Shadow

Border Collie Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 3 yrs 4 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
Echo is a 4-year-old male Border Collie / Blue Heeler mix and is neutered. He is: AMAZING with kids (super patient & gentle) House trained & crate trained Up to date on vaccinations Ball driven (not food motivated) Loves fetch and will play until he’s out of energy LOVES to cuddle and be with his people Sweet, loyal, and very affectionate Echo can be reactive on leash or through barriers (fences/gates), but with proper introductions he is happy to play or coexist. He is not aggressive. Echo would love an active individual or family, preferably with herding breed experience, who can give him exercise, structure, and mental stimulation. Due to military orders, frequent moves, limited space for the level of exercise he needs and the logistics of travel (including overseas relocation), we can no longer provide the long-term stability Echo deserves. This decision is about circumstances — not behavior. No rehoming fee

Story
How this pet arrived: Marcello was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team on November 4, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Marcello! Marcello is a sweet, affectionate goofball who loves his people and enjoys calm, happy moments together. He loves playing with toys, will bring the ball back to you for a game of fetch and will climb into your lap for a cuddle sesh! He's also a bit of a sensitive guy who appreciates gentle handling and clear communication, so he's looking for a quiet, adult-only home (kids 14+) where he can feel safe and understood. He's had positive interactions on walks with other dogs and is already showing how smart he is by rocking the early stages of muzzle training using positive reinforcement. He also knows "sit", "down" and "paw"! Marcello will do best with a dedicated dog owner who enjoys training and helping this handsome boy build confidence in exchange for a rewarding bond! With patience and kindness, Marcello is sure to be your new best buddy. Ask about adopting today! At SDHS:Marcello has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He is now ready for his new home!

Story
How this pet arrived: Harley was brought in by their previous owner on April 18, 2026. Why this pet is the one for you:Harley is a gentle, shy girl searching for a calm, loving home to call her own. She can be a little unsure at first, so she'll need a patient adopter willing to give her the time and space she needs to feel safe. Once she warms up, her sweet and affectionate personality really shines-it's so special to watch her come out of her shell. She would do best in a quiet, adult-only home without other pets, where she can feel secure and relaxed. Due to her sensitive nature, she's best suited for a home with children ages 6+, and all children must be present for a meet-and-greet before adoption. If you're willing to go at Harley's pace, she'll reward you with so much love. At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed neutered. This pet is now ready for their new home!
