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.

Lucy
3 years old / 34 lbs / Female / Located in Santee (San Diego)
Good w/cats. Needs to be only dog
Lucy is a high energy fun loving girl! Once she knows you, if she’s not greeting you with a smile, she gives barks of happiness. Her favorite thing to do is have a frisbee thrown for her. She’s also a fan of a ball and loves belly rubs. Lucy is good around cats but needs to be an only dog. Like many herding dogs, she needs a few minutes to get to know you before interacting. If you have a fenced yard and no other dogs in your home and you would like to give Lucy a loving and safe future, please fill put our adoption application so we can forward to her owners.
Cassy
Bruno
3 years old / Male / 45lbs / Located in Huntington Beach
Bruno needs a new home because his family is not able to give him the time and attention he deserves. Per owner:
Bruno loves going for long walks, fetch and playing with ropes / durable chew toys. Lick mats are good too! Bruno is good with cats, people and other dogs. He is a true velcro dog who enjoys tons of love and affection.
Bruno knows his basic commands. He can resource guard his food or toys if you suddenly try to grab them. He also has a bit of an attitude around going into a crate. He is not destructive but definitely needs to be worked and exercised.
If you are interested in adopting Bruno and have no small children living or visiting your home, please complete our adoption application so we can forward to his owner.
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.”
