Meet the pack...

This loving and comical pupper came to us as a foster with a few challenges.  He is  enthusiastic when it comes to offering afffection and gaining approval of humans. His eagerness to please earned him "Best Dog Trick" at a big festival where he competed against professionally-trained dogs. He's now trained to offer reminders, and excels at keeping track of time. He's a very special lifetime member of the pack.

Little Boy was insecure, but so very sweet when he came out of the shelter.  He's found confidence being part of a pack. He's a special boy, but we aren't going to talk about the sad things that make him special. For over a year, he's been close to perfectly healthy! He'll be a lifetime sanctuary resident so he can continue to receive immune-boosting care. 

We didn't know Moo was special needs when we reached out to the person rehoming her. We just felt she needed us. The reason why became apparent a while after we took her in. A surgery by a talented vet and lots of training have helped her become a truly healthy and happy member of the pack. Moo is now thriving and has a never-ending zest for life. 

Piper was one-day-old when I rescued her.  She was an unusual kitten with a big appetite for anything rubber (and certain textiles). We couldn't find anyone else willing to peeper-proof their home, so we took on the challenge of providing her a safe and happy home for life. Piper is the sweetest cat one could imagine. 

Vido was one-day-old when we took him in. He had some challenges, but he was super loving and always wanted to be "helpful" around the sanctuary (e.g. riding on people's shoulders as they did chores). When switched to a raw diet, he got stronger and blossomed into a big,  beautiful cat. We failed to find an adopter willing to continue his diet, so we took him on as a lifetime resident and cherished research subject.  We look forward to many more years of his love. 

The most snuggly muffin you'll ever meet.... but she doesn't like kisses.  Previous adopters gave up on her, but that's not because she was a bad dog.  She just has a lot of energy and needs to be kept focused to feel secure. Since she needs to work to be happy, she's been trained as a service dog. Belle guards and herds other pack members and, as the self-appointed "Cat Tattler", she lets us know when there's a cat misbehaving. 

Typical adoption fees are as follows:  

Conventionally-raised cats/kittens $99-199 Conventionally-raised Puppies $199-399 Conventionally-raised Dogs $99-299  

Holistically-raised pet $299 to $599  

Fees for holistically-raised pets are higher bcause it costs  more to feed them, we keep them longer, and we put extra handling into them. We do this becauase we know the holistically-minded adopter appreciates a well-rounded pet and will continue the level of care we provide. 

This little darling is a survivor. He held his own as a homeless puppy in tijuana until he was spotted looking unwell. With the help of a kind vet and some natural remedies, he kicked parvo's butt. He's blossoming into a magnificent beast. 

Koda is a gorgeous puppy who was saved from a life and death on the streets. She looks like a basenji mix. She is small-medium and may be about 25lbs when filled out. She needs to put on a few pounds before she can be vaccinated and spayed.  Adoption fee $129 includes spay, vaccines, and one sweet puppy.

Mama wags her tail so quickly we think she's part rattlesnake. She is a lap-loving diva who doesn't prefer to share her human with other pets. Mama wants to be fostered by a holisticall-minded dog lover in La Jolla. She needs a dog-savvy person and will need to come for regular visits so we can refresh her manners and check her body condition. She wants to be dominant with other dogs (especially females), so we also can work on that when she visits. She's on supplements for liver support and digestion. Natural-rearing/holistically-minded fosters only, please. She will continue her care at her vet in La Jolla, CA. Estimated monthly care cost $225.   

This conventionally-raised baby is available for adoption. Adopters  will be screened and  a home check will be done. No homes with children under 7, please.  Adopters who will take 2 kittens will be given preference.

Sorry we don't have good photos yet. It's hard to get them to sit still at 4 wks of age!  (She is several months old now)

 Big Twin could be available for rehoming to a holistic home. He can be nervous with new people and sounds so he would need some time to adjust to new places.  He had an allergic response to a bee (or something else he found in the catio). Other than that, he's been healthy. He doesn't like being away from his brother.   

The "twins" are very energetic and smart.  They love to purr and snuggle with eachother and people. $599 adoption fee 

This baby will be staying in sanctuary unless  an ideal adopter will like to take he and his brother home as a pair. He has a big appetite and needs a more controlled environment than his brother.  He'll be about 11 pounds fully-grown and his brother about 16lbs.

They could be available for rehoming to natural-rearing sponsors who will continue to raise them as part of the luckydog family and deliver their stool as needed for fecal transplant research. Cost to maintain them: Insurance approx. $50/mo, food approx. $240/mo other supplies at about $70/mo.
