Story
SHYA is a 1 year 3 month old Australian Kelpie, weighing about 28lbs. She was lost and taken to an overcrowded shelter where she was not claimed in time and was due to be euthanized, but was saved by an emergency foster at the last minute. She now needs her forever home as soon as possible. Shya is very sweet and loving, but a bit shy, timid and scared (non-aggressive, submissive), and needs preferably a female human with a little time and patience to help her learn to trust again. She settled into her foster home within a couple of hours, and is very playful and affectionate with her foster mom. She loves cuddles and belly rubs! Shya does suffer from some separation anxiety, and will need to be helped through this. Shya gets on well with other dogs. Submissive and cautious at first, she loves to chase and be chased by small dogs, or dogs her own size. Wrestling is also great fun! She is good with large, chill dogs, but scared of boisterous dogs, or dogs that bark continually. SHYA is fully housebroken, spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations. She is smart, with a lovely temperament, and will make a wonderful addition to a loving person’s life.

Buster was rescued as a tiny pup from a side walk in South Central. He's all grown up now at a perfect medium size. He LOOOOVES to play with other dogs and toys. He's great inside the home and super affectionate. Buster is looking for an adult household with yard access. He would love to find a home with another dog as a companion that is young and playful. He has a friend named Cookie at our rescue so if you are looking for two dogs, these two are great together! Buster loves car rides, the dog park and walks in the park or hikes around the area!

Story
Archie was found in the streets of Santa Monica. His owners were called but never came for him. I’ve adopted him and am trying to find his forever home so he doesn’t have to go back to the shelter. So far Archie is such a sweet hearted and well mannered puppy. I’ve started to train him on a lead and can tell he’s smart and will come along quickly. He’s great around my 4 year old daughter and seems to know not to jump on her. Sadly my senior dog will not tolerate his puppy energy. Archie also is dealing with separation anxiety right now and takes some time to calm down when left alone in his crate. I’ve worked on coming and going for short durations and have already seen improvement. For someone with love and commitment, Archie will be amazing dog
