Story

Luna is a smart, affectionate, and energetic dog who is also naturally protective. She’ll always let you know if someone is at the door, and she takes her job of looking out for her family seriously. She has nipped and has been known to growl at dogs or people when she feels the need to protect her loved ones, but with consistent training and structure, her guarding instincts can absolutely be managed. Luna is VERY smart and loves to show off her athletic side — especially when catching a frisbee in mid-air! Like most Australian Shepherds, she needs plenty of mental stimulation and physical activity to keep her happy and balanced. Daily exercise, playtime, and continued training will help her thrive. With the right home that understands her breed, provides guidance, and gives her an outlet for her energy, Luna will make a loyal, fun, and devoted companion.

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.

Oceanside, CA

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

How this pet arrived: Alfie was brought in by his previous owner on November 23, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Alfie! Alfie is a lively, playful boy who loves toys, enrichment, and anything that keeps his busy brain happy. He may start off a bit shy, so he appreciates slow introductions and the space to build trust at his own pace. A low-traffic home with kids 12+ would suit him best, and make sure everyone is present to meet him. He can get a little nippy when he's excited, but once he's comfortable, he enjoys grooming, petting, and even baths. And when playtime is over, he'll happily drop his toy and settle right down. Alfie has successfully lived with a calm dog friend before, but rambunctious canine roommates are definitely a no-go. If you have another dog, slow, controlled introductions are a must. He's also proudly crate trained, giving him a cozy spot to relax. If you're looking for a playful companion who thrives with patience and structure, Alfie might just be the perfect match! At SDHS:Alfie has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He is now ready for his new home! Shy/Fearful Dog: Alfie requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about him. Primary Color: Red Secondary Color: White Weight: 43.6 Age: 5yrs 9mths 2wks

Story

Dyno was born near Seattle WA and moved down to San Diego county when he was 6 months old. Dyno just celebrated his 11th birthday. He has become more of a porch dog in the past few years. Dyno loves to be outside and loves car rides. He can no longer make it through miles of walking and is happy with the neighborhood strolls. Unfortunately my 1 year old daughter is allergic to Dyno and we are moving out of state. We are trying to find a home where someone can give him the time and attention he deserves.
