Super Smart and Sweet Lab Mix Up for Adoption In San Diego

Meet Dino Doppler, a 3-year-old, 63-pound, male, Labrador Retriever mix who is up for adoption at the Rancho Coastal Humane Society.

He was transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through the FOCAS (Friends of County Animal Shelters) program.

Dino is a mellow dog. Once he feels comfortable in his new home, Dino Doppler’s family should be prepared for him to become more active. Learn more about Dino here.

Dino Doppler will give you a kiss then roll around on the floor for a love fest. He might like having some kids to play with, as long as they respect his space.

The $145 adoption fee for Dino Doppler includes medical exam, neuter, up to date vaccinations, registered microchip, and a one-year license if his new home is in the jurisdiction of San Diego Humane Society’s Department of Animal Services.

Additionally, he has hosted and participated in many fundraising events including Paws in the Park, Dogs Golf Tournament that matches military veterans with service dogs and more. He started partnering with Rancho Coastal Humane Society 7 years ago because RCHS’ main goal is to encourage the adoption of animals into permanent, loving homes. RCHS’ adoption process is tailored to find the best match between people and pets and also promote humane ideals through education and community outreach pets and people.

If you have adopted a pet during COVID and are heading back to work, Rancho Coastal Humane Society has some helpful tips.

  • Help your pet adjust to your changing schedule. Begin by leaving your pet alone in a “Retreat Area” for a few minutes. Turn on some music or the TV. Every time you do this, increase your pet’s time alone.
  • Particularly with a new pet who you’ve never left alone before, watch for Separation Distress including destructive behaviors. Give them something to do, like a toy or a treat puzzle.
  • Older pets who have adjusted to your stay-at-home schedule might be more “needy.” Be patient. Give them lots of reassurance that everything is going to be okay.
  • If your dog has gotten used to 8 or 10 walks per day because you had nothing else to do, start cutting back. You can go for a walk without your pet. You still get your exercise, but it helps the pet adjust to the fact that things are changing.
