Zina gets along great with all the other Aussies in the rescue, and is really good with other puppies There's no food aggression or fighting over toys. Fortunately, she and her sister were discovered and rescued from the El Centro Animal Shelter, where lots of animals aren't so fortunate. Zina is calm and follows her foster mom around the yard. She basks in attention and she's very loving. She's smart, of course, because she's part Australian Shepherd, and has already learned several commands. She's just now learning about balls and toys.

 CLICK HERE to see Maybelline on SAN DIEGO 6 ANIMAL HOUSE!Name: Maybelline Breed: Labrador Retriever Age: 1.5 years old Sex: Spayed Female Organization: Labradors & Friends Rescue Phone: (619) 990-7455 |
| Maybelline is a beautiful, young, black Lab available for adoption from Labradors & Friends Rescue. Because the rescue is currently out of temporary foster homes, they have to keep Maybelline in a kennel. Last night, in preparation for her TV debut, she went home with one of the foster parents who said she did really great with their 35-pound dog and their 75-pound lab. She also did well with the cats. She's happy and outgoing, knows her basic commands, housetrained and treat motivated. She's approved to go to a home with children, as well. Hopefully someone will see her today and want to adopt her forever, but even if you're not in a position to adopt right now, please consider becoming a temporary foster guardian for Maybelline so that she doesn't have to stay in a kennel until a forever home comes along. If you'd like to meet her, Maybelline will be available for adoption this Saturday, September 4th, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the REI store on Copley Dr. Also, Labradors & Friends is holding a silent auction and party on September 11th with prize packages including a week stay in Vegas, a weekend get-away in Napa Valley, spa packages, jewelry and restaurant deals.

Valley Parkway, in Escondido Hours: Every day, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. |
| These two bunnies have been at the Escondido Humane Society since 2008...basically, their whole lives. Abel and Andrew are a cute, bonded pair of brothers with soft sable fur and brown eyes. They enjoy playing in a paper tunnel during their run time, and when they're tuckered out, they snuggle and lounge together. Rabbits make wonderful indoor companions. They’re perfect for apartment living, they're clean, litter box trained, and provide entertainment and companionship just like dogs and cats. And with Andrew and Abel, you will have double the fun and love! These two are good with children, too. Andrew and Abel can be adopted for a very special price of $45 for both bunnies. They are both neutered and microchipped and come with a free health and wellness certificate to use at a local private vets office. For more info about Andrew and Abel, and hundreds of other wonderful pets needing good homes, please call the Escondido Humane Society at (760) 888-BARK or log on to www.escondidohumanesociety.org.

 CLICK HERE to see Herbie on SAN DIEGO 6 ANIMAL HOUSE!Name: Herbie Breed: Chocolate Labrador Retriever Age: 1 year old Sex: Neutered Male Organization: Labradors & Friends Rescue Phone: (619) 990-7455 Email: LabradorsAndFriends@yahoo.com |
| Herbie is a beautiful, young, purebred Chocolate Lab with a great personality. He rides well in a car and he's pretty good on a leash, too. He tugs a bit, but not very hard. He gets along great with other dogs, in fact he spent the evening with a senior dog and a small dog. He started to play a little rough with the smaller dog who just snapped at him, and that was the end of that. He's basically a 90-pound puppy. He was also pretty good with the cats in the house, though he'd probably chase a cat that ran away from him. Herbie is in a boarding facility right now, because there aren't enough foster homes available for all the labbies in the program. So even if you're not interested in adopting Herbie right now, call to find out how you can foster him in your home until a permanent home can be found. It doesn't cost you anything as all supplies and medical care are covered by the rescue. Labradors & Friends is having a silent auction on September 11th to help raise money for their organization. If you're interested in learning more and seeing what's up for auction, like some of the weekend getaway packages, visit their website at LabradorsAndFriends.org. |

| Violet is a beautiful one-year-old, 40-pound female Terrier mix who is really scared at the shelter, and needs to get into a permanent home, or a temporary foster home as soon as possible. She was abandoned at Ryan Park in Escondido in early August, and taken to the shelter. She did wonderfully on her behavior test, but is so scared at the shelter that sometimes she just sits in her kennel shaking. Her adoption fee has been reduced to just $55 until the end of August, in fact, all adoption fees at the Escondido Humane Society have been cut in half for the rest of this month, to encourage people to come in and adopt. All pets are still spayed or neutered before adoption, fully vaccinated, microchipped, de-wormed, de-fleaed and come with a free vet visit. Because Violet is in such great need to be adopted quickly, the foster coordinator is also donating a basket filled with a free leash, collar, dog food, treats, toys and more. Please contact the foster coordinator directly at 760-445-9047, or if you want to find out about other animals available for adoption, call the shelter directly at 760-888-BARK during normal business hours of 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Escondido Humane Society is located at 3450 E.

