Joy
8 month old/Female/Weighs 25lbs. Expected to be 30-35lbs/Located in Thousand Oaks
Joy is a sweet girl who is timid with strangers. She is a delightful Aussie full of intelligence and know how. Easily underestimated, this girl will be amazing in the right home! She was rescued from a commercial breeder and was not previously exposed to many normal everyday experiences. Due to her shyness, she is not recommended for children, busy households or apt/condo settings. She will thrive with someone savvy with herding breeds who has the time to train and work with her. A home with a fenced yard is required. Joy is playful with her foster doggie siblings and will be best placed in a home with a playful well-mannered male dog (or two). She is unknown with cats. If you are interested in adopting Joy, please complete an adoption application.
Courage
6 month old / Male/mini / Currently weighs 18 lbs. We think he will stay small even when full grown. Maybe only reaching 20lbs./Located in Bonita
Courage needs someone experienced with fearful dogs. He is very shy but once he feels comfortable, he is a silly little Wigglebutt. He has been playful with his foster doggie siblings. Because of his extreme shyness, Courage is not recommended for children, busy households or apt/condo lifestyles. A fenced yard and another playful well-mannered dog in the household will help him feel more comfortable. Courage is from the commercial breeding industry so he has not experienced most normal everyday things. It will take time as well as guidance and is worth every effort! Courage will need a patient nurturing owner who can train him and draw him out. If you are interested in adopting this cutie, please complete an adoption application.
Elliott
3 years old / 35lbs / male
Elliott is a 3 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 sweet 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.

Courtesy Posts are dogs currently still with their owners or another rescue. If you think you might be a good fit for one (or more) of them, please follow the instructions listed in the bio.

Duma
Female / 10 months old / 27lbs / Located in Oceanside
“Duma is a very fun dog that loves to play and will be your best friend! She gets along very well with other dogs and loves to explore, go for long walks, and give snuggles. She is micro-chipped, current on shots and spayed. She should go to a home without young children as she is possessive of her food/treats. Duma has not ever bitten anyone to the point of injury, but she can be snippy if she thinks someone other than her main caretaker is trying to take her food away. We are confident that in the right home (without small children) she will thrive and bring loads of joy to your home.”
If you are interested in adopting Duma, please fill out our application and we will forward to her owner.
Duma requires a home with a fenced yard and someone able to engage and train with her. She does bark when people scare her. Respectful introductions are needed.
Archie
Male / 4 years old / Border Collie Mix
Per owner, “Archie is a 4 year old Aussie and border collie mix with lots of love to go around. He loves cuddling, playing with toys and water, and just being around his owners all the time. Filled with energy, he will always brighten your mood with his goofy personality. While he sometimes can get overstimulated from his surroundings, he is very well crate trained and knows to calm down. Archie is very loyal to his owners, always wanting to sleep by your side and night. While he occasionally barks when he is nervous or when he sees other dogs, he has never been aggressive. Following his natural instincts from his breed, he likes to sometimes nip at ankles but this can easily be redirected with a toy. When being groomed with clippers, he sometimes will “snap” at you because he is nervous but he has never hurt anyone. When you meet Archie you can easily see how sweet he is. He just needs to be with a family that is willing to put in the work to leash train him and build up trust.”
