Joy
8 months old/Female/Weighs 25lbs. Expected to be around 30lbs/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.

Hope
1 1/2 years old / Female/ 40lbs /Located in Bonita
Hope is hilarious! She is a happy girl who loves to wiggle her little tail and play, play, play. Whether she is making up her own game or removing the squeaker in her favorite toys, this girl make you laugh. Originally rescued from a commercial puppy mill, Hope still has a lot to experience but she is making up for lost time with her goofy personality. She will need someone with the ability and willingness to help her learn new things like going for a walk, getting in/out of a car, enjoying the luxuries of freedom within her house and yard etc. Hope has been very responsive in learning to come when called, fetch a toy (takes it to her own spot), sit and get pets. She is also crate trained. Because of her fearfulness, she will need a home with a fenced yard, no young children or other pets. With some time and comfortability, we think she will be fine around other dogs but she needs to get her own feet under her first.
If you are up for helping sweet goofy Hope, please complete an adoption application.

Chester
Chester
Male / 3 1/2 years old / 55lbs / Located in San Diego
Chester needs a calm home where he can get the exercise and training he needs. He enjoys going for walks, playing fetch / tug, trips to dog friendly places and playing with other dogs. Chester can be mouthy and recently nipped a child when they were playing and he grabbed the toy but got the boy’s hand accidentally. He is usually very friendly with people but like most Aussies, sometimes he can be a bit barky when uncomfortable. If you are able to give this athletic boy a loving home and happy future, please fill out our adoption application so we can forward to his owner.
Cassy
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.”
