Meet Teddy, a sweet, loving creature with the soul of a loyal dog and the body of a soft cotton ball. Teddy is a 2-year-old Maltese-Yorkie (possibly schnauzer) Mix. Teddy is full grown at about 14 pounds. Teddy has a strikingly adorable face with huge dove-shaped eyes and an always wagging tail to match. Fun fact about Teddy: he loves bath time! At two years of age, Teddy still has some silly antics left over from his puppyhood. He has lots of energy and enjoys playing in the backyard with his canine siblings. He is good with adults and dogs in his foster home. He also likes to go on leashed walks everyday. On walks, he has been leash reactive--he tends to barks at other dogs he sees on the walk. His foster family is working with the TRD trainer to teach him the right way to greet other dogs. Teddy's forever family will need to continue to train him until he loses his leash reactivity. According to his foster mom, Teddy is highly attentive and loving. After playtime he likes to curl up with his humans to unwind. He mastered crate training within a few weeks and now he goes into his crate at night without any command. He is also completely house trained. He is picking up basic commands like Sit, Stay and Down. Teddy can't wait to meet his forever family, someone who will love and cherish him and his silliness and most importantly, give him unlimited bath time! If you would like to meet Teddy, 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 sweet and sassy Sadie! She's a 1-year-old shar pei/golden mix puppy rescued by TRD from HSIOC in June 2018. Sadie is a big puppy weighing around 40 pounds and should be in the 50 pound range full grown. According to her foster mom, Sadie has a ton of personality. She is great with adults and dogs in her foster home. She loves to play with her foster brother and sister and take long walks around her neighborhood. Living with her canine foster siblings, she is learning how to respect other dogs and take turns with toys. Sadie is great at playing fetch (although like most puppies, she occasionally does not want to give the ball back). She loves snuggling with her foster family and will climb up on the couch to get them and watch TV. Sadie is smart as a whip and very treat motivated, which makes her an ideal candidate for training classes to stimulate and tire out her puppy brain. She has a lot of potential and will excel at agility training classes. An active family that can take her on daily walks and hikes will be a great fit for Sadie’s energy. Sadie can sit and is learning the stay command. In a few weeks in her foster home, Sadie has made strides of progress with house training and crate training. She is sometimes reactive on the leash--her foster family is teaching her good leash walking manners. Sadie has all the sweetness and mischief unique to big puppies--her foster mom says she's the easiest puppy. She is silly and will keep her forever family happy and entertained with her antics. If you would like to meet Sadie, 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

Melly is a spunky 5-year-old Boston terrier mix from the Humane Society of Imperial County. She is crate trained, potty trained, and very food motivated. Thus far, she has been responsive to training with food and verbal cues and corrections. At a compact 28 pounds, this high-energy girl is very athletic and likes to be working and moving. Her foster mom says she absolutely loves to play ball, and has a super impressive vertical jump. She will need adequate exercise with purpose; we can see her excelling at flyball or Frisbee activity. Melly is a dominant alpha female with other dogs and will need experienced dog owners who will be committed to training and being the pack leaders in the home. Melly has lived with another dog in one of her foster homes but we feel she would do best in a home without other dogs, as she prefers human companionship and working type play over dog play. Proper on-leash introductions and closely monitored interactions with other dogs will be needed because her high energy and dominant characteristics can become intense and overwhelm other dogs. Although Melly lives with 2 human foster siblings and is great with them, we do not recommend a home with small children due to her high energy. Melly is ridiculously affectionate, playful, friendly, and goofy and will have no problem settling right in when she finds her perfect home. If you’re a Boston lover or looking for an athletic, loveable dog, Melly might be your girl! To meet Melly, 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

Looking for someone to steal your heart? Meet Bandit, a 1.5-year-old Pomeranian who came to TRD when his owner could no longer care for him. One of our big-hearted foster families heard about his plight and welcomed Bandit into their home. Bandit is an easy-going guy who just loves being in the mix with his foster family. His foster family reports that he does not require too much attention or exercise, but it's hard not to shower this handsome dude with love and affection. Bandit likes hanging out with his canine foster siblings and can be playful at times with them, but overall just prefers hanging out on the couch and keeping an eye on what everyone in the household is up to. Bandit knows some basic commands, including sit, come, and name recall. He has been working on his leash walking (he seems to be inexperienced on leash) and is getting better all the time. He has almost mastered his house training. He will need a family who will clue in to his cues for when he needs to go. Bandit is crate trained and sleeps in his crate at night. Bandit is a really handsome example of his breed, and weighs in at a svelte 9 pounds. If you are interested in meeting Bandit, 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

