Story
I may be getting on in years, but I like to think I’ve aged into a fine old shepherd. A little slower on the legs, sure, but richer in wisdom and far more appreciative of the small joys in life. These days, nothing brings me more contentment than settling in with my people, letting the world quiet down around us. I’ve learned the art of calm. Oh, and treats. I enjoy them with the reverence of someone who knows each one is a gift: the crunch of a biscuit between my teeth, the gentle hand that offers it. I like to think my presence keeps the energy grounded. I’m not here to herd anymore, not in the old sense, but I still guide the mood of the home, reminding them to slow down, to take a moment, to just be. If my tail thumps a bit when they sit beside me that’s just my way of saying I’m happy right where I am. Growing older has its aches and limits, but it’s also given me this: a softer life, a calmer pace, and the company of the people I love. And for me, that’s more than enough.

Story
Luna and Bella are both very sweet girls, both under 1. They both know how to sit and are crate trained. Both of them have a strong prey drive that could be very handy for hunting. They both also love to cuddle, are very playful, and have massive training potential. We would love for them to go to a home that has some experience with big dogs in general. They do know how to walk with a leash but tend to pull so we put a head harness on them. We will include their food bowls, crates, food container and outside bed. We sadly can’t keep them because we have 3 small dogs and are unequipped for their energy levels. They are both neutered, microchipped and all vaccines are up to date including rattlesnake. Please contact me for more information about them. Our location is in southern California. Chula Vista, CA

Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We have had Kona since she was 5 months old. She is now 9 yrs old. She is a sweet girl but in her old age has recently become aggressive with our second dog. We now have two small children and are unable to keep her with the potential safety risk she imposes for them. It breaks our heart to see her have to be rehomed in her old age but for her safety, the safety of our other dog and most importantly our children- this is what is best for Kona. Kona’s ideal home would be without other dogs or children. She is great with small animals (birds, cats, fish, chickens etc.) we have had all of these animals throughout her lifetime and she has done very well. Kona is bike trained and loves to go on bike rides, long walks, hikes and the beach. Her favorite toys are a tennis ball and Frisbee. She is still very active in her old age and would do well with someone who enjoys the outdoors but also likes to cuddle in the evenings. She’s primarily indoors overnight but can be outside during the day.

Story
Hi there! I’m a lively shepherd who absolutely loves going on long walks! There’s just so much to sniff and explore out there! I get super excited whenever I hear the leash jingling because I know treats and adventure are coming my way. Speaking of treats, I’m a total foodie and always happy to earn a snack or two for being a good pup. When I’m home, you’ll find me chewing on my favorite toys or chasing after them like I’m on a mission. Just one thing... I’m not really into making friends with other dogs. I prefer to keep my circle small and focus on the humans I trust. But if you’re up for a fun walk and some playtime, I’m your dog!

Hey there, my names Chester!! I came in not that long ago but feel like I should`ve been adopted by now! I`m sweet, cuddly and so so social. What more can you want? I even have three legs!! That`s how unique I am. :) I`ll be your best friend until the end. Since I am becoming an old man, my hips don`t feel as good as they used to. So joint suppliments and some stuff like that would help me feel amazing. Come check me out!

Story
Hi there. I’m Willow. I’m a shepherd, and yeah, I’ve got a few spots where my fur’s a little thin. It’s okay, though; my people say I’m still handsome, and I think they’re right. I’m not the kind of dog who rushes up to everyone right away. I like to take my time.. sniff things out, watch, and make sure you’re safe and kind. Once I decide you’re a friend, though? Oh, you’ll have a shadow forever. I love leaning into people I trust, feeling their hands scratch behind my ears or rub my chest. That’s the best feeling in the world. Playtime is great too!! Tug toys, fetch, even a good roll in the grass. But I also love my naps. There’s something about curling up in a sunny spot or next to my person that makes me feel peaceful and happy.A nd snacks? Don’t even get me started on snacks. I’ll do just about anything for a crunchy treat or a piece of cheese. Life’s pretty simple when you think about it. A few good people, a soft place to rest, and something tasty to munch on. That’s all I need.
