“Kaia” is a senior sweetie that would do well in a variety of homes. She enjoys a soft bed and being around her people. She does well with other dogs but is selective so would recommend a meet and greet first. And food? Now you’re speaking her language. Just be sure to keep it out of reach as she has a tendency to help herself when left alone. House trained and gentle when taking treats, she is a polite lady. Call today to make an appointment to meet this gorgeous girl.

Kaia comes up to date on vaccines, dewormer, microchipped and is spayed.

***UPDATE: BALOO HAS BEEN ADOPTED. Thank you to everyone who shared this post ❤️***

Hi, my name is Baloo!

You may know me already as I became quite the internet sensation when an alarming photo of me was shared online. Although there has been a lot of misinformation spread about me, I am immensely grateful for everyone's concern for my health and well-being. Thank you to everyone who reached out to check on me ❤️
This post is not about my past, it's about my present and my future.
Since being surrendered to the shelter I have been receiving much needed love and care, and have even gotten to go home with one of the staff on occasion. As you probably know, I was in desperate need of putting on some weight. I am looking and feeling much better now, although I still have a long road ahead. Very recently I became available for adoption! I am so excited to finally be able to go home, but it seems like my fame has faded and no one wants me anymore 😥
I promise that I am a good boy. I have so much love and energy to give, I just can't seem to find the right person to embrace me and my big goofy self. I love cookies, and squeaky toys, and I love walks and I love to be with people! I am still learning my manners, but I am very eager to please. I will admit, I do pull on the leash, like a lot 😬 I promise I'm working on it. Also, fair warning, I eat A LOT, you may need to get a second job 😅 On a positive note, I do know some commands! Sit and paw are my favorite. I take my job of loving you very seriously. I will absolutely follow you everywhere you go (yes, even the bathroom) to make sure that you are okay and I am available to you for hugs and kisses every second of every day. Can you come adopt me? For forever this time please 🥹

Please call the shelter at 760-725-8120 for additional questions, or to schedule a viewing with Baloo. He will do best in a home without small children, and we are not sure if he gets along with other animals. We plan to set Baloo up for success and we are going to be selective on his new home.

***ADOPTED 04/10/2026***

Freddie Mercury came to our shelter as a stray and is now in search of a forever home. Freddie is a typical Doberman and can be a bit weary of strangers at first, but he quickly warms up to become your velcro companion. Freddie wants to be where you are, all day every day. Freddie does have quite a bit of energy, typical of his breed, and needs a home that can provide him with regular exercise. Freddie gets along well with other polite dogs and is very eager to please, he loves treats! He would make the perfect companion for the right person. If that person is you, please give us a call at 760-725-8120 and we will arrange a meet and greet.

Although Dobermans are allowed on base, Freddie Mercury will need to be adopted off-base due to base housing breed restrictions.

Are you looking for a big goofy goober!?

Axel is your guy! This fine young gentleman came into our shelter as a stray and we do not know anything about his past. We do know that he is a sweet lovebug. Axel loves going for walks and hanging out with his people. He is pretty easy going, but could use some work on his manners as he does not always realize his size. We do not know if Axel gets along with other dogs, and believe he will do best in a home without small children that can be easily knocked over. Due to his breed, Axel must be adopted to live off-base. Please give us a call at 760-725-8120 to meet this handsome boy ❤️

***ATHENA HAS BEEN ADOPTED 3/11/26***

Meet Athena!

Athena is a Cane Corso Presa Canario mix and is about 7 months old. She is a very sweet girl in desperate need of love and a forever home. Athena was surrendered to our shelter as a stray, it was later discovered that the people that surrendered her were, in fact, her owners. Her previous owners claimed that she was aggressive and admitted to treating her poorly. Her life was mostly confined to a kennel while in their care, and she came to us underweight. Needless to say, Athena is in much better hands now. She has discovered what it's like to be loved and to trust people again. Athena is a PUPPY and will require extra training, patience and care. She will be a large dog once fully grown. If you are interested in her, DO YOUR RESEARCH. This girl cannot handle any more heartbreak, DO NOT reach out to us if you are not prepared for a LIFELONG commitment of owning and raising a puppy. If you are a good and responsible person looking for a forever friend, please give us a call at 760-725-8120 to meet Athena.

For more information on Athena, please check out her PetFinder:

***ADOPTED 02/21/2026***

Lillian is a gorgeous Husky mix (look at those eyes 😍), and SO FLUFFY. Seriously, we're not sure how she got her cloud-like coat, but it must be one of the softest substances on Earth. Lillian has been patiently waiting for a home, but no one seems to have the energy to match hers. If you're not familiar with the Husky breed, please DO YOUR RESEARCH. Lillian loves a good walk, and we're pretty confident she'd like a jogging partner even more. She does get along well with other polite dogs, and is extra sad now that her buddy, Cortés, got adopted. Lillian is extra smart (like most Huskies) and does know how to keep herself well-entertained. She knows how to open gates, and is quite the fan of digging. Thankfully, her fur is also self cleaning somehow, one minute she's covered in mud and a couple hours later it's as if nothing happened. This girl is ready for her next adventure, could that be you? Please give us a call at 760-725-8120 if you'd like to meet her.
