Click Addie's picture to see her video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
Addie is an 8-year-old Maltese weighing 7-pounds, full grown. She wound up in a shelter, and when it was discovered that she had severe dental disease, Maltese And More Rescue immediately took her into their program so that she could receive the medical care she needed. Now, she's in a wonderful foster home where she loves to cuddle up to her foster mom, and is very affectionate, sweet and calm. She'll make an excellent companion for some lucky person. Addie walks really well on a leash, and rides nicely in the car, plus she gets along great with other dogs and cats. So, if you're the type of person who likes to bring your pup along with you on social outings, shopping, or to the coffee shop, Addie would be an excellent choice for you. Senior citizens would love her because she's so easy-going and well-mannered. Addie has been vetted, microchipped, vaccinated, spayed, and her dental issues have been taken care of, so now she's ready to be placed in a loving home. Google "Maltese And More Rescue" to see a link to their website, or call their director on her voicemail at 858-349-5918.

|Daisy was rescued in Baja more than a year ago, & was adopted from ARWOB shortly thereafter. Daisy was very outgoing, happy, and a great socialite with other dogs. She was a little shy with people but quickly warmed up, especially to the people she knew, like her foster family. When she was adopted, she was crate trained and had just learned to be house broken, and she lived with other dogs as well. Sadly, she was adopted by a family who decided they didn't have time for her, and they ignored her and left her alone to forget all the hard work and effort her foster had put into training her. Now, she's back with the rescue group looking for a new home....this time with a family or person who has other dogs, and can keep her well-socialized at off leash dog parks or with other social interaction. She enjous having company, and benefit greatly from doggy obedience & training, so that she can learn the proper skills to become a great family member. She is just a beautiful sweet young girl who would love a forever family that will make her PART OF THE FAMILY, and not just throw her in a backyard and ignore her. To foster or adoot, go to ARWOB.org.
Click on Ty's picture to see his video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
|Meet Ty, he's a super loving and friendly 5-year-old Yorkie mix. He's fun and playful and will do well in a home with another dog or kids. His foster family reports that he's house-trained, and the perfect indoor dog who is trustworthy when left alone at home, and he sleeps quietly in his bed all night. He's also not a barker and smart as a whip. It didn't take him any time at all to learn to stay off the furniture. Ty was purchased by his previous family at a puppy store. But recently they brought in a new bulldog who didn't like Ty, so they were keeping Ty in their car. Fortunately, a neighbor noticed him and convinced the family to let her take Ty to a rescue who can find him a proper home. Now, Ty is in a loving Scratch My Belly foster home where he loves everyone he meets, big and small, including all other dogs. He's fun on walks, and will be an excellent dog to take to Dog Beach. As a plus, his foster mom says he doesn't shed much as all, and might be a great choice for someone who's sensitive to dog fur. If you're interested in meeting Ty, please contact Scratch My Belly rescue at (858) 344-2423 or go to Scratchmybelly.org for more information. He's neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and ready for a home!

Sparky is a 13-pound, 11-month-old Schnauzer mix puppy for adoption from Animal Rescuers Without Borders. He's just the cutest little buggar! Just 2 months ago, he was a Baja stray, and you wouldn't even recognize him. He was shaggy, dirty and caked in mud, and so skinny he was literally starving to death. He was rescued from the streets by a good Samaritan and fostered in Ensenada until he was moved to a San Diego foster home. Now he's ready to find his forever family. Sparky is amazing! He's super sweet with all people he meets. He's great with cats and loves other dogs. We know that because he currently lives with both dogs and cats. He didn't like to be left alone when he was initially rescued, but now he's doing very well when his foster family puts him in a crate or their yard. He's not yet house-trained, but he's a quick learner and his foster family is working with him on this. Sparky loves car rides, and will be the type of dog you can take to off-leash dog parks, beaches, and pet-friendly restaurants. ARWOB isn't holding an adoption event this weekend, but if you call or go to ARWOB.org, they will schedule a meet-and-greet at your convenience!
Click on Cha Cha's picture to see her video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
|Cha Cha is here to promote the amazing adoption event going on at the El Cajon Animal Shelter, right now through this Saturday! Adoption fees have been reduced to just $20 for any of the precious adoptables at the shelter, and they're all spayed or neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped! This is a great deal! Now, back to this little Chihuahua...Cha Cha is 5 years old, and she wound up at the shelter as a stray. She's so sweet and enjoys the company of other dogs, but the noise and activity at the shelter is making her quite nervous. She's the perfect size for a lap dog and would probably be best in a quiet home, or at least a home with older, more gentle kids. If you want to come to the shelter to meet Cha Cha, they have a play yard where you can get to know her, and if you have a dog already, you can let them interact together. The El Cajon Animal Shelter is located on North Marshall Street, two blocks north of Fletcher Parkway. They're open Tuesday thru Saturday 10am to 5pm, and closed Sundays and Mondays. Don't forget their amazing $20 adoption fees only last until Saturday, so there's never been a better time to check out the animals at this facility!
Click on Samwise's picture to see his video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
|A perfect name for a perfect pup. Samwise, named after the most loyal Hobbit of all time, is on his own adventure to find a forever family of his own. This Scruffy Norfolk Terrier mix is the biggest lovebug, who likes to wrestle and play with his foster brother. When it's time to calm down, he's happy to snuggle and curl up for a good nap next to his foster family. His favorite toy is ALL of them. He's just such a joyous, happy puppy. Sam is 5 months old and weighs about 12-pounds...that's about half his expected adult size. His foster family is working on his housetraining skills so that the transition into a new home can be as seamless as possible. At The Rescued Dog's most recent adoption event, this adorable puppy interacted well with children and all the other dogs in attendance. He's a lively, funny little guy who is sure to make you laugh. If you're interested in learning more about Sam, please fill out an adoption application at TheRescuedDog.org, and a volunteer will be in touch to schedule a meet and greet at your convenience. You can also learn more about temporarily fostering other dogs in need, just like Samwise.
Click Chance's picture to see his video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
This 14-week-old Dachshund mix puppy is named Chance. He's an adorable little guy who weighs just over 5-pounds, but is still growing.. He's long and low like a Dachshund, but has soft fluffy hair, with uniquely furry ears. We're not exactly sure what Chance is mixed with, but it certainly is adorable. This sweet boy loves all people, and adores playing with the other dogs in his foster home. He's also sweet enough to be placed in a home with nice cats. He's a quick learner; he learned to sit and lay down in one day, and he's working hard on his house training, with the guidance of his foster family. Chance is neutered, has had his puppy shots, is microchipped and vet-checked. He's all ready to go to his forever home. If you google Maltese And More Rescue, you'll be able to find their website easily. Just click on Chance's picture and fill out an adoption application. You can also come meet lots of Malteses and other tiny breeds at the La Jolla Petsmart during one of their regularly scheduled events.
Click on Sweet Pea's picture to see her video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
|Sweet Pea was rescued with a litter of her 8 newborn puppies, and her puppy from a previous litter. Of course all the adorable pups have been adopted, but here sits Sweet Pea, patiently waiting for someone to give her a chance. Sweet Pea has been in a loving foster home for about a month. Her teeth are worn down from a previous life of being tethered and left with nothing to do but chew on her chain. She's just learning that it's okay to be inside the home, and still gets a little nervous indoors. Her foster family lets her hang outside when they're at work, but she comes in when they come home from work She's one of the most calm, well behaved girls you will ever meet. She's very sweet with adults and children alike, she's good with cats, and great with dogs. She doesn't play rough with other dogs, she's really more content to just hang out with them, and maybe engage in a game of tug-o-war. Sweet Pea is a great companion dog. She travels well in the car, and walks nicely on a leash. She's healthy, spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. Animal Rescuers Without Borders asks a $250 adoption fee, but they use that donation to help cover Sweet Pea's costs, and if anything is left over, they immediately put it toward saving the next dog or cat in need.

Meet Briggs, WDR's resident hippo! He's big, beefy and such a sweetie - built like a linebacker :) Briggs looks like an American Bully, a blend of bulldog and pit bull. He's a cool blue tricolor, and his former owner abandoned him at the shelter saying he was too much energy. YA RIGHT! This dog is anything but. :) Briggs is about 4 years young and weighs 80ish pounds. He came to us in bedraggled shape but with clean living, nutritious food and supplements, his coat has returned to full shiny health. He seems to have lacked any training before being taken in by WDR. Briggs has been working on his manners and behavior and has come far in the very skilled care of one of our best foster homes. We saw the potential in this stocky gem of a dog and just needed the right people to help him realize it, and he's turned into one of their favorite dogs of all time! Briggs gets along great with dogs of all sizes and really enjoys playtime with pals. He loves belly rubs, is super loyal, and as you might imagine he's something of a people magnet. Good thing he loooooves the attention!! Beefcake Briggs is looking for a forever family with an above average understanding of dogs; a family who lives a leadership lifestyle with your well mannered animals. He needs people willing to set boundaries - for life, not just a few months - in a quieter child free home environment. A well matched, calm adult companion dog might be nice but not necessary for this people lover. He's NOT cat tolerant. Briggs has been learning that Nothing In Life Is Free - NILIF. This lifestyle philosophy will help Briggs continue to excel in his forever future with YOU :) He's working on not jumping up when he gets excited and although it's a tough habit to break, he's really excelling. Oh, and be prepared for LOTS of kisses!

