Meet Leon 💙 Currently in foster in San Diego CA!This incredibly sweet soul was found blind and alone in the bushes of a remote area in Mexico — likely dumped and left behind. 💔 A visit to the eye clinic revealed that his blindness was caused by trauma to both eyes.But despite what he's endured, Leon is nothing short of remarkable. He’s gentle, affectionate, and full of joy. He loves to play, gnaw on a good bone, and snuggle up on the couch at night. Leon gets along beautifully with other dogs, shows no reactivity, and absolutely thrives on love and cuddles. He’s even learning verbal commands like a pro!Leon may be blind, but he’s incredibly adaptable. He uses a doggy door with ease, lives peacefully with cats, and fits right in with a calm, loving pack.He’s currently thriving in a foster home in San Diego and is ready to find his forever family — one that will cherish him for the loving, resilient pup he is. 🐾

Luna

Australian Shepherd

Female, Young
Encinitas, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Luna is a smart, affectionate, and energetic dog who is also naturally protective. She’ll always let you know if someone is at the door, and she takes her job of looking out for her family seriously. She has nipped and has been known to growl at dogs or people when she feels the need to protect her loved ones, but with consistent training and structure, her guarding instincts can absolutely be managed. Luna is VERY smart and loves to show off her athletic side — especially when catching a frisbee in mid-air! Like most Australian Shepherds, she needs plenty of mental stimulation and physical activity to keep her happy and balanced. Daily exercise, playtime, and continued training will help her thrive. With the right home that understands her breed, provides guidance, and gives her an outlet for her energy, Luna will make a loyal, fun, and devoted companion.
