Dottie is a 2 or 3 year old Husky mix. She has been in foster care through South County Animal Rescue since February. Dottie is an absolute love! She is happiest snuggling with her people and getting pets and scratches. She might be part lap dog!

Dottie is excited to see other dogs on walks, but listens to “leave it” and keeps walking. She is particular about who she shares her space with and would do well as an only dog or with a respectful dog who understands boundaries. Within two weeks, she bonded with the resident retriever. They play really well together. Dottie will give a quick bark when she needs space, but she's never shown any aggression. She initially showed some protectiveness of toys, but that only lasted about a week. She has never show aggression or protection over food. She happily eats her meals in the kitchen with my retriever and cat.

Dottie was initially too interested in my cat and would chase after her, but she never tried to nip or bite her. After about two months, she stopped chasing the cat and by three months, both dogs and the cat could relax on the couch together.

She shows minor separation anxiety, but a Kong toy filled with peanut butter is usually enough to distract her and keep her calm when foster leaves. She has counter surfed in the kitchen and chewed small holes in blankets. She might benefit from crate training to help counter separation anxiety. Dottie only gets into things when home alone.

Dottie would do well with another dog that she could follow.

She loves to play fetch, but only with a soft, squeaky toy. She's shown no interest in tennis balls. She needs a fenced area where she can run free to get her occasional zoomies out. She loves to run and play with the resident dog, but also calms down and relaxes well.

She has never tried to jump over the fence or dig under it. She occasionally will dig a small hole in the garden, usually to lay in.

Honey 2yr old Chi mix! Very happy, sweet playful little girl. She is amazing with other dogs and cats! House trained too! She loves her play dates with her friend Susie!

Riley is 2-3 year old, male, Doxie/Chi mix.  He is very timid with strangers so needs an adopter who will take it slow and give him time to adjust to his new home. He loves his human and he will not leave your side. Riley loves to cuddle in bed with his human, is potty trained, walks on a leash, and is good in the car.  He gets along with other small dogs but has not been around cats.

Our parvo-survivor pups Sonoma and Solano are now with our temporary foster and are thriving! These pups are BIG puppies and will be big dogs. They are so sweet and get along with all the resident dogs perfectly! They've even made themselves comfortable on their foster human's bed with the rest of the dogs! Sonoma is about 40 lbs. Solano is about 50 lbs. The pups are about 7 months old. The shelter described them as mastiff/English bulldog mix. They are adorable!

Sonoma (female) and Solano (male with white on face) are still looking for their forever homes! Do you love big dogs? Do you have the time and energy for a big puppy? Would you like to meet Sonoma or Solano?

Our last intake of 2022 included Avery and 5 puppies! Champagne, Bubbly, Confetti, Glitz and Cheers are settling in nicely. They came to us as an owner surrender, and they are a breath of fresh air. While we take in a lot of scared dogs and dogs with some rehabilitation need, Avery is a sweet girl adjusting quickly. She is certainly in transition to a new place with new people, but she is friendly and willing to trust. We are working on socializing the puppies a little more, but the puppies are also already on their way! We have begun medical care for all of these sweet babies.

We are accepting pre-adoption applications for all 6. Avery is a 2-year-old terrier mix. Our best guess is Maltese/terrier. She is about 9 lbs. Puppies range from 3 lbs to 5 lbs at 8 weeks, so we suspect puppies will be bigger than Avery at maturity. All puppies are female. Possibly in the 10 to 12 lb. range, best guess. We suspect Avery is related, but not momma to the pups.

Cruz was a pregnant feral who we rescued because she is very loving and friendly. She is a Tortoiseshell cat, with golden eyes. When you call her name she will chirp. She can be silly, out of no where she will zoom around in the living room. She enjoys cat nip, lasers, sitting on the top of the couch and bird watching. She likes to hide in tunnels and lay in her scratch pad bed. She always wants to know what you are eating even if she doesn't want to taste it. She doesn't mind the sound of a vacuum. Loves being around animals (dogs are her favorite), children and adults. She enjoys her space, she doesn't like to be held or touched very often but she does love to be in your presence. She is a beautiful cat with lots of love to give. She is 1 and a half years old. 

Susie is a 3yr old chi terrier mix with beautiful radar ears! She can be a bit shy at first but within moments she's all love and play! She's great with other dogs and fine with cat. Susie is house trained. She loves her play dates with her bestie Honey!

 Little Ms. Hazel is learning to trust. She has come a long way from the terrified growling dog we met two weeks ago. Hazel lived with lots of kids so she loves kids. We're not sure how she was handled so we recommend older and dog experienced kids. She does well with other dogs too. Hazel will need to continue her training and continue her socialization since we think she missed some of that. She is an adorable terrier mix of 8 months. She weighs about 8 lbs. She goes in for spay and microchip on Tuesday. She is ready to meet her forever family!