Witchy, named after an Eagles song, is available for adoption at the Greyhound Adoption Center. She's 4-years-old, warm, loving, and playful with people she trusts...but she's having difficulty showing that side of her personality when potential adopters meet her She tends to shy away and just doesn't show well, so this is really her big chance to sell herself. She'd do best in a home with mature, mellow dogs or cats, and she'll make an excellent addition to a home with older kids and dog savvy adopters. Dogs from the Greyhound Adoption Center have a complete medical evaluation, are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and get their teeth cleaned, plus they're evaluated for temperament and personality. You can meet Witchy and all the dogs on Sunday at the Center's Open House, and tour of their facility from 1-to-3 PM at 4821 Dehesa Road, in El Cajon. Visit with volunteers and learn more about greyhound rescue, rehab, adoption, and volunteer opportunities. Also look for GAC at the Del Mar Fall Home and Garden Show in the O'Brien Building next Friday through Sunday. Call (877) 478-8364, or visit HoundSavers.org. SAN DIEGO ANIMAL SUPPORT FOUNDATION
Click on Phoenix and Yuma's picture to see their video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
|Phoenix and Yuma are two sisters from a litter of 7 puppies who will all be available this Saturday at the Animal Rescuers Without Borders adoption event. The litter of puppies was rescued from Baja four weeks ago, and the pups, 4 boys and 3 girls, have been quarantined in a San Diego foster home since then. Now that they're 2 months old and have had their vet check, they're being spayed or neutererd, microchipped and vaccinated in preparation for this Saturday's big adoption event at the Clairemont Petsmart from 11 AM to 2 PM. These two sweet little girls are you're typical happy, playful puppies. They're Dachshund and Chihuahua, and though they weigh just 4 pounds now, they could be 15-to-20 pounds, full grown. If puppies aren't your thing, and you'd rather have a dog who is already housetrained, be sure to visit ARWOB.org and come out to the event to meet lots of puppies and dogs for adoption. Those that aren't lucky enough to be adopted will be needing foster families, so if you're not ready to make a commitment, they could use your help taking care of the pups until a forever home is found.
Click Dahlia's picture to see her video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
Dahlia is an adorable little Chigle, which is my new designer-breed name for a Chihuahua/Beagle mix. She was originally at the Humane Society of Imperial County, but then The Rescued Dog noticed her and put her into one of their local foster homes. Dahlia is sweet, loyal, and looking for a fun and affectionate forever home. She's super loving and connects especially well with her human friends. Dahlia loves to snuggle, so if you're looking for someone to keep you company on the couch, Dahlia just might be your girl. She's about 13 pounds, which is the perfect size for a lap warmer. Dahlia walks well on leash, and gets along with other dogs, making her a fun little pup to take out on the town! She's also crate trained and house trained. She's 1-year-old, and the perfect age to start her life with her forever family. If you'd like to meet Dahlia, please fill out an adoption appication at TheRescuedDog.org to arrange a meet and greet, or come meet her tonight at Mission Brewery for Yappy Hour, sponsored by The Honest Kitchen. The Rescued Dog gets $1 for every pint sold....so it's a great excuse to grab your friends and your dogs and come out for a good cause!
As featured on KUSI GOOD MORNING SAN DIEGO (and click here to see Melissa's TV debut on San Diego 6-CW Animal Hous)
Melissa is one of 79 rabbits rescued by San Diego House Rabbit Society from a HOARDING situation in Warner Springs in July. She was one of the few lucky bunnies with minimal health issues and will soon be available for adoption after her spay. Melissa is a sweet, but shy girl. Because of her previous life of neglect, she's going to need a patient loving family who will help bring her out of her shell. Maybe finding the right bunny boyfriend, will give her the confidence she needs to blossom. Meanwhile, the House Rabbit Society is holding their famous annual BUNNYFEST event next weekend, on Sunday, September 18 from 10 AM to 4 PM in Balboa Park, at Park Blvd. & Presidents Way. This HUGE annual event includes vendors selling bunny-themed items, a silent auction, Bunny Agility, veterinarians, a Kid's Corner and Bunny Games! Rabbit related presentations will be held throughout the day. There's a suggested $1 donation for entry, and the first 100 people receive a bunny swag-bag!! People are encouraged to bring their bunnies! Check it out at SanDiegoBunnyfest.org.
Click Hans' picture to see his video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
Hans, and his brother Franz, who isn't here today, are both available for adoption at the El Cajon Animal Shelter, where they wound up after getting lost and not finding their way home. They're both 3-year-old Miniature Schnauzers with the same happy, loving and affectionate personalities. It'd be awesome to keep them together, but it's understood that not everyone wants to adopt two dogs, so they can be separated, if necessary. Either one of these boys would be a wonderful companion, and an excellent family pet. Hans and Franz love to be around people and other dogs. They're house-trained and would probably do well in either a house or a condo environment, and they enjoy taking daily walks. Hans is good with all people, and also loves other dogs. The very reasonable adoption fee of just $80 includes neutering, microchip, and vaccinations. Please come visit Hans And Franz at the El Cajon Animal Shelter, 1275 N. Marshall Street, two blocks north of Fletcher Parkway. You can take one or both pups out into the play yard and get better acquainted. The shelter is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10am to 5pm, closed Sundays and Mondays.
Click on Domino's picture to see his video on San Diego 6-CW Anial House
Domino is a 7 to 8 year old male Pomeranian who was recently pulled out of the one of our local County municipal animal shelters, and placed into a Maltese & More Rescue foster home. Dogs who are this age tend to get overlooked at the shelter, but it's important to remember that small dogs tend to live longer than their larger counterparts, so Domino is really only middle-aged. This little guy weighs just 4 1/2 pounds. He's friendly, happy and quiet, and just likes to hang out with his people. Domino loves going for car rides with his foster mom and gets along great with other dogs as well as cats. He'd make a perfect companion for a senior citizen, and Maltese And More has a "Senior to Senior" program with a reduced adoption fee of $250, which they will use to help offset their vet expenses for Domino, and hopefully have some left over to help the next dog in need. Domino has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, vet checked, and is ready to go when you are. If you're interested in adopting Domino, just google Maltese And More Rescue, and you should be guided to their website. Like all reputable agencies, they require an application and home-check before finalizing the adoption.
Click Jacob's picture to see his video on KUSI GOOD MORNING SAN DIEGO!
Jacob came into our rescue through the San Diego Department of Animal Services, Gaines shelter. He was very scared, lonely and confused, which led him to curl up and withdraw in the shelter. Since being in foster care, we have learned that Jacob is extremely friendly, happy and playful. He gets along great with his foster siblings and is just as sweet as can be to his foster mom. With Jacob's size and temperament, he would be an awesome family pet with children. Jacob weighs 14 lbs, is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and ready for his adoptive family.
Click on JJ's picture to see his video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House (and Click here to see JJ on KUSI GOOD MORNING SAN DIEGO!
|JJ is an 80-pound, people-loving Shepherd mix who was rescued last December by Border Patrol who found him starving in an isolated area near the US Border. He muzzle was, and still is, covered by scars that tell the story of how hard his life must've been before he was rescued. He's been available for adoption for almost 10-months, and ideally we'd love to find him a permanent home, but even if there's someone out there who could foster him until a forever home could be found, that would be great. As an incentive, Animal Rescuers Without Borders has reduced his adoption fee to $50, and he's been neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated and vet checked. He'd be perfect for a family without cats, and one with older kids. His last foster home consisted of an adult couple, a teen, and he also lived with several dogs. Since he's an alpha dog, he'd be great in a one-dog family, or one with a submissive female dog. He's probably not the best candidate for playing at the dog park. He's housebroken, crate-trained and rides well in a car. JJ loves his squeaky toys, he'll bring them to you when you come home, and he'll rest his head in your lap while you pet him. Visit ARWOB.org to fill out a foster or adopter application.
As featured on the Mighty 1090!
Mary Lou was relinquished by a family 2 months ago in Baja. They had purchased this little Maltese/Terripoo from a friend as a very young pup and now they just don't want her anymore. She's currently in a San Diego foster home and hoping for a new family to love. She's fully vaccinated, spayed and microchipped. She's been vet checked and is ready to go. She's a bit shy and reluctant with strangers when she first meets them, but in a couple of minutes, she settles in and relaxes, and then she loves getting as much attention as possible....just like any other dog. She has a calm personality but she's still just a 6-month-old puppy, so she'll need to play and will still need training. She's just 13-pounds now, but could reach 20, full grown. While she's not yet housebroken, they are crate training her and working on this project. Mary Lou is just learning to walk on the leash and is a quick learner. She'd be fine with most any family but she really loves other dogs and would prefer a home with other canines or someone who has time for puppies! Definitely not for someone who is gone for 8-to-10 hours a day! She does get a little car sick sometimes, but we're betting she'll get over that as she does it more often.
Click Marie's picture to see her video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
When she was just 2-months-old, this Terri-poo puppy named Marie was being given away for free on social media to anyone who'd take her, good or bad. Fearing for her safety, a rescuer made arrangements to come get her, and by the time she got to the location, Marie had already been abandoned under a car, next to traffic. She's now 4.5 months old, and safe and sound in a loving foster home until a forever family can be found. Marie weighs 13-pounds, but could reach 20-25, full grown. She's fine with children, but she has no sense of personal boundaries yet, so she'll jump up them when she gets excited. She's very outgoing, loving, and submissive. In fact, once in a while, she'll pee a little when she gets excited, but hopefully that will end as she gains confidence. This happy pup loves other dogs and cats...she doesn't have a mean bone in her body. Please submit an application today at ARWOB.org, and Marie's foster mom will meet with you so you can get to know her over the long Labor Day weekend. Because Animal Rescuers Without Borders is a legitimate non-profit, and doesn't receive any tax dollars, they do charge a $350 adoption fee which is rolled right into rescuing the next dog in need.
Click Austin's picture to see his video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
Austin is an adorable older Maltese mix who acts like a puppy. It's important to remember that even though Austin is 9-years-old, this little breed is expected to live for 15 years, so he's really only middle-aged. He's up for adoption because his previous owner passed away, and Maltese And More came to his rescue. Austin has beautiful white hair, that's cut short for now during the summer months, but it will grow long during the winter months if you'd like. He's the perfect size at about 9-pounds full-grown. He loves to go for walks and is great on a leash. He gets along great with other dogs, big and small, and loves to play with them. He's housetrained and behaves himself in the house when left alone. Austin is good with children and would love to have a family of his own to love and protect. His adoption fee not only includes his vaccinationos, microchip and neuter, but the rescue organization already put out the money to have a full dental cleaning done, which will save the future owner lots of money.
Click on Bentley's picture to see his video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
Bentley is a fun and friendly guy who came to The Rescued Dog from the Humane Society of Imperial County. Bentley's foster family reports that he's happiest when he's out and about for a walk. During his walks he's a curious, friendly guy who loves to smell things and greet other walkers, both humans and canines, along the way. Bentley has never met a dog he hasn't liked, and gets along great with the other dogs in his foster home. Bentley also loves his people, and is quite a snuggler. He's good about coming when you call him, and he'd love to learn more tricks and skills with his new forever family. Bentley weighs in at 7-pounds full grown. He is 2 1/2 years old as of this month. If you'd like to meet this little pint-sized Pomeranian/Cocker Spaniel mix, please fill out an application at TheRescuedDog.org and an adoption coordinator will be in touch to schedule a meet and greet. We also encourage you to contact them even if you can only foster a dog temporarily. Unfortunately, their ability to pull dogs out of municipal shelters is limited to the number of foster families they have, so please consider getting involved in volunteering.
Click on Chloe's picture to see her video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
|Chloe came to Maltese and More Rescue from the Central County Animal Shelter on Gaines Street, where she was treated for the deadly Parvo virus, which happens far too often in puppies who haven't been properly vaccinated. Luckily, she recovered beautifully in a foster home, where she received the love and care she needed. She has no lingering problems and is just a darling, quiet little girl. Chloe likes going on walks with her foster mom and she's learning to walk well on a leash. She's using a pee-pad while she continues to work on her house training, which is coming along very well, but remember, she's just a 5-month-old puppy, so she's going to need someone who has the time to work with her and train her properly. Chloe is a shy, and sweet companion who gets along well with other dogs and cats. She's a healthy, happy Maltipoo, which is a so called designer dog, created by mixing the adorable maltese breed with the low-shedding poodle breed. Her adoption fee covers her spay, vaccinations, and microchip. Since rescue organizations don't receive tax dollars, they use the adoption fees to cover their expenses so they can continue to rescue more dos in the future.
Click Poppy's picture to see his video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
Mr. Poppy is a very sweet 10-year-old male Chihuahua weighing 9-pounds. This little guy was abandoned at the Carson Shelter where he didn't stand a chance of getting out alive at his age. He was alone, depressed, and confused. But now he's so happy to be out of the shelter. Thanks to his loving foster home, he's quickly blossomed into a wonderful companion and a perfect gentleman. He shows his appreciation every day by being cuddly and giving lots of kisses. He loves chilling on the couch watching TV with his people. His foster mom says he's one of the best dogs she's ever taken care of. Poppy gets along great with other dogs. He's respectful, obedient quiet and calm. He's also housebroken. His adoption fee is only $75, and that includes his neuter, micro-chip, and all his vaccinations. As an incentive, a certified dog trainer is offering free training. For more information about Poppy, please contact Judy with Holly's Garden Small Breed Rescue at (858) 271-4900. You can also go to HollysGarden.com for more information about other small breed dogs available for adoption, or to learn how you can become a foster family for a dog like Poppy.

