When we pulled Rockie from the San Bernardino County shelter, he had a mass the size of a softball growing under his chin. We weren't sure what it was, and it didn't look good, but we knew we had to take a chance on this handsome guy. We were told that he had either an infected or blocked salivary gland and that surgery may be necessary. Thankfully, it has turned out that a strong dose of antibiotics has shrunk the mass down from a softball to golfball, and it looks like Rockie will be making a full recovery without surgical intervention. We suspect that once the mass started growing, his former owners were intimidated by the potential care Rockie would require and so they relinquished him to the shelter. It is too bad, because clearly they put some time and effort into training Rockie. He is solid on his sit, down, and stay commands, and he appears to be completely potty trained. He is also loving and affectionate, and very people oriented. Rockie is a purebred boxer, and is about as good looking as they come. We estimate that he will be 55 to 65 pounds full grown. At 6 months old as of mid-May, he weighs in at 35 pounds. Rockie has a nice mellow demeanor, which is somewhat surprising for a puppy, especially a boxer puppy. We're not complaining! This mellow guy is on his way to having a great, easy-going demeanor as an adult. With basic training already under his belt, Rockie is going to fit in easily in almost any living situation. Are you looking for a handsome, well-behaved pup to join your family? Fill out an application at http://therescueddog.org/available-dogs/dog-adoption-application/ to meet Rockie! show less

She is a bit on the short side, and needs help getting on the couch and into the car. This little princess is crate trained, walks well on a leash, and is potty trained. CeeCee is up to date on shots, spayed, and is microchipped.

The first thing anyone notices about our adorable guy Pedro is his ridiculously cute ears, one flopped over and one pointing due west. Between his ridiculous ears, his handsome brindle coat, and his adorable, huggable size, Pedro is pretty much irresistible. This sweet guy has had a rough start, and is looking for someone to build up his confidence in himself and the world around him. Pedro was found in a vacant lot with two other scared doxie mixes. The other two were rescued by another organization, and The Rescued Dog got Pedro. Pedro is shy to start, but he warms up to his humans and is currently in a foster home with several other dogs of all shapes and sizes. Pedro is about 8 months old as of June 2014, and weighs in at around 12 pounds. He will probably grow a little more (but not much) before he is an adult. Pedro is crate trained. Pedro is looking for a patient person who will encourage him to be brave and have some fun! If you think you are right for Pedro, please fill out an application at http://therescueddog.org/available-dogs/dog-adoption-application/ to set up a time to meet Pedro! show less

Avanti is a stunning, 1 year old Aussie/Border Collie mix with the sweetest, gentlest disposition! She loves people of all ages and sizes and gets along wonderfully with every dog she meets. She's an active partner too, with a little less energy than is typical for her breed mix but plenty of spunk to keep up as a running partner or hiking buddy. She's currently working on house training, crate training and basic obedience. This food-motivated sweetheart is a quick study too, it only took her a few tries to learn sit and she has a fairly reliable recall after only a week in her foster home! Her foster parents report that she's a delight in the house, quickly settling down with a chew toy or on a bed for a nap and rarely attempts to chew on inappropriate items. Avanti would love to be your go-everywhere meet-everyone companion! show less

Ranger's story is a little unbelievable: he was left in the backyard of a house in San Bernardino that was burning down. After he was rescued, efforts were made to contact his family but they did not respond. He was brought into San Bernardino's Devore shelter and put up for adoption. Once the TRD crew caught sight of this handsome guy, we knew he was one of ours and we snatched him up! Ranger is 10 months old as of mid-May and weighs about 35 pounds. He may put on a few more pounds before he is fully grown. Ranger displays all of the great qualities of Australian cattle dogs. He is intelligent, energetic, and responsive to humans. He is currently in a foster home with 2 other dogs, including another cattle dog, and he is very social with them. He also loves his human fosters, and has proven to be snuggly and affectionate with his people. Ranger is also house trained and crate trained. As a young dog and as a cattle dog in particular, Ranger will thrive with someone who will focus on his training and and give him plenty of exercise. He would excel at agility, and would love that kind of challenge. The Rescued Dog would prefer to adopt Ranger out to someone with experience with the Australian cattle dog breed, but we will definitely consider an adopter who has an active lifestyle that matches Ranger's needs even if you are new to the breed. For more information on Australian cattle dogs in general, please visit: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/australiancattledog.htm If you are looking for a fun and active friend to join you on walks, runs, hikes, and any other athletic activity you have in mind, please fill out an application to meet Ranger: show less

