Story
How this pet arrived: This pet was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team. Why this pet is the one for you:Hi ya'all! My name is Jumbo and I am searching for my forever home! I have been in my wonderful Foster Home for over 5 months and would love to meet my forever family.Could that be you? My Foster Mom keeps telling me to be patient because she promises me that they are out there somewhere looking for a good boy like me!I AM a very good boy! I love to run and do zoomies in my giant yard. I also enjoy chasing squirrels and lizards! Not sure what I'd do if I caught them but the chase sure is fun!I am calm in the house and also like to chill with my hoomans, either in the house or in the yard.My Foster Mom thinks I'd be okay with other dogs when properly introduced. I do have a foster sister that I have lived with for a long time. She's more like my real sister as we lived together before being in Foster care. Oh, her name is Natasha! Anyway, about me, of course. My Foster Mom doesn't know if I've been around cats or kids. I'm a Heeler mix and am bred to herd. So kids older than 10 who can respect that trait would be fine.My Foster Mom is currently working with me on leash training and she says I'm doing good but suggests further training.I do stress out a little in a vehicle and don't like being in a crate. So going for quick short trips would help.I am a good boy in the house and don't have accidents as long as someone lets me out when I need to go. I take several naps during the day but sleep really good on my own bed at night.I am also good about detecting snakes! I will stand way back and bark and look at the house until my Foster Dad comes out and catches it. I know better than to mess with them!! My sister Natasha does the same thing with me! We're hero's in our Foster Home! Please consider adding me to your family. I'd really like to find my forever home! Could that be you?Thank you,Jumbo At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed/neutered. This pet is now ready for their new home!

Australian Cattle Dog

Female, Adult
Spring Valley, CA

Story
Callie is a sweet, soulful pup with a heart full of love and a gentle spirit. She’s a cuddle bug who thrives on affection and enjoys nothing more than curling up next to her favorite human after a game of fetch or a romp in the great outdoors. She’s happiest off-leash in nature, where she can explore at her own pace—leash walks in busy areas can be overwhelming for her, but she’s a star on quiet trails and open hikes. Callie knows her basic commands and is eager to please. Callie does have separation anxiety, which is currently managed with Trazodone. She’s also shy and cautious at first, especially around men, but give her a few minutes and she’ll be your best friend tail wags and all. Despite her fears, she’s never shown any signs of aggression. She’s great with cats playful but gentle and would do well with a calm, older dog companion. Callie is looking for a calm, loving home where she can feel safe, be herself, and be part of the family.

She is not alpha nor submissive, she is just fun and even the grumpiest of dogs end up playing with her. She would love an active home that offers regular walks, hikes or beach days. She is house trained and listens intently. She has gone through obedience training. She also loves to snuggle and chill on those rainy days.

Story
Meet Rocket! This speed hound transferred to us from Orange County Animal Care! A past adopter of ours was enjoying an outing with her pup at an Orange County dog park when they found that Rocket had been abandoned there. Orange County Animal Control came out and confirmed he was abandoned before sending him to their local shelter. After his stray hold was up, with no one coming to claim him, we transferred Rocket directly into a foster home! Rocket is such a speedy boy who loves to wrestle and race around with the most active pups in his foster home. His foster home is filled with 5 dogs, one other foster dog (Penny), and 4 cats. Rocket is an intelligent, highly active, playful, and curious velcro dog who would love nothing more than to find his forever home! Regarding COVID-19 and other contagious illnesses: Please reschedule any visits if you are sick.
