Story
Her name is Rio! She is a 16 week old puppy. She is a gorgeous mix of breeds. We rescued her but our older dog is not happy now and it is not a sustainable situation. She would be best in a home as an only dog or with an opposite gender dog. She has been in a home with children 8 and older and a cat. She is sweet with humans, crate trained, house trained, is learning to walk on the leash and knows some basic commands, such as “sit,” and “come.” She is leaning how to fetch with a tennis ball and frisbee. She is working on “leave it” and “stay.” She is still teething. She has had 2 rounds of shots and is due for her final set on 8/28/23. She would do best in a home with some experience with herding breeds.

Story
Marco is a beautiful Red Heeler mix with lots of interest in herding whatever there is to herd. He is a dog that would do best in a single-dog family as he is not interested in the companionship of other dogs, cats or children.Marco will soon be ready for his forever home!! He is currently in a board and train programwith Specialty Dog Training here in Oceanside, CA and in the ideal world, he would transitionfrom his training program directly into his new adoptive home. His board and train programincludes lessons for his new owners so here is a great opportunity to adopt a dog who hasseveral weeks of intensive training AND additional lessons for his new humans to help get“them on board” with the training as well!According to his trainer, this handsome guy is your typical cattle dog – intelligent, energetic,loyal to his human(s), can be wary of strangers and not necessarily concerned about building agroup of canine friends. Marco will thrive with a breed savvy owner who is looking for good-looking, canine partner to share life with. Going to dog parks or lying under the table at a café isnot something Marco would enjoy but a moderately strenuous hike or a learning a new activitylike scent training would be right up his alley!As with all cattle dogs, solid leadership from his human and a daily routine with structure willhelp Marco live his best life. He has been gaining confidence each week in his training programas he learns new skills and understands what is being ask of him. While his trainer believes hecould co-exist with another dog, he seems to be selective in his choice of canine friends. Wehave not seen him around children but unless the home is very breed savvy, we would notrecommend a home with children. Marco appreciates his space and children typically do notunderstand this concept well.If you are interested in adopting a dog with the mind of a rocket scientist and exceptionally good looks, Marco could be the one for you. He is currently reviewing applications so please click below and submit yours today if you'd like to come meet him.

Story
Ike is a real pack animal and would be happiest with another dog. This gorgeous 28 lb, 10 month old male Blue Heeler/Aussie Shepherd mix is playful, and energetic. Like most herding breeds, Ike is smart, loyal, and checks in and keeps an eye on his 'pack'. Not a dog who likes to lay around all the time, he needs regular exercise and mental stimulation to thrive. He is working dog, so he needs a job. Ongoing training for Ike would help satisfy that need. This boy loves going for walks runs, playing with other dogs, and hanging with his people. likes to entertain himself with toys and and is a constant source of entertainment Ike has a previously healed fracture in his rear left leg. He had a very rough start in life and is now enjoying being a loved family member in his foster home. Ike's adoption fee is $450 and includes neuter, microchip and current vaccinations.
