Story
This beautifully marked boy is Jake. He is a 3 years old Australian Shepherd mix who weighs 50 pounds. Jake is a smart guy. He knows: sit, stay, down, off, kennel, and paw. He likes to "help" put boxes in recycling, likes to "help" take out the trash! He is also house trained. Jake is good with people. He is initially stand-offish when meeting new people and warms up when given a moment. Like so many other herders, he likes to make his own introduction. With people in his home, Jake will pick one person and that person is his: he is friendly with everyone in the house, but he will always follow that one person no matter what. Jake lives with a small dog and is polite with him. He is also friendly with a family member’s dog when they visit. He seems to prefer polite dogs. Jake is good on leash. He can pull on leash sometimes, so sometimes needs a reminder to not do so. Jake is fine in the car. He prefers shorter trips. He did take a two-days road trip and was polite but didn’t settle. So he is more of a local drive kind of guy. Jake does have ear allergies, but a $10 one-year supply of "Allerclear" from Costco manages it just fine. Jake likes to run and play hard, and that can cause him to get a bit of a limp after play. Then, he recovers and is back at play. He is starting Dasuquin to help so he can keep up that active play. Jake will cuddle to watch tv for about 20-30 minutes, then he gets too hot and wants to lie down by himself. He can identify toys by name and color and will retrieve them on command. Jake is best friend material: loyal, engaging, smart. He only needs a home because he is not a fit with the special needs family member in the home. Jake is neutered and microchipped. He is located in Lompoc, CA. Adopters must be able to meet and adopt here. A home visit and vet reference are required to adopt.

Found him on Newhope and Paloma, garden grove. He looks like he is mixed with Australian shepherd and pitbull. He is trained and do cute. Knows how to sit and paw and he’s not aggressive at all, feed him by hand he will not bite off ur finger unlike other dogs be aggressive. Not sure of his age looks around 3-5. He is very nice to other dogs and cats as-well. Kids and people too, sometimes if u walk him he gets over protective with you and try to protect you from people walking by. He only eats like fresh food not kibble or dry foods. Loves squeaky toys. When we found him we got him groomed and flea bath. Got him toys and so much treats and food, but sadly we can’t keep him any longer. If price is to much I understand I can do $100. PLEASE HELP BROWNIE FIND A GOOD HOME DONT WANT HIM TO GO TO THE SHELTERS AND THEY WILL EUTHANASIA HIM. If PRICE is to much but you want him please dm a NEGOTIABLE price.

Story
Breanna IS AVAILALBE (updated 05-07-2025).To meet any of our dogs you must first complete our online adoption application on our website. For more information and the adoption application for Breanna, please visit our website belowhttp://www.coastalgsr.org/dog_profile.php?ID=22826&name=BreannaBreanna&#39s foster recently said that her name should be &#39Bubbles&#39, because she is bubbly and happy all of the time. She is one of the most happy-go-lucky puppies they ever fostered. Breanna is always bouncing around and she absolutely loves other dogs. She doesn&#39t mind cuddling up with her people too. Breanna is super playful, loves her training, and is both praise and treat motivated. She can use a doggy door and she is potty trained. Breanna sleeps in a crate all night long. As long as Breanna has her lamb, she will sleep through the night. She loves her lamb.Breanna is in a foster home with cats. She is being &#39cat trained&#39 by the cats. She has been whacked by them and has become more respectful of them, but she still thinks it is fun to see them run and for her to chase them.Breanna loves to be outside. She actually prefers it. She likes to chill on the deck around the pool but she has not shown any indication that she would like to go in it or go swimming.Background on Breanna: she is one of five puppies that came to Orange County to join the Coastal GSR family. Breanna and her siblings were found in an Orange Grove by a Good Samaritan who brought them to his house. She appears to be a mix of Australian Shepherd and possibly German Shepherd. Breanna would do well in a home where people are around most of the time and will include her in their lives. We recommend that Breanna go to a home that has another playful dog(s) since she enjoys the company of other dogs so much.The minimum adoption donation for adults is $375 and the adoption donation for puppies is $500. This amount only partially covers the cost of veterinary care, boarding fees, and other miscellaneous expenses involved in the temporary care and adoption of our dogs and is tax deductible. The adoption donation provides that all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis ( i.e., puppies who will need to be altered by 6 mos old). Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.May 7, 2025, 4:52 pm

Story
Xander came to us as an Owner Surrender and had previously been in a pretty chaotic home environment. He was initially very shut down and underweight. We took time to allow him to come out of his shell and find his paws in a new home environment. During his stay with us he has been neutered, microchipped and titer tested for vaccine levels. The Good. Xander is a sweet boy! He bonds closely to his chosen people (women preferred, as he is very, very timid with men and will hide). He loves to play with other dogs in his size range (25-lbs max) and is crate trained. When he need to go outside, he stands by his foster-Mum's patio door to go out to potty. He likes toys, is learning fetch, and loves to chew. He lives for belly rubs! He knows sit and down and responds lovely to his name.Xander is good on car rides. His foster home has children, but they are dog savvy and are used to herding breeds that will nip their heels. The Not So Good. The not so good is no small pets (cats/hamsters/tortoise), as he has an inbuilt prey drive. He needs a routine lifestyle, not a lot of traffic coming in and out of the house or rowdy teenagers. He will alert bark, but redirects. Xander is initially fearful due to some not so good human interactions so he needs time to warm up. Xander is located in Orange County, CA - no out of state adoptions

Story
Meet River! River is a 5-month-old pup who weighs about 35 pounds. We think he might be a Collie/Shepherd/Border Collie mix — and he’s every bit as wonderful as that sounds.   River is a little shy when meeting new people, but once he warms up, his sweet and gentle personality shines through. He loves going for walks and is happiest when he’s around other dogs. He’s playful, social, and really blossoms with canine companionship.   River would do best in a home with another friendly dog and people who will give him just a little time to settle in. Once he feels safe, he’s incredibly loyal and loving.   Come meet River — he’s ready to find his forever family!     For a complete list of our pets and photos please visit our website fochp.org  July 4, 2025, 6:06 pm