 CLICK HERE to see Tawny on SAN DIEGO 6 ANIMAL HOUSE!Name: Tawny Breed: Mini Australian Shepherd/Retriever Age: 2 years old Sex: Spayed Female Organization: Aussies & Others Dog Rescue Phone: (619) 469-3748 |
| Tawny is a 2-year-old, 18-pound Miniature Australian Shepherd/Retriever mix. She's a wonderful little dog who has one of those sparkling personalities that really makes an impression. She's great with other dogs, loves to go to the dog park and play, and she's very active. She loves being a couch potato in the evening, she's rides well in a car, and will make a great companion for people who like to RV. Speaking of cars and dogs, Helen Woodward Animal Center took the temperature in the inside of their van yesterday afternoon when it was 80 degrees outside. The inside of the van was 153 degrees, enough to kill a dog in the time it takes you to complete your shopping. With these hot August temperatures, don't take your pets with you, and remember you will be prosecuted for leaving a dog in a hot car in San Diego. Now, back to Tawny... she has a zest for life, she wakes up happy in the morning and wants to get the day started with a walk or run. She almost lost her back leg when she was just a puppy after being hit by a car. Fortunately, the great vets at Cuyamaca Animal Hospital performed surgery and skin grafts to repair it without amputation. Since then, she's recovered completely! Call Becky with Aussies & Other's Rescue to adopt Tawny today, or to find out about any of the other great dogs they are trying to place. |

He was found in July and brought to the shelter, and still hasn't been discovered by a new family.

Of course, they're also looking for a family who will keep him safe and protectd as an indoor cat. His adoption fee is only $55, and that includes all his vaccinations, microchip and tests. The El Cajon Animal Shelter is located on North Marshall Street, just two blocks north of Fletcher Parkway, and they're open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Even if Powder isn't the right cat for you, they want me to remind you that the shelter is absolutely packed with cats and kittens for adoption right now, so stop by to meet Powder and hundreds of other pets who need a good home.

 CLICK HERE to see Georgia on SAN DIEGO 6 ANIMAL HOUSE!Name: Georgia Breed: Poodle mix Age: 5 years old Sex: Spayed Female Organization: Aussies & Others Rescue Phone: (619) 469-3748 |
| Georgia is a 5 year old Poodle mix who is having a tough time finding a home because she's missing an eye. She was featured on San Diego 6 in the Morning about 4 months ago, but nobody showed an interest in her. She had just been shaved down at that time, and since then, her hair has grown in beautifully, and you can hardly event tell that she's missing an eye...she's so much prettier today than she was before. She weighs only 18 pounds, she's playful, affectionate, and happy! She gets along great with other dogs and loves everyone she meets. She has a beautifully chocolate coat and doesn't shed. Georgia walks well on a leash and will make a great companion for someone living in a condo or for a couple who enjoys traveling in their motor home. Please call Aussies & Others Dog Rescue today to find out how you can make Georgia part of your family. Even if she's not the dog for you, the rescue will help you find the type of dog you're looking for by scouring all the shelters for candidates. You can also learn about fostering a dog for Aussies & Others, as they're a respectable, excellent organization, and they do a great job working with their foster families. |
 CLICK HERE to see Kung Pao on SAN DIEGO 6 ANIMAL HOUSE (and HERE for a Video with Mu Shu)Name: Kung Pao Breed: Siamese mixe Age: 4.5 months old Sex: Neutered Male Organization: Friends of Cats Shelter, in El Cajon 15587 Olde Hwy 80, in El Cajon Phone: (619) 561-0361 X0 |
| Kung Pao is a 4.5 month old Siamese kitten who we featured about a month ago with one of his brothers. All his siblings were lucky enough to get adopted, but poor Kung Pau was left behind at the Friends of Cats Shelter, so they'd really like to get him into a home with a family of his own. Like all cats available for adoption from this shelter, he's current on all his vaccinations, tested negative for any feline diseases, he's microchipped, comes with a free vet visit and pet carrier, and his adoption fee is only $55! Kung Pao likes other cats, kids, dogs and loves to purr and be loved. He's just a playful, happy teenage kitten. The shelter has lots of kittens and beautiful, easy-going adult cats to choose from. They're also getting ready for their 81st annual Open House on Saturday, September 18th from 11 to 3 p.m. They'll have games, raffles, art, and a hand-made quilt as the grand prize. Visit their web site, FriendsOfCats.org for a list of prizes, tickets and more information about the event. |
 CLICK HERE to see Sassy on SAN DIEGO 6 ANIMAL HOUSE (and HERE when she was on KUSI for Big Dog Rock)Name: Sassy (47957) Breed: Pit Bull mix Age: 1 year old Sex: Spayed Female Organization: Escondido Humane Society, 3450 E. Valley Parkway, in Escondido Phone: (760) 445-9047 Hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Every day! |
| She's big, she's black, and she was born a Pit Bull. Those are the three things stopping this sweet dog from getting adopted. Sassy was featured last week on San Diego Living because she was one of the 150 big dogs available for adoption at the BIG DOGS ROCK event. Unfortunately, nobody noticed her when she was on TV, and they didn't notice her at the event...even though she behaved so beautifully and got along with all the other dogs. So, here we are again, making a pitch to find someone who will love her as a family member. She's 51-pounds, super lovable and loves giving kisses. She's convinced that your lap is where she belongs. With her calm personality, she's got a bit of a fan club among the shelter volunteers and staff. For this month only, all the adoption fees at the Escondido Humane Society have been cut in half. That means Sassy's adoption fee is only $55. And if you aren't convinced to adopt her, please call and find out how you can become her temporary foster guardian so that she can at least get out of the shelter and into a home environment until a forever family can be found. The shelter is located on East Valley Parkway in Escondido, and they're open every day, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. to make it easy for you to find your perfect pet any day of the week. |
 CLICK HERE to see Moe and Marvin on SAN DIEGO 6 ANIMAL HOUSEName: Moe & Marvin Breed: Domestic Short Hair/Tabby Age: 6 months Sex: Neutered Males Organization: National Cat Protection Society 9031 Birch St., Spring Valley Phone: (619) 469-8771 |
| Marvin and Moe are two short-haired kittens available for adoption from the National Cat Protection Society in Spring Valley. Moe has the lighter gray coloring, while Marvin has standard tabby coloring. They're just 6 months old, and were hand-raised by a surrogate mother from the age of about one week. Kittens are too young to survive on their own at that age, so a foster mom has to bottle feed them every few hours, and provide special care. As a result, they're extremely affectionate toward people. They're very playful, happy and bonded to each other. Ideally, the shelter would like to place them in a home together. If that can't happen, then the shelter might separate the two, but someone who would want both kittens would be given preference. Also, if you're planning on adopting a kitten, sometimes it's wonderful to have two. That way, they can keep each other busy when you're away from home! The National Cat Protection Society is located at 9031 Birch Street in Spring Valley, and they're open Tuesday through Saturday, noon to 4:30. All cats and kittens from Nat Cat are spayed or neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped before adoption. |

