Story
Awesome Jericho's Promise Jagger is available for adoption in Southern California! Super sweet boy looking for a family that likes leash walks only, or likes staying home without many visitors. He is a perfect boy at home with his people, but gets defensive/possibly protective of his family when others come over, or he meets them on walks. With his family, he is the sweetest boy, and very well behaved, he is potty trained, and crate trained. He gets along great with other dogs and is ok with cats. He gets along with children that he belongs to, but not children that he doesn't know well. He is apprx one year old. His mama is a dachshund/terrier mix, but he looks like he also has lab in his mix, and maybe a spaniel of some sort. Whatever he is, he is a GORGEOUS boy! Long curly hair, that is glossy black. He weighs about 35 pounds, so a great size for someone in an apartment that doesn't want a tiny dog. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. Please let me know if you would be interested in meeting him! Can transport throughout Southern California!

Story
*Courtesy Post* (San Diego) This is Blue, he is an 8 year old neutered male. He is crate trained, and potty trained. He is a big lover, however very protective of his home and an alpha dog. He seems to have some anxiety/stress due to the foot traffic constantly passing his current home situation. He would be best in a home with a yard, and no other dogs. He is a super loyal dog, and does well in the car. Loves walks, and tug a war. If interested please contact Kim at (760)310-0325 kdietrich714@gmail.comApril 25, 2024, 5:29 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Gentle, sweet and a little bit shy, but absolutely gorgeous!Meet Kona, a gorgeous, furry white and brown female pup who was rescued along with her littermates after being found in the desert with their mama in La Paz, BCS, Mexico. Kona is a little bit shy, but very gentle and sweet. She loves to snuggle in your arms and give you kisses when you pick her up, and her fur is oh so soft! Kona was rescued when she was just a few weeks old, and grew up in a foster home with good vet care, food, and lots of love and attention. Her mama is a small/medium sized terrier mix around 30 lbs, and we think there is some Shar Pei in this litter from the dad's side, but Kona looks like an Aussie shepherd mixed with a little husky. She is sterilized, vaccinated and ready to find her forever family!

Story
Katie is 2 years old, super smart, and very alert. She was living with a family member who can no longer keep her so we have been fostering. Our dogs are older and her energy is not a good fit for our household. She would do well with younger dogs, a big yard, and would be a great protector. Very loyal and always likes to watch TV.

Story
Sira's start in life is unknown but her journey here was rough.  Caught by animal control as a stray and young, she stayed pancaked at the back of her kennel and was not receptive to touch.  Shelter life was literally killing her.  She was failing and doomed to death.  The rescue coordinator reached out and asked us a favor, knowing she is our type of dog.  At the time we had space and said yes.  Sira was a unique case because she did not grow with time.  She stayed stagnant so we pushed her.  After several weeks of decompression, environmental exposure to the facility and dogs she continued to recoil at human touch or interaction.  Very likely feral it meant we needed to push or let her stay forever stagnant.  Despite the recoil you could see her soften and start to enjoy, if not invite, her regular massage sessions.  Eventually she opened up and learned to be a dog.  She is one of the more affectionate dogs at the faciility.  She is easy going, a true home body and good to just chill where she knows it's safe.  She seeks interaction from those she knows and trusts.  She is happy and content as long as her out of the normal activity and exposure is limited.  She's looking for a very patient, quiet home with adults who will assist her in gaining confidence. She loves to be pet and has a silly playful side when she feels comfortable with her people and her surroundings. Her ideal home would be one with minimal expecations she do "dog worldly" things.  She'd love to stay home, have just her yard, chill in the comfort of what she knows with the people she loves.  Is that you? Because of my Flight Risk I cannot be left unattended in a yard, crate training is a must when you are gone, tight grip on the leash is a must on adventures and my new family must be aware of open doors and windows.  NO offleash activities in unfenced areas for life.