Our sweet baby Blanca is a beautiful white shepherd mix. As you can see from her photos, she has a goofy, fun-loving personality and a lot of spunk! Blanca's foster family reports that she is very smart, and has picked up both crate training and potty training very quickly. She also has enjoyed learning her basic commands and would love learning new commands. Blanca currently lives with a 3-year-old male basset/pit mix, and they get along great. She has more puppy energy than her foster brother, but she seems to do a good job of respecting his boundaries and winding down when he's had enough. At about 6 months old as of mid-May, Blanca is at a great age for her new family to bond with her and show her the ropes. She will take really well to training, and will be a lot of fun to work with. And, of course, she will make a great companion. Blanca is sweet and affectionate and thrives on human companionship. Blanca currently weighs about 30 pounds and given her petite frame, we expect her to be in the 50-60 pound range when she is full grown. Are you looking for a fun and friendly girl to join you on walks, hikes, and other fun adventures?

Hi, my name is Brandy! I am adorable little puppy and am approximately 10 weeks old. I was found as a stray at 5 weeks with a horrible eye infection. It turns out I had a foxtail in my eye socket - OUCH! Through the help of my vets and wonderful foster mommy, I have made a full recovery! The best news of all is that I have regained full eyesight! I am a very well behaved puppy. I currently live in a foster family with children and two dogs, and get along great with everyone. I love to play with dogs of all sizes and ages! I am crate trained, but prefer to sleep in the bedroom at night with my foster parents. My foster mom says I also use potty pads and whine at the door when I need to go out. I am well on the way to being potty trained! I'm not sure what breed I am, but everyone keeps suggesting labrador retriever, shepherd, and rottweiler. Your guess is as good as mine! No matter what I am, I sure am cute! I will likely be around 40-50lbs when full grown. Will you adopt me? I'm looking forward to having a family all of my own! show less

Looking for a little snuggle-bug? Dotty is your girl! Our vet believes this one year old girl is a yorkie/dachshund mix, but we think Dotty could have some silky terrier in her too. No matter what she is, one thing we know for sure is that Dotty is adorable! Dotty loves the company of other dogs, and she would do best in a home with another dog or with someone that works from home. She loves playing with her foster siblings - both big and small. Dotty is very friendly with people and loves to give kisses. Her foster mom says that Dotty loves to cuddle at night. We think Dotty is perfect!

Brains, beauty, and personality to boot! Azuki has it all! This tall, lanky girl is absolutely incredible - her foster mom reports she has not had one accident in the house since she arrived, her personality is coming out more and more everyday, and she's learning her basic commands. She's just about 55lbs right now, but should be about 60-63lbs once she's filled out. Azuki was pretty scared of the outside world at first, but a few days in her foster home has proven invaluable. She plays with the two other dogs in the house beautifully and has started coming up to her human fosters for attention. Azuki is such a gentle soul and wants nothing more than to please her human. She can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but she warms up quickly and her happy tail wags prove she's just elated to be out of the shelter! Because she is housetrained, crate trained, and overall a very quiet pooch, Azuki will make an excellent companion to just about anyone! She turns heads everywhere she goes with her gorgeous light brindle coat and dark black eyeliner - she's definitely a show stopper :) If you'd like to meet Azuki to see just how amazing she truly is, please fill out an Adoption Application today at http://therescueddog.org/available-dogs/dog-adoption-application/. show less

Cadence is ready to steal your heart! This petite beauty was rescued from San Bernardino with minutes to spare. She came in to San Bernardino as a stray and it is unbelievable to us that anyone would let this sweetie go. Cadence gets along well with dogs of all shapes and sizes, adores her family, and is ofter found cuddling with her foster brother - a 70lb boxer. She's a little slow to warm up to strangers, but within a couple minutes she feels comfortable in their presence and becomes affectionate with them. Cadence has bonded strongly with her foster family and is very loyal to them. Cadence is sporty but not high energy, which means she's ready to join you for a walk, run, or hike, but also ready for a good snuggle on the couch. Cadence is about 3 years old and is currently 29 pounds, and will likely gain another pound or two while in our care. It appears Cadence has had quite a few litters in her short life, but we promised her she would never have to go through that again and she is now happily spayed. She is a great size for almost any living situation and her calm demeanor would make her ideal for first time adopters, someone looking for a second dog, or anyone who would appreciate a mellow and beautiful family dog. Cadence is very petite for a husky and is likely a Alaskan Klee Kai mix, or she is just a teeny-tiny husky!