| Bill is a neutered male brown tabby who is about 3 1/2 months old. Bill is vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, tested negative for FeLV and FIV and comes with a free vet visit and pet carrier. His fee is $55. He was brought to the shelter with his siblings who have all been adopted, but we have many more kittens to choose from to go home with Bill as he would like a playmate. Bill likes kids, other cats, and dogs, but mostly just loves to purr and be loved. He is also quite playful and is a very loving kitten. On Saturday September 18th from 11am to 3pm, Friends of Cats is having its 81st annual Open House. We will have fun and games such as kitten races, and our annual fundraising raffle with a handmade quilt as our grand prize. There will be refreshments, and a visit from pet artists Marna Schindler and Laura Seeley, who will also be providing prizes for the raffle. |

| Titus is a beautiful cream-colored purebred Labby who spent his entire life with a couple who recently handed him over to the rescue at the age of 10 after they lost their home. He's totally housebroken, good with cats, other dogs, knows his basic commands, he's not destructive, good on a leash and loves his toys. He's basically your perfect Labrador. Wally was rescued from a shelter where he was going to be killed without even a chance of being put up for adoption because he was too skinny and had a displaced hip. He's now received surgery for his hip, and he's putting on weight, and while they were in there doing surgery, they found out he was full of buckshot. No dog deserves that! He's just a sweet, gentle guy who needs a family who will love him. If you want to adopt one of these wonderful boys, the application fee is being waived. Titus and Wally were featured Big Dogs Rock Dogs. |

 |
Name: Dottie She's an active dog who loves going on walks, and will make an excellent hiking partner. She's obviously good with other dogs, or she wouldn't be able to attend the event. An ideal family would keep her as a mostly indoor dog, and spend a lot of time with her. Trivia Video |
 |
Name: Patches - update: ADOPTED! True to his breed, Patches is energetic and intelligent. He'd be good with a person who can take him for long walks or jogging. He knows his basic commands, and will be a good candidate for obedience or agility training and sports. Trivia Video |

| There was a time when little dogs were hard to find in shelters, and they flew out the door as soon as they showed up. But those days are gone. It's as hard for us to find a home for a Chihuahua, as it is to place a Pit Bull. They're just so over-bred, and so many are being dumped at the shelters. Alex is an 18-pound Chihuahua whose been available for adoption at the Escondido Humane Society since March...almost 5 months. He's a little shy when he first meets people, but if you let him come over to you, he'll warm up and be your friend forever. He gets along really well with other dogs, but would be best in a home without cats. He's still got a lot of puppy in him, but when it's time for relaxing, he's the first one on your lap...and generous with the kisses, too. There's only a little more than a week left in July to take advantage of the half-price adoption fees at the Escondido Humane Society. For example, Alex's adoption fee is just $55, and he's neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, comes with a free health check from a local vet, and a gift package that includes doggie treats, dog food, toys and a new leash, courtesy of the U-Store in San Marcos. You won't find a deal like THAT at a pet store. The shelter currently has a ton of little dogs like Alex. If he's not the dog for you, stop by the shelter at 3450 E. Valley Parkway to see all the other little guys. They're open every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and you can preview photos of their pets on the web at EscondidoHumaneSociety.org. They've had more than 200 adoptions so far this month, let's keep it going! |

