Story
I got Keely on November 2nd of last year. She is around 15 wks old right now. She will listen to and will obey what you say to her. She sleeps through the night. I have a crate for her and she is getting used to being in there. Keely is spayed, up to date on her shots and is chipped. I am working on getting her potty trained. Keely barks at people because she doesn't know who they are. Once she gets to know the person she doesn't bark at them. She hasn't bit anyone. Keely is very playful when around other dogs. I am working on training her. She is very responsive to training. I know she will be a good dog in the future if a person has patience. Keely is willing to learn. She will bark at other dogs until she gets to know them. Keely is very alert to her surroundings. If you end up adopting Keely I have toys, treats, food I can give you.

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
Solo was hours away from being euthanized at an animal shelter in Southern California. Having a soft spot for herding dogs, I couldn’t see this guy get put down. He is young and full of life! An experienced herding dog owner would be ideal, but he will also be amazing with anyone who is willing to take him to training and bond with him. He is great with small children and loves to play with other dogs. He has been neutered and is up to date on all his shots.

Walks well on leash and approached adjacent kennels to smell calmly. Would hesitate when passing staff while walking but would quickly return to walking after some baby talking.

Story
I adopted Ellie from someone in Modesto through Craigslist when she was about 6 months old. Ellie is now 3 years old. She is very energetic and friendly with everyone and other children, and loves to jump on people and be petted. When she meets other dogs, she will initially bark and run around them, and it takes her a while to get close because she's not an outdoor dog; we always keep her indoors. I adopted her when I had been living alone for two years, and my landlord needed to take the house back for renovations, so we had to move back in with my parents. My father has a history of asthma and sometimes has difficulty breathing, and his condition has worsened since being exposed to dog hair. When we first moved back, we kept her indoors. Her daily routine was that in the morning she would go out to the backyard to play and run around, and in the evening she would sleep in the garage (she has a heated bed to keep her warm). But now my father's health has worsened so...
