Story

We adopted Finn from a German Shepard Rescue about three years ago, so we don't have much information about his early life. He's approximately six years old now. Finn lives with our five-year old male Black Lab, and they get along wonderfully. He's also been around other dogs and does well with them, though we haven't seen him interact with cats. Finn is an exceptionally smart, loyal dog who bonds strongly with confident, experienced handlers. He's very protective but also social, affectionate, and eager to please. He loves attention and thrives on activity and structure. We are looking for a loving, active home for Finn - one with someone who has the time, experience, and commitment to continue his training and keep him mentally and physically engaged.

Story

We had Tyson since he was just 2 months old, and he’s been a wonderful part of our family. He fully vaccinated (with up-to-date vet records available) and just recently had his latest shots. Tyson is a loving, loyal dog with a great personality. Unfortunately, our family schedule has become too busy to give him the time and attention he deserves. We are looking for a caring home where he will have plenty of love, space, and companionship. We are located in Escondido CA 442-329-9817
