Story
Watson; Mini Red Merle Australian Shepherd (Purebred)** Watson is a very affectionate and loyal dog. He is a purebred mini red Merle Australian Shepherd with a ton of love to give. He thrives at the beach. At home, Watson becomes very protective of both the house and our 9-year-old son. Because of this, we are unable to have people over, and it has become difficult to host other children. As hard as it is for our family, we have made the decision to rehome him so our son can have friends visit safely. Watson would do best in a home **without children or other dogs**, with someone who understands his protective nature and can give him the structure and environment he needs. He truly is a loving companion.We are looking for someone local who will allow us to see him.

Story
Meet Goose! I am a 1-year old German Shepherd, Staffordshire Terrier mix. I was rescued off the streets of Fresno as a puppy. 🐕My Personality: Bright, Curious, Playful. 🧀My Favorite Snacks: Cheese sticks, Ice cubes, Greek yogurt. My Owners’ Favorite Things About Me: My goofiness, My love for sticks - I LOVE STICKS (even when they are 3x my size), My playful and adventurous nature. 🏡My Needs: A large outdoor space to run and play and protect (I would love it even more with other dogs to play with); A trainer who is familiar with and loves working dog breeds; My mix of breeds make me an excellent herding and guard dog but I would excel best on a large ranch or piece of property like the rural area I was found in. We are unable to give Goose the space to run and play in our tiny apartment or continue his training as we begin to grow a family of our own. But he is such a sweet dog with so much potential. We are searching so hard for the right home for him!

Chester

Labrador Retriever Mutt

Arroyo Grande, CA

Story
In the summer of 2024 Chester was found abandoned along a highway in SoCal by a family member of ours. After about 2 months with that family member, my wife and I agreed to take him and he has been with us ever since. He is a very sweet, loving dog. He is also very easy going, doesn't bark or demand a lot of attention. I am in my 70's now and we currently live in a home with a large yard. However, we just bought a new home (a condo/townhome) that has no yard and we will be moving there soon. We feel Chester would be happier in a home with a yard and with someone who can take him for regular walks. That is why we are looking to find him a new home.

Max was rescued at 8 weeks old. He is currently 11 months. He is very sweet and loves people especially kids. Unfortunately my work is requiring significant travel and I am unable to give him the attention he deserves. He is a wonderful family dog in need of love.
