The San Diego Animal Support Foundation provides this service to the community, in order to prevent animals from being taken to the shelter by their owners. Most of the pets featured below are privately owned animals, who for one reason or another (usually relocation complications) are being given up by their families who do not want to see them wind up in a shelter. Additionally, as a courtesy, we post information here from rescue and shelter volunteers for animals who are in emergency situations. Please confirm any posted information with the responsible parties listed. The Foundation is not responsible for adoptions between private parties. In order to list a pet on this website, current owners have agreed to provide new owners with evidence of current vaccinations, veterinary records, and proof that the animal has been spayed or neutered. Pets who do not fit the description above should not be listed. Please report any abuse of this service to The Foundation at: Sdanimalsupport@aol.com. To have your pet listed here, please send a .jpg photo and detailed description of your pet to: Sdanimalsupport@aol.com *San Diego Animal Rescue Foundation cannot be held liable for adoptions made from private parties. |

Precious (AKA PeeWee) is a sweet dog who has been abandoned by her owner and needs a new family soon! She's about 3.5 years old, a beagle mix, spayed, updated vaccinations. She is a very loving dog and really enjoys attention. She's quite submissive. She loves her soccer ball... and has a favorite one she has with h...er all the time. Pee Wee loves to have her ball tossed so she can run and get it. She lived on a ranch so will have to be socialized to city-life. If you talk to her in a friendly voice she is all about playing and being silly. She loves people. PeeWee is a great dog who could do very well with some one who is an out doors person. With some dog training she would make a great companion. She is very loyal and extremely smart so I think she will learn very fast if someone can take the time and work with her. Precious is also a video star, you can check her out online: video1 | video2 |

I'm Lily, an American Pit Bull Mix. I had a terrible life for awhile and was neglected and abused, but my very wonderful foster mom rescued me and nursed me back to health. I lost a kidney during that time, but that hasn't slowed me down. I'm now 9 months old, I weigh 92 pounds, and I'm very healthy. I'm up to date on all of my vaccinations, I've been spayed, and I have a license and microchip. I get along well with other dogs and cats. I know sit, stay, lie down, roll over, and beg like a poodle. Long walks? LOVE THEM! Playing fetch and doing tricks for treats is fun, too! I'm crate trained and long my Kong Toy. |

My name is Isabella. I'm a purebred English Pointer. My foster mom named me Isabella because I was "saved by the bell". I was pulled out of the shelter with only a few hours left. All I know is I was glad to get out of there! I wasn't treated well before I went to the shelter. I was used to produce puppies and didn't have much of a life. Now I'm learning how to be a pet, and I love it. I'm house-trained, love my crate, and am very sweet with people of all ages and sizes. I don't jump up on people and I'm very gentle with children. Foster mom says it's a testament to my breed that I'm so sweet and loving after all I've been through. The vet thinks I'm only 3 or 4 years old. I'm good with cats and horses and love to go for long walks. I'm very submissive and smart. I learn quickly. I have great natural pointing instincts and would make a good hunting dog. My only fault is that other dogs make me very nervous. I came from an over-crowded situation where I had to fight for food and water. This traumatized me. I'm OK now with other dogs, as long as they leave me alone. If they get in my face and I can't get away, I get upset. If I'm out and about on a leash, I'm polite. I don't lunge or bark at other dogs. I do like my pointer foster sister Jill. She's nice and mellow. She gives me my space so I'm pretty happy to be in her company. Foster mom says I'm getting better every day, but I'd probably do best as an only dog. If I'm going to live with another dog, it should be just one other dog who is a neutral and calm. . |

Duncan is pure persian, 12 years old, and very friendly. We love him dearly but he isn't happy with us anymore. He is not using his litter box and we have spent much money with our vet testing and trying different things to determine that it is not medically related. Nothing has changed here so we can only think that it must be us or something that Duncan isn't liking anymore. We have tried what people have suggested to no avail. Please help us find him a new home. We just don't know what else to do but he can't remain here. He has no other bad manners. He has had mouth surgery so he eats canned food. Thank you for your help. |

Glenda is a 3 year old spayed Pit mix who is a kind and gentle soul. She is a shelter dog, but is being boarded at a kennel by shelter workers who have sponsored her to keep her out of the shelter environment. She weighs 73lbs. and is slimming down more and more each day! Glenda is one of a few very special dogs who was enrolled in dog obedience school while living at the shelter, and she was a top student! She loves to go on long walks, and she walks beautifully when on a harness. Glenda is friendly with everyone she meets and already knows "sit" and is continuing her training at her boarding kennel. Glenda gets along well with most dogs, but others she doesn't really want to be friends with, so Glenda would prefer being the only dog in the house. |

