Story
I am a traveling electrician. I am 24 years old and unfortunately work takes me all over. I used to have a local job, however, I have to take work where I can get it now. Bo stays with my parents for short periods of time but he needs a family that can love him full time. It hurts me to do this but I have to do what’s best for him. He is an amazing, smart boy. He is 2 1/2 years old and he loves to play fetch with a ball or frisbee. He IS NOT aggressive at all. It amazes me how calm and collected he is around other dogs and people. He loves to play with other dogs. He loves unleashed walks and his recall is impeccable. I take him on hikes off leash all the time. He truly is one of the smartest dogs I’ve ever seen. He is shy with new people but once he warms up to you he thinks you’re his best friend.

Shadow

Border Collie Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 3 yrs 10 mos
Oceanside, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Shadow is a high drive working breed border collie who needs someone with breed experience (preferred). Fulfillment requirements: She will need more than just an hour long walk a day to meet her physical requirements. She currently bikes, hikes, and loves to swim. She is also well versed in carrying a weighted pack on her hikes, which helps her tune into her body and slow her mind. She's an athletic girl and needs someone to match that lifestyle. Sociability (Dog preferences): Shadow is dog selective. She would be perfectly fine in a home with no other dogs but would also do ok if she found a home with the right dog for her. No little dogs or other small animals though. She doesn't enjoy every dog but enjoys most in the proper introductions are taken. She doesn't enjoy chaos with other dogs but loves to partake in structured pack activities. She is NOT a dog park or high-energy daycare type dog. Training: She's crate trained and sleeps, eats and rests in one daily. She's highly intelligent and learns quickly. She is well versed in basic obedience cues: sit, down, stand, stay, recall, place, middle, and loose leash walking. She does not enjoy being approached, touched or spoken to by strangers but has increased her thresholds for tolerance by quite a lot. She can navigate public spaces with the proper guidance but is probably never going to be a "coffee shop" dog. Shadow's Adoption fee is $250 and includes spay, microchip and current vaccinations. To fill out an adoption application, visit https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/SSP-A-844 To follow Shadow on her journey to a loving family on SPOT's Facebook page, visit https://facebook.com/spotsavespets/ and on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/spotsavespets/

Story
How this pet arrived:Ivy was brought in by their previous owner on October 7, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you: Meet Ivy! This friendly, energetic girl has two favorite things: playtime and sticking close to her people. She is ready to join the fun-and show off her "sit," "down," and "paw" while she is at it! Ivy is crate trained and has done well with kids. Like most young pups, she will need help with potty training, leash skills and house manners. A consistent routine and a family ready to show her the ropes will help her build on what she already knows. Ivy has seizures and will need ongoing medication, but that does not stop her from being a happy, playful pup with plenty of pep in her step. Our medical team will walk you through her care plan and answer your questions so you feel set up for success. Ready for a playful little shadow? Grab a leash and collar and come meet Ivy! At SDHS:Ivy has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. She is now ready for adoption! Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: White Weight: 34 Age: 0yrs 6mths 3wks

Story
THIS IS A COURTESY POSTING FOR ANOTHER RESCUE GROUP. TO MEET THIS DOG, CONTACT fciaadoptions@yahoo.com or call (619) 466-9137. Penny is a lovely 46-pound, 18-month-old Cattle Dog mix. DNA revealed that she is mostly Cattle Dog and Lab along with a variety of other breeds. Spayed and current on all vaccinations, she is good on a leash, affectionate, athletic, friendly, and smart. Penny came to us with a birth defect where her eye was too far up into the socket. After consultation with the Eye Clinic, it was recommended that her eye should be removed, and she is making a good recovery. She will need help with house-training with her new family. Penny is a very loving dog and gets along with people and other dogs, but she does not do well with cats. FCIA dogs cannot be adopted out of state. Please see FCIA web page (https://fcianimals.org/) for a list of adoption sites. Every potential adopter is required to fill out an adoption application, and the dog is placed in the home that would be most suited
