Story
Bruce is a smart and playful 6 yo boy who loves his giggle ball and food! He is crate trained and loves walks and car rides. He is loyal and listens and never been allowed on furniture but does love his bed. He is a big fruit and veggie eater! Carrots and blueberries are his favorite. He would thrive in a loving home where he is the only dog but he is always excited for any adventure that involves traveling, hiking or car rides. He likes to play fetch, frisbee and tug but it takes him a minute to give the toy back. Any toy that makes noise or squeaks he goes crazy for. He is a good boy that needs a dog lover to make him feel special.

Story
Maya is a very sweet Pit mix that loves to cuddle with her humans. She will find a way to be near you, snuggle you or just rest her head upon you. She has a soft snore and gets the zoomies with an e-brake vibe that is hilarious! Maya is a little over 1 years old and weighs in at 56 lbs. She is playful, but would do best in a home with a male dog or no other dog. Maya loves her chew toys and will confiscate a shoe if it is left behind. She does not need to be crated while you are gone, but will reluctantly go in one if need be. Maya is house trained, non-destructive, learning her leash manners and easily trainable with a beeper. Maya's adoption fee is $300 and includes spay, microchip, and current vaccinations.

How this pet arrived: Holly was brought in by Humane Law Enforcement on November 29, 2023. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Holly, a delightful pup who is looking for her new home! This sweet girl's friendly demeanor and contagious tail wags stole our hearts from the start. Holly has a LOT of energy and sometimes that can come out through jumps and overexcitement. Thankfully, this smartypants responds well to guidance and support! Food puzzles, kong toys, and other activities to keep her mind activated as well as her body are a great place to start! She is also crate trained, house trained and has some pretty great house manners according to her previous foster! Due to her excitable nature, she would do best in a home without other pets and with children over the age of 8. Make sure to bring the whole family along to meet Holly - she is ready to fill your home with tail wags and happiness. Come meet this charming pup! Don't forget to bring a leash and collar!

How this pet arrived: Tinker was brought in by a community member on November 28, 2023. Why this pet is the one for you:Allow us to introduce you to Tinker! This sweetheart of a pup is ready to fill your life with all of the wags and walks and wonderful memories you could ask for. Tinker is wonderful on leash and would love to be your walking buddy, preferably in quieter areas where there aren't too many other dogs, as this will help her stay more relaxed. She also loves playing fetch and romping around the yard, but don't worry - this darling doggy also has a very mellow side, and loves her rest and relaxation. She also appears to be house trained and knows a couple of tricks, like "sit" and "shake." While Tinker enjoys the company of others, gradual introductions and a gentle approach will go a long way with her and allow her build confidence and form strong bonds. Once she gets to know you, she loves to be pet and will even do a little happy dance when you give her back scratches! Tinker has some manageable medical needs that we will be happy to discuss with you so that you can help her be her healthiest, happiest self! So what do you say? Are you ready to fill that Tinker-size hole in your heart? Visit our Oceanside Campus to say hello to Tinker today! Don't forget to bring a leash and collar!
