Incredibly smart but loves to Frisbe! CLICK HERE to watch Timmy on FOX 6's ANIMAL HOUSE!
Name: Timmy
Breed: Aussie/Border Collie
Age: 1.5 years
Sex: Neutered Male
Organization: Australian Shepherd Rescue of San Diego
Phone: (619) 469-3748
Timmy is great with other dogs, he's crate trained and housebroken! He
loves to go to the dog park and play with the other mutts! He's a little timid
with new people at first, but then he warms up....especially with other dogs
around. He's a good Frisbee dog, and he has lots of energy for someone who wants
to train him in agility!
Help us provide
continued publicity for Timmy and other dogs in our local shelters and
rescues....please donate today, or call (619) 847-8755 to make a car donation!
We'll happily accept your car, running or not!
ANDY
Email: DHutchin@ci.el-cajon.ca.us
A good luck charm! CLICK HERE to watch Andy on FOX 6's ANIMAL HOUSE!
Name: Andy
Andy wound up at the shelter after being turned in as a stray. Sadly, he was
micro-chipped, yet the previous owner had NOT UPDATED THE INFORMATION....so they
couldn't be notified. A good reminder for people to update their microchip
information, or it doesn't do any good!
Anyway Andy is a really, really nice cat. A little on the large side, but just
shy of being fat. Most notably, he's a polydactal (extra toes on each paw).
Polydactals are said to be good luck to the home where they reside.
He looks like a tough cat, but he's just an indoor pussycat. He uses the litter
box, always, and he's good with other cats, kids and probably even dogs. Since he's a "senior", his adoption fee is ONLY $30, and that includes all
vaccinations, feline leukemia testing, deworming, and neutering!
Breed: Domestic Cat
Age: 8 years
Sex: Neutered Male
Organization: El Cajon Animal Shelter,
619-441-1580 (1275 N. Marshall, two
blocks north of Fletcher Parkway.
Hours 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tues-Sat)

Age: 1 year old
Sex: Neutered Male
Organization: Aussie Rescue of
Southern California
Phone: (619) 469-3748
Email: ausshepards@cox.net
Cash is about 45-pounds and so far has
proven himself to be a great foster dog. He's good with the other dogs in the
home, and loves to go to the dog park and play! He's good with people, but is a
bit reserved at first. The foster home isn't sure yet how he'll behave with
cats, but if a cat owner wants him tested, the foster will be happy to do that!
BELLA
Email: sparmer@san.rr.com
Great with other dogs, kids and cats! CLICK HERE to watch Bella on FOX 6's ANIMAL HOUSE!
Name: Bella
Breed: Basenji/Cattledog mix
Age: 10 months
Sex: Neutered Male
Organization: United
Hope For Animals
Phone: (858) 405-6267
Bella
is soooooo soft that her fur
feels like cashmere, and she has beautiful green eyes. She was brought into a
shelter as a stray at 5 months of age after someone cut off the tips of her
ears, most likely in a home "cropping" job. She's about 50 pounds and excellent
with all dogs, kids and cats! She's playful, energetic, without being hyper and
annoying, and she'll be great for an active family.
DEWEY
Email: labradorsandfriends@yahoo.com
This sweet dog needs a foster home or to be adopted! CLICK HERE to watch Dewey on FOX 6's ANIMAL HOUSE!
Name: Dewey
Breed: Golden/Labrador
Age: 1.5 years
Sex: Neutered Male
Organization: Labradors & Friends
Phone: (619) 990-7455
DEWEY is about 1.5 to 2 years old, and is a young, strong, high-energy boy who needs a family willing to continue working with him on his training. He's good with kids, but based on his high-energy level, needs to be placed with a family who has kids 8 years old, or more. He''s handsome, sweet, and goofy. His previous family threw him in the back yard and ignored him....thankfully, the rescue got a hold of him while he was still young enough to place him in a better home.
Help us provide continued publicity for Dewey and other dogs in our local shelters and rescues....please donate today, or call 619-847-8755 to make a car donation! We'll happily accept your car, running or not!
ESPERANZA

