Story
Meet Churro! This stocky nugget transferred to us from the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility. Churro is an adorable, loving, active little acrobat! While he doesn't climb the chain-link fencing at our rescue, he has climbed our Adoption Event x-pens with ease. He can catapult over our 3.5ft pony wall when he wants to see what we're up to on the other side! On the occasions that Churro doesn't clear the pony wall, he'll grab it with his paws and pull himself over like a little bodybuilder! Churro is an athletic and strong dog in a tiny package! He doesn't have the respiratory issues and considerations that his Pug ancestors have, so pack this tiny boy up and take him on your next hike! With his boundless energy, Churro is ready to see the world! Regarding COVID-19 and other contagious illnesses: Please reschedule any visits if you are sick.

JR is about 13 years old and weighs 20 lbs. Despite his age he’s still active and playful, and walks well on leash. He’s been with us for several years and was very timid. Our staff has been working to socialize him. He’s still a little shy when meeting new people but once he gets to know you he’s friendly. JR is looking for a forever home where he can spend his golden years with a family who is patient and loving.

Story
The girl with the winning smile! Hey guys! I am Sussie, Sussie Q. I am a 4 years old, female Pug mix, spayed and about 11 lbs. Heard of the Chandler 55 case? Yes, I am a part of the disabled hoarded dog pack that was rescued from the monster house. With my sweet spirit and smile, you’d never guess what I have gone through. But only when you see my vet report! It’s manageable I pawmise. I have Congenital Angular front limb deformity and Chronic orthopedic condition that affects mobility in hind legs that may have been caused by soft tissue injury that has healed. I have started a monthly injection of Librela (Cost depends on established vet pricing and dosage, ~$100-$200). It is the first and only monthly anti-NGF Monoclonal antibody injection to help control pain for canines with Osteoarthritis. At this time, my foster mom states that the Librela is working. As long as I am being medically managed for mobility issues no surgery is necessary, but will not know know more until later. Surgery will be my adopter's financial responsibility if it is determined it is needed later by our future established vet. Regarding my training, I am leash trained for the 5-10 min walks I take due to leg deformities. The stroller with a soft blankie is my friend! I am pee pad trained. I am not crate trained. Now coming to my personality, the best part! My mama says that I am an absolute perfection! I love playing with dogs and toys, chewing on bones and sometimes your stuff haha but being all cute about it! I am a lap dog and you'd love my snuggles. If I could climb up on your shoulders and into your skin, I would do it! We can be best mates watching tv, all cuddling and being adorable. I am quite fond of dogs, but big ones are scarier and need warming up time. I haven't met cats yet, but I think I will be fine. what, how do I even chase them?! I am very good with kids! I do get separation anxiety where I get anxious and scream, but having another dog completely calms me. I am obviously not a hiking dog, but I do make a good cafe date in my stroller. I am always grateful for my rescue and leaving behind that house of horrors. I do a lil dance when I get a new soft blanket and my zeal is infectious. I am the absolutely cutest little nugget that everyone falls in love with when they meet. I am looking for only the best home that will spoil me rotten because that is what this little princess deserves. If there are no dogs in the home I will need humans around for companionship. Any DINK couple around that likes to bring their dog everywhere with them? I am looking for a home with the best chew bones, softest blankets, and good sunbathing spots. If you think you have that X-factor, let's go get a drink together! My adoption fee is $300 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip.

Story
Tanny is a loving and funny girl! She is extroverted, brave, vocal, and full of life. Very loving to humans and gets along with other dogs. She lives indoors and goes out on a pee pee pad. Tanny does not like to share her bowl of kibble while she eats. She can be an escape artist, so please be careful with front and side door. She has to go to a very secure home with good fencing/security.
