Meet Churro! This stocky nugget transferred to us from the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility. Churro is an adorable, loving, active little acrobat! He can catapult over our 3.5ft pony wall when he wants to see what we're up to on the other side! On the occasions that Churro doesn't clear the pony wall, he'll grab it with his paws and pull himself over like a little bodybuilder! Churro is an athletic and strong dog in a tiny package! He doesn't have the respiratory issues and considerations that his Pug ancestors have, so pack this tiny boy up and take him on your next hike! With his boundless energy, Churro is ready to see the world! Regarding COVID-19 and other contagious illnesses: Please reschedule any visits if you are sick.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Check Me out ! Meet Maggie Grace!  She is the happiest ball of energy you will ever meet! She is always the life of the party where ever she goes! Maggie is a 3 year old, 11# Pug mix. She is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and given her first round of flea medication.  Maggie has had a rough couple of months. She was seized as part of a cruelty case (for unknown reasons), and then red listed due to having an old broken leg. Amazing Strays rescued her and had her leg fixed, in partnership with 15/10 Foundation. She is still recovering from her surgery, but overall it went well and she is doing great. Maggie should not need anymore medical care for her leg, but she will forever walk with some degree of a limp. Her leg does not slow her down at all! Maggie is good with other dogs, unknown with cats, and good with both men and women. Due to Maggie's old injury and subsequent surgery; older, respectful kids would be best. She is also house trained, walks well on a leash, and travels well in the car.  Her adoption fee is $495. If you would like to meet Maggie please click HERE to fill out an application!

JR is about 13 years old and weighs 20 lbs. Despite his age he’s still active and playful, and walks well on leash. He’s been with us for several years and was very timid. Our staff has been working to socialize him. He’s still a little shy when meeting new people but once he gets to know you he’s friendly. JR is looking for a forever home where he can spend his golden years with a family who is patient and loving. If you would like to meet this dog you can read about our adoption process and submit an application on our website at: http://www.bajaanimalsanctuary.org/dogs.htm  November 2, 2024, 4:54 pm

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Foster or Forever Home Wanted! Meet Ted! Alright, so Ted isn’t exactly our usual rescue—he’s more friend than Labrador—but when we saw this little guy about to be euthanized, we couldn’t just look away. Ted is a 1-year-old Pug with a big personality packed into a compact frame. He’s new to us, so we’re still getting to know him, but what we do know? He’s got that signature Pug charm, a little bit of sass, and a whole lot of love to give. Stay tuned as we learn more about Ted’s likes, quirks, and what kind of forever home will be the perfect fit. In the meantime, if you’re a fan of squishy faces, snorty greetings, and a sidekick who doesn’t take up much space—Ted just might be your guy! Head to www.LabradorsandFriends.org to fill out an application. Ted is in Southern California.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2025, 7:16 pm
