Chummy

Border Collie

Male, Adult

Size

Story
Chummy is the sweetest, most loving and loyal boy you’ll meet. He is very appeasing, both with people and dogs, and can often be seen doing a “submissive smile”. He loves to run around and play fetch, and always loves new toys! He is a rescue from SD Humane Society and is truly an amazing dog. Only reason we are looking to rehome is that my current/original dog does not do well with other dogs in the home, as well as financial challenges.Chummy has lived with cats before and knows how to give them space, and has shown interest in playing with the other dog and cat(s) he has lived with. He would do excellent with a social dog friend! He can be shy/fearful with new people and environments, especially at the groomers, but has done well on trazodone/gabapentin for grooming/vet visits. He has some minor separation anxiety (a bit of whining/crying when we leave) but has never caused any kind of destruction or noise complaints, and settles quickly. Very sweet, silly/playful and loving dog!

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Tommy is a cute and cuddly little boy with an eternally cute face. He was found on the streets with a tumor about 5.5" in diameter in his belly. He lasted a year in treatment with chemotherapy and medication and needed surgery to remove the remaining encapsulated mass. In addition to needing special food to break up a stone bladder, he has ultrasounds to make sure he don't get sediment in his bladder every three months. He is currently a healthy, happy, loving and tender dog. He is very loyal and protective, intelligent and playful. He don't get along well with alpha male dogs, but plays well with puppies and females. He is sociable with children and adults. Tommy is a Border collie mix, and is smaller than a Border collie. When you talk to him he makes a cute and cuddly face, ducks his head and rolls his eyes upwards, I think he knows he is cute and takes advantage of that. Tommy is a dog to spoil, to cuddle and to give him lots of love, since his first family didn't give him all he deserved. The $350.00 adoption fee covers the following: Transport to San Diego, CA. Spay/Neuter. All vaccines up to date. Deworming (puppies 2 sets). Flea medication up to date. Tick control up to date. Microchip. Microchip registration to new owner paid for. Collar. Temporary leash. The adoption fee does not include transportation to North of San Diego

Story
Meet Nico! This big, strong boy is the sweetest and gentlest dog you will ever meet. High energy and eager to play, he gets along well with dogs and loves to jump and run with them. He loves food and walks (Well, he loves to take you for a run, haha!) And when he sees you, he gets excited and dances with his front paws. His chubby and hairy appearance makes him so cute, with all the personality of a golden retriever/Labrador, loyal but too clumsy and curious, extroverted and with an insatiable desire to smell everything. The $350.00 adoption fee covers the following: Transport to San Diego, CA. Spay/Neuter. All vaccines up to date. Deworming (puppies 2 sets). Flea medication up to date. Tick control up to date.

Story
Aloha is a loving sweet dog, and very smart, which means she likes to rule the roost if she can get away with it. She loves playing with her doggy friends and toys, but will always make time for a good snuggle. She is a people dog and enjoys going out and about, but being a sensitive little girl, she occasionally will be shy of a new person. She listens very well and obeys. Some of her learned commands are,  “sit”, “stay”, “come”, “get down”, “be nice” and she will gently take a treat. ##2302831##

Meet Banjo! Banjo is a 6-year-old Husky/Border Collie mix with striking looks and a big personality. Weighing around 60 lbs and neutered, Banjo loves human attention and thrives on affection. He’s smart, loyal, and has that wonderful mix of Husky confidence and Collie heart. Banjo would do best in a home without small dogs or young kids, but he’s more than ready to be someone’s devoted adventure buddy. He’d love a secure yard, daily walks, and lots of love from his person. Banjo’s brother, Butterball, is also available for adoption — they adore each other but can be adopted separately. (currently in San Diego) Ready to give Banjo a home where he can shine? Message Sabrina (717)377-3588 s.m.morrison97@gmail.comMarch 8, 2026, 8:45 pm
