Poppy

Chihuahua Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Female, Young
El Cajon, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Poppy is the sweetest, spunkiest girl you’ll ever meet. I am rehoming her with a heavy heart. She loves to tag along everywhere and is a great companion dog as she loves to be with her person. She will add a spark of energy to the right persons life and will snuggle in your lap when it’s time to rest. She is very much as Velcro dog but also is independent when she wants to be. She is completely potty trained and knows basic commands such as sit, lay down, wait, go to bed, and crate. She is perfect for someone wanting companionship and preferably someone with a moderately active lifestyle.

Story
Meet Daffodil! This bouncy gal transferred to us from the San Diego Humane Society! She was found running at large with her buddy Minnie (adopted, not a bonded pair), and they made their way safely to the shelter. Daffodil was scared and wary of the other dogs at first. Now, she loves to hang out with all her new friends, bounces around for attention, loves to climb onto our shoulders, and just wants to be loved! When around new folks, she is shy and fearful. Daffodil is looking for a home that can build her confidence. Regarding COVID-19 and other contagious illnesses: Please reschedule any visits if you are sick.

Story
Meet Carlito! Carlito has come a long way since his transfer to us from the San Diego Humane Society. He was shy, frightened, and emaciated, so we knew we would have to take an extremely gentle approach with this little guy. Carlito is such a cutie! He has since completed his weight gain and is happy and healthy! He has shown us how wild and silly he can be with his friends as they race around the play yards! While he can be a bit skittish at times, he allows us to give him gentle rubs, kisses, and will even close his eyes when we hit his favorite scritch spot: his chest and chin! We highly recommend checking out Carlito's birthday post as it will elaborate on the behavioral considerations listed below: https://www.facebook.com/heartofgoldsshelter/posts/pfbid02MgpVtUMYLWnz72nPMAt5PFAu8evecv9a4QFWDDVjeuceosSxsWYU6vgqXutNtDWpl Behavioral considerations: Carlito is quite scared of the world outside of the rescue facility. He enjoys the known such as his routine and our staff. He will do best in a kind, gentle, patient, and quiet home that is understanding of his need to take new things slowly and at his pace. Due to evading capture for quite some time prior to being caught by Humane Law Enforcement with a catchpole, Carlito is terrified of being harnessed, will alligator roll when he feels the resistance of a leash/lead, and will dart out of a door or escape route should the opportunity present itself. He also prefers not to be held as this feels constricting to him but will gladly hop onto a trusted person's lap for gentle snuggles. He is a street survivor after all, and his small stature means he had to be fast, agile, and smart to survive. An escape-proof yard is a must for him to safely have fun, explore, and race around as he so loves to do! He's so fast! Regarding COVID-19 and other contagious illnesses: Please reschedule any visits if you are sick.