Skye has been at the Coronado Animal Shelter for more than 6 months. She's a shelter staff favorite, and while they would love to have her continue to be a Coronado Paws Pitty Ambassador, it's in her best interest to be adopted and become part of a loving family. Skye is amazing with all humans, however, because of her size and energy level, they don't recommend a family with small children. Though older teenagers would be fine. She's a VERY strong gal, and will need a strong handler or dog-savvy family. And while she may be okay living with smaller dogs or even a male dog, she'd be most ideal as an only pet. She seems to want to avoid cats altogether. She loves going on walks, and her favorite pastime is cuddling, so if you won't cuddle with her, she's not the girl for you. Skye is spayed, current on vaccinations and microchipped. Please contact PAWS of Coronado or go to PassionForPitties.com for an application. Both organizations are working together to get Skye out of the Coronado Shelter, and into a forever home. Even if you're not ready to make a permanent commitment, a temporary foster home would be greatly welcomed into the program. Please call for more information.
Click on June Bug's picture to see her video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
|June Bug was hit by a car, and thankfully, a witness scooped her up and took her to a nearby fire station, who then called for Animal Control. Since her owners never came to claim her, Maltese Rescue California was allowed to pull her from the shelter. She was limping and not bearing weight on her front leg, and X-rays failed to show any fractures. So she was given pain and anti-inflammatory medications, and soon she was walking on all four legs without any sign of discomfort. June Bug was examined by another vet and given a clean bill of health, and now that she's spayed, vaccinated and microchipped, she's ready for a loving family. This little Maltese mix puppy is full of life…happy, loving and eager to learn. She'd be great in a family with children, and can spend hours playing with other dogs. Because of her energy level, another canine companion is strongly recommended to keep her occupied. She's pretty much house trained but still needs some guidance, and she barks like a tough guy when strangers approach her people.

Ginger is a happy, friendly and confident, 1-year-old Beagle/Boston Terrier mix who just wants to have fun! Her previous owner took her to the El Cajon Animal Shelter because she was too energetic for apartment living. This is the type of girl who loves to play fetch, go on long walks, and would make an excellent hiking or jogging partner. She'll happily hop into the car and head out on any adventures with you, even if it's just exploring your own neighborhood. She likes to play with other dogs, so social time at the off-leash dog park would be awesome. And she'd make a good choice for a family who has older, dog-savvy kids to play with. Ginger is an affectionate pooch who appreciates attention, plus she's very smart and trainable...so she'll be happy to learn whatever you'd like to teach her. As a bonus, she's already house-broken, having lived in an apartment for the past year. If you have an active lifestyle or a yard where Ginger can play and get some exercise, please head to the El Cajon Animal Shelter on North Marshall Street, two blocks north of Fletcher Parkway. They're open Tuesday thru Saturday 10am to 5pm, and closed Sundays and Mondays, and well have a link to a list of all their adoptable pets on the CW6 Animal House page.

This adorable, handsome little Schnauzer wound up at the Humane Society of Imperial County, and The Rescued Dog pulled him from the shelter and put him into their foster program here in San Diego. Jasper is quite a social butterfly. He loves meeting new people and making new dog friends. He gets along great with pretty much everyone, including cats and children! Jasper loves going to the dog park to hang out with his canine buddies, and though he gets little spurts of playful energy, he doesn't need too much action during the day. Jasper also enjoys a good walk and behaves like a gentleman on the leash. When the fun is over, this guy is an expert snuggler. His foster mom reports that he's goofy, very sweet, and makes funny noises to express himself! Jasper is 3 years old as of this month, and weighs in at a whooping 13-pounds, full-grown. Jasper is crate trained and house trained, and would love to work on learning some basic commands with his new family. If you're looking for a fun and friendly little snuggle bug, maybe Jasper is your guy! To meet him, please fill out an application at TheRescuedDog.org and an adoption coordinator will be in touch to schedule a meet and greet.

|Always smiling, always happy Mila is a 3-year old, 50-pound Pit Bull who has been at the animal shelter in Bonita for A YEAR! She hasn't always been such a pretty Pitty, as she arrived at the shelter weighing an emaciated 20-pounds. She gained weight rapidly...13-pounds in the first 10 days...and is now a bit of a chunky monkey. She's smart, trainable, and will do anything for a treat! Mila is a volunteer favorite, and her kennel card is covered in notes like "My girl," "Love her," and "Gives the best kisses." She has met many adults and children at adoption events, and has loved them all...she's all about people. Mila is quiet, playful, respectful, leash-trained, and rides nicely in the car. She enjoys playing with her toys, especially squeakies, as well as belly rubs and splashing in kiddie pools. Mila needs to be a solo dog, as she doesn't do well with other animals, but not everyone is cut out for multiple animals in one house. Sometimes, one dog is all it takes! Mila comes spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and will go home with a gift basket of supplies and goodies...and YOU get to decide her adoption fee. The San Diego County Shelter is located at 5821 Sweetwater Road in Bonita, with literally hundreds of animals for adoption!
Click on Petey's picture to see his video on KUSI GOOD MORNING SAN DIEGO!
Petey is a 5 year old poodle/jack Russell mix weighing 13 lbs. Petey came into Maltese & More Rescue from our local shelter as he was one of 2 dogs abandoned in a crate and left in an alley in Ocean Beach during a heat spell we had in June. Petey is very playful, making him an awesome family dog. He gets along great with other dogs, people and loves children. We're not sure if he likes cats or not. He walks well on a leash, loves to play with toys and enjoys belly rubs. Petey is very healthy now that he has been in our care. He has been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped, making him ready for his forever home. M&M is NOT a shelter and doesn't receive government funds or tax dollars, therefore there is an adoption fee to help them pay for their medical expenses, and your donation is used to save the next dog!
Click Alabama's picture to see her video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House! (and Alabama was featured on the Mighty 1090)
Alabama is a 5-year-old retired greyhound residing at the Greyhound Adoption Center. She came from the Caliente racetrack in Mexico after registering an astounding 391 races during her lengthy career. Alabama can't live with cats or tiny dogs, but would be happy living with another dog over 30 pounds. Alabama is a happy, playful girl who will be a great companion for an active family with children. All dogs from the Greyhound Adoption Center have a complete medical evaluation, are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and get a thorough dental cleaning. They're evaluated for temperament and personality, and tested with cats, small dogs, and young children before being profiled for a home. Construction at the facility has forced them to cancel their August Open House; however, private kennel tours may still be arranged every day between the hours of 1 and 3 PM by appointment. It's a wonderful way to learn more about greyhound rescue, rehab, adoption, and volunteer opportunities. Meanwhile, the next Open House will be held on Sunday, September 18, between 1 and 3 PM. For more info call 877-HoundSavers or visit HoundSavers.org.
Click on Lilo and Stitch's picture to see their video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
|Lilo and Stitch are an inseparable bonded pair of senior Shih Tzus who are available for adoption from Lionel's Legacy Senior Dog Rescue. Lilo is about 10 years of age, and she's confident, outgoing and playful. Her lifelong companion, Stitch, is believed to be about 11 years old and is Mr. Mellow, very cuddly and always wanting to please. These two are both very social, very quiet, good with all pets and people, and well-trained. They even sleep quietly together in a crate. Together they are easy-peasy and very low-maintenance, which is, of course, one of the greatest benefits to adopting a senior pet. They will both require periodic grooming and would do best on a good quality diet to keep them in tip-top condition. Lilo and Stitch are spayed and neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and their blood work shows that they are both healthy and ready to find their forever home together. Even if you don't think you can permanently adopt these two, Lionel's Legacy would appreciate a temporary foster family to step up and love them until a forever home can be found. All supplies and medical care are covered. Please call or go to LionelsLegacy.org for more information.
Click on Radar's picture to see his video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
If you've been looking for a friend who's a good listener, Radar is all ears! This Belgian Malinois Shepherd/Hound mix is just 4 months old, and weighed 15-pounds at of the beginning of August. His foster mom tells us that he has a perfect mix of fun energy, and gentleness. He's crate-trained and house-trained. With his good nature, and always-wanting-to-please attitude, he'll truly excel with a little training. He already has some of the basic commands under his belt, such as "come", "sit", "down", and "leave it". Radar is calm, confident, and almost human in his intelligence with a high ability to learn. He'd LOVE a family with young children. He'd also appreciate another canine companion, although he'd be okay as a solo dog as long as he gets lots of social time, maybe at the off-leash dog parks. Radar loves to be mentally stimulated with different toys and outdoor games to keep him occupied. Don't miss your chance to meet this perfect mix of playful, loving puppy and happy, mellow, old soul. Please fill out an application at TheRescuedDog.org and an adoption coordinator will be in touch to schedule a meet and greet, and get more info about their upcoming adoption and fundraising events.

|Sparky and Bambi are 2 bonded Pomeranians that recently lost their human mommy and needed to find a good home. Lionel's Legacy took them in with a promise to keep them together, they are family to one another. They have both been to the vet and had the full work up including bloodwork and urinalysis. Both are in good health and recently had dentals. They don't have many teeth left between the 2 of them but that doesn't get in their way. They are great with other dogs and cats, well behaved at the vet and are house trained and ready to find a home where they can spend the rest of their lives together. To adopt or find out about fostering or volunteering, we encourage everyone to go to LionelsLegacy.org.
Click Bianca's picture to see her video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
Bianca and her one baby were found near the border and brought to Rescue House. Bianca took her job as Mom very seriously and has been a very doting, loving, and protective mother. Yet when baby's asleep…she plays with feathers and fetches her toys! Sometimes, if she feels you aren't noticing her, she'll gently nip your calf and then meow up at you. Bianca is talkative and has a lot to say. She'll meow, chirp, pip or call to you if you're in another room. She loves people, and will even socialize with guests. She prefers to have her feet planted on the ground, and gets squirmy if held for to long, which is why Rescue House volunteer, Kris, is holding her for me today. But she loves to cuddle on the bed, under the covers, or next to you on the couch. She's more focused on people than she is on other cats. She might be good company for a male kitty, but mostly she keeps to herself or hangs with her people. She's had minimal exposure to dogs and seemed uncomfortable around the one she did meet. You can meet Bianca and countless other cats and kittens this weekend at the MEGA Cat And Kitten Adoption Fair at the PETsMART off Aero Drive. It starts at 10 AM both days, and ends at 4 on Saturday and 3 on Sunday. Head to RescueHouse.org for details!
Darn! Oscar didn't make his TV Debut on San Diego 6-CW Animal House today because the stress of the TV Studio proved to be just too much for him! Please check him out on his webpage!
|Oscar, named for the Oscar Meyer Weiner, is a 4 year old Dachshund and I'd love to say he gets to go back to a foster home after his TV appearance, but unfortunately, he goes back to a kennel in a shelter. So let's hope someone falls in love with him today and heads straight over to adopt him. Oscar is a happy and lovable little guy with a great disposition...he's even housebroken. He's playful, affectionate and loves to play fetch with his toys. He loves a good walk and will make an excellent exercise partner, plus he's very treat motivated. Oscar gets along well with other dogs and currently shares his kennel space with another dog buddy. He'd be a wonderful family pet, especially for a family with older, considerate kids. His adoption fee includes his microchip, full vaccinations, and neuter surgery. Please come visit Oscar at the El Cajon Animal Shelter, 1275 N. Marshall Street, two blocks north of Fletcher Parkway. You can take Oscar out into the play yard and get better acquainted. They're open Tuesday thru Saturday 10am to 5pm, and closed Sundays and Mondays.
Click Sid's picture to see his video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
Sid is a 10-year-old Chihuahua mix. They only say he's a mix because they're convinced he's part bunny with his extremely soft fur. Sid likes to burrow under blankets, and will fall asleep just about anywhere you want him to. He's completely house broken and will let you know when he needs to go outside. His compact size makes him perfect for apartment living. He's well-socialized and does great with cats and dogs alike, and older children. He's low energy but does like an occasional romp in the yard. Sid has had a full dental and is up to date on all of his shots. Although Sid is 10, small dogs live much longer than large dogs, so he still has many happy years ahead of him! Lionel's Legacy specializes in rescuing senior dogs....the hardest dogs to save. So if you appreciate the service they provide to our community, please come support them.
Click Gilly and Georgina's picture to see their video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
|These kittens were brought to a vet in need of blood transfusions and other extreme measures to survive. Thanks to around the clock care by a Rescue House foster family, all the kittens in the litter are now bouncy, happy, and healthy! They're the sweetest kittens you'll ever meet. They were bottle fed babies, and therefore are completely bonded to humans. They're loving, playful, well-socialized, and love to pile into your lap. Georgina had the roughest go: her tail turned necrotic from low blood supply and needed a partial amputation. Her brother Gilly, named for the veterinarian who treated the litter, is a big boy for his age, and twice Georgina's size! Both of them scramble after laser lights and dangly toys. They're comfortable with other cats, small dogs, and older children. They've already been through so much, now they need a safe, loving forever home.

