Adoptable ARSD Dogs


Libi

Female / 40 lbs / 1 year old / Located in Bonita

Libi (LeeBee) enjoys pets, being brushed and playing with toys. She has been friendly with people and other dogs but needs slow introductions. She can be nervous with a lot going on. Libi will need a home with a fenced yard and no children. We do not know how she is with cats. Libi is good with her playful but polite male foster siblings. Libi will need an owner familiar with herding breeds. She is a very smart and special girl!


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 her foster siblings and would do best with a balanced friendly male dog about her size. She previously lived around outside cats but has not been around them recently. If they run, she will chase. Poppy is 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.