| Shelly is a wonderful cat who is available for adoption at the El Cajon Animal Shelter, and like all the shelters, they are packed with adoptable animals. It's hard for a girl like this, who is 8 years old, to compete with the appeal of the younger cats and kittens, especially when there are so many to choose from. So we're hoping that this one shot on tv will inspire someone to give her a chance, and come to the shelter and adopt her. She has the best personality, in fact, she's so easy-going that she's their offical "office cat" now, and hangs out with the staff. She stays in her kennel at night, and in the front office during open hours. She lets people pet her, but never tries to get out or jump over the counter. She's been at the shelter since the beginning of March...5 months...and really needs someone to bring her home. She's good with kids, dogs and cats. She's a full-figured girl, but food is her favorite way to pass time. The Animal Control Officers really like her and want her to find a home. Please call or stop by the shelter. They're open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday on North Marshall Street, 2 blocks north of Fletcher Parkway. |

| Darth Vader was rescued last May from a neglectful owner in L.A. and seized along with 17 other Shetland ponies who were essentially unhandled by humans. He's been "gentled" by the volunteers, neutered and will make someone a perfect backyard pet. Darth has bright blue eyes and is very playful and cute. He's healthy, bright and ready for a forever home. His adoption fee is only $150. Falconridge Equine Rescue is the largest equine Rescue in San Diego County with more than 50 rescued horses.

He's about 4.5 years old, lively and enthusiastic. He loves everyone he meets and settles in nicely no matter what the surroundings. He's good with kids and great with other dogs. He adores his toys, and was an ambassador at the San Diego County Fair. For about 5 hours, he greeted people who came to the booth to learn about greyhounds, and enjoyed all the attention. He loves toys so much he thought all the stuffed toys being handed out as prizes were all meant for him. All dogs from the Greyhound Adoption Center have a complete medical evaluation before adoption. They're altered, fully vaccinated, have a dental cleaning, microchipped, and evaluated for temperament and personality. |
 CLICK HERE to see Sally on SAN DIEGO 6 ANIMAL HOUSEName: Sally Breed: German Shepherd Mix Age: 7 months old Sex: Spayed Female Organization: Animal Rescuers Without Borders Phone: (619) 977-3593 Website |
| Sally is a 7 month old, spayed German Shepherd mix puppy. She's only 30-pounds now, and may be 50-60 pounds when full grown. She was rescued 2 months ago from Baja Mexico where she was chained up in a backyard with no water in sight. Thanks to one of the Animal Rescuers Without Borders volunteers, she was saved and brought into a foster home in San Diego where she received medical care, vaccinations, and all the food and love she can get. Now that she's healthy and happy, she's ready to find a loving forever home with people who will treat her like family! She's great with cats, dogs, and children. She's very smart and loves playing for hours with her dog friends, then she'll settle down and sleep for hours...typical happy puppy. She is sweet and loves to cuddle. She's not a barker, but like any great Shepherd, will alert you if something is going on around the house. She's crate trained, mostly house broken, and loves car rides. She'll benefit from puppy training classes and will need a home with a yard to meet her energy needs. She walks well on the leash and would love a home with other dogs. Please call Animal Rescuers Without Borders to find out about their upcoming adoption event where you can meet Sally or learn about volunteer opportunities. |
 CLICK HERE to see Bubba on SAN DIEGO 6 ANIMAL HOUSEName: Bubba Breed: African Sulcata Tortoise Age: 15 years old Sex: Male Organization: San Diego Turtle & Tortoise Society Phone: (760) 738-8865 |
| Bubba is a 15-year-old, African Sulcata Tortoise. He weighs 35 pounds now, but he'll grow to be 150 to 200 pounds as he gets older. His life expectancy is 100 years, so, he very well may outlive us all. The requirements for adoption are a 20 X 20 foot area, and a heated house, like a dog house, because they need a warmer environment, being from Africa. They need to be kept outdoors, and they love to graze on Bermuda grass, grass hay, hibiscus, cactus and rose blossoms. There's a $25 membership requirement to the San Diego Turtle & Tortoise Society, but otherwise there isn't an adoption fee. Of course, you need a family committed to caring for him, and possibly passing him on to the next generation. |
 CLICK HERE to see Rose Marie on SAN DIEGO 6 ANIMAL HOUSE Name: Rose Marie Breed: Pekingese Age: 5-6 years old Sex: Spayed Female Organization: Chihuahua Rescue of San Diego Phone: (858) 277-3557 |
| Rose Marie is a pretty little Pekingese who's available for adoption from Chihuahua Rescue of San Diego. Because she's mostly blind in one eye, she has been overlooked by potential adopters who are worried about future expenses. However, the rescue took her to a specialty eye clinic for animals, and they determined it's an old injury, and not causing her any pain, therefore nothing is required medically. They say she's about 5 or 6 years old, and she weighs only 10-pounds. She's a beautiful girl who loves being the center of attention, and she gets along well with other small dogs and cats. She likes to go on walks, car rides, running up and down the stairs, and she's always happy to see everyone. She'll go potty outside if you take her out regularly, or she's also been trained to use a piddle-pad. If you'd like to adopt Rose Marie, you can call Chihuahua Rescue and leave a short message, or go ahead and get started filling out an application at RescueAChihuahua.com. They can also help you find a Chihuahua if that's what you're looking for. Believe it or not, Chihuahuas are about as hard to place as Pit Bulls because they're the two most over-bred breeds, and the rescues and shelters simply can't keep up with the amount of unwanted dogs. So please, if you have a Chihuahua, get it spayed or neutered as soon as possible. There are all kinds of free resources out there to help you with the expense. |

| Jerry is a short-haired kitty available for adoption from the Escondido Humane Society, one of the most crowded shelters in San Diego County. He was brought into the shelter on May 9th. He's a dignified older gentleman who enjoys the finer things in life, such as being brushed, having his ears scratched, and cuddling. If you are looking for the perfect lap cat, he's the boy for you. It's kitten season, and there are a lot of cute youngsters at the shelter looking for good homes.