Looking for an adoptable hot dog (emphasis on the "dog") this summer? If the answer is "Yes!", then Hershey, TRD's latest fugitive from the HSOIC, is the dog for you. Hershey is a 2-year-old teeny weenie. Hershey is full grown at 17 pounds, which makes him petite for a dachshund, and a great size for most living situations. Like his name, Hershey is a sweet-natured doggo with a shiny dark brown coat and soulful hazel eyes. He is extremely cuddly and playful. He loves to play and romp with his canine foster brother in their yard. He is also great with the kids and the cats in the foster home. His favorite toys are Kong, ball, rope and stuffed toys. Although playing is his favorite thing to do, Hershey easily settles down when its time to relax. Hershey is house and crate trained. He is learning to walk on the leash and has made strides of progress in just a few weeks. His foster family is also redirecting his occasional inappropriate chewing with positive reinforcement and teaching him some basic commands. Like most chiweenies, Hershey is a smart bowser and is already excelling at his training lessons. Hershey is the perfect fit for a family looking for a small dog with a easy going, fun personality. If you would like to meet Hershey, please fill out an adoption application and an adoption coordinator will be in touch to schedule a meet and greet. show less

Introducing Wilson, a 15 pound, 1-year-old pup who recently joined the TRD foster pack after taking the freedom ride from the Humane Society of Imperial County. Wilson is a Shih Tzu mix and has all the kooky idiosyncrasies you would only find in a typical Shih Tzu. Wilson has a relaxed, easy-going personality. He is friendly towards people and dogs. He loves to run around and wrestle with his canine foster brother. But in typical Shih Tzu fashion, his playtime is pretty limited--Wilson has more important matters to attend to, i.e., snuggling, napping and relaxing on his foster parent's tummy. He also likes to take strolls in the park or on the beach, as long as the strolls are short (as in very short). Running and hiking is for silly dogs; Wilson is more like the "stop and smell the roses" kind of doggo. When he gets tired, Wilson will sploot (laying down on his belly with all paws splayed outwards) to let you know he needs a break. Wilson is house and crate trained. His foster parents have noticed that he has a marking tendency (only outdoors) and they are working on correcting his behavior. He is naturally good on the leash. With his handsome face and sweet quirks, he is a total heart stealer every time he goes out with his foster family. Wilson is perfect dog for someone looking for a happy, easy-going dog who does not need much exercise. If you would like to meet Wilson, please fill out an adoption application and an adoption coordinator will be in touch to schedule a meet and greet. show less

Meet adoptable Lilly! Lilly is the sweetest little lady you'll ever meet. She was originally found as a stray out in Brawley and spent three weeks at the Humane Society of Imperial County before finding her foster family through The Rescued Dog. Lilly is a 4-year-old dachshund-pug mix who would rather spend all day in your lap or in her crate nestled in a warm blanket. Nothing is more important to her than her LOVE for humans. When she's not lounging, Lilly is usually at your feet ensuring that you aren't lonely in her presence. She also never fails to extend the warmest greeting each time you come home. Lilly is house broken, crate-trained, and very, very quiet. In fact, the loudest thing about Lilly is how she can snore like a human! Lilly is very lovable and an absolute joy to be around, but her stray days have taught her protective habits. She is protective over food and toys around other dogs. Therefore, Lilly would be best suited in a home where she is the only dog, or in a home with people who have experience with this type of behavior. Lilly also needs a family who will continue to train her to accept other dogs in her personal space. She's been practicing, and attended a recent TRD fundraiser with other dogs. Overall, Lilly is extremely easygoing and is the perfect lap dog if you're looking for a low energy companion. If you think Lilly would be the perfect addition in your family, please fill out an adoption application on our website and an adoption coordinator will be in touch to schedule a meet and greet. show less

