Here is what the foster tells us about him: "Mr. Genie is a passive, gentle dog who needs a patient, quiet family. He walks very well on a leash and gets along with other dogs and cats. He's potty trained, crate trained, and knows the commands 'sit', 'down' and is working on 'wait'. He enjoys short walks on cool days, tennis balls and back scratches. Mr. Genie has a heart of gold and just wants someone to love him for his sweet, gentle nature. He will need a lot of time adjusting to his new environment and learning to trust that his new family will be kind and gentle with him. Mr. Genie reacts best to a lot of positive reinforcement and treats. He is a delightful companion!" Interested in meeting Mr. Genie? Email us at escadoptions@sdhumane.org to arrange a visit!

How Johnny arrived: Johnny was brought in by a Humane Law Enforcement Team on 5/10/24.

Story

Evette was saved off the euthanasia list. She’s looking for her happily ever after. Evette had entered a shelter after she was abandoned by her family. She was found in the back yard of a home that caught fire, but no one claimed her, so into the shelter system she went. She was one of the few lucky ones who were rescued and is currently in a foster home in Los Angeles. Evette loves car rides, does amazing with kids. She is spayed and current on her vaccinations and also has lots of energy so she would do best with a home that has a backyard and someone who will walk her every day. Her foster mom says of Evette they are still working on introductions to other dogs. Her default is interest and wanting to play, although she doesn’t know how to play yet so she can be a little rough, mouthy. For these reasons, if joining another home, it would be best with a dog that is tolerant and well adjusted. She’s still learning and adapting well overall in her foster home. With a slow introduction and an experienced handler her confidence will start to shine.