That’s amazing when you consider that his adoption fee includes neuter, microchip, up-to-date vaccinations and a wellness exam. They've set a goal of 100 cat and kitten adoptions for June, and are more than half way there! Please help them make or exceed their goal.

| Mr. Krinkles is a super sweet cat who's available for adoption from the National Cat Protection Society, in Spring Valley. They saved him from another shelter just before he was going to be euthanized.. He's having a tough time finding a family because he's 10, and most people are looking for young cats and kittens...so he's got a lot of competition at the shelter. In fact, this is his second time on TV, so we're keeping our fingers crossed that someone will see him today and give him a place to call his own. He's microchipped, dewormed, defleaed, fully vaccinated, tested for diseases and heartworm, neutered, and litter-box-trained.. He's a very sweet boy, and he even loves kids. If you're looking for a nice, healthy older man, give the National Cat Protection Society a call, or stop by their shelter, which is open from Noon, to 4:30 p.m. |
 CLICK HERE to see Marcel on SAN DIEGO 6 ANIMAL HOUSEName: Marcel Breed: Labrador/Pointer mix Age: 2 years old Sex: Neutered Male Organization: Labradors & Friends Dog Rescue Phone: (619) 990-7455 or (858) 952-6845 |
| Marcel is a 2-year-old black Lab/Pointer mix. He was abandoned on the streets of South Central Los Angeles which was a very rough time for him. As a result of his time on the streets, he came into the shelter with a wound to his eye. Fortunately, it was treated months ago and is all healed. He still has the scar, but no medical treatment is needed. They say it gives him a very distinguished look and just adds to his charm. Marcel is a very active boy, but does settle down nicely. He loves to play and run. He is good with other dogs and kids, he even loves small children, but the rescue suggests that he'd be best with children who are at least 8 years old, just because of his size and energy level. They think a toddler could be knocked over by him...and they don't want him being returned for something like that. If you're toddlers are used to big, playful dogs, however, I'm sure they'd be fine with it. Marcel walks well on a leash when using a training tool and positive reinforcement. Marcel knows the basic commands, like sit, stay, down and wait. He's crate trained, housebroken and will make a great addition to a new family. Sadly Marcel has been with Labradors & Friends for quite a while. People pass him over at adoption events when they see his eye, it always seems to come up and that is really sad, especially since it's just cosmetic, and doesn't seem to affect him at all. Please call Labradors & Friends today to find out how you can be the lucky person to adopt this great boy! |
 CLICK HERE to see Miss Kitty on SAN DIEGO 6 ANIMAL HOUSEName: Miss Kitty Breed: Domestic Medium Hair Age: 2 years old Sex: Spayed Female Organization: Friends of Cats Shelter in El Cajon Phone: (619) 561-0361 X0 |
| Miss Kitty is a 2-year-old spayed female with medium-length hair. She was brought to the shelter by a woman who got her from a friend who just left her behind when she moved away. She's such a easy-going cat who likes other cats, loves to play, adores people, and likes to be given a good belly and chin rub. She's content sitting in your lap for hours. She's good with kids, and with her great personality, she may even like dogs. As with all legitimate agencies in our rescue coalition, the Friends of Cats shelter makes sure that all cats are spayed or neutered before adoption. They're up to date on vaccinations, test negative for any diseases, and they're microchipped. They also provide a pet carrier when you adopt, and after adoption, you will have a complimentary vet visit, so that you know you're new family member is healthy. The Friends of Cats Shelter is located in El Cajon, on Olde Hwy 80, just north of the 8, and east of Lake Jennings Park Road. They're open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day except Monday. Even if you can't adopt, consider visiting the shelter and finding out about volunteer opportunities. |
 CLICK HERE to see Lulu on SAN DIEGO 6 ANIMAL HOUSEName: Lulu Breed: Basset Hound Age: 8 months old Sex: Spayed Female Organization: Basset Hound Rescue & Adoption Phone: (619) 286-8638 |
| Lulu is a victim of the economy, as her family lost their home and moved into a home that didn't allow pets. By the way, a search for dog-friendly rentals in San Diego on Craigslist this morning brings up more than 1,000 listings....so please CHOOSE to keep your pet, and move into a pet friendly rental....they ARE out there. Lulu is just 8 months old, and still needs some training. She's a big counter-surfer, which means if you leave food on the counter, she'll try to reach it if she can....a bad habit that's easily remedied with training. She gets along great with other dogs, but she does play rough, like a big, clumsy puppy often does. She also likes to sleeping in bed with her people. If you're savvy about Basset Hounds and know a little about working with them and training them, that'll be a big plus. She does not like to give up her toys, so they recommend a home without kids who will try to grab things away from her. Again, this is another thing that a good trainer will be all too happy to work with you on, and it's just a matter of applying the rules and being consistent. In return, you'll get a beautiful Basset Hound, which is one of the most popular breeds because of their personality and adorable looks! We'll keep her info up on the San Diego 6 website until she's adopted, so if you know anyone looking, tell them where to find her. |
 CLICK HERE to see Elvis on SAN DIEGO 6 ANIMAL HOUSEName: Elvis Breed: Shepherd Mix Age: 8 months old (puppy) Sex: Neutered Male Organization: Animal Rescuers Without Borders Phone: (619) 977-3593 |
| Elvisis an 8-month-old, Shepherd puppy. He currently weighs about 35-pounds, which means he'll probably be about 50-60 pounds when he's full-grown. He was found in the streets and taken to a local shelter where he sat for 2 months without being adopted. He never barked in his kennel, and he was so sweet and gentle, but he was in danger of being killed, so Animal Rescuers Without Borders pulled him and placed him in a foster home. He's now crate trained, knows how to walk well on a leash, and he's a happy, playful puppy. He loves car rides, and gets along with other dogs and children. He'd be great for a family with a yard and time to play with him and take him to puppy training classes. His favorite pastime is playing tug-of-war. Animal Rescuers Without Borders will be having a BIG adoption event this weekend at the PETCO in Del Mar, just off Via Del La Valle, from noon to 3 p.m. Dogs, cats, puppies and kittens will be available for adoption, and if you can't make the event, you can visit them online to see the animals for adoption at A-R-W-O-B.org. All pets are spayed or neutered before adoption, vet checked, fully vaccinated, dewormed, deflead, microchipped, healthy and come with their health records. Some of the dogs are even licensed already. |

