Size

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Beautiful German Shepherd mix looking for a loving home! Winnie is 3.5 years old, fully vaccinated, has had regular dental cleanings and a DNA breed test. She was rescued from the streets of Mexico as a puppy and, because of her past, is scared of new people. Once she bonds with someone, she becomes incredibly loving and devoted. She also loves stuffed toys and carries them around for comfort. Winnie is crate trained but has separation anxiety. She is very smart, listens well, and is completely potty trained. She’s generally lazy but enjoys long walks, runs, and playing fetch. She gets along with our small dog and cats but does not get along with our larger dog. She would likely do best as the only dog or with small pets. She may chase cats to play, so a home with cats that run from dogs may not be ideal. Winnie is truly the sweetest girl and just needs patience, love, and time to feel safe.

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Duke was moments away from losing his life. He was rescued from a high-kill, California shelter, with only minutes to spare. Now, what this beautiful boy needs most is a family to call his own. Duke is a stunning 3- to 4-year-old German Shepherd, weighing about 96 pounds. He's housebroken, neutered, current on all vaccinations, and has the sweetest, gentlest heart you could ever hope to find. Despite everything he's been through, Duke greets everyone with pure joy, a wagging tail, and endless love. He is wonderful with people of all ages—from young children to seniors—and absolutely loves other dogs. Duke would thrive in an active home with another playful dog (or two!) and would make an incredible companion for someone who enjoys walking, jogging, or running. His foster family currently takes him jogging four days a week, and he loves every minute of it. Duke is also incredibly smart, eager to learn, and responds beautifully to training. Help give Duke the happy ending he deserves.

Moka

Australian Shepherd Rottweiler

Female, Young

Poway, CA

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Moka is such a loving and playful girl. She is an amazing companion with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She is affectionate, silly, energetic, and loves spending time with her people. She enjoys playing and is happy to share toys, but she can become stressed or overwhelmed in higher-intensity situations when another dog is around. Because of this, she would thrive as the only dog in the home, where she can relax and feel confident without the pressure of another dog competing for attention or resources. A home with space to run, play, and explore would be ideal for her. She is also working on resource guarding and leash manners and would benefit from continued positive-reinforcement training. Moka is a beautiful dog inside and out. Unfortunately we have another dog that she becomes aggressive towards due to her resource guarding. With her humans she is so loving and sweet. She is also crate trained and potty trained. We want more than anything to find her a good home.
