Max is a lively and friendly Belgian Malinois with boundless energy and a strong loyalty to his family. While he is great with kids and patient with people, his high energy and enthusiasm can make him challenging to manage.He is potty trained and nearly leash trained, but his fearfulness means he needs consistent confidence-building and experienced handling. Despite these challenges, Max’s loving nature and eagerness to be by your side makes him a dedicated companion who thrives with the right guidance and structure.

Story
Jax is a very sweet boy with his family and will come up for pets and play with his toys, but will initially bark at strangers. My parents adopted him as a Tijuana stray so he is very reactive and afraid of other dogs. They have reached out to trainers but ultimately his reactiveness is too overwhelming for them, which is why we hope to rehome him. He's so sweet and lovey with the people he trusts, but needs training that my parents can't provide. He is not good with cats or dogs, and I'd be hesitant to have him around young children.

Story
Happy is well named, she is a happy girl. We adopted Happy after her being found by the side of the highway in Tijuana. Initially, she had some bathroom issues but we had her trained and she is very stable now and well behaved. My husband's caregiver is unable to tolerate 3 dogs and I am recently unemployed, otherwise we would not be giving her up. She loves running in the backyard chasing birds and bunnies and behaves well on walks and does very well with our other two dogs. She's a very loving girl and adores one on one time particularly with our son. She would be a wonderful companion and good protector.

Story
Hi! My name is Reina and I`m just as cute as any other puppy that cost hundreds of dollars! I love playing with toys and learning new things. I want to be with a family and learn how to be a family dog. I have sadly spent more than 70% of my life in the shelter. The shelter staff try to do what they can but I desperately need a home. I`m learning SIT and catching on fast. I`m hoping to learn SHAKE this week. Learning how to walk on a leash is an ongoing thing but I`m getting better and better each day.

Story
Gwen here, I`m pretty nervous here and am hoping to find my home soon. I am still learning that the shelter is safe but I am so used to being in a home that this just doesn`t feel right. I love pets and to give kisses and attention, but like I said I am nervous so loud noises and fast movements make me uncomfortable. So as far as a home I`d prefer a calm mellow home at least now while I`m still learning the ropes of life.
