He and his siblings were rescued from a high-kill shelter in Downey, California, where their fearful mother faced euthanasia. The shelter was unaware of her pregnancy until she arrived and gave birth shortly after. ASR swiftly intervened to relocate this vulnerable family from the stressful shelter environment, saving their mother from being put down. Wally is the second biggest from the nut crew. He likes to be the one to instigate play time. He loves his down time to cuddle as well. Rapidly growing, he is expected to reach a medium-larger size of 60-70 lbs when fully grown. He is around 8.5 months old is house and leash trained. He's respectful of older pups and taking cues from other dogs. He knows commands like sit, lay down, and touch. He's active pup and loves chewing on his toys. He does well with kids but can be nervous with their unpredictable movements which may startle him. He sleeps soundly at night and has even coexisted with cats. He'd make a great companion for any family! His adoption fee of $495 includes vaccines, a microchip, and neuter.

She has many traits of her beautiful breed including intelligence, loyalty, and friendliness. Chestnut is a very smart and athletic dog that would do great on agility courses. She still plays like a puppy and loves learning new things. Chestnut is house and crate trained.

She is very at ease around children enjoying cuddles and head scratches. She's been introduced to cats and does well with supervision. Once she knows and trusts you she is very sweet, obedient and eager to please.  Who wouldn’t be captivated by her beautiful eyes!!

Story
Meet Shelby This sweet 3-year-old girl has had a tough journey. Shelby was once adopted, but sadly, her person passed away. After that, she was boarded at a kennel facility in Spring Valley, San Diego — and no one ever came back for her. Shelby is shy and timid, but behind those gentle eyes is a heart that just wants to feel safe and loved again. She’s been living in a kennel for far too long and deserves a patient, kind person who can show her what it means to have a real home. The Heroic Tail Rescue is stepping in to help Shelby find her forever family — and will even provide free training if needed to help her adjust and build confidence. If you’re ready to give Shelby the love and security she’s been waiting for, please send us a message or apply online at www.theheroictail.orgOctober 6, 2025, 2:30 am

Story
Coax and Jameson are six-year-old Aussie/Husky mix brothers, 65 lbs each, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. They were raised from an accidental litter and need a new home after their family moved and downsized following the arrival of a newborn. Outdoors They're high-energy, smart, and eager to please; indoors They're mellow, affectionate, and independent. Coax is the more expressive sibling, while Jameson is gentle and quiet. They alert to strangers near the home but are friendly on walks. They do well with similar-sized dogs and are good with smaller animals when supervised. Both have no history of aggression toward people or children. Jameson previously had a damaged tooth removed but has no current issues. Their last vet visit was 08/01/2025. They're healthy, playful companions looking for an active home. It is with a heavy heart that I need to rehome them. They are my my family- but the change in lifestyle is unfair to them/us all.
