Story
This is Rusty! He’s a 10 year old Australian shepherd male. Overall he’s a very good boy. We have a toddler that loves to explore and is a little too rough with rusty. He has gotten irritated and tried nibbling at her. We’ve decided the best thing to do is find a new home for him. Among other things, we think it’s best for him to go to a home with old kids that won’t push him or interrupt his feeding time. He usually does well with other dogs that aren’t too hyper. Sometimes he will bark/growl at dogs that don’t play with him gently. He gets very excited with small animals so I don’t recommend him going to home with those. He has bitten me and my boyfriend while we tried to restrain him from going outside while a stranger was at the door. I will update his vaccines. I usually have him groomed also.

Story
Meet Ripley 💛 Ripley is a loyal, affectionate cuddle bug who bonds deeply with her person and loves nothing more than snuggling up close. She’s pretty chill at home most of the time, but she also has an adventurous side — she loves hiking, swimming, and being outdoors, then coming home to relax right by your side. Ripley is potty trained and crate trained, and her crate is her safe space. She does best when she has structure and supervision — when she gets bored, she can become destructive, so she cannot be left alone outside of her crate. (Her favorite chew toy is… a Birkenstock shoe, so hide yours ) Ripley has done training and has made big improvements, but she can still be reactive with dogs behind fences (especially if the other dog starts barking), and she may react to fast-moving things like scooters, bikes, and joggers, so we avoid those situations as much as possible. Ripley would thrive in a home where she is the only dog, so she can fully relax.

Story
Nyx is 5 and turns 6 in April. Her original family was relocated to Japan due to military orders and;t able to take her with them and asked me to take her in. I cannot support having 2 dogs now due to my schedule and having a newborn. She does best with a male in the house. She is crate trained and is house trained. She loves other dogs but is unsure about cats. I don’t have her records because her original owners haven’t gotten them to me and I can’t access them at the vet office because I haven’t been added to her file but her shots are due in April.

Story
Meet Edison or Edi... Edi is a perfect dog, he's loving, well trained and very easy. We adopted Edi when he was four months old, he was at the humane society after being returned by two families after learning he was deaf. I did not want a deaf dog, my wife fell in love and we adopted Reggie and renamed him Edison. As it turned out, having a deaf dog was so much better than expected. We taught him signs, he stays close and is content just lounging in the sun. The only downside we found was we don't let him off leash around other dogs because they get too aggressive and he barks at the mailman. Edi is now seven and we have a newborn so are looking to find a good home as the newborn is too much for Edi and he's increasingly anxious. Edi will be a perfect dog for a family without other dogs or cats with no kids or older kids. We are located in Point Loma San Diego and will be working to find Edi the perfect home he deserves.