Meet Parker, an adorable lowriding gentleman who came to TRD from the Humane Society of Imperial County. When we first met Parker, his front left leg was in a cast because of an apparent fracture. When we brought Parker into our own vet, she discovered that Parker's fracture was open, and the resulting wound was infected. You would never have known that Parker was in pain--he has never been anything but cheerful and loving for as long as we've known him. Parker is now officially on the mend, and ready for his forever home. With his adorably big noggin and his silly short legs, Parker turns heads wherever he goes and loves the attention. He's a real lover boy with his human friends, including kids, and he loves other dogs too. Parker even has a little love affair going with a kitty who lives at the vet's office. He's just an all-around easy-going, affable dude. If you're looking for a laid-back buddy to join you at the park, on a restaurant patio, or on the couch, Parker is your guy. Parker is about 4 years old, and weighs in at a svelte 40 pounds, 20 of which we are pretty sure is his head. If you'd like to meet Parker, 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 Jack, a 1.5-year-old Spaniel Mix who took the freedom ride with TRD from the Humane Society of Imperial County to sunny San Diego. Jack is full grown at 15 pounds and with his charming personality and luscious shiny black coat, this dog is quite the looker. Jack is cheerful, playful, and energetic. Within a few weeks in his foster home, Jack has bonded well with his foster family. He is doing a good job settling in and adapting to his new surroundings. He loves to play with his foster parents and is great with dogs. He enjoys playing with stuffed toys. He also likes to go on leashed walks everyday and has been good on the leash. He has been somewhat reactive to dogs but with redirection he is learning to react like a well trained doggo. Jack is great at learning new tricks--he is food-motivated, which should make him an excellent dog for training exercises. His foster mom has also noticed that he is very agile and might enjoy agility training oriented classes to challenge his spaniel brain and burn off his boundless energy. Jack is crate and house trained. He has learned to sleep in the crate by myself all night. Given his rough start to life, Jack is sometimes intimidated in new spaces and needs some time to get comfortable. His foster family is training him to relax in unfamiliar surroundings. Jack still has a little puppy spirit left in him and has been mouthy occassionally when he needs attention, but with proper redirection, he stops nibbling. If you are looking for a petite dog with the exhuberance and energy of a 70-pound lab, Jack is the dog you need. If you would like to meet Jack, 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

Are you looking to adopt a playful, energetic puppy who will smother you with her unlimited puppy love? Meet Lacey, a 7-month-old Labrador/Pit Mix puppy who came to TRD when a good Samaritan rescued her from the side of the road in Mexico. Lacey's life took a pretty bumpy takeoff--she started her life as a stray and grew up in a rough environment. When she came to TRD, she had been hit by a car and left for dead, but our good Samaritan friend rescued her and got her vet care in Mexico before we agreed to take her on and continue to nurse her back to health. Lacey has had a long road to recovery, but we are happy to report that she is now happy and healthy and ready for her new forever family. Amazingly, nothing Lacey encountered in her early days has diminished her light and her joyous spirit. Lacey is an active, energetic and playful puppy. She loves to play with other dogs in her foster home all day long. Although she needs slow introductions with new dogs, give her a few minutes to sniff out the situation and she is ready to bring out her crazy puppy personality to the party. She would be a great fit in a home with other dogs. She still gets overwhelmed when she is introduced to many dogs at once, but with time and appropriate training, Lacey has the potential to be a calm and confident dog. What is Lacey's favorite toy you ask? How about all of them? She enjoys playing with chews, Kong, stuffed toys, and balls. If it looks like a toy, smells like a toy--it belongs to Lacey. She has on occasion chewed on non-toy items, but responds well to re-direction. Probably from her experiences before she was rescued by TRD, Lacey takes a while to warm up to new people. She is shy and timid at first. But once she is comfortable with you, she is very sweet and loving. Lacey's foster mom has worked on her social skills and her forever family will want to continue to work with her. (Each TRD adoption comes with a complementary session with a trainer.) Lacey is house and crate trained. She currently weighs about 35 pounds and is expected to be in a 40-50 pound range full-grown. If you would like to meet Lacey, 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
