Carlsbad, CA

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Ricotta is a 9-year-old German Shorthair Pointer mix who is currently with her original family, but who now needs a new home. The small children in our household tend to make her tense and nervous, and this is not the best life for her or for our kids. Ricotta is spayed, weighs between 30-35 lbs, and is an energetic girl. She loves being outdoors where she can sniff, explore, go on walks, and interact with her person. She loves one-on-one attention, so she would do well as an only dog. And no kids, please. It is difficult for us to make this decision, but we feel it is in Ricotta’s best interests. We have tried working with a trainer as well as other options, but we feel we have exhausted all avenues and that Ricotta would live her best life in an adult-only home where she is the only dog who can thrive on the love and attention lavished on her. Ricotta currently lives in in south Orange County, but we are happy to meet a potential adopter in San Diego or midway for a meet and greet. We are asking a nominal fee for her adoption of $100, and if you would like to meet her or learn more about her habits, email Michael at michaelvmao@gmail.com.

Story
• I am fostering him in San Clemente for Riverside County, but I cannot keep him because my little senior (very jealous) dog will not accept him. If I didn't have my little senior, I would adopt Max in a second - he is a wonderful dog!• Max was found as a stray in Riverside: no collar, no microchip, not neutered. The Shelter named him Max. Will be neutered on May 21st. Has had his vaccinations and is microchipped now. Estimated to be about 3 yrs old.• Very sweet disposition, affectionate, super soft coat, friendly & good w/kids, non-reactive with other dogs.• Housetrained.• Pretty good on leash (pulls a bit at first); great on car rides.• Crate trained and sleeps through the night.• Great walking, running, or hiking partner and cuddler.• He would need a good introduction to any cat in the home, as he is part Pointer, and they have a pretty strong prey drive.• Adoption would be directly through the Riverside Shelter, which can be done via email. • Please contact me for a meet and greet.
