Story
Murphy is a 5 year old pure bred blue Merle mini Australian shepherd. 29 pounds and the sweetest boy. I got him as a puppy from a breeder in Bakersfield during CoVid. He is loving, loyal, playful, smart, loves walks and fetch. He will do great with an active single person or couple or family that does not have young (baby - 8 years kids). Aussies have the sheep herding instinct and he thinks little kids are sheep so he will bark and chase them and would need training to be around little kids. No aggression issues - super passive and will be your shadow and want to cuddle and play with you all day. If you love dogs and being active outside (hiking/walks/dog park) and want a new best friend he is the guy for you. I am single and moving out of state for work and this breaks my heart because he is as perfect as he seems but my schedule won't allow me to have him anymore. He is perfectly healthy, fully up to date on all shots and money doesnt matter - just want a loving home for him

Story
Looking for the right, child-free home for an incredible dog 🤍 We are looking to re-home our 5-year-old Aussie we took in 2 months ago, not because of any fault of his own, but due to the dogs fear of our child. He is an absolute gem of a dog and deserves a home that fits his needs. He is incredibly sweet, loving, and gentle with adults. He does great with other dogs and cats, is fully house-trained, mild-tempered, and extremely well-behaved. He listens to commands the first time, is a great listener overall, and has wonderful manners. He loves walks, car rides, and lives for playing fetch. He is very friendly with adult strangers and bonds deeply with the people he trusts. His first five years of life were unstable, considering that he's so sweet but very nervous around children and would thrive best in a calm, consistent, child-free home. This dog just needs what we can't give him right now: a loving, stable environment without kids, where continue to feel safe and secure.

Story
Kristi is a Australian Shepherd Mix. Her estimated date of birth is 8/20/2015 and she weighs 40 lbs. She is up to date on all of her shots and she is fixed. Kristi is OK with people that she knows but is not good with new people. She is better suited for a home that has no cats, no kids or other dogs or small animals.  Kristi does like to vocalize and would be best in a house as she needs a lot of space to run around. Kristi is not good alone and does need someone she can trust to be her side most of the time. Kristi requires a very special diet and does not tolerate prepackaged dog food well. She has some minor skin issues that do require weekly medication.  She has a very high energy level and would require exercise on a daily basis for at least 1 hour otherwise she has the tendency to be destructive to items.  Kristi does have some issues on a a leash and has a small problem with marking in homes.We do not have a central location to see our dogs.  Meeting any dog is by appointment ONLY currently. Appointments can be set up to meet any dog in San Diego. Currently we are unable to do any out-of-state adoptions.
