Meet Jas (pronounced Jazz), an adorable spaniel mix puppy who is looking for a forever family who will show him the ways of the world. He's a sweet little guy with a lot of potential! At about 6 months old as of March 2017, Jas is just now getting socialized with new people and other dogs. Jas will need slow introductions to both new people and new dogs. Once he feels comfortable with people, he can be very snuggly. He also seems to gain confidence when he is with confident dogs, and we think it would be best to place Jas in a home with a confident dog who can show him the ropes. According to his foster family, Jas is a smart puppy who learns fast. Training this guy will be fun and easy! He is working on his leash training, and he is already crate trained and house trained. He can be very playful but he knows how to calm down and enjoy some snuggle time with his people. Jas weighs about 14 pounds and we think he will top out in the 25 to 30 pound range full grown. If you would like meet Jas, please fill out an application on the TRD website and an adoption coordinator will be in touch to schedule a meet and greet. show less

Darby and her adorable siblings Buttercup and Mango came to TRD from the Humane Society of Imperial County. These adorable puppies are shepherd-mountain dog mixes who are 4 months old as of March 2017. These pups are 20 pounds and growing! We aren't sure exactly how big they will be full grown, but they will be big! It's possible they will be in the 65 to 80 pound range as adults. Darby is a little more slender and leggy than her siblings. She has a sweet face and maintains great eye contact when she interacts with humans. At times she is affectionate and will lay right next to you or lay in your lap, while other times she can be rambunctious and playful. Her play style is pretty rough and tumble, and she can be dominant with her siblings. According to her foster mom, she's the tomb boy of the sisters. This girl is smart, and has already figured out crate training. She is working on her house training and walking on a leash. If you would like a fun and spunky girl to keep you smiling and on your toes, fill out an application on the TRD website to meet Darby! show less

Are you looking for a fun-loving pug mix to light up your life? Meet Freya! Freya is a fun and sporty girl looking for a forever family who will keep her active. She has a fun-loving personality complimented by a ridiculously cute under-bite and crooked tail. According to her foster family, Freya currently walks 3 to 4 times per day around the neighborhood with her canine foster brother. She walks well on the leash but she is a "stop and smell the roses" kind of girl, so she is sometimes easily distracted. Freya loves to explore the trails or beach and rides very well in the car when headed out on a new adventure. Typical of a pug, Freya is very interested in food, and she may have a tendency to gain weight easily so regular exercise will be important. Once the action is over, get ready for some snuggles! Freya is quite the love bug. She adores people and wiggles her entire body to greet old and new friends, making her a great family companion. Freya is good with dogs but prefers the company of dogs of like size or smaller. She is a solid 24 pounds but don't let that fool you ... she has the mind of lap dog and will quickly crawl up next to you for cuddles. She does sleep through the night in her crate but her foster family reports that she is quick to crawl into bed and claim your pillow when allowed. Freya is crate trained and house trained, and at 1 year old as of March 2017, she is the perfect age to start her new life with her forever family. If you would like to meet Freya, please fill out an application on the TRD website and an adoption coordinator will be in touch to schedule a meet and greet. show less

Meet Brownie, an adorable chihuahua who is looking for her forever family. Brownie originally caught the eye of one of TRD's fellow rescuers, and she has been living with other rescued dogs while she awaits her new forever home. Brownie was overweight when she was rescued originally, weighing in at around 20 pounds. She has been watching what she eats and has slimmed down a bit. Her new family will want to make sure she's on the right track with her diet and exercise. That shouldn't be too hard, as Brownie loves a good walk. Brownie is playful with other dogs, and she is smart and sweet. She will be fun to train. Brownie can be shy at first when meeting new people and dogs, but she warms up quickly and her social demeanor shines through. She also has lovely manners in the house and is house trained. Brownie is around 4 years old as of December 2016, which is a great age to start life with her new family. She is over all the puppy stuff but still has many years of life and love to share. If you would like to meet Brownie, please fill out an adoption application on the TRD website and an adoption coordinator will be in touch to schedule a meet and greet. show less

Betty had been with a family whose toddler wasn't being nice to her. A fellow rescuer spotted her and stepped in to save Betty from this unfortunate situation. Betty is fun and young at heart, and at approximately 7 years old as of February 2017, she still has a ton of life and love to share with her new forever family. Betty is a fun, smart little dog who knows several commands, including sit, come, shake, high-five, and roll over. Betty loves a good walk, and also loves playing with her canine foster siblings. She also gets along great with the felines and the children in the household. According to her foster mom, Betty is is always happy and smiling. She likes to cuddle, and will wiggle in underneath your arm if she feels you could pay more attention to her. Even though she is a little older than her foster brothers and sisters she has the most energy of all, and would do well with a family that is somewhat active. Betty is house trained and crate trained. She weighs in at around 16 pounds, which is a great size for most living situations.