Click Chance and Bender's picture to see their video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
Chance and Bender are a bonded pair of middle aged Pitties who grew up in a family with children. Sadly their family moved out of their home right before July 4th and had nowhere for the boys to go other than the shelter. Due to overcrowding at the shelter on the 4th of July weekend, because of the fireworks, these two were scheduled to be euthanized. Lionel's Legacy had to step in and give these loving boys a second chance...so they rescued them from the shelter, and now they're in boarding while the rescue organization looks for either a FOSTER family or a permanent adopter. Chance and Bender are house trained, very easy going, and would be very happy being your cuddle partner... especially if you have kids. They'd do best in a home with a yard or a person willing to take them for walks to get some exercise. They're both up to date on vaccines, microchipped, neutered and ready to make your family complete!
Click Noel's picture to see her video (wearing a cute dress!) on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
Noel is an adorable senior dog available for adoption from Lionel's Legacy Senior Dog Rescue. Your guess is as good as ours when it comes to figuring out what breed she is. All we can guarantee is that she's truly unique, and one of a kind. She enjoys being a lap-dog and will be the perfect companion for someone looking for a mellow, easy-going dog. This sweet dog was left behind in a box outside of a local shelter. Since older dogs have such a tough time at shelters, and rarely get adopted, Lionel's Legacy stepped up and put her into one of their foster homes. Noel currently lives with other dogs, but she'd be just as happy being your only squeeze. Noel is spayed, vaccinated, and she had a dental cleaning, which left her with a tongue that always hangs out. If you're interested in adopting Noel or becoming a foster family for a senior dog in need, please call or go to LionelsLegacy.org.
Click Makana's picture to see her video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House! (and Makana was featured on the Mighty 1090)!
Makana is a beautiful teenager who at 6-months of age, weighs 29-pounds, and could be 45-60 pounds full-grown. This well-socialized Labrador, Shepherd and maybe Border Collie mix is dog, cat, and kid friendly. She's crate trained, very food motivated, and smart, as well. She was rescued early in June from the streets of Baja as a lone pup, desperately searching for food. She's been quarantined, vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. Makana is a great guard dog and will bark whenever a stranger is around the home. She loves to play with other dogs, and would make an excellent companion for another high-energy dog, or an active person who might like a running partner. She's a little shy at first, but warms up quickly. Animal Rescuers Without Borders is not only looking for a forever home for this dog, they're also reaching out for a foster home for her. They're being forced to put dogs and cats into boarding facilities because there is a significant shortage of qualified foster families. PLEASE sign up to foster a dog or cat until a forever home can be found. All food, supplies and medical care is covered by the rescue, so there is no cost to the foster family....all they provide is a safe home, and a loving environment.
Click Moo Moo's picture to see his video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
Meet Moo Moo! He's a super friendly 1-year-old neutered male cat who is available for adoption from the El Cajon Animal Shelter. The shelter participated in the latest "Clear The Shelters" event, but unfortunately, Moo Moo is one of the few pets left behind. He can't get enough attention...he just adores people, and the reason he's at the shelter is because his previous owner became ill...to the point she could no longer take care of him. He's fine with other cats and will most likely be good with kids, as well. Moo Moo is so sweet, and we hope this TV opportunity will encourage someone to come out and meet him at the shelter, which is located at 1275 North Marshall Street in El Cajon...two blocks north of Fletcher Parkway. They're open Tuesday thru Saturday 10am to 5pm, closed Sundays and Mondays. Moo will truly be a perfect addition to any family!
Click Baby's picture to see his video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
Baby is just 11-months-old, and has been waiting for a home since February....almost half her life. She has short, grey and white hair, and an amazing disposition. She's well-socialized, great with all people and other cats, and she'd most likely get used to a dog, given the chance. She's super fun and loves to play with her cat toys and climb on her cat tree. Baby's adoption fee is just $50, even though she's been spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated and tested for feline leukemia. Baby is currently in boarding, so the rescue organization would also love it if a foster family would step up to keep her for a while until she finds her forever home. All supplies, food and medical are paid for while you foster, so you never have to worry about the expense. You'd be helping Baby get out of a kennel, and give her a chance to feel like a normal kitty, and be able to play in a home environment. Meanwhile, Animal Rescuers Without Borders would like you to know that they have so many young kittens available at the PETsMART Clairemont and PETsMART Oceanside locations. Please come by to meet some of the many felines available for adoption. You can also see them at ARWOB.org.
Click Misha's picture to see his video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
Misha is a super sweet and submissive Shepherd puppy who found her way to an elementary school in Baja, where the children fed and played with her. Fortunately, one of the teachers at the school is a rescuer, and that's how Misha wound up being transported to San Diego. Her wounds were already healing by that time, so we'll never know what happened to her that resulted in such serious scaring, but fortunately she doesn't seem to be in any pain. Misha is 30-pounds now, and is expected to reach 50-pounds full grown. This silly puppy is obviously good with children, and she also likes other dogs and cats. She behaves in her crate and rides well in the car. Because Animal Rescuers Without Borders already has so many PUPPIES and young KITTENS for adoption, they'd appreciate someone to step up and be a foster family for Misha, even if they can't find a permanent home. All medical care and supplies are covered by the rescue, and you just supply the home and the love. Their website is ARWOB.org where you can see most of their adoptable animals, and fill out an adoption or foster application. You can also call or text 619-977-3593.
CLICK Olive and Zoey's picture to see their video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House (and CLICK HERE to see them on KUSI GOOD MORNING SAN DIEGO!) They were also featured on the Mighty 1090 Radio Show!
Olive and Zoey are 9-month-old bunny sisters who are very bonded together, and therefore need a home together. They were brought to the shelter when they were just 6 weeks old. They're super sweet and affectionate. Both are active and funny, they love playing with their toys, and racing around their pen. As an added plus, they know how to use a litter box. This weekend the San Diego House Rabbit Society is participating in the National "Clear The Shelters Campaign" making it an excellent time to adopt Olive and Zoey, or any of the other adoptable rabbits.
As featured on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
Chantilly is a 15-year-old female California Desert Tortoise for adoption from the San Diego Turtle And Tortoise Society. She has a sweet disposition, and loves it when people pay attention to her. A potential adopter should know that she requires a minimum 20-by-20 foot outdoor area with some sort of shelter, like a dog house, so she can sleep and get away from the sun. She needs water and shade, and she eats weeds, cactus, dry leafy greens and other plants. Tortoises also hibernate from November through March. Desert Tortoises are federally protected, and legal to own, however it's illegal to take them out of the desert, or return them when you don't want them anymore. And since they can live such a long time, that poses a problem trying to find them homes once they're abandoned.
Click on Rosetta's picture to see her video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
Rosetta, or Rosy for short, was adopted from Animal Rescuers Without Borders when she was only 3-months-old. Recently, however, the family turned her into Animal Control to be euthanized saying that she was dog and leash aggressive. Thankfully, the shelter called ARWOB and gave them the chance to take Rosy back into their program. ARWOB didn't have any empty foster homes, so they put her into an experienced foster home with other dogs and cats, despite what her previous owners said about her. As it turns out, Rosy is NOT aggressive with the other dogs...though she was initially very high strung. All she really needed was some experience with other animals. She now lives with a 10-pound Chihuahua and three other dogs, and she's actually intimidated by the cats. She's housetrained, crate-trained, good when left in the house alone, excellent in the car, and loves to cuddle. She sleeps in her doggie bed at night and is exceptionally well-behaved. She's obedient off-leash and will come when you call her. It's clear she needs a gentle handler who can continue to work with her around other dogs, without being overly harsh, If you want to see her playing with other dogs, go to ARWOB.org and click on her bio, and if you'd like to give her a chance, even if you'd like to just foster her for now, please fill out an application.
Click on Silly's picture to see her video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
This sweet, happy Shepherd/Labrador mix is named Silly. She was adopted when she was just a few months old from Animal Rescuers Without Borders, but sadly the family quickly realized they had no time to train or spend time with an energetic, playful and curious puppy. At 9 months of age, she's still just a puppy, and really needs a family who can spend quality time teaching her how to become a well-behaved dog. She's already well-socialized...she's great with all people, other dogs, and even cats. Silly is 40-pounds now, and may reach 45-50 pounds, full-grown. She's energetic, so a runner or hiker would be an excellent match, and ideally, she'd join a family who already has another dog for her to play with, and a large yard to play in. Even if you're not interested in permanently adopting right now, ARWOB could really use a temporary foster because Silly is losing her current foster home this weekend. Please fill out an application at ARWOB.org or call or text their phone number.

Nature is a 6-year-old retired greyhound residing at the Greyhound Adoption Center. She arrived from a racetrack in May after registering an astonishing 493 races during her career. Nature cannot live in a home with cats but would be happy living with a canine companion over 20 pounds. Even at the age of six, Nature is happy, exuberant, and playful and will make a wonderful companion for an active family with children of all ages. Like all the dogs from the Center she's had a complete medical evaluation, she's altered, vaccinated, microchipped, and had a thorough dental cleaning. All the dogs are fully evaluated for temperament and personality, and tested with cats, small dogs, and young children before being profiled for a home. Meet Nature and 45 other adoptable dogs at the Greyhound Adoption Center 's Open House, and tour of their facility this Sunday from 1-to-3 pm. They're at 4821 Dehesa Road in El Cajon.

