3. Sampson
MEET SAMPSON, A LITTLE SURVIVOR WITH A BIG HEART! ❤️
Sampson is a handsome 10-pound 3 yr old Poodle mix who has beaten the odds in ways no little puppy should ever have to.
He had owners, yet he was still abandoned on the streets to fend for himself.
What could a 5-month-old puppy have possibly done so wrong to endure this kind of heartbreak?
His old tag said Oreo, but he is now our brave Sampson.
He fought his way through starvation on the streets until he was rescued.
But the unthinkable happened, while out there all alone, he caught distemper.
Read more about Sampson
Distemper takes so many. But Sampson was rescued for a reason, and he was so, so worth fighting for!!
Today, he is truly the happiest, bravest boy we know
Yes, the virus left him with nerve damage in his lower legs. But watching him go from complete lameness to getting up, walking, wobbling, and actually playing... words can’t even describe how much joy that brings to our hearts. Every little wobbly step he takes just shows us there is so much hope for his future.
What is most breathtaking about Sampson is that none of this agony took away his beautiful spirit.
He is so deeply affectionate, trusting, and just desperately wants to be loved.
He walks right up to everyone he sees, ready to give his sweet heart away, and he is so happy just to be held by anyone willing to wrap their arms around him. Everyone who met him today absolutely fell in love with him!
After everything this sweet little boy has endured, I know in my heart his special person is out there. ❤️
He deserves a safe, soft, loving home where someone will cherish him, protect him, and hold him tight for the rest of his life.
Sampson has survived the hard part. Now, he just needs someone to love him forever.
If Sampson has touched your heart, please fill out an adoption application at tlck9rescue.org
Please SHARE his post, let’s help this brave little boy find the home he fought so hard to reach!
Thank you TLC K9 Rescue

23. Justice
Justice is sponsored by the 15/10 Foundation which will cover all medical costs associated with her broken leg. Sweet Justice came to us after being hit by a car and was taken to our vet partners.

She has been a wonderful mama to her puppies but her puppies have since moved to another foster home so Justice can properly recover. She is around 3 years old and we believe she is a Lab and Terrier mix. Justice is housetrained, crate trained and gets along well with other dogs.

24. Blue
Blue's came to us absolute broken. He lived on the streets of TJ where people passed by yet didn't have a heart to give him a morsel of food to eat. When we found out about him and realized the horrible condition he was in we couldn't turn our backs on him. After proper vetting, medications and healthy food we started to see the blue in his eyes shine. So we named him Blue.
This boy does not have a mean bone in his body, but shelter life is not for any dog especially in TJ. Blue, needs a foster or family to call his own. He needs patience and a loving hand that will help him blossom. Are you that person/family? If so then please apply to foster or adopt Blue at tlck9rescue.org

25. Snipes
Snipes is 6 years old and weighs 53 lbs. He is good with other dogs and good around people. He is friendly, active, playful and outgoing. Snipes was adopted from BAS in 2021 and returned in 2026. He developed glaucoma in one of his eyes and the eye had to be removed. His owner retuned him because he started working long hours and didn’t feel like he could give Snipes the time and attention he deserved. He had the eye surgery on 2/16/26 and is doing great!
He has slight separation anxiety so he would do best in a home with another dog or dogs.
If you would like to meet this dog you can read about our adoption process and submit an application on our website at: http://www.bajaanimalsanctuary.org/dogs.htm

26. Mini
Meet Mini — A Tiny Girl Who Truly Deserves Her Happily Ever After ❤️
When we found little Mini on the streets of Tijuana, she was absolutely starving. It was obvious that this precious 10-month-old puppy had been dumped and left to fend for herself.
During her veterinary exam, we discovered that Mini was pregnant. She was far too young, weak, and severely malnourished to safely carry her babies. Sadly, because her little body was so depleted, she lost her babies.
My heart broke for this tiny girl. She was still just a baby herself, yet she had already endured hunger, abandonment, and the loss of her puppies.
But Mini’s story doesn’t end there. ❤️
Read more about Mini
Today, she is safe, healthy, and finally getting the chance to simply be the puppy she was always meant to be.
And what a wonderful little girl she is! Mini is playful with all dogs, wonderful with cats, and I’m absolutely certain she would be wonderful with children, too. She has been fully vetted, vaccinated, and microchipped.
After everything Mini has been through in her short life, all she wants now is what every little dog deserves — a family to love her, a warm bed to sleep in, someone to spoil her, and a place she can finally call home.
Her beginning was heartbreaking, but we are determined to give her the happy ending she deserves. ❤️
Apply to foster or if youd like to give Mini her forever home apply at: www.tlck9rescue.org
Please help us find this tiny girl the family she has been waiting for.

Why adopt an adult dog in Oceanside
An adult dog's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are already house-trained.
Grown dogs need less supervision than puppies and often know the basics, like sitting and walking on a leash, which suits people who work or have young children.
