Story
Australian Shepherd mix, femaleWelcome Molly!  Her beauty is unmatched and her spirit even lovelier. She doesn’t know a stranger and touch is her love language.  Her fosters  have taken some time to get to know her and here is what they have to report: Molly is 100% sweetheart. She loves her people to the Nth degree. Scratch that, she loves ALL people to the Nth degree. Arguably maybe too much sometimes. If you get down on the ground, you will have a dog right up in your face, and if you're not careful you're tripping on her. She's moderately treat motivated, but 100% affection motivated when it comes to training. She responds really well to gentle correction. Her paperwork says she's 1 Y, 40lbs but she acts like a big puppy. She's a little ornery, and very bouncy and goofy. She must have at least 10 lbs of 1980's crimped fur in that curled up tail alone. She’s working on leash and house manners and picking things up quickly. She’s bunked up with a few cats and the verdict is still out there as to whether or not we can say she’s bombproof with them. Doesn’t chase the indoor cat but outdoors it’s game on and by that we think she’s just trying to play. She curious and cautious around livestock and managed to be quite helpful to her foster dad in rounding up a stray cow. Molly is located in Templeton, CA. She is microchipped, spayed, and UTD on vaccines. She appears to be an Australian shepherd mix.

Story
Aussie mix, femaleChica is a 4-yr old, 59 lbs. Aussie mix, probably with German Shepherd. She came in from Kern County. No room there for a big girl.  She's absolutely lovely with my dogs. And went without saying, she's very respectful of people. Gentle too. Doesn't jump, very nice on leash.  Chica needed some exercise and attention.  She's got a routine. She knows where she's eating, sleeping, walking. She hasn’t been on an off leash walk yet, but you can tell it's imminent. It's just that she didn't know this name. But she sees the whistle brings everyone. So we're doing long line recall with the whistle on our walks. She's doing great!  Chica is spayed, chipped, and up to date on vaccines. Chica is in Templeton. More photos and updates:  https://www.facebook.com/www.cchdrescue.org/  search in posts and photo albums.

Story
Watson; Mini Red Merle Australian Shepherd (Purebred)** Watson is a very affectionate and loyal dog. He is a purebred mini red Merle Australian Shepherd with a ton of love to give. He thrives at the beach. At home, Watson becomes very protective of both the house and our 9-year-old son. Because of this, we are unable to have people over, and it has become difficult to host other children. As hard as it is for our family, we have made the decision to rehome him so our son can have friends visit safely. Watson would do best in a home **without children or other dogs**, with someone who understands his protective nature and can give him the structure and environment he needs. He truly is a loving companion.We are looking for someone local who will allow us to see him.

Story
Hi there! My name is Willa and I'm an 8 month old Aussie available at the Santa Maria Campus. Don't let my shy demeanor fool you, once I'm comfortable with you- I love attention. I'm wiggly and full of energy. I know my basic commands- and working on shake! 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 Hills Science Diet 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!

Story
Goose is a sweet & sassy companion who loves belly rubs, squeaky toys, walks, and being by your side. She was adopted by us when she was 4, and we’re now in an unfortunate situation (divorce) where neither of us can take her due to unknown/unstable housing and we are both heart broken. Goose has been a cherished member of our family for almost 4 years, where she’s lived her best life in a rural setting. Challenges: Goose had a hard early life before we adopted her so she is not great with other dogs unless slowly introduced first. (Fearful of other dogs.) She does have a high prey drive, so not good with other small animals or cats. Untested with small children. Goose is very smart, energetic and strong, so she needs an adult to walk her (she can pull on the leash when excited, but we have been working with a gentle leader and is doing really well). She thrives with daily walks and playtime. She would do best in a home where she gets plenty of exercise and attention and love.
