Story
Cooper is an intelligent, loyal, and affectionate boy who forms a strong bond with his person and loves being part of a routine. He knows all his basic commands, settles easily in his crate, and enjoys being near his people without being overly clingy. Cooper can be protective and slow to warm up, but once he trusts someone, he becomes a loving, playful companion who lives for a good game of fetch. His interactions with other dogs vary, so slow introductions are best, and he’ll thrive with an experienced owner who can give him plenty of exercise, structure, and mental stimulation. Cooper is a bright, energetic dog with so much heart he just needs the right person to help him shine. *Courtesy Post* If you're interested, please contact Simone at (619)818-1173 or sfederici17@gmail.comNovember 11, 2026, 2:16 pm

Story
Maze is a German Shepherd and Belgian Malinois mix, who I believe is around 3 years old and weighs about 60 lbs. She is a very active, goofy, and sweet dog. She grew up with a 5 lb sassy Chihuahua, an older pit bull mix, and another Australian Border Collie rescue of her age. Maze gets along well with other dogs and loves socializing with them; her favorite places are dog beaches and dog parks. The pet sitter she stays with has other dogs and has communicated that Maze has been getting along seamlessly with them and the other animals she’s been sitting for. She's friendly with people, though tends to be a bit shy when new guests arrive; she just needs a little encouragement to say hello. Once she warms up to someone, she’s all about kisses and cuddles. Maze truly deserves a loving home, especially with someone who leads an active lifestyle, as she has plenty of energy and affection to share. Although she hasn’t had much interaction with young children outside of dog parks, she has been around older kids and has done well with them, as her neighbors were all over the age of 10 and would occasionally play with her. If interested in this amazing girl please reach out to Monet 760-712-2753 monetrshih@gmail.comMarch 8, 2026, 8:45 pm
