IMPORTANT-SAFETY FIRST!
Fast Facts can be used as a guide to a dog's temperament, however every dog is an individual and will react to different situations in a unique manner. Although we do our best to evaluate a dog's temperament, we have not seen every dog in every possible situation. Please approach any unfamiliar dog with caution, particularly when you have children with you. Always ask an adoption counselor for guidance when interacting with dogs at adoption events or handlers for guidance with dogs in any situation, anywhere. Remember, safety first!

Cane was purchased as a puppy in Italy, and by one year of age he is no longer wanted. Tied in a yard on Coronado, he somehow managed to find his way to La Jolla. He was sore and skittish, and was taken to the San Diego Central Shelter. Thanks to extraordinary efforts by local and Italian residents, because the owner didn't keep his microchip information up to date, the owner was traced to Coronado. SignOnSanDiego.com reported "Owner of lost dog from Italy found in Coronado." The owner decided he didn't want Cane back. He's now expecting a child and Cane is on his own.
An SCGSR volunteer dropped everything to pick Cane up from the shelter and get him to our vet. He does not appear to be injured, but is very unsettled by his experience. He will be getting a lot of TLC and will stay with our vet overnight to make sure he's okay. Cane will receive the love, training and socialization he needs and deserves from our volunteers.
If you would like to help Cane on his journey to a loving forever home, you can make a donation here.
We will post periodic updates on Cane's progress and have more photos soon and we thank you for your support!
6.28.10: AMAZING CANE! See Cane say hi to Norma in his amazing Youtube premier! Cane is staying with our vet right now and he's made so much progress, he is no longer afraid and feels comfortable and happy. It costs SCGSR more money to leave Cane with our vet, but we don't have the heart to move him until we find a foster home. Can you help Cane? Please make a donation in Cane's name now.
If you would like to meet one of our dogs, please read the following information. The first step is for you to fill out our online application. This is the
starting point in adopting from SCGSR. We strive to keep our website current within 24 hours. If you see a dog on our site, it is most likely available. The more information you give us about your dog experience, your home, your fence, children and other pets, the better we can do to match you with one of our dogs. Keep in mind that we may be working with prior applicants, and be patient. We are all volunteers and we will try to respond within 72 hours.
Our adoption donations are tax deductible and range from $300 to $500. Dogs will be spayed or neutered, current on vaccinations, and in most instances they will be microchipped. To those big hearted people willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems, we will work with you on adoption donation amounts.
The adoption process involves an application, a telephone interview, a meeting with our dogs and then a home and fence check. In certain cases photos of your house and yard may be substituted for a home check. SoCal Rescue typically does not adopt puppies outside of San Diego County, so that we can provide continued support to adopters as puppies grow up. Adult adoptions out of area will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
