**Meet Buster – A Gentle Giant Ready for His Second Chance!**

**Location:** San Diego Humane Society
San Diego, California (Escondido Campus)
**Intake Date:** 4/13
**Status:** Available for adoption

Buster is a 4 year old big, lovable boy who found his way to the shelter through no fault of his own. He was surrendered by an owner who had adopted him just a week earlier from another shelter, but unfortunately couldn’t keep him due to breed restrictions.

Despite the short time in his previous home, Buster made a great impression — he’s housetrained, neutered, enjoys the company of large dogs, and adores attention from people (this may change once he’s bonded with his family). During his intake, he remained calm, walked well on leash, and was relaxed throughout his exam. They even administered his rabies vaccine while he was enjoying a snack — that’s how chill this guy is!

Buster is currently on the adoption floor. He’s a great dog with so much love to give — he just needs the right place and people.

**Interested in helping Buster?** Please contact the San Diego Humane Society for more information on adoption. Let’s find this sweet soul the home he deserves!

Tiger is in need of new placement. His family is too social for a Fila. He is near Toledo, OH. If you cannot adopt, foster or transport south toward me would be GREAT! Please text or call 205-300-0039 if you can help. Also, we depleted our funds on the last run so gas $ will also needed if I have to go north for him. Thanks!

Can anyone recommend a boarding facility for a Detroit family's Fila? He is NOT a doggy day care Fila. Lol. I know yall understand.

We're thrilled to announce that Tiger, our playful new rescue from the PSPCA, has officially joined his forever family! 🐾 From the moment he walked through the door, he’s fit right in and is already bonding with his new siblings. Watching him play and explore has brought so much joy to our hearts. We’re so grateful for this sweet boy, his perfect home, and can’t wait for updates on all their adventures ahead! 🐅❤️

After 2 years with us at Fila 911 Rescue and Rehab, and even more time with a bloodhound rescue before that, Chief has finally found the loving home he’s always deserved! 🐾❤️

This journey has been a long one, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to see this sweet boy start the next chapter of his life.

Can I get your attention please?! This coming week Fila 911 Rescue and Rehab will be going north out of AL to Philly, PA, where we will meet up with Chief's adopter, who will have their own lengthy ride from CT. Once empty, we will pick up Tiger (2), Daisy (3), and Luka (9), from the Philly shelter, (PASPCA). From there the pups will be westward bound for homes in Toledo, OH, and NW Iowa. Daisy, the fawn female, is still in need of a home. If you can open yours to her, please complete a free application on our website fila911rescueandrehab.rescuegroups.org. We are going out of our way for sure, to give sweet senior Luka her last chance at the love she's been denied. If you can spare even five bucks for gas, we really need it. Donations can be made at PayPal [email protected], Venmo , Cash App $FilaRescue, or Zelle 205-300-0039 or [email protected]. Thank you SO MUCH!

For our European Followers, we are doing a courtesy post for 2 purebred female Filas with papers.

They are 5 years old and were abandoned by the prior owner. Currently located in Hungary, and we are sharing their lines. Transport has been offered by current handlers. They have also agreed to cover sterilization. Please respond to this post if you are interested, or can help.

🐾 Meet Tiger! 🐾

This goofy and playful young Fila is ready to find his forever home! 🏡 Tiger came in with Daisy from a hoarding situation where he faced neglect, but he’s already come a long way and is looking for a family who can appreciate his sweet and silly nature. At 119lbs, he’s a big guy with a big heart! ❤️

Tiger will be neutered and up to date on his vaccines, and we are currently looking for either a foster or adopter to give him the love and care he deserves. 🐕 He’s a sweet boy who just wants to have fun and feel safe.

If you’re interested in meeting Tiger, visit him at PSPCA Philadelphia! Let’s help him find his perfect match. 💙

URGENT NEED FOR FOSTERS!!

02/06/2025

Update: Daisy appears to be 3-5 years old, and fairly healthy. She was brought in by Animal control due to a hoarding situation with several other large breed dogs. Did great for an initial meet and greet with women, but is timid with men. Seems interested in other pups, and would likely do well with a less dominant dog. The situation is dire, and we desperately need help in order to pull her and another Fila that came in with her!

🚨 Meet Daisy, a sweet Fila Brasileiro, currently at the Pennsylvania SPCA in Philadelphia! 🚨

Daisy’s story is still unfolding, and little is known about her background at this time. What we do know is that she’s in need of a loving foster or adopter *as soon as possible.* This sweet girl deserves a fresh start and we know there’s someone out there who can provide her with the stability and love she craves.

If you or someone you know can help Daisy find her forever home, please reach out to us or the PSPCA directly. 🏠 Let’s give her the second chance she deserves! 💖

Here at Fila 911 Rescue and Rehab, we believe every Fila deserves a chance to find love and happiness, and Sweet Fiona is no exception! ❤️

Fiona is a gentle and loving girl who has been through a lot, but her sweet soul shines through every day. She’s looking for her forever home where she can feel safe and cherished. 🏡

At Fila 911, we provide not only rescue but rehabilitation for dogs like Fiona who need some extra care. Our goal is to help them heal and find the perfect family to call their own. Fiona would thrive in a calm, loving environment where she can continue her journey to a brighter future. 🌟

If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this sweet girl, please reach out today! Let's give Fiona the loving home she truly deserves. 🐾💖

It looks like we may have a trip to the northeast coming up. If you are up that way, or south but along the route from AL and have been waiting on a Fila, now is the time. Sharing expenses makes it super affordable to get one to his or her new home! Give me a call at 205-300-0039 if you're ready for your new family member
