Story
Meet Cole! This perfect tripod pittie is a 1-2yr old boy. Cole came to us from Devore shelter less than an hour before he was set to be euthanized. This poor boy was never given a chance when he was immediately listed as rescue only, we have no idea why. This boy is incredibly sweet, he is shy at first but once he warms up he will love to jump in your arms and give you hugs. He is also incredibly smart, he is potty and crate trained and know hug and sit on command. He is still in his decompression period but so far his slow intros with big and small dogs are going AMAZING. This poor boy has gone through too much and has come out still being the sweetest and most amazing boy! And please don’t let the missing leg fool you, he loves to run and play around and hop on couches. If you’re interested in adopting this amazing boy please apply at underdogheroes.org and let’s find Cole his forever home!

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.
