I am quite loving, though I'm a beast to dogs I do not know. I have lived at M2i, Trellis, Electra, Doma.

Rest In Peace Love!
12/28/06 - 03/22/14

I'm so beautiful! I'm not vain, I'm just repeating what I always hear. What's that? Did you say regal? Well now you're making my head big!

I'm a rescue!

OK, I'll admit it..I'm famous in East Village. The ladies love me, and I love the ladies! Room for two up here, wink wink!
I love downtown and always get to go for walks with my parents. I'm easy going, but for some reason I do not like Boxers! My parents tell me I'm nuts, that Boxers are great dogs. I must know something that they don't!
I once roamed the alleys of AR until I was rescued. After a good rest and lots of food, I returned the favor and adopted my forever Mom! We moved to Little Italy from Texas and are living happily ever after! 

I'm a rescue!

I love people, but I am not fond of other four-legged beasts. I can put up with them though, if I have to!

I'm a rescue from
2nd Chance Rescue

We can look out our floor-to-ceiling windows at all those pesky dogs on their way to Pantoja Park, but mostly we enjoy long uninterrupted naps, thanks to the Quiet Zone!

We're rescues!

This place with Dede and Devon sure beats that shelter in Bakersfield, where they thought I was a girl! Sheesh! Nope, I'm 16lbs. of all guy, and I am a lover!

I'm a rescue!

I love people, but I believe I'm a person, so I get nasty to the dogs... they're such dirty creatures! I love to go shopping, and appreciate all the compliments that I am used to!
I am very cuddly and can't help but follow mom around the home. Whenever I'm hungry I sit on the step stool in the kitchen, trying to train mom and so far, she's doing quite well. If I'm in the mood, I love to play fetch, and I purr the loudest when my mom plays with me!
I adopted the Burnett family 19 years ago! I can't believe how quickly time has flown. I love condo living and welcome every guest with a big meow. I especially love The Padres and can't wait for the new season to start!

I'm a rescue!

My Mom rescued me 5 years ago from the cages of the Corona Animal Shelter! Whew, that was a close call! Now I'm a snuggle bunny lap dog, I love living downtown making new human and animal friends. Say hi if you see me!

We don't understand the  phenomenon of loving people, OR, dogs. Some of these other pups need therapy! We say, why choose? We love them all! We're living our dream in our downtown loft!
My mom tells people I'm a bit dense, because I chase my tail and get confused sometimes. But I'm a love muffin, quite pretty, and very soft.
My friends call me Smudge..I wonder why? Apparently dad  thinks he's a comedian, but I don't see what's so funny about an inflatable turkey. Dad, maybe just stick to art!

Rest In Peace Sweetie!

I am just a little guy who LOVES everyone and everything. If you see me, make sure you say hi because I may not forgive you for ignoring me!
I'm a friendly pup, and am lucky to live with my two dads and get to go to work everyday in Little Italy. I am comfortable with men, women, and other furry creatures, but I have to warm up to you first. Once we're friends, we're friends for life! Yes, my eyes are different colors! #OsoTheTravieso

I have it made. I sleep where I want, get fed regularly (but still beg at all meals), bark at other dogs, and I make my owners follow me around with a plastic bag. I am in total control!

I recently moved to San Diego from Phoenix. While I do miss my old home, I have my mom with me, & all my friends moved with me too! I think I can get used to this!

I'm a rescue from
Desert Lab Rescue

 

I lived in Florida in this photo. Much to my dismay, though eventual relief, the sign behind me reads "Don't Feed The Alligators." I'm a great traveler, and a life saver! Yes, really! Service Dogs Rule!!

I am a Service Dog!

 

I love to go for rides in the car, and love to snuggle with Mommy at every possible chance I get!

(Ahh, so sweet!)

 

I am sweet Manolo Blahnik, but friends call me Piggy Master. I love to play chase around the house, and live for "cookie time"! I see you've already met my son,
<== Frankie.

I am such a cute little girl, I can't wait for Halloween!
 

I love dining out with mom and dad, in fact they even push me in a stroller! Me walk? Ha! Don't judge me. Spanish is my first language, but my adoptive parents patiently taught me to understand English. And yes, I'm named after THAT Curly.

I'm a rescue!

My name is Kimbo Darce Simpson. I'm a single guy & I'm always ready to mingle! I love to go for long walks through Little Italy, dining out, & playing fetch! My favorite NFL team is The Chargers. How am I still single?
I am soft. I am cuddly. I am laid back. Tummy rubs are my favorite thing. I like people, especially if they want to pet me. I love to eat (they call it over-eating), so recently my people have imposed a weight-loss diet on me. Yuck!
I'm nervous and energetic. I love to drink from the bathroom faucet! I'm very acrobatic and will do flips while jumping for a flying toy. I'm a great lap-sitter, but hide under the bed when strangers come to visit. And I'm terrified of the vacuum cleaner!
 

