Story
Looks like: Border Collie mix Female, 5 years old (estimated), 53 pounds Fern is looking for a home that will give her lots of exercise - a couple of runs daily would be ideal. If you are looking for a running or hiking buddy, Fern would love to be your gal. Fern has an active mind. She is learning the difference between what she is allowed to play with and what is off limits. She is very good at entertaining herself by dragging large dog beds around the house. She loves other dogs, and she is intrigued by cats, but doesn't hurt them. People outside of her usual pack are scary. She is skittish in places she doesn't know and jumps at sudden sounds. She currently lives in a remote area and will likely adjust once she has more positive experiences. Fern was found as a stray in a rural area of Monterey County, and sadly no one came looking for her. We can't wait for this beautiful girl to bond with her people and blossom in time!

Story
Meet Zaida! If you’ve been searching for a sweet, silly, treat-powered sidekick, Zaida’s your girl. This gorgeous border collie mix was rescued after being found on the side of the road, and she’s gone from rags to zoomies in no time. Now she’s living her best foster life and is officially ready to find her forever family! Zaida is basically the definition of main character energy. She loves being the center of attention, thrives on praise (and snacks, obviously), and has perfected the art of dramatic herding-dog stares. She’s not here for apartment life, this girl needs a yard to live out her zoomie dreams. Think of her as your personal Peloton instructor, but fuzzier and way cuter. She’s also a one-of-a-kind pup with her own quirks. Zaida has a condition called idiopathic head tremor syndrome (IHTS)—translation: sometimes her head and body do little wiggles of their own. It’s benign and just part of her unique vibe. Along with that, she’s on long-term meds to help with anxiety and OCD, which help her stay her sweet, snuggly, happy self. Zaida would do best with experienced adopters who understand herding breeds and are ready to keep her brain and body busy. She prefers to be the solo diva in the house but does fine with other dogs too. No tiny humans under 8, please, she’s still working on her social graces. ** This pet is a Foster-to-Adopt candidate! That means you can foster them for a short trial period to make sure they’re the perfect match for your home before finalizing the adoption. If you’re interested, please complete both a foster application and an adoption application so we can get the process started. ** Zaida is currently in a loving foster home. A meet and greet can be scheduled once an online adoption application has been submitted and approved by AFRP staff. Visit www.animalfriendsrescue.org to fill one out today!

Story
Montana is an affectionate 4-year-old Lab/Pit mix who’s ready to be your loyal companion for life. This sweet girl is a fetch fanatic who lives for playtime and loves nothing more than chasing balls with her favorite humans. She’s both treat and toy motivated and ready to learn new tricks. Montana gets along fine with other dogs, but she’s truly a people-focused pup who wants to be your number-one play partner. On a recent Doggie Day Out adventure, she proved to be a calm car passenger and a wonderful trail companion. She enjoys sniffy walks and likes to lead the way without pulling on the leash. Though Montana can be a little shy when meeting new people, she warms up quickly with patience (and a few tasty treats). Once she feels comfortable, she enjoys gentle petting and cuddle time with her friends. If you can toss a tennis ball, you’re already in her inner circle! Montana was placed on final because shelter life has become overwhelming for her. Repeated encounters with unfamiliar people reaching into her kennel have left her feeling uneasy, and she may growl or show her teeth to ask for space. But outside the kennel, Montana’s true personality shines—sweet, playful, and full of love. Montana will thrive in a calm, patient home that gives her time to decompress and build trus ##2599337##

Story
This is Hoover, male, also almost 7mths old. Fully vaccinated 1st full rounds of puppy shots Sept 19th and also born May 13th as his sister Daisy, they are litter mates. He however will be much larger in size! Probably around 70+lbs full grown. Loves to herd and chase everything and me. He is very strong willed, protective, clumsy, goofy personality, soft soul, clingy, loves to snuggle and give many kisses. Hasn't had a lot of out in the world exposure nor people and other dog socializing, but is getting knowledge and better with it everyday. He's a loyal guard dog who could benefit hugely in working on a farm, or agility training with consistent mental cognitive activities. Loves to nap and goof play with his human too. I believe he'd be great with other working dogs to follow in their lead and has already done great with friendly calmer dogs too after some time of warming up to them. Great on walks, but nervous with loud noises. He will be a great dog under the right handler.

Story
This is Daisy, she's the female runt. Almost 7mths old, born May 13th, fully vaccinated 1st full rounds of puppy shots on Sept 19th. Easily trainable, very smart, super goofy, loving yet spicy high busy energy. Recall great in a home base comfortable environment, can sit, sit pretty, wait (short period) and loves to chase and play with toys and stuffed animals. Getting better at potty training, still working on alerting me when need to go out to potty. However, good at using potty pads indoors over rugs. She is very playful and good with friendly calmer dogs after some time to warm up around them in a home base environment. Friendly to calm natured kids. In public around people and loud noises she is shy and timid, submits to being touched and say hello when being held. Getting better on leash walks and learning to release on pulling with a soft prong collar. When out in public my truck is her safe place. However, she will sniff, pee and calm down on walks when surrounding is calm.
