Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Johnny Boy is a one-year-old Tibetan Terrier mix who has come a long way since I rescued him from the San Diego Humane Society's Escondido campus when he was just four months old. At that time, he was extremely scared, and the whole situation was so unfair to him, a mere puppy. One day, I received a frantic phone call from a dog owner who was desperately searching for her lost pet. Through her tears, she explained that Johnny was part of an accidental litter, and she had adopted all the puppies to good families. However, when Johnny's new potential adopters came to meet him on a busy street in Escondido, the environment was overwhelming. Johnny was shaking with fear from the noise of lawn mowers, blowers, and the constant stream of vehicles and motorcycles passing by. To make matters worse, when his owner handed him over to the new family, the husband accidentally dropped him. Johnny, terrified, took off running, and a chase ensued. When they finally caught up to him, he was frozen with fear. Despite this traumatic experience, the new family decided to adopt Johnny, assuring his original owner that they would give him time to decompress and take good care of him. However, when the original owner called to check on Johnny, the new family told her they had put him in the garage because he was too scared and wouldn't come to them. She pleaded with them to give him some time to adjust, and if it didn't work out in a week, she would take him back. Unfortunately, the family refused and blocked her from any communication. Concerned, I asked her for their phone number to inquire about Johnny's well-being and offer assistance. After speaking with the family, I learned that they had already surrendered him to the shelter, and a rescue was supposed to pick him up, though they couldn't provide the name of the rescue. They had barely had Johnny for more than four hours before giving him up to a shelter, a place that would only heighten his fear. Within a few minutes, I received an email from the shelter asking if I would take in a terrified puppy. To my surprise, it was Johnny. They described him as huddled in the corner of his kennel, defecating out of fear. I immediately agreed to take Johnny under my wings and pulled him from the shelter the very next morning. Fast forward, and Johnny Boy has blossomed into the sweetest and kindest soul. It took time for him to decompress at my home, but my dogs showed him that he could trust me. They gave him the courage he needed. He now loves playing with the other dogs and is having the time of his life. I am very impressed with his progress and so happy I took Johnny Boy under my wings. All it took was time for him to know he was safe. Today, Johnny Boy is happy, healthy, and very friendly with people he bonds with and amazing with other friendly dogs, regardless of their size. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He is respectful of the other dogs when eating, doesn't bother them at all, and takes his treats very gently from my hand. I adore his beautiful, sensitive soul. Johnny is kennel trained, very obedient, loves car rides, and enjoys playing with his toys and other dogs. However, he is still afraid of the world outside his home, and he needs continuous confidence building in that area. Johnny Boy needs a calm environment, a loving person to call his own, and another friendly dog he can play and bond with. If you live in San Diego County or surrounding areas, have a home with a yard and a secured fence, and would love to adopt Johnny Boy, please complete our adoption application at tlck9rescue.org.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 8, 2024, 2:26 am

Story
Meet Owen, your playful new best friend! A volunteer found him on the streets with no ID tag or microchip. He was taken to the vet for a checkup and then to a foster mom. We suspect he belonged to a family and got lost. Unfortunately, with no ID tag or microchip the owners couldn't be found. He got fixed, received all his vaccinations, and now he is a healthy doggy, ready to find his forever loving family. Owen is still in his puppy phase, which means he’s full of playful energy and curiosity. He might steal your socks or nibble your feet when he’s excited, but don’t worry —he’s not aggressive. He is just very playful and learning to resist those puppy temptations. With a little training and some time to mature, Owen is going to grow into an amazing companion. Owen gets along great with other dogs, but he would do best in a home without cats. He loves walking around town and is happiest when he ends up at an outdoor restaurant where he can nap and relax under the table. He doesn’t beg for food. He is great on leash, and goes potty outdoors. He goes on daily walks with a dog walker and a pack of dogs. Owen is active; therefore, a family with another active and friendly dog would be a huge plus as he likes company. He would love to join his future family on hiking or other outdoor activities. Owen deserves a forever loving family. Submit your application at www.drwb.org if you’re interested in meeting him..

Please come to our adoption event to meet them: Saturday 05/28 from 4:30 pm to 6: pm at PetSmart in Clairemont, 4253 Genesee Ave, San Diego, CA 92117 **Please read all the way to the bottom about our organization, and how to procced to adopt. Nachos is a wonderful mellow young male fur 4 leg boy with lots of love to give you!! he has this wonderful soft & wired hair that makes him look so cute!!😊making him a hypoallergenic or low shedding boy:) He is very playful; and gets along with all dogs. He plays so much with his buddy an Australian Shepherd named Lady. However, at the beginning he is a little shy - once he is comfortable he will be very playful. He is crate trained. He is a cuddle bug once he is comfortable. He has the ideal size as well - not too small neither too large:) As with all rescued fur kids; he is going to need training, love reinforcement; as you know they all come from a tough beginning on their lives and the art of adopting a rescued creature is to bring them to be the best they can be with love and patience. He hasn't been around cats since we rescued him; therefore, we do not know how he will be cats. Nachos will make a great family addition to any family:) He was found next to the death body of another dog; we assumed a sister - he was crying for her - and wasn't let her be there left alone - The hybrid is a people pleaser and will, therefore, respond well to training while enjoying the attention and the chance to make you happy that comes with it. This Schnauzer Terrier Mix is entirely compatible with children because they demonstrate both playfulness and patience. Moreover, these dogs are quite easy to socialize. Are you ready to give him a forever home? If so, Please text at 619-576-0747 as 1st type of contact or email veronica.aaofusa@gmail.com or visit our website at www.aaofus.org and complete our application at the following link: http://aaofus.org/adoption-application.html .
