Story

How this pet arrived: Alfie was brought in by their 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! Shy/Fearful Dog: This pet requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about them. Primary Color: Red Secondary Color: White Weight: 43.6 Age: 5yrs 8mths 2wks

Story

Skimmer is a miniature Australian Shepherd about 5.5 years old. I have had him since he was 8 weeks old, purchased from a breeder. I an older gentleman who is still working. Skimmer requires more attention than most dogs. He will be placed in a home with at least two adults, preferably one is a stay-at-home. Needs an active mental or physical active lifestyle, whether at home or outside. Skimmer has been professionally trained. This little critter is a dedicated tennis ball retriever, so the vetting process will require proof that he will be placed in a home with a backyard- no compromises on this. Downside: Because he is highly energetic, if he is at home alone without people, he may lick his leg to the point of baldness in a 1/2-inch area. Therefore, he needs to wear a cone when he is home alone. When walking on a leash, he will bark at other dogs. Off-leash no. He has separation anxiety when being boarded.

Story

Small Mini Australian Shepherd. 6 years old. I unfortunately never had him professionally trained so he has some behavioral issues. I think with the proper environment, a large yard, and someone who can dedicate a lot of time to him, he would be problem free. He would thrive in a home with a large yard, no children and not cats. He usually gets along with other dogs, just NOT huskies for some reason. He needs someone with a lot of experience with dogs and a very good understanding of dog training. A certified dog trainer will definitely be prioritized as top choice.

Australian Shepherd

Encinitas, CA

Size

Details

Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

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

We rescued Cosmo, his mom and 7 of his siblings from a bad home. They were less than 24 hours old and have been raising them since. We have been fostering them for the last 8 months until we can find them a home. Cosmo is our last sweet baby that is needing a home! He loves to play and run around. He does pee a little when he gets excited- but the vet said it is something he will grow out of! He is an amazing dog and needs someone who is willing to walk him and/or have a big yard!
