Story
Luka is a healthy 3 year old Pitbull. He is very active and has a lot of love to give. My father got him when he was a puppy from a family that could no longer keep them in their apartment. My father, the main owner's health is declining and I am physically disabled, and am a wheelchair user, so we are unable to keep him. He does need house training, but he follows simple commands well. He is friendly with dogs in general but can play too rough with other dogs his size. He has a quirky and fun personality and loves to lean his upper body on everything. He's been an outside dog and usually uses the bathroom whenever he is taken out on a walk. For toys and treats, he doesn't have any specific tastes; he will play with and eat whatever you give him. For brand new people/strangers, he can react very energetically and will try to jump on and lick them.

Story
Bonnie was discovered chained to a fence in Tijuana. As result of this neglect, she suffered from injuries and pressure sores. Her mouth was severely infected, and she was shamefully undernourished. We had her evaluated by one of our veterinarian partners who provided the initial care required to improve her health and wellbeing. She was fostered in Tijuana by the same veterinarian, under close supervision, until she was well enough to come to her foster in the San Diego. She is excellent with other dogs, cats, and people. She is beyond sweet despite her start in life. She is looking for a furever home who will shower her with kindness and love! ##1866223##

Story
Lilah is one of our longer residence with the rescue due to her high energy, zest for life and needing to be an only dog. This girl is ready for whatever life has to offer with her "can-do" attitude and willing to just go with the flow. She is quickly becoing one of our "Pit Crew" volunteer favorites during Pack Walks becasue shes willing to run, walk, stroll and sprint at whatever speed you choose. She has super soft hair and eyes that look deep into your soul.    Flight risk: do not leave unattended in a yard, can never be off-leash in an unfenced in area, crate training is a must when gone, and tight grip of the leash on adventures is a must. ##1342035##

Story
My journey began several years ago when I was running scared.  I covered a lot of ground, hopped some freeways, visited a university and jumped into a yard where someone ignored me until I could be caught.  I was scared and scarred.  My skin showed years of neglect with flea rash and irritation.  I was underweight and terrified of being touched or around people.  No one came for me at the shelter and I was doomed to death.  Once exited by my capture team, It did not take long before I realized my life had changed and people meant food, massage and toys.  I have spent the last FOUR years living in a kennel at the rescue facility.  I am not good with dogs but am now great with people, adventures outdoors, on leash AND house trained.  No longer a youngster, I am now a senior girl.  I would love nothing more than to find a place to enjoy the creature comforts in a foster or adoptive home rather than limited time with volunteers and at rescue outings.  Could that be you? Things to know about me - - I am the resident toy hoarder of the house. I patiently wait for all of the Nylabones to be hosed into my kennel during cleaning, so I can play with them all -food puzzle PRO! -don’t let the age fool you, this girl has energy for days! -walks well on leash, until a lizard or animal walks by then off to the races I go! Flight Risk: do not leave unattended in a yard, crate training is a must when you are gone, tight grip on the leash is a must on adventures.
