Named after the Spanish word for ‘beach’, Playa is a playful and sweet 1.5 year old German Shepherd mix who joined the Woof Gang after being surrendered by her previous owners after they realized they were unable to provide the adventurous life that she needs. She has completed a board and train previously with another local trainer in the San Diego area, but was having a hard time with a lack of structure and boundaries that she could understand at her previous home. Her training is top-notch, there isn’t anything this pup can’t do! She is reliable off-leash in the busiest of environments, sharp and precise in doing obedience as well as tricks, and could easily excel in any number of dog sports.
Playa is a sweet pup, who will greet you with kisses and lean on you for scratches once she is comfortable with you… she loves to take nice, long walks or adventures with her handlers. She is currently being tested with other large breed dogs, and shows a fair amount of neutrality. She may be well-matched with a family who has an older dog to show her the ropes of fitting in, and an active family committed to upholding the immense amount of training that is being put into her by our trainers.
Playa is available now, fostered out of San Diego, CA and would love to meet you!

We are a working breed dog rescue run by professional dog trainers. Trust someone with experience and extensive canine knowledge to match you with your perfect pup! Working breeds have not been breed to be pets. Often times these dogs end up in the shelter because they have not been given a job to do as was intended for their creation. We are here to save dogs who have been subject to this situation and educate dog lovers on how to live with, handle, and train these magnificent creatures!
We find dogs that have been flagged for euthanasia in the Southern California high kill shelters and foster them for 1-2 months. During this time we train these dogs and work on any behavioral issues they may present with as well as completing an advanced obedience program through Shades Of Blu Dog Training. (IG: @shadesofbludogtraining) The dogs are available for adoption after completion of a training program and a careful selection of the right home for the dog.
We also offer comprehensive programs where we will find you your perfect dog based on your preferences and lifestyle, train this dog for you, and then give you the tools you need to maintain a happy life with your new fur baby.
As an adopter through either service we offer comprehensive guidelines and suggestions and provide you with all the information and expertise you will need to continue life with your new family member.
All of our dogs go to their forever homes with training, up to date on shots, spayed/neutered, with an active pet insurance account through nationwide pet insurance, comprehensive veterinary testing to include heartworm testing, fecal testing, and blood work. Additional DNA testing is available upon request.
If you are a disabled female veteran interested in a trained service dog please contact us as we are able to get you in touch with our Service Dog organization.