I've come a long way from my humble beginnings,  from the bottom of a dumpster! The only thing I love more than being told I'm a "good girl" is curling up on the couch with a good book. Oh, and waffles. I really love waffles!

I'm a rescue!

My name is Amor, and while I'm spunky and fearless, I'm also as sweet as can be. You can find me scampering through PETCO park when I'm not on Mom's lap. Make no mistake though, I am the boss, & I will make sure to let any hairdryer, skateboarder, or motorcyclist know it with my spirited bark!

Rest In Peace Sweet Amor!
July 2014

I'm Jaws, and I am a bit crazy. This photo doesn't do me justice, I'm so beautiful in person. I'm super friendly, and always greet Mom at the door. I'm not sure what I am, I act more like a dog than a cat. I love to be mischievious!

I'm Otis. Pimpin' ain't easy.
You can quote me.

I'm Milo. I have my Mom well trained. She comes when I call and I love to distract her when she's working from home. I live at La Vita with my brother, Otis. It's our condo -  Mom just pays the bills.

I'm a Cavalier / Poodle mix, a 'Cavapoo'. I was a Christmas present to my mom, but I view it the other way (mom was a Christmas present to me). I am the epitome of a lap dog, and am told a bed-piggy, all 39 pounds of me!

Have you met  the cover model of the 2014 Humane Society calendar? Well, now you have! When I'm lucky, I get to go to work with Mom in the Marina District!

I'm a rescue!
Rest In Peace Jan 2015

I love all the friendly people in San Diego, and I work in the hospice looking after those less fortunate. I am a qualified support dog, so I get to ride the trolley...YES!!!

I am a Service Dog!

I am a very friendly guy, and love long walks, dog parks, and helping mom work from home!

I'm Jade, I'm so sweet, and afraid of fireworks and other loud noises! I'm a skin cancer survivor, so  Mom doesn't let me sunbathe any more (a favorite past time). I love belly rubs, cuddling, small dogs, and naps!

I'm Millie, born in CA but been living in Brooklyn, and on a Pennsylvania farm for most of my life. Like all hounds, I'm a big sniffer and just a bit lazy! Now I'm back in CA...ah the good life!

I'm a very sweet and dignified gentleman. I just moved downtown with my mom and dad, and am loving spending so much time with them on long walks!

 

Rest In Peace Riley, you are loved and missed forever!
January 2017

I live by one simple rule: EVERYONE wants to meet me. If you look at me, I'll say hello. If you open your car door, I'll jump in. If you give me a treat, I'll go home with you. This sometimes upsets my  Mother, but she has nothing to worry about.  I LOVE her and will always come home for dinner and an ear massage.

I HATE skateboards and fireworks, but absolutely love people, AND other dogs! Well, unless you are my nemesis, the Miniature Schnauzer. And just my luck, there are a couple right down the hall! Mom, Dad, we need to move!

My original owners dumped me, said I was "highly aggressive and untrainable", which is the exact opposite of my personality. I love everyone, don't even comprehend the word aggression, and work with a trainer to teach other dogs about socialization and play, is all. about. the treats. #duh!

I am a Red Standard Poodle. I have my CGC (Canine Good Citizen), and I am working towards my CGC2. I love to volunteer at the San Diego Humane Society as a therapy dog. My little sister Lucy and I love walking Little Italy, we love the exercise and love meeting people!

I am a Service Dog!

 

I am a Brindle Standard Poodle, and am only six months old! So you know I'm still a wild puppy and don't want to grow up TOO fast! I am training with my big brother though, to be a therapy dog too! Charlie and I are high energy, fun loving nuts!

I am a Service Dog!

 

Look down and you may find me laying on my back in Little Italy, in an attempt for a belly rub from friends, or even  strangers.

 

This could have been tragic, I'm so happy I met my mom. I was in the shelter for two years, after being left for dead! I was a stray, 6 months old with kittens. In those days, people simply put us in metal boxes for animal control to pick up. I froze overnight, and in critical condition. I've battle horrible upper respiratory infection, and still to this day have lung and sinus damage. But I'm a trooper, and love my mom so much (I won't let her out of my site).

I'm a rescue from
SF Humane Society

 

I'm stubborn (so I'm told), likely due to my German breeding. I'm very loving, but even I'll admit I can also be a diva queen. Fetch with me once though, and you'll be my new BFF forever!

I did live at
Village Walk
(Moved to Boston but I may be back)

 

I enjoy barking, taking afternoon naps in the sun, and cuddling, playing rope and eating rawhides!
