Story
LEANER ALERT!! Rosey is a 2 year old cattle dog mix and she loves nothing more that to sidle up to her people, leaning on them while she gets her scritches. She is a playful pup who gets the zoomies once or twice a day with a sudden burst of energy, but she settles in quickly. Tug of war or fetch? Why not both?! Rosey is always up for either. She has done very well with house training with only 1 accident in her first two weeks with her foster family and she is crate trained. Rosey is working on her leash manners. She can walk nicely when calm until she sees a squirrel or bunny. This girl is as smart as she is beautiful and food motivated which could make training a breeze. While she’s done well with calm children, she is a mirror of energies and will reflect back the excitement level of the person she’s playing with. This can result in her getting overly excited to play at times. Usually quiet, Rosey saves her barks for when she’s letting you know someone new is nearby. Sweet, smart, and playful. She’s ready to be part of your family!

Story
Meet Cali! This cuddly cutie is super smart, loves to learn new skills and tricks, and is eager to please. More than anything, Cali wants to spend time with her people, whether out on a walk, playing fetch, or hanging out and snuggling inside. She can be left home alone, but would much prefer to stick by your side. When meeting new people, Cali is very friendly and social. When our volunteer met her in her home, Cali was immediately cheerful and ready to interact. When it comes to other dogs, Cali appears to have mixed feelings. On walks, Cali is sometimes reactive toward other dogs—this is something her current family is working on. Cali’s current family often has extended family members and neighbors over to visit, and these visitors often bring their dogs. Although Cali sometimes enjoys interacting and playing with some of these other dogs, they tend to make her quite nervous about her stuff (food and sometimes toys), which she does not want to share. For this reason, we would prefer to find her a home without other dogs. In one incident when Cali was new to her current family, she got into a scuffle with a visiting dog over food. When mom intervened, Cali, in the heat of the moment, redirected a bite onto mom’s thumb. The bite resulted in minor abrasions and bruising. Once her family understood Cali’s motivations, they were able to prevent any further nips. But she cannot be adopted by a family with kids younger than teenagers. Cali is currently living with a cat and she overall does well with him. She does like to play with him and they will sometimes lie on their sides on the floor playfully batting each other’s paws. But the kitty would probably prefer a little less playfulness from Cali. So a home with a cat could work for Cali, but it would have to be a cat who truly likes dogs, not a cat who just tolerates them. Cali is 5 years old and weighs about 15 lbs. She is a miniature American shepherd aka mini Aussie. (Adoptapet does not list this breed as an option, which is why "Australian shepherd" is selected.) She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and has no known health issues. She is housetrained and does not currently use or need a crate. Cali was recently adopted by her current family, but they have determined that their lifestyle simply is not the best fit for her. They’ve been patient with her, have given her time to settle in, and have worked with a professional trainer, but this is one of those square peg/round hole situations in which rehoming truly is best for the dog. We (FFOCAS) are helping Cali’s family find her forever home. Interested? Please get in touch via email (ffocas4pets@gmail.com) or through adoptapet. We’ll ask you to fill out a rehoming application to keep this process as safe as possible for all involved—especially Cali!