Click on Whiskey's picture to see his video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
Meet Whiskey, a handsome 2-year-old, short-haired cat for adoption from the El Cajon Animal Shelter. He's an easy-going boy who truly enjoys human companionship. He got his name, Whiskey, because he has amber colored eyes that look like the color of whiskey. He was turned into the shelter because his previous owner travels a lot, and felt he was unable to give Whiskey the time and attention that such an affectionate indoor house cat requires. Please consider coming to meet Whiskey in the cat room at the shelter, located on North Marshall Street in El Cajon. We're certain you'll fall in love with him once you see how playful he is. He'll knock his toys out of his kennel just to get him to pass them back. Of course, Whiskey and all the cats available for adoption at the shelter are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Whiskey also has the wonderful quality of being completely litter-box-trained. Please tell your friends and family about Whiskey, and help us get him out of a kennel and into a loving forever home.
Click on Annie's picture to see her video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
Annie was rescued from the streets of Baja 3 months ago with her five siblings. Sadly, they all had parvo, and only three puppies survived. Annie is one of the survivors, and she's now healthy and ready for adoption. Her siblings were adopted this past weekend, so only Annie is left. While Annie is just 15-pounds now, she has the potential to reach 50 when she's full grown. She'll need an adopter with time and patience to handle house-training and teaching her basic commands. Her foster family says she's very smart and extremely food oriented, so that may make training a lot easier. She's already crate-trained and will sleep comfortably through the night for 7-hours. Annie needs mental and physical stimulation, and her ideal family would have another dog for her to play with. Annie is great with well-behaved children, dogs and cats. There's a $350 adoption fee, but every penny of that money will be used to offset her medical expenses, or the expenses of the next dog they save. Plus, she's spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. Even if you're not ready to adopt, Annie could really use an immediate foster family as she's losing her current foster home TODAY. You can submit a foster or adoption application online at ARWOB.org.

Domino is a handsome little champagne-blond chihuahua for adoption from Animal Rescuers Without Borders. He's 10-pounds, at 1.5 years of age. He's a perfect gentleman, 100% housebroken and very crate-trained. He's excellent with both cats and dogs and also loves to play with children. He will play, play, play, but when it's time to settle down, he'll crash with you in front of the TV like a couch-potato. He'll be an excellent family dog and a good candidate for playing at the dog park, plus he enjoys riding in cars and never gets car-sick. He's been available for adoption for 7-months, and yet nobody has filled out an application, even after they reduced his adoption fee to $50. Of course, he's had a vet checkup, he's up to date on vaccinations and microchipped. If you'd like to meet Domino, fill out an application at ARWOB.org, and they'll set up a meet and greet with you near his Mission Valley foster home, if that's convenient for you.

This is fabulous, sweet Norma! She is an easy-going, quiet dog who gets excited for her walks. She is a 3-year-old, 45-pound Labrador/Basset Hound mix who gets along with all other dogs she meets, and she loves napping almost as much as she loves her walks. She is great on the leash, potty-trained, and all around wonderful. She would do fine in a household with other dogs, and would do equally well as an only dog. To sum up, she is a perfect family dog! Norma is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. Her adoption fee is $250 which will be used to help rescue another dog. Go to www.secondchancedogrescue.org and the foster mom will contact you to set up a meet and greet. Of course, none of this would be possible without the fosters who house all of the dogs. If anyone is interested in fostering a dog, they can go online and fill out a foster application.

Scout has been bounced around a bit lately. He came to The Rescue House after his guardian divorced and moved away without him. Sadly, she had taken him in from a moving military family just five months earlier. Scout is a lovely, cuddly boy with a sweet temperament, who quickly charmed all the Rescue House volunteers. He's just so happy to be in their company, and receive attention and love...for that's clearly the main focus of Scout's life: love and companionship. This social man brings joy wherever he goes. He'll lie in your lap while you pet him He'll be at the door to greet you when you come home, sleep with you at night, come when called, or when the treat bag is rustled, and he's always in a good mood. We don't know Scout's thoughts about other cats or dogs, but he's amazing with kids of all ages, including toddlers. Scout is a fabulous kitty looking for an equally fabulous home.
Click on Dot's picture to see her video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
Dot represents an entire litter of adoptable kittens who look very similar. The black-and-white siblings, along with their black-and-white mom, were rescued from an overcrowded local shelter when they were very tiny. Thankfully there was a Rescue House foster family willing to help watch over the mom and her babies until they were healthy enough to be adopted. The mischievous collective of loving, playful, curious kittens love toys and playing games. They think humans and other cats are awesome! Dot and her sister Susie are a little more independent, yet still demanding of attention and affection. They love the older cats in their foster home and would be happiest with a feline companion and playmate because they've never been alone, With a proper introduction, all the kittens would probably be good with cat-friendly dogs.

Bo is a very sweet boy who loves to cuddle with you. He is an American Staffordshire Terrier mix a bit on the smaller side (only 45-50 lbs). Good with other dogs and GREAT on the leash! He would make a good running partner too or buddy to join you at the local coffee shop. Bo loves hanging out in his kiddie pool and playing with his doggie siblings. If you are looking for an all around happy pup who loves everything look no further.

Chester is a 68-pound Champagne-colored Pittie/Bulldog mix with gorgeous golden eyes. He's a volunteer and staff favorite at the Department of Animal Control's south shelter, located in Bonita. He can't help but look like a tough guy, but he's a big softie in disguise. He loves to go for walks and hikes, and he's very comfortable in a crowd at adoption events. Chester has a warm personality, and solicits attention by nuzzling his face into your hand, but he's always quiet and respectful. He's still playful, but no longer a pup, so he won't knock you over with uncontrollable excitement. He's gotten along FABULOUSLY with the dogs he's met at the shelter and adoption events. Plus he's a good little traveler in the car. His adoption fee of $69 includes vaccinations, license, and microchip, and all dogs are temperament tested before adoption to ensure a good match. The south shelter is located on Sweetwater Road in Bonita, and they don't see as much foot traffic as a lot of the other shelters, so please make them one of your first stops when searching for your new best friend!

He just wants to be near people and will lean against you for a head scratch. He's respectful of space and won't knock you over. Out of his kennel he's a happy goofball. He's done well with other dogs at the shelter and adoption events, making him an ideal Pit Bull Ambassador, He's also good in the car! Milo has been available for adoption at the Department of Animal Control's south shelter, in Bonita, for MONTHS! But there are just so many wonderful dogs there, that he has a lot of competition.

Sweet and silly Stitch came to The Rescued Dog from the Humane Society of Imperial County. This little spit-fire has a great time romping around with her larger canine foster siblings. She's spunky and fun and gets along with everyone she meets: human, canine, and even feline! Stitch currently lives with a 1-year-old child and she's great with him. Stitch is a perfect size at just under 20-pounds, and a year old...we don't think she'll get much bigger. Stitch is confident and smart, and will be a really fun dog to train and grow with. She's also affectionate and sweet, and up for any adventure. She'll be a great addition to a family looking for a fun and active canine companion. Once the action is over, get ready for love and snuggles. Stitch is crate trained and almost fully house trained. She's really a gem!

Domino is a handsome little champagne-blond chihuahua for adoption from Animal Rescuers Without Borders. He's 10-pounds, at 1.5 years of age. He's a perfect gentleman, 100% housebroken and very crate-trained. He's excellent with both cats and dogs and also loves to play with children. He will play, play, play, but when it's time to settle down, he'll crash with you in front of the TV like a couch-potato. He'll be an excellent family dog and a good candidate for playing at the dog park, plus he enjoys riding in cars and never gets car-sick. He's been available for adoption for 7-months, and yet nobody has filled out an application, even after they reduced his adoption fee to $50. Of course, he's had a vet checkup, he's up to date on vaccinations and microchipped. If you'd like to meet Domino, fill out an application at ARWOB.org, and they'll set up a meet and greet with you near his Mission Valley foster home, if that's convenient for you.

Nina is a beautiful gal who at only 2 years old, had been over-bred and ended up at a high-kill shelter with 2 of her puppies. Another rescue stepped up for the 2 puppies and ITS took in mama. She was in pretty rough shape and required several surgeries before being available for adoption. Now that she's ready, we can't wait for this special lady to find her Forever Family! Nina is such a sweet girl and happy to hang out with you at home or in the backyard. She walks well on the leash and enjoys going out on walks. She loves people, and enjoys running in the yard. Nina is super sweet and absolutely loves kids. Two things she loves the most are her crate and playing fetch in the yard! Nina has had a rough start to life and we would love for her to be adopted into a family who will promise to love her unconditionally. Nina promises to love you forever!

Click on "Ron and Tom's picture" to see their video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
These kittens were found alone at an office in North Park when they were only 3 weeks old, and too young to eat on their own. Some kind people tried to care for them initially, but didn't realize the intense care they needed at that age. They were moved into the Rescue House foster program with an experienced bottle-feeder, and soon began to thrive! Named after Harry Potter characters, these adorable, super sweet kittens purr as soon as you pick them up. They love to play and wrestle with all kinds of toys. Tom Meowdle loves toy mice and will growl if anyone gets too close when he's holding his mouse. After playing hard, he likes to snuggle up on a blanket with his brother, Ron Fleasley. They've never spent a day alone, and ideally they'd be adopted together or into a home with another friendly cat. They may even be okay with dogs and they're comfortable with children who know how to hold them properly. If you'd like to meet these charmers, and let them cast a spell on you, go to RescueHouse.org to fill out an application, or to find out about their many adoption centers around the county.
Click Bock's picture to see his video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
Bock is a 2-year-old ex-racing greyhound for adoption at the Greyhound Adoption Center. He was rescued from the Caliente racetrack with an injured foot, and during a routine vet checkup, they discovered Bock is nearly blind. Somehow this amazing dog managed to race all that time without his condition being detected. He's acclimated so well to his diminishing eyesight that he even fooled the shelter staff and volunteers. Normally, Greyhounds are sighthounds, and renowned for having exceptional eyesight. There's no treatment for his condition, but it's not painful. We hope to find him a loving forever home while he still has some sight, so he can adjust to his surroundings before it's completely gone. Brok is an ambassador for all the special-needs, visually-impaired dogs in shelters everywhere. Meet Bock and 50 other greyhounds this Sunday at the Greyhound Adoption Center's Open House. Tour their facility from 1-to-3 PM, on Dehesa Road in El Cajon and visit with volunteers to learn more about greyhound rescue, rehab, adoption, and volunteer opportunities.

Click on Fawn's picture to see her video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
Fawn is an exceptional puppy with a wonderful personality. She originally wound up at the Humane Society of Imperial County as a stray. She already knew some basic commands, and was well on her way to being a great addition to a forever family. At 4 months of age, Fawn was adopted by a family who returned her 5 months later when they deployed. We're sad she lost her family, but thankfully there was a foster home available, and she was able to join The Rescued Dog's foster program, instead of going back to a shelter. Initially shy, Fawn warms up quickly to show you her sweet and spunky side. She's very playful with her foster family, including 2 dogs and a cat, and her previous family had children. We'd like her to be adopted by a family with other pets to keep her company. Fawn is very smart and knows most of her basic commands, and would excel if you continued her training classes. She's 9-months-old, 25-pounds, fun, loving, affectionate and energetic! If you'd like to meet this precious Dachshund/Shepherd puppy, fill out an app at TheRescuedDog.org, where you can also learn about becoming a foster family for another dog in need.

Jules is a 1.5 year old neutered bunny boy who is an interesting mix of a curly Rex and Angora, with beautiful black markings. He's very shy but will cuddle with you if you pet him just right.

Click on Bert's picture to see his video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
Bert is a 1-year-old, 13-pound Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix who has been available for adoption for 5-months. When Bert's brother Ernie was adopted and taken away from him, it was like taking away his security blanket . Bert was distraught and became fearful and reactive. However, after some training sessions with a wonderful private trainer, and the help of Animal Rescuers Without Borders volunteers, Bert has finally learned to trust again, and now he loves to play with others. His foster family has another small dog and a couple of cats, and they say he's also good with children. He's taken some obedience training, knows some basic commands and walks well on a leash. Bert would do well with an experienced dog owner who has good observational skills, and can use positive reinforcement to correct him if he acts ornery. All ARWOB pets are vaccinated, spayed or neutered, microchipped and vet checked before adoption. They're also one of the few rescues who will allow you to "foster-to-adopt", just to make sure it's a good match before all the paperwork is signed. Plus, they're featuring a special summer adoption fee of just $50 for any Chihuahua or Chihuahua mixes. Whether you're interested in a temporary foster pet or a permanent adoption, call or go to ARWOB.org where you can learn more about this great organization.

