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. If you are interested in a particular dog please FILL OUT an Adoption Application at our website @ http://bajadogrescue.org/ready-to-adopt/adopt and we can schedule you for an appointment to meet with a particular dog if it is available.

Cielo (sky in spanish) Chula (gorgeous in mexican) is for sure a love bug- she loves other dogs, small, large, young and senior as well as cats - she has been around cats at her foster homes but never in the same couch or area - only across from her sight. She looks stunning beautiful once you see her:) She loves water and she is very outgoing - loves to explore. She is an ideal medium size, has a nice chocolate coat, with white socks and a white glove on her front leg - just so gorgeous:) She has the most beautiful baby blue eyes who looks at you with all her puppy love. She loves to kiss you and loves to go around the other other dogs cleaning their face and giving them kisses - just a doll:) She will be ideal for any family. However, we do prefer her to go to a home where there is another dog - if you do not have 2nd dog, we do have other dogs he gets along with such as famous to be star for Discovery Channel "Grace" She loves to go for walks, she is leash trained; and she is potty trained, which is hard to find on rescued dogs. Also, she is crate trained. Are you ready to give her a forever home?
