Playful Kona came to us from the Humane Society of Imperial County, where he was brought in as a stray with his brother. Our best guess at his breed is a husky/bull terrier mix. He is about 5 months old as of April 2017 and currently weighs close to 30 pounds. We expect he will get to be about 50-60 pounds when he is full-grown. He is highly energetic; his foster mom takes him on two vigorous walks a day, and he enjoys playing with the other dogs in the house throughout the day. His foster family describes him as loving, sweet, and affectionate. He loves people, and is good with kids and other dogs, and will thrive in a home where he will receive lots of love and attention. He has good name recall off-leash and knows a couple commands. He is also house-trained. His foster family reports that he is goofy, but smart. Kona will do best in an active home where he can get plenty of exercise and interaction with people and/or dogs. If you would like to meet Kona, please fill out an adoption application on the TRD website and an adoption coordinator will be in touch. http://therescueddog.org/2015/dog-adoption-application/ show less

Meet adorable Ruthie, who came to TRD from Tijuana. Ruthie is a beautiful doxie-spaniel mix who enjoys snuggling with her people. Ruthie lives with a dog and a cat in her foster home and does well with both. Ruthie does need slow introductions with new dogs, and seems to prefer dogs closer to her own size, in the 10 to 15 pound range. Ruthie can also be shy around new people, and would prefer a calm household where she can ease into her friendships with new people and new animals. Once Ruthie attaches to people, she is extremely loving and sweet. She does sometimes guard her people and will need a family who understands this behavior and will work on it with her. Her foster mom has already set the ground work for this and Ruthie's adoption includes a complimentary session with our trainer to make sure Ruthie gets off on the right foot in her new forever home. Ruthie is 2 and a half years old as of March 2017 and weighs in around 15 pounds. If you would like to meet Ruthie, 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

Extra small, energetic, unique, playful with a super funny personality—if these are qualities you are looking for in search of your forever pup, look no further than Uno! Little Uno was found as a stray at only 10 weeks old with no litter mates or mama dog in site. With only one ear there’s the possibility he was dumped from the litter by his owner for this birth defect. We think his one ear gives him a whole bunch of character! This goofy guy is now almost 16 weeks and is happy and healthy with hysterical spurts of puppy energy. Uno has learned a lot from his canine foster sister and is getting the hang of potty training as well as socialization and dog manners. Uno still has some puppy stages to get through like teething and perfecting house training, but he seems motivated and eager to please. He loves to be with his people and is a little shadow to his foster family. Uno gets along with dogs, cats and kids. We suggest a family without babies or toddlers due to his very small size and his current puppy teething/chewing stage. He would be very comfortable and enjoy another canine companion, but doesn’t require this as long as he gets plenty interaction and play time with his family. Uno’s missing ear is the result of a birth defect and was examined under anesthesia by our vet. There is a small ear canal and ear drum but we don’t think he can hear from this ear. He seems to hear fine from his developed ear, and has the cutest head tilt when figuring out where sounds are coming from! Uno should be treated as normal by a vet and be watched for the normal issues that can happen with any ear, such as ear infections. Uno is crate trained when his foster family is out. His foster mom says they absolutely adore him and love his spunky, goofy nature packed into his energetic 3.3 pound body! They say when he’s taking a break from playing he’s a professional snuggler—his favorite spot is curling up on someone’s shoulder or neck on the couch. He’s a playful, social guy that would love to be an inclusive member of an active, loving family. show less

Are you looking for an adorable buddy to keep you and your family company? Meet Biscuit! Biscuit is a sweet and spunky terrier-doxie mix who came to TRD from the Humane Society of Imperial County.

Biscuit is 3 months old as of March 2017 and has that adorable lack of coordination that makes puppies so cute. Once things settle down, Biscuit is also an excellent cuddler. As of March 2017, Biscuit weighs in at 10 pounds and may top out at 20 to 30 pounds full grown. Biscuit is working on his house training and leash training.

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.

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.

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.

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

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