Rex is a 2-year-old American Bulldog/Pittie mix for adoption from It's The Pits Rescue. When they initially rescued Rex, he had to have entropion eye surgery to correct a horrible, painful condition in both eyes. The vet then discovered that he had a mid-grade heart murmur, so Rex underwent a successful heart surgery. He also has a mild form of epilepsy which is treated with medication. It's well-controlled, but there is a possibility of seizures. He's a super mellow guy who loves everything: cats, dogs, kids. They even use him to calm the other nervous dogs at their adoption events. He currently lives with other Pit Bulls, and a kitty, all of whom he loves to sleep and cuddle with. He'd do best in a home WITH other pets. He's not a super active guy...he'd rather have a picnic with you on the beach, than go on a hike or run. Vigorous activity just isn't his thing...he's a complete couch potato who loves long naps. Rex is a great ambassador for the Breed, and would enjoy accompanying you everywhere you go. Please fill out an application at ItsThePits.org.

Beautiful Belle gets along with everyone and everything, including other dogs, cats, and children. This month, she turns 1-year-old and is pretty much full grown at 45 pounds. She's a Schnauzer/Pittie mix, and The Rescued Dog says she's working with her foster family on becoming a well-behaved, housebroken, indoor dog. She walks very well on a leash and is fully crate trained. Belle's short coat will make it easy to keep her groomed. This sweet beauty already knows many basic commands. Belle is a smart, lively girl and would be a great addition to a household that can keep her exercised, and give her lots of love and attention. To meet Belle, please fill out an application at TheRescuedDog.org and an adoption coordinator will be in contact.

|This is Brady's second time being featured on CW6 News. He's a practically perfect dog in every way, so I'm just not sure why there isn't a waiting list to adopt him. Of course, last time we featured him, he was pretty nervous and probably didn't show very well. But Brady IS a super sweet family dog who loves affection and gets along great with other dogs and even cats! He's a mix of Great Pyrenees, Anatolian Shepherd and Labrador Retriever...three very popular breeds. He's just 2-year-old, with a playful personality and he'd make an excellent companion for someone who enjoys running or hiking. His foster family says he does well on a leash, is mindful, well-behaved, and enjoys accompanying them for lunch. He's completely housebroken, with good manners indoors, and he stays off of the furniture. Please fill out an adoption application at GreatPyrRescue.org, where you can also find out about becoming a temporary foster family for a gentle giant if you're just not quite ready for a long term commitment. If you're in the military and have deployment or relocation concerns, temporary fostering may be the perfect solution for your family, and a great way to save a life.

|Meet Joshua...an active pup who is house trained and working on his house manners. At 1 year of age, Joshua is ready start obedience training to learn more tricks and commands. He may be too much dog for small children as he's a pretty happy boy who could knock them over when he runs around. Sweet Joshua is very social and playful with other dogs, he's very athletic and loves to wrestle and play with the resident dog in his foster home. He sleeps nicely all night long on his dog bed, but his foster family crates him when he's home alone because he may chew on shoes if you leave them out. He IS getting better at playing with his toys and leaving other things alone. He's young, smart, and a quick learner. Joshua loves to go on daily walks, taking trips to Fiesta Island, and the parks and beaches. If you're looking for a running partner, this boy would love to join you! Joshua can jump a 4-5 ft fence so he really needs a yard with fencing that's at least 6-feet or taller.

|Pepper and Bingo may be seniors but these two are definitely rock-stars at heart! They have 80's rock-band hair, and they're ready to steal your heart! These once beloved pets found themselves behind shelter bars, not due to excessive partying or trashing hotel rooms, but unfortunately, because their owner passed away and didn't have a plan for them. Pepper and Bingo are believed to be 11-to-13 years young. Pepper may be a bit younger than Bingo, who has cataracts, and is visually impaired, but gets around just fine. Both have been checked out thoroughly by a vet, and have had recent dental cleanings. Pepper and Bingo are good with cats, dogs, kids, they're housebroken and crate trained. If you have a soft spot for crazy-haired mini poodles, this bonded pair may be perfect for you! They're up to date on vaccines, microchipped and come with an annual $250 vetting stipend for anyone willing to open their home to two awesome little rockers! Plus, senior citizens receive $50 off the adoption fee. Fill out an application at LionelsLegacy.org and someone will get back to you soon.
Click on Hitch's picture to see his video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
|Hitch's story is quite sad. He was found living in squalor after being abandoned in an apartment after a family moved out. He was left to scrounge through trash for ketchup packages to eat. He was literally starving, and that has created a fear in him of being without food. Because of this, he can be a little protective of food and treats. While he plays with other dogs, and currently lives with another dog, he's still learning that he won't be allowed to starve again. Pit Bull Rescue San Diego thinks he might be better as an only pet or with someone experienced in resource guarding. Hitch loves to snuggle with his human and canine friends. Hitch sleeps on his back with his cheeks & gums flopping open. He also makes his foster family laugh by burying himself in the blankets. He's housebroken, crate trained, and learning basic commands. His foster family wants him to find someone who will let him snuggle up on the couch, and take him on daily walks. Read more about Hitch, and submit an adoption application, at pbrsd.org. Check the events page for upcoming adoption events when you can come out to meet him.

|Meet Chewbacca, a handsome, friendly boy in urgent need of a new foster home, as his foster dad deploys in June!!! We like to call him Chewie and believe it or not, he's even cuter in the fur :) He's a happy pup of 2-years and the perfect size at 50-pounds. We're not sure what he's made of, other than tons of fun and laughter. He has the looks of a pit bull blend with some shepherd or retriever mixed in, and he LOVES water! Turn on the hose and instead of running, Chewie figures that's the signal to play! Our golden kid with the widow's peak is a sweet and gentle boy. He gets so excited to see his people that his tail wags wildly for at least two minutes (even if they're just walking in from another room). Chewie's super playful and enjoys the company of a well matched dog friend. He's not a fan of cats but sure hopes to have a playful dog pal who likes to cuddle too. He's learned to be a great house companion and he's super treat motivated. It's funny how his hearing improves when there's food involved! He's crate trained, house broken, and good at entertaining himself with toys when it's time to chill out. Chewie hopes his people will like to play fetch 'cuz he's great at retrieving the ball....over and over and over. He's sure to keep you in stitches with his goofy antics and puppy fun :)
Like most dogs, Chewie loves walks and needs daily exercise to thrive and grow. A semi-active family willing to provide leadership and structure will help this darling boy mature into one fine adult. If you're a fun loving family who enjoys doing things with your furkids too, then get in touch and meet Chewiepooh. He'll snag your heart and hopefully a forever place with you! And if you're not ready for a lifelong commitment, please ask us about fostering Chewbacca!!

|Little Milo is a handsome mini lop boy, just over 6 months old. This sweet boy was found wandering a San Diego neighborhood and taken in by a nice family who understood that bunnies should not be outside like that. They cared for him while looking for his owners, but no one ever stepped forward to claim him. The family could not keep him long term so relinquished him. Milo is a sweet guy; alternately mellow and sleepy, then active and playful. He loves attention and getting pets, but does not like being held. Milo has been neutered and is now really good with his litter box. He loves toys, playing on cardboard boxes, and enjoying his yummy evening salads. He's liking the "house rabbit" lifestyle! Milo is best suited to an adult home or one with children over 8 years old.
He is fine with cats but may be uncomfortable around dogs To adopt, visit SanDiegoRabbits.org/adoption and complete the online Adopter Profile. If you are new to house rabbits you may be asked to attend our Bunny 101 class prior to adopting a bunny.
Click on Bowie's picture to see his video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
|Bowie is an ex-racing greyhound residing at the Greyhound Adoption Center, and he's already retired at just 1.5 years of age. He arrived in January with a horrific injury to his right rear foot - the bones were literally snapped in two. After surgery and a very lengthy and tedious recovery, he's finally medically cleared for adoption. All greyhounds at the Center are fully evaluated for temperament and personality before they are profiled for a home, and while Bowie has not yet been cat tested, he interacts well with large and small dogs and would enjoy a home with older children who would be mindful of his injury. Thanks to donations, the Greyhound Adoption Center is able to help dozens of greyhounds with broken legs. Ten of their fifty residents are currently recovering from racing injuries. Most go on to enjoy full lives as family pets, as soon as they're spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and get their teeth cleaned. Come out to one of their monthly Open Houses and tour their facility to learn more about rescue, rehab, adoption and volunteer opportunities. Find out more at HoundSavers.org or call 877-HoundSavers.

|Keegan loves people and other dogs. He is wonderful and so very friendly. And did I say handsome?? Keegan is also completely potty trained, and perfect in his crate. He LOVES other dogs, he currently lives with two Pit Bulls and regularly attends daycare at Camp Run-a-Mutt. He loves to cuddle with his foster Mommy and foster doggy siblings. He's very well socialized and loves walks on the beach and having dinner at restaurants. Lucky for Keegan an It's The Pits volunteer spotted him at a shelter just hours before he was scheduled to be euthanized. Unfortunately, Keegan is one of thousands of adoptable Pitties in Southern California, so he has a LOT of competition. Plus, because we don't want these poor dogs to fall into the wrong hands, ITP has to be extra careful about potential adopters. So, even though Keegan is perfect in every way, it's a real challenge finding him a loving family of his own.
Click on Pirate's picture to see his video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House (and Pirate was also featured on the Mighty 1090 and KUSI GOOD MORNING SAN DIEGO)!
|Pirate is a shy, friendly boy who came to CGSRSD in January 2016. He's a bit on the thin side, but we are working on that. Once he's comfortable in his setting, he's tends to develop a better appetite and beefs up a bit. Pirate is in training knows his basic commands. Pirate loves being petted and is OK with being brushed. You can tell that he wasn't allowed on the furniture in his past life, because he will not go on furniture unless invited. He is a submissive and respectful dog, and gets along with his foster siblings (currently a female GSD and a Yorkie). Pirate barks at cats when on a walk, so we don't know if he'd like them in "his" home. We don't know if he's ever been around kids. For a "more mature" dog, Pirate has a lot of energy. Pirate loves to play, but plays gently. He walks nicely on a leash; in fact, he LOVES to go for a walk. Pirate is crate-trained, but also sleeps well and hangs out with his foster siblings outside of the crate. He can sometimes be a bit of a "Nervous Nelly," and would probably do best with at least one other confident medium-sized or large dog who likes to play. Come meet Pirate and other Shepherds every Saturday from 11 to 2 at the Del Mar PETCO on Via De La Valle (except the last Saturday of the month).

