MEET ROCKY, a 1-year-old Australian Kelpie in need of a foster or forever home! Rocky is a very affectionate dog who loves both humans and dogs alike! He weighs only 40 lbs., and is a loving boy. Kelpies are intelligent dogs, believed to have been descended from Border Collies. They love to be stimulated with walks and other activities. Rocky would do best in an active home where his person or people work from home, or are retired, as he loves company. He'd also thrive in a home with another dog, though it's not a necessity. Please email for an application.

Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story
Shuffles is a sweet, energetic young dog who has been thriving in her foster home. She walks nicely on leash in low-distraction environments, does very well in her crate, and has been wonderful with her foster’s 10-year-old son. She is also living with cats and mostly ignores them, though she is curious and may bark occasionally. Shuffles enjoys being near her people, whether she’s curled up next to them or relaxing in the same room, and she has an adorable habit of wagging her tail so hard her entire back end wiggles.As she has settled in, more of her puppy personality has come out. Shuffles is playful, affectionate, and eager to learn. She is food-motivated, catches on to training quickly, and already knows cues such as wait, sit, and down. Like many young dogs, she still has some manners to work on, including jumping up when excited, puppy mouthiness, and scavenging for things on the floor. She can also be slightly reactive at times to certain people or dogs while out on walks, though this is inconsistent. With patient guidance, structure, and continued positive reinforcement, she is very capable of improvement.Shuffles does well when supervised, settles nicely inside the home, and even knows to signal when she needs to go outside by booping the door. She enjoys games like fetch and tug, but she is equally happy to curl up for a nap - often on her back with her belly in the air! Shuffles is a loving, funny, and enthusiastic companion who will thrive in a home that can give her guidance, patience, fun, and plenty of affection.

Muffin: Certified Couch PotatoNot every cattle dog is chasing cows andclimbing mountains. Muffin’s chasing something far more elusive — theperfect nap spot.At just 3 years old, Muffin has already mastered the artof taking it easy. She enjoys short walks (emphasis on short) and believesthat after 10 minutes, it’s time to reflect, rest, and possibly lie down inprotest. Her volunteers have learned to plan routes that end exactly whereshe decides the adventure is over — usually near shade or snacks.Muffin isn’t lazy — she’s efficient. She saves her energy for the important thingsin life: snacks, cuddles, and quality time on the couch. If you’re lookingfor a laid-back companion who’d rather binge-watch than power walk, Muffinis your girl.Adopt Muffin, and gain a professional lounger, world-classcuddler, and the ultimate reminder that sometimes slowing down is the bestway to enjoy the ride.

Story
Hi there! My name is Turnip and I'm at the Santa Barbara Campus. I am a 4 month old, spayed female, Queensland/Shepherd mix. I'm a little shy, but I really come out of my shell around other dogs. I will need a home with a friendly, socially confident dog who can help me learn about the world. Adoptions are open 12pm-4:30pm every day, except Wednesdays, and no appointment is needed. Like all SBH animals, when I am adopted I will have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Adoptions also include a certificate for a complimentary post-adoption veterinary exam from a local clinic and our partners at Purina will provide a supply of food for my first few days at home. Need some supplies? Both SB Humane Campuses have retail centers stocked with everything you need, at comparable prices, and your purchase helps support our mission. Hope to see you soon!