Name:
Esperanza
Breed: German Shorthaired Pointer mix
Age: 1.5 years old
Sex: Spayed Female
Organization: Baja Animal Sanctuary
Phone: (619) 231-6960
Esperanza
was
rescued from the Rosarito Dog Pound on the day she was to be killed, and as if
she knows how lucky she is, she is a very happy dog, and very well-behaved!
She's good with other dogs and cats, and walks well on a leash. She weighs only
28 pounds! The Sanctuary has approximately 400 dogs in their care, including
dozens of dogs in foster homes north of the border, and they have adoption
events each weekend in San Diego.....they are an extremely easy group to work
with.
SAZZY

Beautiful Big Blue EYES! CLICK HERE to watch Sazzy on FOX 6's ANIMAL HOUSE!
Name: Sazzy
Breed: Himalayan Mix
Age: 3 years
Sex: Spayed Female
Organization: Shelter Pet Partners
Phone: (619) 634-3715
As
always, I feel like a failure when a pet doesn't get adopted! So I'm bringing
Sazzy
on for a second time! She's been in a cage for 6 months now, and needs a
home.....NOW. No cat should be caged for 6 months! Anyway, this beautiful
fluffy, blue-eyed beauty follows her people around like a dog! She couldn't
care less about other cats, so she can take 'em or leave 'em. She's more
people-oriented. She likes to be petted, but when she's had enough, she'll give
you a good "swat" to let you know. So, for that reason...no toddlers in the
home. But adults and children who are big enough to know to leave her alone
when she's had enough, would be fine! Basically, she's a princess, and she
knows it!
Help us provide continued publicity for Sazzy, and other cats in our local shelters and rescues....please donate today, or
call (619) 847-8755 to make a car donation! We'll happily accept your car, running or not!
SUSIE
Email: sandrasimpson@cox.net
No one's perfect and Susie doesn't like cats, but she's very SWEET! CLICK HERE to watch Susie on FOX and find out where YOU can meet her this weekend!
Name: Susie
Breed: Dalmatian/Pittie
mix
Age: 3 years old
Sex: Spayed Female
Organization: Baja Animal
Sanctuary
Susie first came to the Baja Animal
Sanctuary in 2006 by a resident who lived on the beach in Rosarito. She
showed up as a stray and they started feeding her but Susie does not do well
with cats and they had 3. She was adopted to a family here in the US in December
of 2006 but was returned a couple of weeks ago, when her new family had to
vacate their home, and were unable to find a place that would take Susie. This
had NOTHING to do with her, and everything to do with the "market". She's a VERY
SWEET dog. She's great with other dogs, kids, and people. No alpha problems
whatsoever. She cannot be around cats. She is currently being fostered in Poway
where she's on a diet to lose the 10-15 lbs she gained living the good life here
in the US. She is complexly potty trained and will go the door when she needs to
go out. She sleeps on her bed all night and her favorite past time is giving
kisses.
Like lots of Sanctuary dogs, Susie will be available on
Saturday at the adoption event at the Carmel Mountain Ranch Petco.
MALACHI
Email: greyhound@greyhoundog.org
GREYHOUND MALACHI (Video) has been featured on FOX! Malachi is available for adoption from Greyhound
Adoption Center, in Lakeside! He is
bit older than the typical rescued Greyhound at 6.5 years. Several months
ago he was dumped in a drop-box at a shelter. He's tattooed, which means
he was bred for racing, before being discarded. He was placed into foster
care, where the foster family loved him so much, they would have adopted him had
he done better with their cat. But he does love other dogs!
Organization:
Greyhound Adoption Center
Phone: (877) Hound-Savers
There are more than 30
other Greyhounds available for adoption at the Greyhound Adoption Center, in
Lakeside, at 9078 Winter Gardens Blvd.
DUNCAN
Email: ann@pitbullrescuesandiego.com
Let's find this great guy a good home! CLICK HERE to watch Duncan on FOX 6's ANIMAL HOUSE!Name: Duncan
Breed: Pit Bull
Age: 2.5 years old
Sex: Neutered Male
Organization: Pit Bull
Rescue San Diego
Phone: (858) 361-3592
Duncan believes that he is a lap dog. He is very eager to please, and loves being petted and a good tummy rub! He is house trained, and knows his basic commands (sit, stay, down, etc.). A rousing game of fetch is one of Duncan's joys. As do most Pitties, he participates fully in a good game of tug of war. In his previous situation, Duncan spent many hours in a doggie day care facility, and is great with children. We recommend an experienced pit owner as he can be a bit dominant. That's why we also don't recommend a home with smaller dogs or cats. He will be at our May 18 adoption event, located at the Mission Valley Pet People. We can also do private interacts for those interested in adoption.
Note: All parties MUST fill out an application at

