Story
Australian Shepherd mix, femaleWelcome Molly!  Her beauty is unmatched and her spirit even lovelier. She doesn’t know a stranger and touch is her love language.  Her fosters  have taken some time to get to know her and here is what they have to report: Molly is 100% sweetheart. She loves her people to the Nth degree. Scratch that, she loves ALL people to the Nth degree. Arguably maybe too much sometimes. If you get down on the ground, you will have a dog right up in your face, and if you're not careful you're tripping on her. She's moderately treat motivated, but 100% affection motivated when it comes to training. She responds really well to gentle correction. Her paperwork says she's 1 Y, 40lbs but she acts like a big puppy. She's a little ornery, and very bouncy and goofy. She must have at least 10 lbs of 1980's crimped fur in that curled up tail alone. She’s working on leash and house manners and picking things up quickly. She’s bunked up with a few cats and the verdict is still out there as to whether or not we can say she’s bombproof with them. Doesn’t chase the indoor cat but outdoors it’s game on and by that we think she’s just trying to play. She curious and cautious around livestock and managed to be quite helpful to her foster dad in rounding up a stray cow. Molly is located in Templeton, CA. She is microchipped, spayed, and UTD on vaccines. She appears to be an Australian shepherd mix.

Story
Watson – Mini Red Merle Australian Shepherd (Purebred)** Watson is a very affectionate and loyal dog. He’s a purebred mini red Merle Australian Shepherd with a ton of love to give. He thrives at the park and the beach, where he’s calm, playful, and happy. At home, Watson becomes very protective of both the house and our 9-year-old son. Because of this, we’re unable to have people over, and it has become difficult to host other children. As hard as it is for our family, we’ve made the decision to rehome him so our son can have friends visit safely. Watson would do best in a home **without children or other dogs**, with someone who understands his protective nature and can give him the structure and environment he needs. He truly is a loving companion—just not the right fit for our home.

Story
Border Collie maleWe thought he was a done deal! But Tarzans foster decided he is not a fit for this household. She is happy to hold him while we work on this. Tarzan is 3 years old, and trusted in the house unsupervised. He's fantastic with the family and coexists with a couple other hounds, who would rather Tarzan stay a guest! Tarzan went in to foster care very sweet, and loving with everyone the humans and their other dogs loved him! As Tarzan got comfortable, he started claiming the adult human female in their house. He wants her all to his own self. He is good with other dogs, if you have friends with dogs or take him around other dogs. He would just be a perfect only dog. A lot of times we need a dog to be in a home with dogs. So here a good opportunity for a one dog gig! The foster is recommending a no cat home as well. But he's great with kids and all people. Tarzan is in Orange, Ca. More photos and updates:  https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1622189228742725&type=3 Interested in Tarzan?
