My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Duke is a love bug male Terrier/Chihuahua mix, born 7/8/2012. This big love bug is just that, he is full of cuddles and rubs. He loves to play with you or chew on his cow hoove. Duke does not really like being around other dogs, he wants you to himself, but he will tolerate them. We think that he was kept outdoors most of the time because he will not stay outside for long periods of time without you; he loves being in the house with you and his family. Duke will just come up to you and lie next to your feet and hope to get some loving from you; he really is hoping to get his belly rubs. Duke is just starving for love and attention and he really deserves it because he is a great dog; we do not think that he got much of it before. He sleeps well in his crate and loves to sleep near your bed. He is housetrained on the potty pads and always uses them, but he will also go outside using the doggy door. If you have children he would like them to be 10 years of age or older so that they will not be so rough on him. He does not like to be left at home all day alone, being alone for a few hours would be fine or a stay at home parent would be great for him, or even another dog. Duke was extremely heavy when we got him and he has lost a lot of weight, just playing in the backyard with his foster or the other dogs. He has learned how to walk with a leash, but he needs a harness on him or he will pull the collar right over his neck. Duke is ready to go to his new home and get lots of love from you and in return you will get more love then you ever would want.

SECURE FENCING REQUIRED FOR ALL OF OUR RESCUED DOGS.

For more information email: starshalodogs@yahoo.com.

If you are considering adopting a dog through HALO Here are some helpful hints:

Bring pictures of your yard to show secure fencing. Most of our dogs require a 6 foot fenced yard. Yards must be cleared of any fox tail weeds. The adoption donation is cash or check.

We will follow up on the dogs well-being within 30 days after the  adoption to make sure that they are happy and thriving.

We do adopt small dogs to apartments or condo and need to see pictures of the patio or balcony area. If you rent, please bring copy of your lease to show you can have pets and any size restrictions.

We do not adopt to homes with children under the age of five (5) unless we know the history of the dog with young children. All Children MUST be present at adoption. If you own a dog and are looking for a friend please bring your dog with you so that they can be introduced to make sure that they will get along.

More about this rescue

H.A.L.O. is the East Contra Costa County Homeless Animals' Lifeline Organization, better known as H.A.L.O. We are a nonprofit, all volunteer, 501c(3) charitable organization who assists dogs, cats and their owners in Eastern Contra Costa County.
We rescue approximatly 500 animals a year, all by volunteers, all in our homes and in our hearts.
We are not a shelter,
We have grant funds for the spaying and neutering of East County ferals and food for them if needed.
We have a program called "Angel Ears" where certified dogs and their trainers go to the local libraries and the children read to the dogs. This has proven a very effective way to increase reading skills rapidly. We also take the dogs to senior facilities.
We are in need of volunteer in many capacities.
