Foxy is an adorable pug who came to TRD when her owners could no longer care for her. She arrived with her brother Butters. Although they do not have to be adopted out together, they have lived with each other their whole lives and would enjoy the right kind of canine companion. According to Foxy's foster family, Foxy is a typical pug--sassy, spunky, and snorty. She is about 5 years old as of November 2016, making her perfect for a family looking for a dog beyond the puppy stage but one who still has plenty of adventures ahead of her. She is an affectionate cuddler and loves to lay on her back in your arms. She is good with dogs but can be a little bossy with other female pups. She currently lives in a home with one canine foster brother of similar size and is always by his side. She rarely barks but makes up for it in snorts and grunts. If you find a snoring dog adorable, Foxy just might be the gal for you! Foxy is crate trained but would gladly jump in your bed to sleep if invited. She is a big lover and will make a loyal companion to her human parents and canine brothers or sisters. Foxy likes to go on walks and is still trying to figure out the leash that seems to follow her wherever she goes. She does not pull but has a tendency to get turned around and tangled up from time to time. When out and about, Foxy is not reactive toward people or dogs but she is cautious when approaching strangers. Foxy is working on some basic commands, and proving that you CAN teach an older dog new tricks! She is eager to learn when it involves treats but (like most pugs) she requires patience and lots of love as her attention span can be a bit short. If you are looking for a hilarious character to fill out your pack, fill out an application on the TRD website to meet Foxy! show less

Are you looking for an adorable ray of sunshine in your life? Meet Sunshine, affectionately known as Sunny. Sunshine came to TRD from San Bernardino in March 2016. At two months old, Sunny had already had a rough life. We don't know how it happened, but when we picked up Sunny from the shelter, his right front foot was broken. He was also displaying some insecure behaviors, no doubt a result of his rough beginnings. After 5 months of healing, rehab, and training with our resident trainer, we are happy to say that Sunny is happy and healthy and ready for his forever home. Sunny benefits greatly from socializing with other confident dogs. His foster family brings him to the dog park and the beach to make sure he continues to have positive interactions with new canine friends. He is also fun and friendly with his foster's resident dogs. Sunny loves to play fetch and has learned to drop on command. He is a smart little guy who has also picked up several other commands, including sit, come, off, and heel. Sunny is still working on his leash manners and will need a family who is willing to continue the leash training he has already received. Because of Sunny's sensitive nature, we think he will do best with a family that lives in a suburb or in a part of the city that is a little more calm and quiet, and less stimulating than a more urban neighborhood. We have enjoyed watching Sunny go from an injured and unsure little puppy to a healthy and independent "teen". He will need a family who will continue to foster his confidence. Sunny is a fun dog with the tenacity of a jack russell and the goofiness of a corgi. He will make the right forever family very happy! Sunny is about 28 pounds at 10 months old (as of October 2016) and we predict that he may put on a pound or two more before he is full grown. If you would like to meet Sunny, 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

Say hello to Gunther, a handsome two-and-a-half-year-old Malinois perfect for a family who loves and respects shepherd dogs. Gunther is a quintessential Malinois. He is loyal, smart, calm, and connected to his people. These large, energetic dogs need a firm hand and loads of exercise. Gunther's current exercise regimen includes playing in the yard with his canine foster siblings. Gunther does well on leash and will appreciate an active family who will take him on walks and hikes. In the home, Gunther is calm and respectful. He lives with a younger child and does well with him, but due to Gunther's large size and residual puppy-like gangly-ness, we recommend he be placed with a family with children 8 and older. Like many breeds of herding dogs, Malinoises can be insistent about protecting their family flock and Gunther is no exception. He is a careful watcher of his human friends. Gunther is well-socialized and gets along great with all members of his foster family, including the toddler, a cat, and other dogs. He is housebroken and crate trained. He weighs about 65 pounds and is probably close to his maximum weight and size. If you love shepherds, you and Gunther may be perfect for each other. You can meet him by filling out an adoption application on the TRD website. One of our adoption coordinators will contact you to arrange a meet-up. show less

Mingus is a fun and friendly Great Dane-hound mix looking for a fun and active family who will appreciate his goofy personality and his lanky limbs! Mingus came to TRD from the Humane Society of Imperial County. Mingus is about 5 months old as of September 2016 and weighs in at around 45 pounds. For a big dog, that means he might double in size by the time he's full grown. If you are a fan of the big dogs, check out Mingus! Mingus is a very friendly guy with both humans and canines. He is still new to walking on a leash, but he has a good start on his leash manners and will be fun and easy to continue to train. Mingus' foster family reports that he is very friendly with all dogs, kids, and adults. He is an energetic, playful, loving guy who is impossible to resist. Mingus is at a great age to start basic training with his forever family, and given his growth potential, his new family will definitely want to make sure this guy gets some solid training under his belt. He's already got a good start and is naturally polite and obedient. While he still displays some typical puppy behaviors, he is easily corrected and really just wants to make his people happy. Mingus is house trained. If you are looking for a friendly guy to join you on all of life's adventures, fill out an application on the TRD website to meet Mingus! show less
