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.

Story
🐾 **Meet Patches!** Patches is living proof that a few quirks just make you more lovable. He has a slight limp, an adorable little head tilt that somehow makes him even more endearing, and the cutest smile—complete with tiny human-like teeth—that will make you grin right back. An injury left one of his hips permanently fused, but Patches didn't let that get in the way of enjoying life. He loves people, makes friends wherever he goes, and approaches every day with a happy tail and an even happier heart. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind best friend with loads of personality, plenty of love to give, and a face you'll never get tired of looking at... Patches is waiting to meet you. ❤️ Patche's adoption fee is $450 and includes his neuter, microchip and current vaccinations.

Story
WE ARE COURTESY POSTING THIS DOG FOR THE MORENO VALLEY ANIMAL SHELTER TO HELP THEM FIND A HOME. The shelter is severely overcrowded and desperately needs help finding adopters. Dogs are being turned in higher numbers than the shelter can accommodate; therefore, many are losing their lives simply due to a lack of cage space. We are helping get the word out about their immediate need. Please save this deserving pooch and clear a kennel for another dog in need today! This beautiful dog is located in the Moreno Valley shelter. Shelter needs to clear the kennels. They are over capacity, and all available dogs are in urgent need. Please visit or email the shelter directly to adopt. BRUNA - ID#A552116 Shelter staff named me BRUNA, and I am a spayed female, black and white Border Collie. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years old. I weigh approximately 60.50 lbs.
