Story
Jessie is 14years old. We adopted her from the shelter about 8 years ago. She is the sweetest, most loving dog you'll meet. She is great with kids and loves to be pet and cuddled. She loves to go on walks and used to be my running buddy back in the day. She is very used to grooming so it's a breeze at the groomers. She needs a home where people will be there to give her attention. She needs to NOT be alone as she has anxiety. A home with other dogs would be great or with someone who is stay at home most of the time. She is potty trained but has had accidents. Someone who is compassionate and patient. She is very social with other dogs and people.

Dora

Labrador Retriever Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Female, 7 yrs 1 mo
La Mesa, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Dora and her sister, Jo Jo, were dumped in a TJ park when they were 6 weeks old. Our rescue brought them in, gave them much needed medical care and lots of attention and now they are thriving. But because of their early experience, Dora is slow to warm, but extremely sweet once she trusts you. She loves attention, enjoys playing with other dogs and going on walks. Dora is extremely loyal and wants nothing more than to be with her person. She does bond well to females, and is much more nervous around males. Ideally, she would make a great companion to a single person with a yard and a 6 foot fence. Dora will come when called and has learned to sit for her treats. There is an application and a home visit. We are in La Mesa.

Labrador Retriever Rhodesian Ridgeback

La Mesa, CA
Size

Details

Story
Sophie is a friendly, playful pup who enjoys going on walks, getting attention and eating. She gets along with other dogs; she sticks up for herself when dogs may try to dominate her. Sophie had been in a home where the older dog in the home kept beating up on her, so she was returned. While she was at this home, she was fed very well (too well), and not exercised enough. We are working to get rid of the extra 8 pounds she gained. She needs the right forever home. Her ideal home would be one where she gets daily exercise, lots of attention, with no alpha dogs. Sophie enjoys hugs, and is very well behaved. She comes when called, knows her name, sits on command, doesn't chew or dig. She's the perfect family dog.