Ramen is just an awesome little dude! At about 20lbs and 3 years old, this guy has a spunky personality in a great petite size. He's out of the puppy stage of life but still has a lot of play left in him - he plays well with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Ramen is confident in new surroundings and is quick to make friends everywhere he goes. He's crate trained and is perfectly happy to be in his crate with a kong or bone when left alone. He's currently working on housetraining and basic commands - he knows sit and is very food motivated so training will be a breeze! As with the Basenji breed, he can be stubborn at times, but he's easy to correct making him a fantastic student! With his cute curly tail, black eyeliner, and freckles on his nose, what's not to love?!

Looking for the perfect pooch? Jake is your boy! Jake is an adorable 1 year old boxer/beagle mix, with an underbite that will melt your heart. Once Jake settled into his foster home, it was clear that this boy once had a home: house trained, crate trained, and has wonderful house manners. Without a collar or microchip, there was no way to find his owners. Once his time at the shelter was up, The Rescued Dog knew we had to save this precious pup. Not only does Jake have great house manners, he also walks well on leash and is good with other dogs. His foster parents say he is a "wonderful little dog with a wonderful personality." At approximately 30 pounds with a medium level of energy, Jake would make the perfect companion for just about any home!

Stella Blue is about 2 years old and is currently 28 pounds, although she should probably be closer to 35 pounds.

As soon as we saw Davie at the shelter, we knew he was a special little boy. Davie's foster mom recently took him to visit her mom, who has Alzheimer's and is losing her vision - Davie was immediately drawn to her and refused to leave her side. Dogs have a powerful sense of knowing those that need help the most, and Davie has demonstrated this. His foster mom says he is very precious and has a calm nature about him. When the other doggie-foster siblings are running around, Davie would prefer to sit and snuggle with his foster mom. Davie will make a perfect companion for someone that wants a relaxed little dude!

Moses is a gorgeous, red merle 6 month old lab/staffordshire mix, with a couple of other breeds mixed in as well. Moses was saved from a high kill shelter when he was just a 4 month old puppy, after his owners surrendered him. We really can't understand why anyone would give up such a handsome, well behaved puppy with a rock solid temperament. Moses walks well on leash, is house and crate trained, and lives with a large female pit bull and four small dachshunds. Moses plays well with everybody and is great at cuddling. In a past life Moses must have been a lap dog. Currently Moses weighs 38lbs and should top out no bigger than 55lbs. With his long, lanky legs, this boy would make an excellent running partner. If you are looking for a young pup to take on many adventures, Moses is the dog for you!

Our handsome gentleman Geno was taken in by animal control in San Bernardino as part of a hoarding case. The Rescued Dog saw Geno's potential under his awful assortment of dreadlocks, fleas, and dirt, and stepped in to rescue him and bring him to San Diego. It is hard to believe that Geno had such a rough start because he is so sweet and even keeled. Initially he stayed with a temporary foster who has 3 large dogs, and Geno loved the company. Geno is currently with a foster home that includes a canine buddy closer to his size as well as cat, and he gets along swimmingly with them both. Geno is also a lover of his people, and his foster parents report that he is affectionate and easy-going. Unfortunately for Geno, a short time after settling into his foster home, he broke his leg running down the stairs. A lifetime of poor nutrition and little exercise had left him weak. Geno's broken bone was surgically repaired, and he has been on a healthy diet since being under TRD's care. His bone has healed completely, and he is starting to get the exercise he needs to bound around like he wants to! As long as Geno gets the nutrition and exercise he needs, he will suffer no long-term effects from his injury. Geno is really a gem of a dog. Smart, sweet, affectionate, and easy-going, Geno is ready for his forever home. He is potty-trained, crate-trained, and knows basic commands. Geno is one year old and weighs in at around 12-15 pounds. If you think Geno could be for you, please fill out our application (http://therescueddog.org/adopt/adoption-application/). show less

