8 moths old / Male / 27 lbs (expected to be 35-45 lbs)

This almost eight month old cutie has a lot of love and happiness in his heart. He currently weighs about 27lbs and is expected to be 35-45lbs. While Chippy is very timid in new situations, he really comes alive when comfortable. He is bouncy, bright eyed and happy tailed with his friends! Chippy loves to get pets, play with toys and chase his foster siblings. At this time, we are looking for a quiet home without cats, small dogs or young children. Chippy will need a fenced yard and someone who is experienced with young border collies. With love, direction and training, Chippy is going to be one AMAZING boy!  Are you interested in adopting Chippy? Fill out our adoption application.

This sweet one year old aussie / border collie / cattle dog (?) mix will capture your heart in the warmest and silliest way. She is 40lbs of love and laughter! Kacie knows how to enjoy the moment.

If you would like to add this sweetheart to your family, please fill out our adoption application.

Located in the Bonita area of San Diego


Poppy

1 year old / Female / 40 lbs

This girl definitely has a spring in her step! She loves pets, treats, toys and playing fetch. Poppy was rescued from a situation where someone had a lot of dogs and as the numbers grew, the training and outside socialization decreased. Poppy is getting used to normal things like brushing and walking on leash in a known environment. She is going to need someone extra special to help her grow and learn. Poppy plays well with balanced friendly dogs her size. She previously lived around cats. Not recommended for homes with small dogs, chickens or young children. Fenced yard required. No apartments or condos please. Poppy may need a couple meetings before she is comfortable enough to go home with someone new. If you are close to San Diego and interested in Poppy, please fill out our adoption application


Elliott

2 year old / 35lbs / male

Elliott is a 2 year old deaf 35lb border collie mix. Elliott is very affectionate and loves to get pets and cuddles. He has learned basic skills like how to pay attention and follow commands using standard hand signals. This boy will need an owner who is home most of the time and the security of a fenced yard.

Elliott is a terrific hiking buddy, playmate and best friend for hanging out. His foster family calls him “fun size” and everyone simply adores his sweet nature.

Elliott thinks it’s ok to grab toys from his foster siblings and sometimes grabs fur when playing chase. He does it all in fun. However, because he is deaf, he does not hear the warnings of his playmates, nor does his young mind pay attention to subtle cues from the other dogs. This youngster will chase small animals and pester senior dogs. He should initially be the only dog in the home; no apartments or small children.

Swayze

3 years old / 45 lbs / female

Swayze is a sweet but fearful girl who was completely shut down when she arrived. She is making good progress in her foster home but still does not open up to new people. Swayze will need a very special someone who understands how to work with scared and shy dogs. She loves to eat, receive pets, be brushed and take naps close to her person. Swayze has been fine around her foster siblings but likes her own personal space. Unknown with cats but will definitely chase squirrels!