Wanda is a 6-year-old Pit Bull Terrier who just craves love and human companionship. She has a beautiful temperament, with the perfect combination of gentleness and playfulness. She takes treats very gently and respectfully, she's working on getting some basic training under her belt, and she's already house-trained to be an indoor dog. The volunteers say she walks nicely on the leash. I understand she's one of the favorites at the shelter, so she gets individual attention from staff and volunteers who give her lots of hugs and scratches behind the ears. Wanda would do best in a home where she can be an only dog, and they also recommend that any kids be a little older, because she is quite a large dog. Wanda is located at the El Cajon Animal Shelter, 1275 N. Marshall Street and they're open Tuesday through Saturday. They have a play yard, so you can take the dogs out of the kennels, and really get to know them before you make a decision. If Wanda is the girl for you, her ID# is 21474, and of course, she's already spayed, microchipped, temperament tested and given a clean bill of health.

|Chiquis is a beautiful two year old Shepherd mix. This gorgeous girl was turned in to a high-kill shelter by a family when they moved and decided not to take her with them. Their loss is your gain! Chiquis is great with kids and other dogs, but cats should not be a part of her forever home as she has too much fun chasing them. Chiquis would love to find a family where she can enjoy being cherished and involved in family activities...even if it's just watching TV on the couch. She'd loves walking and hiking, and just needs a comfy dog bed to sleep on at night. At 2 years of age, Chiquis is a quick study and eager to continue her training with you. If you are interested in adopting Chiquis, please submit an online adoption application at www.labsandmore.org.

|Meet Lentini, a darling little tripod, especially deserving of a loving family! He's a 6-year-old, 18-pound Jack Russell Terrier. Lentini was found as a very dirty, hungry, thirsty stray in the Bonita area. He was born with a congenital deformity in his left front leg, so he was overlooked by potential adopters for an entire month in the shelter. Dogs Fur Days decided he deserved to be in foster home while he awaits a forever family! His "wing" leg is not painful, and he uses it for balance and leverage. He gets around just fine, and can jump up on the couch, climb stairs, and take walks. He enjoys dog beach, the dog park, car rides, sidewalk cafes, and just hanging out with his people. While Len is not particularly fond of large dogs, he's GREAT with other small dogs, and would also do fine living as a solo dog, as long as he has at least one family member who is home a lot. His $200 adoption fee includes a full dental cleaning, his dog license, vaccinations, microchip, collar, harness, leash, and vet check. And rest assured, that money will be spent on rescuing the next dog, so it's a well-spent donation. If you'd like to meet Lentini, please fill out an adoption application at DogsFurDays.org!

|Karl is a handsome 1 year old black Lab mixed with something else, possibly German Short-Haired Pointer. He is available for adoption from California Labradors, Retrievers, and More Rescue in San Diego. Karl's coat is very shiny and he is just a doll! He is great on a leash, loves older or bigger kids (he's too big and clumsy for toddlers), is great with other dogs, and is house trained. Karl prefers to be around his people, so he'd love a family who is home more than they are not. Karl would love to go walking or hiking with you, and can't wait to attend training classes with his new family!

|Max arrived from a racetrack in February with eight other Greyhounds. Max can't live with a cat, but he is dog friendly. He's an all-around good guy...happy, playful and will make a wonderful companion for an active family with children of all ages. Before putting the dogs up for adoption, the Center does a complete medical and temperament evaluation, they alter, vaccinate, microchip and clean the teeth of all their greyhounds. They're also tested with cats, small dogs and young children. Please come out and meet Max and 45 other adoptable dogs this Sunday at the Greyhound Adoption Center's Open House.

|Dahlia is an active, playful, spayed 3-year-old Pit Bull Terrier. She's full-grown at 75-pounds. She was originally brought in to the shelter as a stray in January. Dahlia is the type of dog who'd love to spend time playing fetch or joining you on a long walk before settling down at home for the night. Because of her size and playful energy level, she'd do best in a home with kids who are at least 10 years of age. Dahlia gets along with most dogs, but she's not recommend for a home with cats. She's treat motivated and loves a good back scratch.
Click on Masie's picture to see her video on KUSI GOOD MORNING SAN DIEGO!
|Masie is approximately 8-years-old and has a cataract in her left eye (as you can see in the pics), but she doesn't let it slow her down at all. She is definitely a good "plug-and-play" pooch - when you're ready to go for a walk or go to the dog park - she's ready to go. Or if you just want to stay at home and snuggle - she's always ready for that, too. She's very smart and picks up on things quickly. Her foster family has had her since Valentine's day and she has had no problem learning pretty advanced manners like "go to your crate", sitting while her dinner is being prepared, and waiting to be "released". She sits patiently while they put the leash on her, etc. Overall, she's the ideal dog for nearly any family. A very special girl who has captured the hearts of all her foster family members.

|Niko is a sweet, loving, gorgeous German Shepherd with lots of happy energy, and ready for adventure! He'd do well with a family who can give him plenty of playtime and exercise. Niko enjoys the love and attention he receives in his foster home and enjoys hanging out with people. While he gets along well with the resident dog, he doesn't seem to care much about other dogs. He plays a bit too rough to be a frequent visitor to dog parks. Niko knows his basic commands and he's pretty good on the leash. He enjoys going for runs and hiking. He'll sleep in his crate at night, behaves when left at home alone, knows how to use a doggy door, and he's treat motivated which helps with training. If you're interested in adopting Niko, please fill out an application at www.labsandmore.org/.
Click on Ari's photo to see her video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House (note: Ari is now at Passion for Pitties)!
Name: Ari
Ari is an active, playful, 2-year-old spayed female Pit Bull Terrier mix. She weighs 58-pounds and was originally found as a stray before she was brought to the Chula Vista shelter in December of last year. She'd thoroughly enjoy the activity of long walks, and she'd make an excellent running partner. She'll also settle down with a nice chew toy after a nap, when at home. Ari would do best in a family with bigger kids, 12+, just because she can play pretty hard. She gets along with most dogs, but she's not recommended for a home with cats. She's treat motivated and knows sit.
Click on Baxter's picture to see his video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House (and Baxter was also featured on the Mighty 1090)!
|Baxter is an adorable 4-pound Holland Lop, given up because he was spraying, marking his territory and not respecting the litter box rules. The simple fix for that was to neuter him, which the San Diego Companion Rabbit Society did right away. Now, he's a super friendly, active bunny who love his toys, flipping over cardboard boxes, eating his salad and then running in circles around his pen. Baxter would be best with adults, or a family with older children, because he's not a fan of being picked up, and he's a bit too squirmy to hold. Contrary to popular belief, bunnies make awful Easter presents for small children. They're intelligent animals that need a lot of social interaction, and since they live 10-to-14 years, they'll obviously outlive a child's interest. Also, they're considered "exotic animals", so vet care is much more expensive than a dog or cat. If you're thinking about adopting a rabbit as a long-term pet, sign the family up for Bunny 101 classes at the shelter in Kearny Mesa. You may even want to volunteer as a family, or foster a rabbit temporarily. Go toSanDiegoRabbits.org for more information!
Click on Stiltz's photo to see her video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House
Name: Stiltz
|Stiltz is a Patriotic Pet from the Camp Pendleton Animal Shelter. She's an adorable 3-year-old Chihuahua with little ballerina legs. She's spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and even housebroken. Stiltz gets along well with the other friendly dogs in her play group at the animal shelter, and she adores getting attention and affection. Due to recent changes in Camp Pendleton's base access procedures, there's been a SIGNIFICANT drop in the number of people coming to adopt cats and dogs. The public CAN still adopt from the base shelter...it's just a bit more complicated to get a base pass. To all retired military, or active duty military who have ID cards and can easily go out to the shelter: if you've been thinking about adopting, please come to Building 25132 to see if there's a dog or cat for your family. Retired and active military are crucial to these shelter animals. Google "Camp Pendleton Animal Shelter" and you'll get a link to their list of animals, and directions to the shelter which is open Thursday through Sunday from 10-to-5 and Monday through Wednesday from 10-to-3.
Click on Pirate Joey's picture to see his video on KUSI Good Morning San Diego!
Pirate Joey is a super gentle and sweet boy who just loves attention. He came from a hoarding case where he led a rough life. Now he's a happy guy because he no longer has to worry about his next meal, about being warm and dry, or getting enough attention.
He loves to hang out under his cardboard box and lounge on his fleece bed. You can just tell he knows that he's safe now.
Our volunteers love this gentle boy and named him for the black "eye patch" on his left eye. It's so cute!
Pirate Joey is about 6 years old and would probably make a great companion to a sweet bunny girl. He lived with many rabbits and at some time probably had a friend but was single when he came to us.
Can you give this lovely older boy a home? Stop by to meet him and just see if he melts your heart the way he has ours...

Name: Conrad
Conrad is an active, playful, 3-year-old Pittie mix, weighing just 57-pounds. He was found as a stray, and brought to the Chula Vista Animal Shelter where he is now available for adoption. He'd enjoy living with someone who likes to take long walks, or somebody who needs a good, reliable running partner. Conrad can also keep busy playing with his toys. He'd do best in a home with children who are at least 12 years of age, because he's pretty rowdy when he's playing. He gets along great with the dogs he's met, but he needs a home without cats. He's treat motivated and knows how to sit. The Chula Vista Animal Care Facility is celebrating "St. Pitty's Lucky Charms" during the month of March for all Pit Bull Terrier adoptions, so Conrad's adoption fee is $25 and includes neuter, microchip, deworming and vaccinations. For more info call the adoption counselor at (619)691-5174 or email email@example.com. Check out some of the many pets for adoption at ChulaVistaCA.gov and click on departments, and then Animal Care.

Click on Taz's picture to see his video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
Taz is a Min-Pin/Chihuahua mix and such a sweetheart! He's a lovable lap dog when it's cuddle time, and a huge outdoors-man when its time to play! He loves to play Tug-o-war and he almost always wins! He loves to run and play with other dogs, he's very fast and surprisingly strong for such a little dude. Taz is in a foster home, so they also know he's completely house-trained, and he's good with cats, which is so nice to know when you're bringing a new dog into your family if you have felines you don't want to upset. He hardly sheds, has a great appetite, and is very treat motivated! Taz is already neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and ready to go to a good home. He just needs a family who can play with him, and take him for walks, to the beach, or to the off-leash dog park where he can socialize with other pups. Of course, we also want a family who will just love and spoil him! If you're interested in adopting Taz, volunteering or becoming a foster family for a dog in need, please call or fill out an application at www.senarescue.org.
Click on Buddy's picture to see his video on KUSI Good Morning San Diego!
|Is there a more appropriate name for a Beagle than Buddy? Well this sweet older gent lives up to his name. Buddy is a senior at 10 years old but he still has some pep in his step. He loves to go for walks and use that Beagle nose of his to let you know everything that's going on around town. Buddy like all Beagles likes to talk and have serious conversations about what he had for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Buddy is great with other dogs, cats and all people. He is an extremely loyal companion, whatever is important to you is top on his list too. Buddy does have those floppy Beagle ears that will need to be maintained. He is fully vaccinated, microchipped and has had a dental. We're looking for a foster or adopter ready to open their home to this sweet boy and there is nothing better in life than having a good Buddy around!
Click on Eleanor's picture to see her video on San Diego 6-CW animal house!
|Eleanor is a 6.8-pound heat-seeking missile. She loves nothing more than diving head first into her pile of warm blankets. She enjoys cuddling and loves to be close to her people. She gets along great with other dogs, cats and children. She enjoys long walks and car rides, when she can look out the passenger side window and check out the world. Eleanor would love to have another dog in the home to play with. When excited, she hops on her hind legs and chirps like a birdie. She's VERY aware of the fact that she looks cute in her outfits, and prances around like a beauty queen waiting for compliments. She'd do best with direct access to the yard, but she is housebroken and will let you know when she needs to go outside. Eleanor is approximately 9-10 years old, microchipped, vaccinated, has had bloodwork and a dental cleaning. Contact Lionel's Legacy Senior Dog Rescue for more info about adopting or fostering a dog.
Click on Rudy's picture to see his video on San Diego 6-CW Animal House!
Rudy is a 3-year-old, 50-pound sweetheart, listed at the shelter as a Terrier-Basset Hound mix...probably because of his adorable stumpy legs, and the coloring of a Staffordshire Terrier. Rudy is a pretty solid boy and an all-around great guy. He listens well, is good in the car, likes everyone he's ever met, and has a good medium energy level. He's not reactive to dogs on walks or through fences...in fact, he rarely even barks! Rudy loves playing with toys and will entertain himself. He's equally happy going for a long jog, or snuggling in front of the TV. We could really go on and on about how great he is because he's in a foster home, and the fosters really get to know the dogs while they're in their homes. If you'd like to meet Rudy, please fill out a short application at DOGSFURDAYS.org! His $200 adoption fee includes up-to-date vaccinations, a County dog-license, microchip, neutering, plus a collar, and leash. You just can't go wrong with this boy...please help Dogs Fur Days find him a great forever family of his own!

