Story
Rehoming our 10mo Rottweiler/German Shepherd/Boxer mix. She is very smart and learns quickly; she knows sit/down/stay/leave it/shake/spin/out, and rings a bell to signal when she needs to potty. She is playful, athletic, affectionate, and cuddly. She loves training, receiving praise and treats. No food aggression.She grew up with 3 cats but has puppy tendencies and still gets overly excited when playing with them.Challenges: separation anxiety and car anxiety. With patience and an experienced owner, we believe she can overcome these issues. She doesn't like being alone and would do best with a family that is retired or works from home.Sometimes leash-reactive to other dogs; it seems play-driven, with tail wagging. Still actively working on dog socialization.Spayed, current on vaccines. $75 rehoming fee. We will include her crate, collar, harness, leash, toys, bowl, and remaining food/treats.Process: message us about your experience, home visit, then a visit with her before finalizing.

Story
Meet Hunden! Sweet, playful Vizsla mix, female, spayed, about 50 lbs, around 1.5-2 years old. Hunden was a stray at an RV park in Baja, Mexico, waiting outside our trailer every morning. I'm from Sweden, so I greeted her with "Hej hunden" (Hi, dog). The name stuck, and so did she. We got her vetted, treated for a tick-borne parasite, and drove her home to California. She's housebroken, microchipped, vaccinated, on flea/tick/heartworm prevention, and great on a leash and in the car. She learns quickly, is submissive and affectionate, and still has plenty of puppy in her. She seems fine with kids and other animals. Best fit: an active family with a backyard, ideally with dog experience. Meet-and-greet and home check preferable. She's on the California Central Coast. We're moving abroad and want her to have a forever home.

Story
Meet DB! A fun, happy, energetic 9-month-old Doberman with a huge heart and an even bigger personality. Fiercely loving and loyal, he’s a total cuddle bug who still thinks he’s a lap dog! But like most Dobermans, DB has two sides. He’s also incredibly intelligent, playful, full of energy, and easily bored. He thrives on activity and mental stimulation. He’s done very well with basic obedience training and nose work, and he’s well-socialized with both dogs and adults. He hasn’t had much experience around children yet. Equal parts sweetheart and mischief-maker, DB is a whole lot of personality wrapped up in one handsome boy!

Story
Aussie/German Shepherd male puppy  Welcome Raider, a four-month old Aussie (mom is purebred)/German Shephard (dad is purebred) mix. Mom and dad are being altered as a condition of the pups coming to rescue.   Raider arrived at rescue with his brother Timmy.  Their littermate Reese has already been adopted out through CCHDR.  Here’s what our all-star dog trainer foster has to report:   Raider is a fast learner. He is already very good in the house. He has medium energy so far and is just happy to hang out as he decompress and learns how to be a good canine citizen. Raider and Timmy will be adopted out separately.  Raider is microchipped, on a vaccine schedule, and can go home on a neuter contract. Raider is in Atascadero, CA More photos, video, and updates:  https://www.facebook.com/www.cchdrescue.org/  search in posts and photo albums. Interested in Raider? Please complete an application at: http://bit.ly/CCHDR_App Note:  No transport or blind adoptions. Prospective adopters must have a plan in place to meet and pick up their dog from the foster location.November 1, 2026, 4:38 pm
