Meeko was an owner surrender to the shelter. His mom was unable to care for him after being with her for 8 years. She was absolutely devastated. The shelter said he was too awesome to stay in the shelter and that he should definitely go to a home or hope you love. He is a very easy going old man. He is about 10 lb fully vetted vaccinated to fix microchipped. He gets along with all dogs. He likes to follow you around and sleep most of the day. He loves to be held and would be a great companion for someone who has the time for him. He loves to go and walks and he loves going in the car.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bowie, is a 2 yr old sweet Maltese/Poodle Mix puppy. At one point in his life he thought that he had a wonderful family, but when his owners decided to move they also decided to dump him in a Mexico shelter to be killed. Thankfully, a good samaritan took him in and asked for help, but for months no one stepped up to help Bowie. Until a friend of mine reached out to me to see if I could help this precious puppy. Of course I said YES, poor baby deserves a chance at a great life. I named him Bowie. Bowie, is now fully vetted, vaccinated, neutered and microchipped. He's so ready for a loving family and maybe even another friendly dog to bond and play with. This sweet tiny boy deserves the best!! He loves people, older considerate kids and other dogs his size. Bowie, is very smart, treat motivated so any additional training will be a snap. I can't tell you enough about Bowie, we all just love him so!!! he doesn't bother our cats uses the doggie door like a champ and loves watching Animal Planet on TV, he's an absolute gem. If you live in Southern California, San Diego County or surrounding areas, have a home with a yard with a fully secured yard and would love to adopt Bowie, then please complete our adoption application at tlck9rescue.orgVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 28, 2024, 2:08 pm