He's about 8-to-10 months old, super active, friendly and easy going. He was recently neutered and is learning to use his litter box. He loves to jump up and down from his cardboard box and run circles in his X-pen. When out for play-time, he's very active and runs laps around the room.

Milo is a 6-year-old, 11-pound, neutered male Chihuahua mix, rescued from a local county shelter and put into a Friends of SNAP foster home. Milo is neutered, fully vaccinated, crate-trained, housebroken and knows how to use a doggie door. He loves car rides, and trips to Fiesta Island. Milo loves people, men and women alike, and though he enjoys the company of other dogs in his foster home, he's not really big on playing with them. He's more into playing with soft toys. He's very sweet, quiet and not hyper at all.

Timmy may be pint sized but he has a HUGE personality. He's very sweet, agile, and extremely smart. Timmy gets along well with other dogs, he's crate trained, housebroken and even knows how to use a doggy door. Timmy is in a foster home, and he's proven himself to be a great indoor house dog!

Click on Rose's picture to see her video on San Diego 6-CW animal house!
|Rose is a shiny black, 3-year-old Spaniel/Dachshund mix who was so skinny when she first came into the Wagging Dog Rescue's foster program. But with her healthy appetite, she's put on weight, and is looking beautiful and healthy with her soft, shiny coat. Rose is a very affectionate girl who loves to be touched and will follow her person around. She has excellent indoor manners, walks well on a leash, and loves to ride in the car and play in the yard. Rose is the type of dog who would be perfectly happy being an only pet and the apple of her family's eye, but she could also live well with a male dog companion close to her own size. She is not, however, a big fan of cats, and because she was not treated very well by children before, we'd like to see her go into an adult only home. If you're interested in adopting Rose, or finding out how you can become a foster family or volunteer, please head to WaggingDog.org or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com!

Fluffy's foster dad says she is the best dog he has ever had the pleasure of fostering. She's very responsive to commands, loves to walk and gets along with most anyone. She even likes to be brushed and groomed, which is important for a long hair Chihuahua. Her teeth have now been professionally cleaned, she's had her shots, and is ready for a new home where she will be part of a forever family who will love her, and never abandon her.

She's 66-pounds, loves playing with other greyhounds and toys, but hasn't been tested yet with cats. As a general rule, Greyhounds should never be off leash unless they're in a totally fenced in area. Gina's $225 adoption fee includes her medical records, spay, dental cleaning, vaccinations, collar and leash. Operation Greyhound requires an application and home check before adoption. You can call (619) 588-6611 to make an appointment to meet their dogs between the hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. any day of the week.

Name: Sophia
|Sophia was pulled out of a high-kill shelter. She had a broken leg, and was turned in to be euthanized as her previous owners didn't want to spend the money to take care of her vet costs. Fortunately, Chihuahua Rescue of San Diego got her from the shelter and took her into a San Diego Animal Clinic to perform the surgery. It's been 4 months since her surgery, and she's healed so nicely that you wouldn't even know she had anything done. Sophia sleeps in her crate at night, loves her walks and is doing very well when she's left home alone. She does like other dogs but human attention is really her favorite thing. She doesn't mind having her beautiful coat brushed, and of course she's now spayed and has all her shots up to date.

Name: Devo
|Devo was in a Gumi Kill Shelter in South Korea. A volunteer from Team Inch Sighthound Rescue of So. Korea saw him, but shortly thereafter, he disappeared from the shelter. He was found 10 days later in the mountains in the snow. He was taken back to shelter and the volunteer paid to get him out. She said he fit in her hands with no muscle at all...like a stuffed toy without the stuffing, totally sagging and empty. He was brought to a vet and posted on Facebook where Operation Greyhound saw him, and decided to bring him to USA. He arrived in January and is doing fantastic. He has grown an additional 10 lbs, his back legs are still weak and sometimes get crossed when he runs and he falls down and he requires help to get back up. Nevertheless, he loves to play with the big greyhounds and with toys. He is very smart and a real survivor. Devo is still going through physical therapy and medical care, but will be available for adoption The adoption fee will reflect the expenses which Operation Greyhound has incurred. If you want to meet Devo, Operation Greyhound visiting hours are from 10 am to 3 pm, 7 days a week.

|Maddie is a 5 year old adorable, squishy pit bull mix, who's only about 55 pounds. She loves people and will cuddle as much as she can. She's a smart girl who learned her new name in two days. She makes everyone laugh when she gets "zoomies" and runs as fast as she can. She loves to play fetch - she has a favorite ball that she'll keep bringing back to you to throw. She loves to be pet and snuggled and is a wonderful companion. She loves car rides. She can keep up with a jogger (and has learned to run alongside a bicycle), or is happy just going for a stroll. Her foster family thinks the perfect family for her would be one that can give her lots of love and attention. She gets sad when left by herself, so she would love to live with a family who is home a lot and will take her places. You can read more about Maddie, and submit an adoption application, at www.pbrsd.org. Check the events page for upcoming adoption event dates so you can come out to meet her in person.

|Fiona is a mixed breed, approximately 3-4 years old, residing at the Greyhound Adoption Center in El Cajon. She was relinquished to GAC after being found as a stray and was identified to them as being a greyhound mix. Of course, she doesn't appear to be a greyhound mix at all, but regardless of her questionable pedigree, GAC had room and has been more than happy providing her with a temporary residence. But here she is, nearly two years later, still waiting for her forever home! FIona loves people and will sit and offer her paw for treats. She is playful, fun-loving, and eager to please. Fiona would enjoy a home with older children where she would be the only pet and have access to a yard where she can hunt bugs and chase butterflies.
All dogs from the Greyhound Adoption Center have a complete medical evaluation, are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and undergo a thorough dental cleaning. They are then fully evaluated for temperament and personality as well as tested with cats, small dogs, and children before being profiled for a home.

|Quinn is sweet but shy girl, a little over 1 year old. She was part of a large litter of babies who were available for adoption. Quinn and her sister, Hannah were adopted and returned. Quinn is a shy girl and takes time to get used to you. She's active and loves to explore. She's litter-box-trained and keeps a tidy pen. She loves toys, including cardboard boxes, willow toys to chew, and rattle balls to roll around. Quinn is best suited to an adult home with experienced bunny lovers. Because she is so shy she needs a family who will accept her for who she is and give her plenty of time to settle in and get used to her new home. She'd make a great family bunny but needs a roomy exercise pen, at a minimum. She may do fine with other species such as cats or gentle dogs. To Adopt, visit SanDiegoRabbits.org and complete the Adopter Profile. You may be asked to attend our Bunny 101 class prior to adopting, but that's just so you get started on the right foot!

|This handsome little guy with the expressive ears is Twinkie, and it's hard to believe he was found on the streets and then spent months cowering in the darkest corner of his shelter kennel. He wouldn't even let the volunteers come near him. He's now in a foster home with Wagging Dog Rescue. He's still shy but has shown his loving, playful side to those he trusts. Twinkie is 3 years old, and less than 10-pounds. He's a fan of belly rubs and scratches so you can tickle your way into his heart pretty quickly. He'd be perfectly happy as a lap dog, although he does love playing and running around with other dogs... possibly even a cat. Twinkie walks well on a leash, and likes car rides. He's crate trained and not a barker. If you think you're the right match for Twinkie, please go to WaggingDog.org for an application today!

He gets along very well with his foster buddy Sammy and it would be great if they were adopted together but not mandatory. He's a smart boy and loves to watch his foster mom cook. His adoption fee includes all his shots and he's been neutered. We have a great video of Cole on our Website.

Name: Willow
Willow came to us after she was found on someone�s roof in San Diego and turned over to the shelter. Willow, as you can imagine, was a strong flyer. Before even leaving the shelter, she took a short flight around the area before she calmed down and allowed us to trim her wing feathers. She has shown no signs of feather destructive behavior while being in the foster program. Willow immediately converted over to a pelleted diet and is starting to show some interest in her morning vegetables, fruit, and sprouts. She loves her afternoon nuts and will eat both pistachios and Brazil nuts, but prefers the Brazil nuts to the pistachios. She is not too excited about showers, but does tolerate a good soaking every-other day. She "steps up" very well, and although she is a bit nervous with men to have her head scratched, she has shown no aggression at all. She is a bit thin so we are offering her a few extra nuts for the calories to get the weight back on. Willow will make a wonderful companion for someone who has the time and space for a macaw.

Bailey is one of the lucky ones�a 7-8 year old dog doesn't stand a chance of getting out of the shelter she was in, but a volunteer from Labradors & Friends fell in love with her. Bailey is a perfect little lady. She LOVES everyone, she's great with kids, other dogs but would be best in a home without cats. She's house trained, good on the leash, and knows some basic commands. She was clearly once someone's girl, but they tragically never came to claim her from the shelter. Even if you're not able to adopt Bailey at this time, perhaps you could offer her a warm and loving home for the holidays as a temporary foster family. Call or go to LabradorsAndFriends.org.

Sal is a 12-15-year old African Sulcata Tortoise available for adoption from the San Diego Turtle & Tortoise Society, after being found wandering the streets of San Diego. While Sal is 20-30 pounds now, he may reach 150-pounds full-grown, and he'll outlive all of us...possibly to the ripe old age of 100. He requires an outdoor enclosure, with a heated place to sleep at night, and he mostly eats grasses, weeds, kale, lettuce, roses and hibiscus.

Name: Tootsie
Tootsie came to Parrot Education and Adoption Center In April of this year. Before that, she'd been with the same family for her entire life...13 years...but when they moved into an RV, Tootsie couldn't adjust to the cramped living quarters and tiny cage, and she began to pull her chest and leg feathers out due to stress. She's now in a foster home where she has grown back a large amount of down, and they hope she'll soon regrow some of her feathers, as well. She's now able to sleep and reside in a very large cage which is much more appropriate in size for a bird like her. She's loving and loves to cuddle and be around her people. She does tend to call out when she gets lonely, and they're working on redirecting this behavior to a more constructive one, such as playing with toys and other fun ways for her to occupy her mind when she's alone. Tootsie knows a few words such as hello and I love you, but is still too shy to speak in front of people but will chatter on and on when she's alone or in the company of other parrots. Tootsie is a fast learner and just wants to be in a forever home that will love her and care for her the way she deserves to be.

Labradors & Friends Dog Rescue would like to emphasize the benefits of adopting a senior. But if outright adoption isn't an option, then fostering, under the Agnes Fund program is also available. The Agnes Fund is basically a Hospice program where they take in seniors, put them in to caring foster homes, but L&F provides all food, bedding, medical and any other support for the life of the dog.