Meet Calvin, and sweet and handsome schnauzer-poodle mix who came to TRD from the Humane Society of Imperial County. Calvin is a loving, cuddly guy who loves to be around his people. Calvin also loves meeting other dogs when he is out on his walks. He sometimes pulls on the leash (we are working on that!) to get a chance to say hi. Calvin would do well as a second dog, although currently he is the only dog in his foster home and does well as long as he gets snuggle time with his people. Calvin is fully house trained and likes his crate. He seems to have an adventurous side, and has enjoyed his trips to the beach! He will be a fun guy to bring to the park or to dog-friendly restaurants. When Calvin first came to us he didn't show any interest in toys, but he his figuring out how to be a dog, and now plays with his stuffed animals. According to his foster family, he has never gotten into trouble chewing on things he shouldn't, and he loves the blow dryer!

Lovable Luna came to TRD from the Chula Vista Animal Care Facility. She had been abandoned there as a puppy of about 6 weeks. CHACF wanted to make sure she was properly taken care of and had her best shot at a great home so reached out to the local rescue community. One look at her silly ears and her unique coat, and we knew she was one of ours! Luna has been assessed by our vets at San Carlos Animal Hospital and has a clean bill of health. Luna is about 9 weeks old as of the end of January 2017, and has already shown that she is resilient and smart. As she grows into her puppy paws, she is emerging as active and energetic. Her foster mom also reports that she is sweet. loving, and playful. Luna has started socializing with dogs and people and seems to get along with everyone. (She hasn't met a cat yet!) She has the look of a shiba inu and the coloring of a German shepherd dog. If that is her mix, we predict (just a guess!) that she will be somewhere in the 40-60 pound range full grown. The fun part of adopting a rescue puppy is that you just never know! She is working on her house training and crate training. If you'd like to add this adorable girl to your pack, please fill out an application on the TRD website and an adoption coordinator will be in touch to schedule a meet and greet. show less

Lucky's story does not have the most fortunate start, but we are going to make sure he lives up to his name with his new forever family! Lucky was hit by a car in the LA area. A good Samaritan brought him to a local pet ER, and from there we were contacted to see if we could care for and place Lucky. One look at this little cutie and of course the answer was yes! Thankfully, other than being shook up, Lucky did not suffer any injuries. When we first took Lucky in, it became evident that he had been an outside dog. His fur was matted, he had fleas, he didn't know how to behave in a house, and he was unsure of new people. His foster family has been working diligently to socialize him with their pack (both people and dogs.) It takes Lucky a day or two to trust new people, but he quickly becomes a faithful companion. His foster family reports that once he gets comfortable, he wants to be a lap dog. Lucky LOVES food, and begs for it any chance he can. Lucky does well with other dogs, although he does not yet understand how to play with other dogs, or dog toys. This cute little guy weighs in at about 12 pounds and we estimate that he is about 2 years old. If you would like to give Lucky the happy ending he deserves, please fill out an adoption application on the TRD website and an adoption coordinator will be in touch to schedule a meet and greet. show less

BamBam is a sweet and sociable chihuahua puppy looking for his forever home. BamBam loves to play with his canine companions. He is also a big fan of couch time with his human friends and is a champion snuggler. BamBam seems to understand at an early age when it's time to play and when it's time to chill out. BamBam is working on his basic commands like sit, down, come, and stay. He is also doing well with his potty training. He still has accidents from time to time, but at 5 months old as of December 2016, that is to be expected. He's trying, and he's almost there! BamBam weighs in at a whopping 3.5 pounds, and we believe he will top out at around 10 pounds when he is full grown. If you are looking for a sweet, smart buddy to round out your pack, please fill out an application on the TRD website to meet BamBam! show less

Craig is about 60 pounds as of December 2016, and we don't think he will grow much more, although he may fill out a little. Craig is crate trained and has just about mastered his house training.

