Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Sammy was adopted from the San Diego Humane Society when he was 2 yrs. old. We didn’t know any of his background history but fell in love when we saw him. We soon realized he didn’t like his lower back petted and had some trust issues. We have children and for the most part he’s very good with them but he needs a home with only adults who understand his petting boundaries. Sammy would be a great dog for a single person or couple and would make a great Companion. He’s a good running mate, loves water and is very smart! Unfortunately with small kids we can’t trust him completely. Sammy is a great dog, just needs the right home.

Hacksaw is an 11 year old sweet as sugar girl. My husband is ill and I am gone all day and evening working and just can't care for her. It's not fair to her. She is couped up in an apartment all day long and is depressed. She deserves better. She loves cats, people, kids, toys, playing, walking, all the fun stuff. She love to give affection and receive it.

Story
Campo came to is when he was 8 weeks old. He was going to be taken to the shelter and my husband fell in love with his little face. Campo is how 7 months old and he has grown into a very beautiful strong and active dog. We live in a condo with a small non existent back yard. He needs room to run, animals to chase. He is sweet one on one but he is not getting along with our 12 year old Pekingese and we worry now someone is going to hurt. We walk him as often as possible but he has not been socialized with other dogs. He does not bark incessantly and is a great watch dog. He needs some behavior training but he does not have any bad issues as of now. We love him but he is just too much dog for our lives and home.
