This striking gal is Abbie, a 3 years old Cattledog mix. She weighs about 50 pounds and is 25 inches tall. She is loved, but finds herself not getting the attention and exercise she needs now that her family has a new baby. Abbie is looking for an active home to keep her busy. Abbie knows all of her basics:Sit, drop it, and leave it. She is also house trained. Abbie is very loyal and loving with her people. She can be shy meeting men, but warms up with patience. Like most herders, she prefers a polite introduction. As for kids, she lives with one and really wishes she didn't. She would prefer a home with older kids or no kids. Abbie lives with a small dog but isn't a fan. She likes dogs her size and larger. With larger dogs, she does like to play! It's possible Abbie may be good with cats. She seems to ignore cats when she sees them, but hasn't lived with one. Abbie is good on leash but pulls some. She also fetches, and likes to keep the ball until she wants to release it. She is a fun girl looking for more activity and even someone who would enjoy refining her skills with more training. Abbie is such a sweet girl and very smart. She's incredibly loyal and does a good job guarding her loved ones. She's also a great alarm clock as she will wake you up with many kisses. Abbie is ready to be someone's best friend. Abbie is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. She is located in Covina, CA and is ready to meet adopters who can meet and adopt here. We do not ship our dogs. A home visit and a vet reference are required.

We have some amazing dogs looking for just the right home.
To apply adopt a dog, you will be required to fill out an adoption questionnaire. We also require a home check and a vet reference. There is an adoption fee for each pet. The average adoption fee is $400 for puppies and $350 for adult dogs. All dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped.
We are a foster-based organization, meaning that all of our dogs are living with families in homes. We do not have a facility. Therefore, adoptions are made by appointment only.
