Are you looking for a loving and adorable puppy to join your pack? Meet Tia, a sweet and special girl who came to TRD through a fellow rescuer in Mexico. Tia is a pretty shepherd mix puppy. Her foster family reports that she is sweet and snuggly, and playful with her littermate, with whom she is currently being fostered. Tia would love to have a canine buddy in her future forever family! She is great with other dogs. She's also good with children, and is crate trained and has just about mastered her potty training. Tia will make a wonderful family dog. When we first rescued Tia, we noticed she was having trouble after mealtime holding down her food. Our vets discovered that she has megaesophagus (ME), a manageable but potentially serious condition if not addressed. Essentially, Tia's esophagus is stretched out so that it does not naturally move food down to her stomach. Our vet thinks it's probably a congenital condition. If left unaddressed, ME will cause Tia to regurgitate her food. (Go here for more information on ME: (https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/megaesophagus).) The good news is that the only "treatment" for ME is for Tia to eat upright and let gravity do the work. It does not impact her overall health or longevity. Thankfully, Tia has learned to use her homemade Bailey chair for meals and her wonderful foster family makes sure she takes her time and eats well, and upright. Other than that, Tia is a fun, healthy, typical puppy! She has a laid-back vibe and is a mild-mannered girl who will add a little fun to her new family. Tia is about 16 pounds at 4 months of age, and we think she will be a medium to large sized dog full grown, somewhere in the 50 to 60 pound range. If you are interested in meeting Tia, please fill out an adoption application on the TRD website and an adoption coordinator will be in touch. show less

Meet adorable Cinder Ella! This little cutie came to us from Mexicali, where she was taken off the streets as a puppy and is now being cared for in a loving foster home. Like a typical 4-month-old puppy, Cinder loves to run and play in the yard, wrestle with her canine foster sibling, and play with her toys. She is still getting used to walking on a leash (she does much better when she has another dog walking with her to help her feel more confident). Cinder is working on potty training. She has had some difficulty getting used to being in a crate, as she exhibits some separation anxiety, so she will need someone with experience to crate train her and create structure for her so she can be her most secure, confident self. She would do best in a home with another confident male dog, and someone with pit bull or dominant breed experience. At almost four months old she weighs about 15 pounds, and we are expecting her to be on the large side. If you are interested in meeting Cinder, please fill out an application on our website and an adoption coordinator will be in touch. show less