| Forest is a 3 year old, neutered male rabbit available for adoption from the San Diego House Rabbit Society. He's very active, friendly and funny. He'll need a roomy puppy pen for his housing, with plenty of toys to play with. He was abandoned a year ago possibly because he was digging and chewing, and didn't know how to use a litter box. Once the House Rabbit Society had him neutered though, those bad habits were eliminated, which is another reason to get your pets spayed or neutered...it makes them better companion animals, whether it's a dog, a cat, or a bunny. |

| Chandler was found as a stray in Escondido in March, and his owners never came in to claim him. He's been at the Escondido Humane Society since then, but the shelter is bursting at the seams with cats and kittens right now, and they're desperately asking for adopters and foster homes to come to the rescue. Chandler is a gray tabby mix who just might be the sweetest, friendliest cat you'll ever meet. He adores people and goes into an instant, loud purr as soon as he sees people coming to visit with him. On top of his loving, easy-going personality, he also has a slightly curled up lip that makes it look like he's smiling all the time. He enjoys the company of other cats, so he'll make a wonderful addition to a family who already has a feline in the home. His adoption fee includes neutering, microchip and full vaccinations. His adoption also comes with a free health and wellness certificate to use at a local vet. If you are interested in learning more about him please call the EHS foster coordinator at (760) 445-9047 right now, or take the entire family to the Escondido Humane Society on East Valley Parkway to meet your next best friend. They're open 7 days a week to make it easy for you to find a perfect match. |

| Licorice is a 2-year-old Chihuahua that was attacked by a large dog and sustained injuries to her neck. She was taken in by Chihuahua Rescue of San Diego, and has fully recovered from her physical injuries, though she's still a bit afraid of big dogs. She doesn't mind cats, however, and she loves to play with other small dogs. She only weighs seven pounds, she walks really well on a leash, she knows how to use a doggie door, and loves to sit in someone's lap and be cuddled. She's been in a foster home long enough for them to know all about her, so when she's adopted, there should be no surprises, because she's already proved herself to be a wonderful companion. If you're interested in adopting Licorice, or one of the hundreds of other Chihuahuas available for adoption, please call Chihuahua Rescue of San Diego at 858-277-35-57 and leave a message. According to a recent poll done by Chihuahua Rescue, at least 500 perfectly healthy, young, wonderful dogs were euthanized just last week due to overcrowding at Southern California shelters....that's 500 in one week...and they were adoptable dogs. So please spay and neuter your pets, because no matter what kind of publicity is out there, perfectly healthy dogs are being euthanized every day in Southern California, and the only way to end the madness is by spaying, neutering and adopting from legitimate shelters and rescue agencies. |

| Hank is an 18-month-old puppy. Your guess as to his breed is just as good as ours. Maybe a Lab mix, maybe some pittie....I say he's 100% purebred, all-American mutt. He's a long, tall boy, with a tail that curls up over his back. He's got big ears, and he weighs 67-pounds. He was found as a stray, and nobody ever came to the shelter to claim him. Hank is crate-trained, extremely lovable, good-natured and fine with other dogs. He seems to love everyone he's ever met, adults and kids alike. He's just a big, goofy, lovable lug. Hank walks well on a leash and he's learning all his commands. He's energetic, playful and loves to play fetch. If you're interested in adopting this fantastic young dog, he's available through Aussies & Others Rescue. Even if Hank isn't the dog for you, call Aussies & Others and tell them what you're looking for. It may take months to match you with the perfect pet, but they'll do everything they can to find you whatever it is you're looking for. . |

