Carlsbad, CA

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

My name is Ren and I am a mix of Chihuahua and Dachshund or MinPin. Whatever I am, I have been told I’m cute. I am about two years old and my coloring is brown. I was in a hoarding situation with way too many dogs, and so I haven’t had a good start in life. I am very mistrustful when you first meet me because of my past living situation. When I first arrived at my foster home, I didn’t go near anyone. But my foster mom kept picking me up and having me sit in her lap while she petted me. That was kind of nice, and now I go sit by her on my own, and I have even crawled in her lap! Strangers are frightening, but my foster mom is working with me to teach me that not all people are bad or scary. If you adopt me, you will have to be patient with me. I want to learn to love and trust, but it will take time. My foster mom says your patience with me will be well worth it because I am a sweet boy. My vaccinations are all up to date and I am working on being fully housetrained. I am also neutered. You can meet me or learn more about me by contacting JAN at crazy4mutts@outlook.com. I’m being fostered in the El Cajon area of San Diego County.

Paco is a neutered male black and white Staffi/Lab mix. He is 18 months old and weighs 60 lbs. so he will be a big boy when fully grown. He has been raised in Mexico by a lovely family and all vaccines are up to date and he is housetrained. Paco has lots of energy! He would love a yard to run in and a friend to play with. He is good with other dogs although he is overly anxious during initial introductions. He currently lives with several other dogs. He has not been around cats. Paco is as sweet as can be and loves kids. He just wants to find his own person or family to love. Because he’s young, obedience training would help him be the best dog he can be.

Sonny

Australian Shepherd

Male, 3 yrs 8 mos

Carlsbad, CA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Sonny! He is such a handsome boy. Sonny is a two-year, eight-month-old Aussie Shepherd. He is a handsome boy who loves some belly rubs and gives you a paw when he hasn’t been done getting a pet (see picture)! Unfortunately, he’s not great around children or smaller dogs. He has exhibited dominance and aggression, making him a less-than-perfect candidate for our household with an eight-year-old daughter and other kids around. His resource-guarding behavior is the reason he is listed as having special needs. He needs a home where he can be the only dog in an adult household. Sonny needs to be adopted by an experienced dog owner who would be able to identify any signs of potential aggression and take him to training to get rid of that aggression. CHARACTERISTICS Friendly, Affectionate, Playful, Smart, Independent, Loves kisses With a heavy heart, we’ve decided it would be best if he were to find an environment that gives him a better chance at success and happiness with an experienced dog owner. To meet Sonny, email his foster dad, Joseph, at joseph.e.moser@gmail.com. PLEASE NOTE: This is a Courtesy Listing, and ARRF is not familiar with this dog. Please see the contact information at the end of his bio. Thank you.
