Chewy is a high energy 3 year old labrador mix that is on the euthanasia list at the Santa Barbara shelter. I don't have any fosters to save this guys life. He is loving, affectionate, calm, and loves to cuddle once he trusts you. He is good with most other dogs (no intact males please), not good with cats, and no to kids. Please help me save this dogs life! I may be able to transport if you can foster or adopt him. If you foster and then back out I can't take him back so if you foster you can't back out. Let me know if you can help please asap! He has been working with a popular trainer and is really responsive to 8 commands.

Story
We adopted Stella from a rescue in Mexico when she was 6 months old. By that time she had already survived parvo and distemper! She is a sweet dog but does have anxiety and would do best in a house with a yard and no children. We are finding her a new home because she has started exhibiting concerning behavior towards our toddler. She loves to relax at home and run around our backyard, due to her anxiety she does not like to go on walks. Due to her illnesses as a puppy she does have arthritis that only affects her if she runs too much. She also has history of ACL repair to both back legs and a surgery to her right front leg to correct a damaged radial growth plate (all 3 surgeries were in the first year we had her and she has not had any since then).

Story
Meet Coco Chanel! Coco is a delightful young dog who overcame a challenging start after being abandoned by those meant to care for her. Now thriving in a nurturing foster home with ASR, she has blossomed into a friendly and energetic companion. Coco is playful and has mastered several commands, being trained in both crate, house, and leash use. Coco likes to keep her mind moving, constantly working on her commands. Coco is 2.5 years old and weighs around 45 pounds. Coco would prefer to be the queen of her castle. Although she can be a bit protective and may bark at strangers, once she is given treats, she becomes the gentlest and happiest dog. She is affectionate with people, relishing cuddle time on the couch or bed. Coco needs to stay active; she loves to run and play with enrichment toys. A yard would be perfect for her to expend her energy, and she has a special love for water, especially when the hose is on. To truly thrive, Coco would benefit from an owner who understands her breed and can match her lively spirit, making her an ideal companion for families with older children who are dog savvy and understand the importance of respecting boundaries. She is available for foster-to-adopt! She is also in search of an active foster who can keep her busy with hikes and outings! If interested in fostering Coco, please click HERE! If you would like more info or would like to schedule a playdate, please fill out an application HERE. Coco's adoption fee is $495 and includes her spay, vaccinations, microchip, and flea treatment.