| Ralphie is a happy puppy who is good with other dogs, cats, goats and children! He loves to lay in front of the fireplace, and he thinks he's going to grow up and be a lap-dog. He's already completely housebroken at just 4 months of age. He was taken to a shelter after experiencing head trauma, and Rottie Rescue pulled him from the shelter so that he'd receive the medical care that he needed. His eye had to be removed but there are no ongoing issues, and he doesn't seem to even know it's missing. All Rottweilers adopted from this organization are already spayed or neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, fully vaccinated, de fleaed, de wormed and temperament tested. |
 CLIICK HERE to see Sweetie on SAN DIEGO 6 ANIMAL HOUSE! Name: Sweetie Breed: New Zealand White Age: 18 months Sex: Spayed female Organization: House Rabbit Society Phone: 619-718-7777 Email: HRS@sandiegorabbits.org |
| February is National Adopt-A-Rescued-Rabbit Month, and the House Rabbit Society is asking you to adopt somebunny to love! Sweetie is a beautiful bunny girl who is a bit shy but very sweet. She's only 1.5 years old. This pretty girl came to the House Rabbit Society from a Missouri "Stone County" animal cruelty case, in which more than 100 New Zealand White bunnies were abandoned and left to die by a breeder. Sweetie was rescued, along with the others, and came with 13 other bunnies to California to be cared for by the San Diego HRS. Sweetie is definitely shy, but she LOVES to be cuddled and will sit in your lap quietly for some time. She's more comfortable with the calmness of adults, but could be okay with quiet, gentle children who will interact with her on the floor. She loves her fresh greens and they say she dances during her exercise time. If you have a quiet home for Sweetie, please contact the House Rabbit Society. They prefer to be contacted via e-mail at HRS@sandiegorabbits.org, and their website, SanDiegoRabbits.org has tons of information about proper care, housing, food, supplies, litter box training, and everything else you could ever want to know about owning a rabbit. Also, if you're not sure you're ready to adopt, find out how you can become a temporary foster home for a bunny in need. It's a lot easier to care for them then you think! |
 CLICK HERE to see Tilly on SAN DIEGO 6 ANIMAL HOUSE!Name: Tilly Breed: Greyhound Age: 5.5 years Sex: Spayed Female Organization: Greyhound Adoption Center Phone: (877) HOUNDSAVERS |
| Tilly is a 5.5 year old, red and white, purebred Greyhound who was brought to the Greyhound Adoption Center after her career ended at the Caliente Greyhound Racetrack. She had a full racing career, and is a little more mature than other ex-racing greyhounds at the center. Remember, however, that just because they spend their early years racing, that doesn't mean they're active dogs. Once they retire, Greyhounds are known for being big, gentle couch potatoes. Great housedogs! Tilly is very affectionate with people, so they call her the “Velcro dog” at the shelter. She can be a little bossy with other female dogs, and shouldn't be placed with small animals...but she is a great traveler. Like all dogs from Greyhound Adoption Center, she'll be spayed before adoption, plus she's up to date on all her shots. She's in excellent health, and the shelter evaluates all dogs for temperament and personality before matching them to a perfect family. |

| Spenceris a 2-year-old, scruffy Terrier available for adoption from the Escondido Humane Society. He's cute and small, weighing in at only 12-pounds, full-grown. He's been at the shelter since October, when witnesses saw a man in a truck open the door and dump him out at Kit Carson Park. His luck changed when the shelter was able to place him into a loving foster home, until a forever family can be found. He's housebroken, loves playing with his stuffy toys, and he gets along well with the other small dog in the house. He's crate trained and sleeps quietly through the night on his doggie bed. He's also an excellent walking partner. Like all dogs adopted from the Escondido Humane Society, he's neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, de-wormed, de-fleaed, and comes with a complementary health check from one of 20 local veterinarians. The shelter is open 7 days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the foster coordinator is personally taking calls on her cell phone for Spencer, so that nobody gets stuck in voicemail. So please call today to meet Spencer or one of hundreds of other pets for adoption at the shelter, which is located on East Valley Parkway, in Escondido |

| It's always a challenge to find a home for a senior dog, so I'd ask anyone watching today to please go to our website later and forward the link to this pet segment to every dog lover on your e-mail list, and ask them if they have room in their hearts and homes for this wonderful girl I'm about to introduce you to. Lizzy is a 12-year-old, 46-pound, female Shepherd mix, who is in a foster home through the Escondido Humane Society. Her foster family says she's a joy to have around...she gets along well with the other family dog, and the two children in the household. She's housebroken and crate-trained. They say she's obedient, smart and gentle. Of course she's spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, and microchipped. If you're interested in Lizzy, I'd ask you to call the foster coordinator directly at 760-594-7605 to make arrangements to meet Lizzy. I'd also encourage you to call her to find out how you, too, can become a foster for wonderful dogs, like Lizzy, who may be considered a little too old to compete for attention with all the younger, cuter dogs in a shelter environment. It's so important to place the senior pets in foster homes where they have a warm, loving environment, until a permanent home can be found. It costs you nothing....food and medical care is provided. Meanwhile, if Lizzy is not the dog for you, you can stop by the Escondido Humane Society between 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., 7 days per week, to check out hundreds of other dogs and cats available for adoption. And a big THANK YOU, on behalf of all the animals, to all the San Diego 6 Couch Potatoes who dropped off donations to the station for the Holiday Pet Food and Toy Drive. |