Looking for an awesome wingman? Meet Maverick! Maverick is a playful little corgi-spaniel mix who came to TRD from the Humane Society of Imperial County. This little bundle of fun is ready for any adventure. He is friendly with new people and likes to meet new dogs. He is also toy oriented, and can entertain himself chewing on bones or playing with his toys. He really loves interactive play with his people though.

Sweet Mousey is a great example of amazing, resilient puppy spirit. Mousey was dumped in a box on the doorstep of one of our fellow rescuers. She had a grossly infected eye and clearly had been neglected. Mousey was emaciated and had some issues with her skin. Our rescuer friend rushed Mousey to her local vet, and it was determined that the infected eye needed to be removed. With Mousey around 2 pounds, 4 months old (as of January 2016), and malnourished, surgery was a risky proposition for this pint-sized sweetie. Thankfully Mousey pulled through the surgery, and we are happy to report that she has made a full recovery. Mousey has bounced back, and has proven to be the happiest puppy you'd ever want to meet. Mousey's foster mom reports that she is an excellent cuddler. Mousey also loves romping around in the yard with her canine foster siblings, then taking a break to do a little sunbathing. Mousey enjoys car rides and is ready to be a go-anywhere kind of girl. Mousey's foster mom also reports that she is as quiet as a mouse, and the only time she makes a fuss is when she needs to go out to go potty. Mousey is a really smart little girl and she will be fun and easy to train. We think she will stay pretty petite, maybe growing into the 6 to 10 pound range as an adult. If you would like to give Mousey the happy ending she deserves, please fill out an application on the TRD website and an adoption coordinator will be in touch to schedule a meet-up! show less

Meet Tiny, a totally adorable Shih Tzu-chihuahua mix looking for her forever family. What Tiny lacks in stature she makes up for with her huge personality. Tiny loves to play with other puppies her size. She also enjoys running around in the yard and then settling down for a little sunbathing. When outside time is done, Tiny loves to snuggle with her human friends, and has been known to fall asleep on her people's chests or necks. Her cuddling style is adorable and irresistible. Tiny was born on 8/2/2016, and at 5 months old, Tiny weighs a micro 3 lbs. We think she may top out at around 7 pounds. She will be a very small adult dog! Adopters will need to take her diminutive size into consideration when deciding whether Tiny is the right canine companion for them. Tiny is also a little fearful of this great big world and does much better when she's in the companionship of a confident dog. She currently does best when she's with her buddy BamBam (also available for adoption from TRD). We would like to place Tiny with a family that either would adopt Tiny and BamBam together or has an existing canine family member who would boost Tiny's confidence. Tiny is still working on potty training, basic commands, and recall. Given her size and age, Tiny is kept in a puppy playpen instead of a crate. If you would like to meet Tiny, please fill out an application on the TRD website and an adoption coordinator will be in touch to schedule a meet and greet. show less

Sweet Daisy, a basset hound mix, came to TRD from the Humane Society of Imperial County as an owner surrender. She was a 24/7 yard dog and found herself (probably bored) continually escaping. The family decided they no longer wanted to pay the impound fees and left her at the shelter. Shortly after Daisy was placed her foster home, we discovered she had heartworm disease! We would like to think she kept escaping knowing she could find the love and care she deserved and needed. Daisy was put on crate rest and spent about 4 months undergoing intense treatments which unfortunately included strict rest for the entire time. Daisy now has a clean bill of health and is ready to find her perfect forever home. Daisy loves getting belly rubs and being close to her humans. At approximately 3-4 years old Daisy has a medium energy level and loves a good run at Fiesta Island- she is low and fast! She's a compact 30 lbs of love. We are recommending a house without cats for Daisy but would love to see her in a house with a canine companion. Daisy was never provided the opportunity to socialize with her fellow canines (besides the one she lived with in the backyard all her life) so she can be reserved when meeting new dogs and will need someone willing to be patient with her to help continue to build her confidence and social skills. There are plenty of dogs Daisy has met and loved and she'll run, play and chase with the best of them! Daisy currently lives with another dog and two kids in her foster home and really enjoys their active lifestyle. She's always ready for a walk, car ride or any outing; wanting to be a full member of the family now. Daisy's foster family says she's a perfect house dog when her people are out and is fully potty trained. If you would like to make Daisy a part of your family, please fill out an application to meet her! http://therescueddog.org/2015/dog-adoption-application/ Adult, Female, Medium show less