BLOSSOM
Email: cyndi92116@yahoo.com
A medium dog that is very well behaved even in a condo! CLICK HERE to see BLOSSOM on FOX 6 NEWS!
Name: Blossom
Breed: Finnish Spitz Mix
Age: 4 years old
Sex: Spayed Female
Organization: FOCAS
Phone: (619) 750-7755
Blossom is a loyal, fun-loving gal that enjoys long walks and car rides. She is currently enjoying the condo life, and her foster mom says she has great house manners, even without a yard. She's just not the type of dog that requires a yard....she's perfectly happy with her walks.
Meanwhile, she is intelligent, food motivated (which is a big plus when training a dog), eager to learn and wants to be your one and only love! She's housetrained, and it would be best to place her in a home without children who are younger than 12 years of age.
Help us provide continued publicity for Blossom and other dogs in our local shelters and rescues....please donate today, or call 619-847-8755 to make a car donation! We'll happily accept your car, running or not!
HUTCH

Email: sdspanielrescue@yahoo.com
Just a little shy! CLICK HERE to watch HUTCH on the FOX Morning News!
Name: Hutch
Breed: American Cocker Spaniel
Age: 4 years old
Sex: Neutered Male
Organization: San Diego Spaniel Rescue
Phone: (519) 922-0545
At only 26 pounds, Hutch is good with other dogs, and housebroken. He's crate
trained, and feels better being crated when left alone. He loves people, but is
still a little too unsure of himself to be placed in a home with small children.
A home with adults would be better for him since he tends to be a little on the
shy side.
Spaniel rescue is desperate for foster homes at this time. So even if you're not
ready for a permanent dog, please consider fostering. It's a great way to figure
out if your ready for a dog, while saving a life!

Breed: Jack Russell/Corgi mix
Age: 6 years old
Sex: Spayed Female
Organization: Baja Animal Sanctuary
Phone: (619) 231-6960
Meet this cute dog lovingly nicknamed Chubbs. She was recently rescued
from the Bonita shelter. Chubbs was one the shelter workers' favorites
because of her great personality. She has a very sweet disposition and would
make a great companion dog. Chubbs is a Jack Russell/Corgi mix who wasn't
very well taken care of before she ended up at the shelter. When she first
arrived she was 10 pounds overweight (should be a 25 pound dog), her toenails
weren't clipped and she could barely walk. With some of the shelter's help after
her arrival....she was and still is on a strict diet until we can get her to a
normal weight. This girl has had a bad start in life but fortunately for her she
is now living with a foster, is eating a healthy/conservative diet, will get
some exercise once she sheds some of that excess weight and in no time will be a
healthy dog....the life she deserves! For all she has been through so far, she
is a happy girl. She is house trained and gets along with other dogs. Chubbs
is up to date on her shots, is spayed and is ready for her forever home. If
you're interested in meeting her, contact her foster, Sandra at
sandradsimpson@cox.net or call (619) 231.6960.

Boxer is very athletic, and would be excellent candidate for agility training,
or living on a ranch. He loves all dogs of every size, breed, and sex. He'd be
a great running companion, or hiking partner. Trusted with kids! He was pulled
from a shelter, accidentally, on the day he was to be put down. The transporter

Shiraz uses a scratching pole whenever she wants to scratch and stretch. She would most likely prefer to be the baby of the household, but she'd probably tolerate another mellow, easygoing cat. Mostly, she loves people, and is highly motivated by food....she'll come running for canned food, Friskies and Fancy Feast! Shiraz is at the PETsMART Luv-A-Pet Center at the Murphy Canyon store, off the 15 Fwy at Aero Drive, where shelter cats are available for adoption every day!
