Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Lola is being surrendered to me by my long time and trusted foster family.  Unfortunately, 5 + yrs. ago Lola, was abandoned with them by her original family.   My fosters were babysitting Lola while her family was away on vacation, but they never came back for her. So, she's been with them for over 5 yrs. now. I have always known that Lola does not do well with one of the other senior females in the house.  Regardless they continued to work with Lola to make it work, but it's not working. It's gotten worse and I agree with them it's best to rehome Lola. Their other dog is a tripod chihuahua and getting weaker in her old age.  These 2 seniors need peace in their lives.  Lola is a chihuahua mix about 8-9 yrs. old now.  She's a good dog and very loving but should probably be an only dog or with another friendly male dog her size. She loves attention and older considerate children. She's 100% potty trained.  She sleeps through the night. And oh boy does she love her walks and hikes.  She would be a wonderful companion dog!!!  Lola is fully vaccinated, spayed and microchipped.  If you live in San Diego County or surrounding areas own a home with a yard and 6-foot fence and want to foster or adopt Lola please complete one of our online applications at tlck9rescue.org   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 9:16 pm

Story
Meet Hero! Hero is 3 years old and 15lbs. They named me Hero because they took me out of an abusive relationship. My master didn't love me. Other than my bruises, I only had a harness with name zero. I need a family who has time and patience. I love to play with other dogs my size. I'm still very scared of male humans, and it will take me some time to trust them. I am a fast learner, I recently learned to use the doggy door to go outside. I love to run, walk, and jump and would enjoy long walks with you. I have my own bed, but I enjoy sneaking in bed for a snuggle, as long as my humans don't mind. My foster mom said she understands it's overwhelming to experience all this love and is hoping to find that perfect family for me. Please fill out an application.

Story
*COURTESY POST* Jeffrey is a very special little boy who deserves a very special home, who will pamper him and spoil him, and can provide for his medication necessities. Jeffrey was rescued from the shelter after being given just hours to live as he was vocalizing and the shelter could not figure out why. He needed more care than they could offer. A rescue organization immediately stepped in to save his life. The very first night, they ended up at the hospital to have him checked out. As they could not find any answers as his diagnostics look normal he then went to a neurologist and specialist where he underwent more bloodwork, X-rays an MRI and CT scan. His results showed his growth plates are not fully closed, primarily in his neck, which was causing him great discomfort. His results also revealed he has hypothyroidism. Now that Jeffrey is on pain medication and thyroid medicine, his rescue says he’s a whole new dog! As he does have medical needs, his new parent(s) will need to financially be able to continue long term pain management and thyroid meds. Jeffrey is approximately 7 years old and weighs just 5 lbs. His rescue says he’s potty trained with a routine, cuddly and affectionate with his people, but can be comically spicy with strangers though can do no harm as he has little to no teeth. If you can offer Jeffrey the life he deserves and are searching for a cute little buddy with tons of personality, please reach out to be connected with his rescue.
