San Diego County Chapter's
Available Dogs

The dogs on this page are in the care of the San Diego Chapter. These dogs are located in San Diego County. All dogs listed on this page are currently available for adoption.

We currently have more dogs than available foster homes, so some of our dogs are in boarding. We are always looking for more foster homes. If you are not in a position to adopt, but would like to provide temporary housing for one of our "orphans", please consider Fostering.

We have indicated which of our dogs need foster homes. The "foster" icon will take you to our foster home application, just "click" on the paw! If you are interested in fostering a dog , please make sure you fill out our foster home application.

If you would like to become a "virtual" foster consider Sponsoring one of our dogs. You can also make a donation toward a specific dog's care by going to their bio page and using the donation button on their page. The donation will be earmarked for that dog's care!

This page is kept current with regular updates. Scroll down to see all our available Puppies, German Shepherd Dogs and Shepherd Mixes which we affectionately refer to as "Wannabees"!
