Adoptable ARSD Dogs


Rosie-Ginger

Female / 10 years old / 49lbs / Located in Bonita

Rosie-Ginger LOVES people! She is good with everyone and loves saying “Hello!”. Rosie enjoys walks, car rides, being brushed / pet, hanging out, chews and of course, getting treats. She is an easy going lady. Previously socialized and non reactive, Rosie is fine around other polite non-dominant dogs but prefers people. She will chase cats. Rosie is a happy 10 year old Aussie / Golden mix, weighs 49lbs and is currently located in Bonita, CA. If you can open your heart and home to this lovely lady, please fill out our adoption application


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.

Duma

Male / 4 years old / 75lbs (working on losing weight) / Located in Chula Vista

“Duma is a very fun dog that loves to play and will be your best friend. She has a lot of energy! (Although I would say a normal amount of energy for an 8 month old Australian Shepherd). She gets along very well with other dogs and loves to explore, go for long walks, and give snuggles. She is micro-chipped, up-to-date on shots, and her spay is scheduled for October 20th. She should go to a home without young children as she is possessive of her food/treats. This resource-guarding issue is the reason we are needing to re-home her. Duma has not ever bitten anyone to the point of injury, but can be snippy if she thinks someone other than her main caretaker is trying to take her food away. As a result of this snippiness, we haven’t been able to allow her free-roam access inside the house and that is just not the quality of life she deserves. 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 is a teenager learning to cope. 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.”

If you are interested in adopting Archie, please complete our adoption application so we can forward to his owner.