| Randall is a 3-year-old, neutered male cat who is available for adoption from the National Cat Protection Society, in Spring Valley, where he was dumped at the front gate, and left to fend for himself. He's in this shelter FULL of cats, and the truth is, he'd rather just be with people. Whenever visitors come to the shelter, he's right there, front-and-center, to greet them with a hearty meow. He doesn't seem to be interested at all in handing out with the other felines, though. So if you're not looking to fill up your home with animals, and you think you might be happy with just one, he may be the perfect match for you. His low adoption fee includes full vaccinations, he's been microchipped, de-wormed and neutered. Plus, he's already littter box trained. The National Cat Protection Society is located at 90-31 Birch Street in Spring Valley, and they're open Tuesday through Saturday from Noon to 4:30 p.m. |

Angelina is a beautiful Angora mix with soft, fluffy white fur. She was found on the streets of Escondido and had a dirty, sticker-filled coat. Since then, she's been cleaned and groomed, and she's ready to find a loving family who will keep her as an indoor pet. Angelina is friendly and sweet and, like all bunnies, needs gentle handling. She'll also require weekly combing to prevent mats. Her adoption fee is only $45, and she is spayed and microchipped. She also comes with a free certificate for a wellness exam from a vet who specializes in rabbits. Rabbits are considered "exotic" animals...a vet visit and spay surgery could cost someone hundreds of dollars...so the $45 adoption fee is a great DEAL. Please call Jenny at 760-749-42-79 to get more information on Angelina. For other types of pets to adopt, call the shelter directly at 760-888-BARK |

| Sundance is an 8-year-old, buff-colored American Cocker Spaniel who is a big bundle of love. Since being in foster care, he's lost 15 pounds, so you can imagine how overweight he was when he first arrived. Sundance and his buddy, Butch Cassidy, a black Cocker Spaniel who is also available for adoption, were found roaming in a desert neighborhood a couple of months after their owner passed away. Fortunately, a neighbor was able to catch the two, and get them to San Diego Spaniel Rescue where they were placed in foster care. Sundance is up to date on all his shots, he's micro-chipped, and neutered. According to his foster family, he's good with other dogs, cats and kids! Remember, if you don't feel you're financially able to adopt at this time, please call San Diego Spaniel Rescue and find out how you can at least become a foster home so that you can save spaniels like Sundance, until permanent homes can be found. |

| Rolo is a snuggly Pittie mix who loves his people, and he makes his foster family laugh when he tries to crawl unnoticed into their laps. He's under the impression that he's a Chihuahua. He adores children...he lives with a 5 year old, and a 20 month old child, and couldn't be more gentle with them. He loves to play with his Kong toy, and wrestle with his doggie family. He currently lives with three female dogs and he enjoys being the only boy in the house. He should really go to a home with a yard where he can run and play, because he probably won't be the best dog to take to an off-leash area as he tends to pounce on other dogs, and not everyone appreciates his exuberance. He's crate-trained and housebroken, knows his basic commands and enjoys going on hikes with his family. He's a perfect example of what makes a Pit Bull so lovable. Please call Pit Bull Rescue, San Diego today to learn about adopting Rolo, or go to their website to fill out an application! |

How adorable is this little guy? In addition to being handsome and the perfect size, he's good with dogs, cats and kids! George has been in a foster home since May, along with 4 other dogs and 3 cats from a severe animal hoarding situation, where a person had 200 dogs and 80 cats on a property in Mojave, CA. Fortunately, the courts allowed some of our local rescues to save the animals. When George was initially rescued, his coat was matted and filthy, so he was taken to a groomer who transformed him into the beautiful creature you see today. The people who are responsible for hoarding these animals are in custody and will be sentenced on July 8th, but there are still so many more animals who need help. Even if George isn't the dog for you, please call the rescue to find out how you can help another animal by becoming a temporary foster home. Update: George has Cushing's desease which is managed with medications that cost $60 per month. He is also on Thyroid medicine. With all that, he is just the happiest, fun guy with such a warm, funny personality and loves everyone and all animals as well. He now lives with 6 other dogs and 4 cats! |

Lelani was originally a stray who wound up at the shelter and caught the eye of a volunteer who called Pit Bull Rescue to pull her from the shelter and place her in a foster home, where she currently resides. She gets along with the other dogs and puppies....in fact, she's currently living with three other dogs. She's housebroken, crate trained, knows her basic commands, very affectionate and while she has a medium energy level, she's also pretty content just snoozing in front of the television with her people. She loves to play with her basketball, and is always up for a good game of tug. As with all legitimate rescue agencies, Pit Bull Rescue spays, neuters, fully vaccinates and micro-chips all dogs before they're adopted...so you have the confidence of adopting from a group who has been around for a long time in this community. |
