We are very saddened to learn Chester is not working out in his new home. Chester was never a part of our rescue but we did help his owner network him and find his current adopter. The initial agreement was if things didn’t work out she’d take him back and we’d continue helping her as much as we can. Unfortunately, as her cancer has progressed she is depending on a caregiver herself and lives in an apartment without a yard making taking him back not immediately possible. We’ve been in touch with the adopter and explained this but are very concerned for Chester as we don’t feel any dog should remain in a home where they are not wanted. So we are resharing his original post in hopes of helping him find a safe landing once again. Because Chester was never in our rescue we don’t know much about him. It’s our understanding the adoption isn’t working out due to an incident with another dog in the home. However, according to his original owner he was always dog friendly and used to frequent dog parks when she wasn’t sick. During his time with his adopter he was boarded over the holidays with a local trainer who we are happy to put any interested parties in touch with to gain more insight about Chester’s temperament and disposition. We are also happy to put any interested parties in direct contact with his current adopters should someone out there be interested in giving him a forever home.

The transformation in both Luna and Salty is seriously like night and day. Both of these dogs are ones that came in with huge aversions to strangers. Our pack walks have really helped them get to the next level as they literally run to our guests now in excitement and soliciting attention and affection. Where we have gotten them to where they are wonderful in public they are still not fans of strangers in the home. They both are so ready for a home of their own and have waited so long but need a home that’s low traffic and willing to put them away when guests come over. On a good note they are crate trained and love their crate but them both also have impeccable house manners and don’t need a crate and would be fine putting them in bedroom when guests are over. They are both solidly housebroken with lie to med energy and are great with just a couple walks a day. Please reach out if you are interested in adopting or consider sharing our post for other eyes to see as they are our two longest term residents and it’s time to give the same opportunity they had to other dogs in need.

Updates like this mean the world to us and are a reminder of why we continue on this selfless journey. Moana was rescued from the Bonita shelter in 2020 after she was relinquished with a broken leg that was never addressed and healed incorrectly. Because of those of you that have supported us throughout the years she was able to get the care she needed and is now living the life in San Francisco. To all of those that have donated, fostered, networked and volunteered over the years we want to thank you for making what we do possible.

Ranger is Australian Shepherd turned up to 11. Athletic and energetic? He’ll wow you with his speed and agility. Attentive and loyal? Ranger is the prototypical “Velcro Aussie” and craves connection and guidance from his people. Wariness of strangers? Ranger is slow to warm up to new people and requires careful and deliberate introductions.

Once he is comfortable, Ranger is as sweet, silly, loving, and affectionate as can be. He loves snuggling into trusted people and never wanders far. He enjoys playing with the herding ball, hiking with his foster siblings, and running. He’s smart and very food motivated so picking up new commands is a breeze.

Ranger will do best in a home prepared to meet his exercise and enrichment needs. He’ll need ongoing training and socialization to help him continue to build confidence. Having a confident dog in the home to play with would be a huge help.

Duke is a 2 year old labradoodle that came into rescue due to know fault of his own. He’s kid and dog friendly, and on the submissive side. We are currently looking for a foster, foster to adopt, or adopter. He will need to be neutered before finalizing an adoption. If you are in the San Diego area and can help us with fostering please send us a message. If you are looking to adopt, please fill out an application on our website.

Pablo, who will always be our sweet Bello, just celebrated his 5th birthday. He was originally relinquished to us at 10 months and was said to have aggression issues. He was actually the sweetest boy ever but didn’t want to be outside as neo’s are Velcro dogs and bond intensely with their people. I wanted to keep this boy so bad but then got one of those dream applications in for him and had to remind myself love isn’t ownership but wanting the absolute best for the one you love.

Happy Birthday Pablo, you big lug. Sending big kisses to that smooshy face of yours.

We were contacted about these found dogs in Chula Vista. The finder is taking them to the shelter. Please share so owners can reclaim. If owners don’t reclaim, please let us know if you can foster so they don’t have to stay there long. This shelter only has outdoor kennels and it’s very cold at night, and we will put a hold on them if a foster can be found.

UPDATE: we were told the dogs were taken to the shelter but are not seeing them listed. Hopefully they were reclaimed by their owners. We will continue to check the shelters incoming dogs and help should it be needed.

Last night we were contacted about 3 found dogs. We scanned the dogs for her but unfortunately a chip wasn’t found. The shelter with jurisdiction doesn’t open until one and they will be taken there to give the owners a chance to reclaim them. We will put a hold on the dogs in the event the owners don’t reclaim them. We are doing this because we are concerned if they go up for public adoption the ‘s will be adopted and the will languish and be at risk for euthanasia. For us to be able to do this we need to line up ‘s in the area. All 3 are super friendly.

This is such an exciting project and one that is greatly needed in the community. It is our hope once this one is off the ground it will become a model for others to open around the country.

Most won’t understand the significance of these pics and how they bring so much joy. Larry was a dog that we were never able to find a foster for and because not all of the dogs here are friendly with other dogs he had to spend the his entire time here living a life of crate and rotate. It was heartbreaking and so unfair but the only way to ensure his safety. Seeing him being able to lounge and relax wherever he wants is something I’ve wanted for him, for so long. I’m seriously over the moon with this adoption and just feeling so grateful.

This just happened!!!! One year, 6 months and 24 days and Larry has finally found his forever home!!!!
