Story
Paco is a neutered male black and white Staffi/Lab mix. He is 18 months old and weighs 60 lbs. so he will be a big boy when fully grown. He has been raised in Mexico by a lovely family and all vaccines are up to date and he is housetrained. Paco has lots of energy! He would love a yard to run in and a friend to play with. He is good with other dogs although he is overly anxious during initial introductions. He currently lives with several other dogs. He has not been around cats. Paco is as sweet as can be and loves kids. He just wants to find his own person or family to love. Because he’s young, obedience training would help him be the best dog he can be. To meet Paco, contact Dana by email or text: dkmikel@gmail.com or text 760.519.5532.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Maya the pitt-o-potomus! She’s a fun loving and active dog, looking for her home for Christmas. If you’re looking for a wiggly friend to cuddle with she’s your girl. She’s happy to lounge on a comfy bed at home, or go for a run, but the best thing about Maya is that she always gives you something to smile about. She’s good around people and cats. But due to her fear of other dogs they require a proper introduction. She is crate trained, treadmill trained, house trained, and knows all her basics including sit, down, recall, and how to walk on leash (although the excitement sometimes gets in the way of that one). Discounted continued training is available through RaisingK9s Dog Training who houses her best puppy pal available for play dates and fun. Her adoption fee is $350and includes her spay, microchip and current vaccinations. To fill out an adoption application, visit https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/SSP-A-846 To follow Maya on her journey to a loving family on SPOT's Facebook page, visit https://facebook.com/spotsavespets/ and on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/spotsavespets/

Though she enjoys her peaceful moments, she's also known for her zoomies-these bursts of energy will make you smile as she zips around! Posh loves chasing after balls, although she's not much for bringing them back-she's just in it for the chase. She's a loving companion who enjoys giving sweet kisses to those she trusts. Posh Spice is a fan of puzzle toys and snuffle mats, which keep her mind engaged and help her relax. She would thrive in a quiet home where she can unwind, play at her own pace, and shower you with affection. Her perfect home would be one without other dogs or young children, but with lots of cozy spaces to rest, yummy treats and, most importantly, a loving family of her own! If you're looking for a fun-loving pup with a lot of heart, Posh Spice may be the perfect match for you! Come meet her today! Primary Color: Tan Weight: 62 Age: 4yrs 9mths 0wks

She came into our care with her bestie Makana (913689) and they can't imagine life without each other. Halia and Makana are each other's built-in playmate and never get tired of entertaining themselves. These goofballs can often be found tripping over each other in pursuit of a tennis ball or flopping down on the ground for a gentle wrestle. If you're looking for a duo that will bring laughter and light into your life, Halia and Makana will certainly deliver. Think these adorable girls might be the ones for you?

Makana loved spending time indoors with her family, especially curling up on the couch for a cozy movie night. While she takes a little time to warm up to new people and situations, a patient family will be rewarded with her loyal companionship. Makana came in with her bestie Halia (913690) and they're a package deal! Makana and Halia are glued at the hip and are equal parts snuggle buddies and playmates. Once they wear themselves out, they love to hustle over with big, silly grins as they soak up all the attention you can give them! Ready to brighten your life and home with these sweet girls?
