Adoptable ARSD Dogs

Chief

9 years old / Male / 60lbs / Located in Valley Center
Chief is a handsome and sweet guy! He is good around other dogs and loves having dog friends.

Chief walks well on a leash and thanks to his foster family, he has become comfortable on car rides. Chief is crate trained and has good house manners.

This is Archie. He is a beautiful, 8 year old Australian Shepherd. He walks on a leash, is very kind and gentle. Archie is overweight . He has been left out in the backyard most of his life. He is good with a female dog who is his pal. He was given up due to his owner moving. He will be on a diet and getting some easy exercise at the rescue. Archie is longing for a home.

Ruby Blue

7 yrs 10 months / Female / 45 lbs / Located in San Diego
Per owner: Ruby Blue LOVES people but needs to be the only dog in her home. She is polite and tolerant of other dogs in public though.
Ruby’s favorite activity is playing ball (the big blow up ones, not tennis balls) and frisbee. She also loves walks and going to the beach. She likes to cuddle on the couch in the morning and evening for short periods of time and she is pretty low maintenance for a border collie. Ruby does take Proin for bladder leakage that she has had since she was a puppy after her spay. She would need someone with a yard and ideally a doggie door because she is a dog that tends to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. She sleeps either on the couch or on the floor and has never been one to sleep in the bed with us as she moves around a lot during the night. If you can give Ruby an amazing home where she can be an only dog and you have a fenced yard, please fill out our adoption application so we can forward to her owner

Dewey

Approx 2 years old / 53lbs / male / located in Santa Barbara

Courtesy Post for our friends at Aussie Rescue Networking Group (ARNG) in Santa Barbara.

This gorgeous boy with one blue eye and one brown eye is athletic and affectionate.

Dewey would benefit from some basic obedience training, but he’s willing to learn and is super affectionate. He gets along with the foster dogs in his temporary home and did really well at the coffee shop meet and greet last week. Dewey would be an amazing hiking companion. He is not recommended for very young children or cats. Dewey is neutered and utd on vaccines.

If you are interested in adopting Dewey, please email dogadopt21@gmail.com
