Story
Savannah is 42 pound, 2.5 year old kelpie shepherd. She loves playing with toys and snuggling with her foster parents and the other dogs in the home. If you’ll be patient with her she will show you how sweet & what a snuggle buddy she can be. Savannah beat death and survived distemper as a puppy, while it has a high mortality rate, she beat the odds and has been cleared by the vet and is expected to live a normal life span.  We would like to adopt her out to a home with another dog or someone who has time to keep her well socialized. She had a rough start to life, and we want the very best for her. If you would like to meet Savannah, please fill out an application https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html

Story
This is Athena. Athena is a little over 4 years old and weighs about 30 pounds almost like a fun-sized shepherd mix.  She had a rough beginning as she was picked up as a stray in Mexico, along with her sister. They came to us extremely scared of everything and have come a long way since being with us. While her sister got adopted shortly after, Athena got left behind still looking for her forever family. She is one of our special girls who needs her forever family to be really patient with her as she learns to get comfortable with you. She is still very shy and we suggest a home with no kids and a female-only household. Athena would benefit best from having an outgoing, friendly dog in the house for her to follow (she used to look to her sister for direction). She loves playing with toys and walks well on a leash. If you are looking for a sweet girl who just needs some love and someone with patience, please fill out an application: https://muttsinneed.org/apply/adopt

Story
Hi, I’m Linus and I’m the cutest freckled boy around! I’m 1.5 years old and the shelter said I’m an Australian kelpie, I’m about 45 pounds so I’m the perfect size to cuddle with! I’m so sweet and I love cuddling. I like making friends with dogs and humans whenever I go out! I’m incredibly smart, I’ve learned to open doors by jumping up on them so I may surprise you with more things I learn in the future; I know that’s a little naughty and I’m still learning some manners such as not jumping up! I love playing with my toys except I don’t always like to share specific chewing toys so I’ll growl at other dogs but I’m learning I can’t resource guard so you’ll have to keep teaching me, like I said I’m incredibly smart so I’ve already started learning. I also have an amazing rock collection I can’t wait to show you. I’m crate trained so I can’t eat anything I’m not supposed to while I’m unsupervised since I really like picking up rocks! I may not be the best fit for a family with young children since I jump a lot and I guess I’m not as small as I think! I love playing with all my dog friends, running laps, wrestling and playing tug-o-war. I really love the cats in my foster home but I’ve had to learn to be gentle and not to chase so now I love kissing them. I will need to continue my training and have structure so I can continue to grow into the perfect dog but I’m so excited to start bonding together and show you my big brains, you’ll fall in love immediately with my cute wiggle butt, sweet face and all of my freckles!

Story
Chocolate Chip and his siblings came into our rescue together, and we’re told their mom is an Australian Shepherd while dad remains a mystery—making him a perfectly unique little mix! He’s all puppy—full of love, curiosity, and charm—but he’s already putting in the work! Chocolate Chip is currently in training classes and is quickly turning into quite the little gentleman. This sweet boy absolutely loves his people. Whether he’s cuddling up close or heading out on long walks, he’s happiest when he’s by your side. He has a special way of bonding and will make a loyal, loving companion for the lucky family who adopts him. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate pup with tons of potential and personality, Chocolate Chip is your guy! If you are interested in meeting Chocolate Chip, you can meet him and all of our rescue pups every Saturday from 11:30-2:00p at PetSmart 620 W. 17th St Costa Mesa, CA 92627

Story
Chula is a vibrant 2.5-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix weighing 17 pounds, and she’s ready to bring energy, fun, and love into her forever home! She came to A Home 4 Ever Rescue after being found as a stray and brought to the Hesperia Animal Shelter, and now she’s looking for a family to call her own. This happy girl loves everyone she meets—she’s friendly, outgoing, and always ready to make a new friend. True to her breed mix, Chula is very active and thrives when she has plenty of exercise and room to run. A home with a large yard or an active lifestyle would be perfect for her so she can burn off energy and stay happy and healthy. Chula would do best with a family who can keep up with her playful spirit and give her the attention, activity, and engagement she needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or outdoor adventures, she’ll be your enthusiastic companion every step of the way. If you’re ready to welcome a fun-loving, energetic pup into your life, Chula could be your perfect match! You can meet Chula at the Costa Mesa PetSmart (620 W. 17th St., Costa Mesa) on Saturdays.

Story
Zoe is a tricolor Mini Australian Shepherd who turned 10 on April 20. She’s affectionate, active, and loves to cuddle. Zoe is house-trained, spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and in excellent health with recent bloodwork. She’s had consistent vet care, grooming, dental cleanings, and monthly flea/heartworm prevention.She does best as the only pet in a home but would be fine with another dog if they get along. She’s best in a home with older teens/adults. She doesn’t do well at dog parks or around young children due to her herding instincts. Zoe needs daily exercise and prefers to be around her owner during the day, not alone.We’re sadly rehoming Zoe because her unease around loud kids and herding instincts have caused her to nip and we have another baby on the way with a toddler to manage already. She would do great in any other household and is very loyal, obedient, and affectionate. She does VERY well on plane flights and is generally calm. Message me with questions.
