Hi! When I was a puppy my name was Turbo, then I was Apollo when I was adopted, and now my foster dad calls me Alpo, get it?! I'm almost a year old, husky mix, and I weigh almost 60 pounds. I was returned to the rescue because I couldn't live with a cat. Sorry, they just look yummy. I'm a big strong puppy who doesn't know my own strength but I hung out with a 4 year old human and we got along great     I sleep in a crate at night, and stay there when foster dad goes to work. I have two foster sisters who are older, one of them likes to play with me! I go on playdates with other big dogs and do great at the dog park. I do need to learn to be careful around small dogs though. The rescue peeps say I need to work on my leash walking and basic training, whatever that is. Foster dad says I'm a good boy and a fine young man =) I've heard about hiking, that sounds fun. Breweries? I think I'd love that, and I could probably join you on a long run if you're into that! If you want to meet me you can fill out an adoption application and schedule a meet up.  https://therescueddog.org/adopt/adoption-application/ show less

My name is Bruno and I cannot wait to be a part of a family. Are you going to be my family? I am a super happy and smiley 3 year old pug mix. I am energetic and curious but also love cuddles. Sometimes I forget that my foster mom isn't my personal chew toy but I'm working on this and would especially like to have a doggy brother or sister to keep me company. That would be so fun! I sleep in my crate at night and am crate trained. I also know how to "sit"  and do well on a leash. I like the training that I have started and hope that you will continue getting me lessons. I like to show how smart I am. Can't wait to meet you!!! show less

Mamas is an empty nester and ready for her forever home!  We saved Mamas along with her three puppies from Imperial County. Now it's time for Mamas to find her forever family and live the good life. This sweet lady is just over 4 years old and her compact size, at 10 pounds, is perfect for any size home. She gets along with dogs and would love to have another small breed pup to pal around with! She is crate trained and potty trained, and has been through basic and advanced obedience classes. Her fosters have started Canine Good Citizen classes with her. Slow intros with humans is a must though, as Mamas is still building trust after her street  life as a stray before being rescued.  Mamas would do welll in a home with another pup, and/or older children or even just solo and spoiled! She of course would prefer humans that might allow her on the couch to hang with them, ready to give her snuggles when requested. Mamas is affectionate, playful and loves her walks. She's an easy dog who will continue to flourish with love and stability.  If you would like to meet Mamas, please fill out an application.  show less

Sweet Penny first came to us in August 2015 as a charming and well balanced puppy from Humane Society of Imperial County, where she had been taken in as a stray. From the start, Penny was a fan favorite, never meeting a dog or a human she didn't like. She also had a goofy underbite and a twinkle in her eye that make her irresistible. She was quickly adopted out and we did not hear from her adopters again. Unfortunately, fast forward to this past February, and we got a call from a local shelter that Penny had been turned in as a stray again, almost 8 years from her original adoption date. Thankfully, TRD was still listed on the microchip so we were contacted. When we went to pick up Penny, we found her in pretty bad shape. Her skin was a mess and she was losing hair from the back half of her body. Amazingly, Penny's charm, balance, and wonderful sweet and goofy spirit (and the goofy underbite!) were still intact. Despite Herculean efforts, we could not get in contact with her adopters to find out what happened. We reclaimed Penny at the shelter and whisked her away to a loving foster home (after stopping for a much deserved puppiccino), where she is healing well from her skin issues and getting the love and attention she deserves. Penny behaves wonderfully with other dogs and is thrilled when she gets a chance to run around with new friends. Penny's foster family describes her as calm and confident. Despite what must have been an extended time of neglect from her humans, she still loves people and would settle in well with all sorts of families. Penny can be a vocal girl and sometimes uses her mouth when she plays, so older children and dogs who understand her play style would be best for her new family. Penny’s 23-pound frame is a perfect size for most households and at 8 years young, Penny still has plenty of life and love to share. Penny already knows several commands, including sit, off, fetch, and name recall. This lady of a certain age would be excited learn more skills and tricks, which is also a great way for her to bond with her new family. If you would like to meet Penny, and give her the happy and loving home life she truly deserves, please fill out the TRD application online and an adoption coordinator will be in touch to schedule a meet and greet. show less