Meet Jessie and Callie, mixed-breed females, 5+ years old -- they were relinquished to temporary foster care when their owner's home went into foreclosure. They have been vet checked, are up-to-date on shots, and de-wormed. They are good on a leash, sleep through the night, love to play in the yard, housetrained and are good with other dogs and cats. To insure placement in a good home there will be a small re-homing fee (which will be a donation to a rescue organization) and an application/home check. |

This beautiful cat is in need of a new person. He is being cared for by the neighbor of an elderly woman who has been placed in a long term care facility and will not be coming home. He is an older cat (not sure how old, but definitely over 10), he's big and black and very sweet -- a total purrrrrrr pot. He has been an indoor/outdoor cat, but has been inside only lately and he's done well. He needs a home without dogs or where he could live peacefully separated from dogs. He had a kitty buddy but it died. He is a total lover and will ignore food and everything just to get some lovin'. |

We took in this Fox Hound as a stray three years ago. We are not sure of his age, but the vet estimates about 4. He appears to be pure bred. He is house broken and is friendly with adults. We recently had a child and have not been able to get him to adjust to the baby. He is extremely active, can be obstinate, and wants a lot of attention so we are not comfortable with him being around a young child. He is very healthy, but gives himself lick granulomas that have to be treated with antibiotics. He has been neutered and is up to date on his shots. He is a really sweet dog and we really don't want to see him end up in a shelter so we are hoping to find someone to take him in. There is a small adoption fee. |

My name is Zoe. I am an 8 year old spade purebred Japanese Akita. I am a very energetic dog that loves to jump, play, dig and climb. I love children and being in the house but I do not care for other dogs. I have a slight healthy condition that the doctors have not found a cure for; I have cysts on my stomach area. They are a concentrated mass to one small (5") area. My owners have taken me in twice to have these removed and sent to a lab. Both times they came up negative for cancer however the doctors warn that as I get older that could change. I need more love, attention and play time then my current owner can give me. Since I am an escape artist at times, I need a very well secured yard or a lot of room to roam. I have a lot of love to give, please give me a chance! |

Swell is three years of age, she's full grown, but appears to have been the runt of the litter. (A rare and exotic miniature Husky!) She is spayed, has all her vaccinations and even a passport for traveling. She's very well trained, obedient and listens well. She is great with other dogs, good with all people, she's very docile, doesn't bite, bark or chew. Basically she is a perfect girl. She's not vocal like many Huskies are known to be. She loves, loves, loves attention and being with her people. She has a cataract in one eye. She's not blind in that eye, but can't see well, the vet recommends no treatment for the eye. Eran moved from Colorado two months ago, and is living with a friend due to a lack of funds. A friend was keeping his dog, but is now selling his home, and needs Eran to take the dog away as soon as possible. Time is of the essence, as his friend is really wanting the dog to be picked up immediately. Eran would prefer that the dog be taken in by a rescue, as opposed to a shelter, if possible. |

From Newton's current owner: Newton is a 4 year old netured male lab/greyhound/Australian shepard mix. He has a lot of energy. He is very loving and affectionate. Newton does well with other dogs. He likes to chase cats (but does not hurt them). Newton is an excitable dog and doesn't know his own strength (he should be monitored with young children). The ideal situation for Newton is a home with a family that can give him the attention he requires. I am the second family for him and have only had him about 1 1/2 years. He likes to bark (protect the property) . Since I have recently moved and can't be at home as much as I was, he doesn't know all the sounds in the new place and the landlord said the barking is too much. I have be looking for a new home for about three weeks and I am at the end of the allotted time the landlord gave me, so I have dropped Newton off at Bonita shelter where he's been for the past week, but he is not doing very well. Very stressed. I found a temporary foster in Pacific Beach so I will be pulling him from shelter Wednesday 10-21-09. Foster home cannot keep Newton for long, so please contact us to meet Newton if you're interested in giving him a loving home. |

Clyde is a wonderful 4 or 5 year old boy that desperately needs a home. He has been in foster care for the last 18 months and needs to be seen to fall in love with him. He is selective about his dog friends and would do best as an only dog with somebody that just wants to walk a dog on leash with no off leash romps at a dog park. He absolutely LOVES all people. He goes to Home Depot all the time and he is a big flirt. He looks like a big gentle tiger with his light brindle coloring. He's good with adults and kids and is a perfect boy in the house and car. Clyde is in great shape, totally healthy, and is so full of love. Clyde is a mix of Golden Retriever, Staffordshire Terrier with some Welsh Pembroke Corgi. |