We never know what a dog will be like when we rescue them from the shelter. Our Rosie is a great example of a diamond in the rough. She was terrified and very sick, and it took 45 minutes for her foster mom to coax her out of the car that first night. Fast forward two weeks later: after settling into her foster home and finishing a course of antibiotics, Rosie has proven to be a dream dog. She is a sweet as can be! Loves humans (especially men!), playful with other dogs, submissive, gentle, patient and simply happy to be alive. In fact, Rosie is a favorite at the vet and our core volunteers have been fighting over her! She is food motivated and responds quickly to training cues. Rosie originally got her name because she reminded us of a dog named Red, but we think it suits her well because she seems to look at the world through rose-colored glasses. Rosie wins over everyone she meets and we think the family who scores this awesome dog will truly hit the jackpot! If you think Rosie could be a great match for your family, please fill out an application at http://therescueddog.org/adopt/adoption-application/ show less

Dudley was found on the streets of Mexico as a young pup, hairless and emaciated. His Mexico rescuers nursed him back to health and wanted him to find a great home in California. With his shiny, soft poodle coat, it's hard to believe the physical condition Dudley was in just months prior. Despite his rough start, this 6 month old boy is ready for a new life in America. Dudley has a gorgeous wavy poodle coat, long legs, and a muzzle similar to a labrador retriever, which makes us think Dudley is a labradoodle! He is approximately 25lbs and should be 40-50lbs when full grown. This bouncy young puppy is working on his potty training and basic obedience, plays well with other dogs of all sizes, and is good with cats. Dudley loves to chase after tennis balls and pounces on them and other toys when playing. This spunky puppy is ready for any adventure. We think Dudley would be the perfect addition to any family.

Itty Bitty is a fun and frisky French bulldog/chihuahua mix looking for an active and loving home. Itty Bitty is currently in a foster home, where his foster family refers to him as "Tod"; (The Other Dog).

A firm and loving hand will help Itty Bitty to come into his own. Itty Bitty is very tuned into his human family and friends and is fond of adults and kids alike. Itty Bitty is about 9 months old, which is a great age to start with basic training and canine-human bonding in general. And at 18 pounds, Itty Bitty is a great size for almost any living situation.

Meet Mochi! This little bundle of love is so compact (just about 20lbs) and petite that her whole body vibrates when she gets excited. It's so fun to watch her little half-tail shake with happiness when she's playing or getting attention. Mochi absolutely LOVES people - this little gal is anything but shy! She gets along great with other dogs as well. She walks well on a leash and learns commands VERY quickly - she learned "sit" and "down" in less than 24 hours at her foster home! Mochi is very smart and clearly understands the humans are in charge. She was let off-leash during her first Fiesta Island trip and was perfect! Greeted dogs and humans with a happy wiggle, checked in with her foster parents, and never strayed from the pack. At just under a year old, Mochi has a lot to learn from this big wide world and she'd love to learn everything in her very own forever home. Are you the family she's been waiting for?

Are you looking for a handsome, fun-loving guy to add to your pack? Meet Porter, our ridiculously cute English bulldog mix. Porter was pulled from the San Bernardino County shelter on the day he was set to be euthanized. One look at his adorable mug shot and TRD knew he was for us! Porter is just around one year old and is that funny age where he's not quite a puppy anymore but also not quite an adult. He is very calm for his age, and by all indications will be a mellow, easy-going adult, but he does occasionally engage in puppy-like antics, which are both endearing and amusing. Porter is currently in a foster home with 3 other dogs, and he gets along with everyone well. He also has never met a person he doesn't like, and he seems to be especially fond of children. He would be a great dog for a family with kids and for adopters with existing pets. He would also do well as a single dog, as long as he gets lots of park time and walks around the neighborhood. He is a very social guy! We are not sure how he feels about cats, but our encounters with them on walks indicates that he may actually be afraid of them! Cat introductions would be required for a family with cats. Porter is completely housebroken and loves his crate. Porter also loves going to the park and the beach to socialize with his doggy friends. Once he gets a little exercise, Porter is ready to sack out on the couch and snuggle with his humans. He is a great sturdy size at about 50 pounds. His handsome dark brindle markings turn heads wherever he goes. Are you looking for a goofy, social companion who will make you laugh and love you forever? Contact us so you can meet Porter!
