Andy
"ANDY" is a 10 year old, male, Mini Aussie and weighs 25 pounds
Not only is he adorable, Andy is also a very sweet and loving guy once he gets to know you. He was rescued from a commercial breeder where he was not socialized so he is very skittish and will run when scared. He has been fine with other dogs...not necessarily interested in them but not aggressive either. Andy loves to have company and enjoys treats and pets too. If you are interested in adopting Andy, please fill out an adoption application http://aussierescuesandiego.org/foster-and-volunteer/adoptionapplication/(8-18)
Layla
This is "LAYLA". The shelter said she is Cattle dog/ Dalmatian. She is approximately 50 pounds and 
estimated to be 12 years old. I rescued her at the LA animal shelter. She was on her last days there with no adoption and was submitted in early July. She is spayed and up to date on shots with a microchip. She is registered with LA county. She is the most mellow dog around. She does love to be outside, so someone with some sort of yard with grass is ideal for her. I did notice she barks at little dogs, but is not aggressive. She tries to keep up with my Australian cattle dog who is 7 but she has some hip problems. She is a little wobbly and shaky when walking and sitting. She sometimes leans over when sitting cause she can’t support herself. She was filthy (and has been groomed) and has some skin issues. Nothing major and nothing a bath can’t fix. She is missing teeth and slowly chews food. She is friendly with other dogs and just likes to hangout. My dog has already nipped her so I have to keep them separate. I am located in Orange County. The ideal person who can foster or adopt this precious would have time for her and have some sort of yard. She is so easy to care for and is the sweetest. I would require a meet and greet and a thorough interview before accepting fosters or adoptions. She deserves a great home. Contact: Jeanette @ 714-856-2523 or jeanetten2@ymail.com (8-18)

Carter
"CARTER" is a 1 year old, male, Aussie that weights 30lbs. Carter is a sweet shy fellow. He needs a home with a friendly playful dog who can help him develop more confidence while having fun. This boy has lots of silly antics up his sleeve and can often be found with some new treasure in his mouth ? Carter is from a commercial breeder who did not socialize him. Many things will be new to him. So far, he has done very well with learning to come and is also learning basic house manners. He has done great with his foster siblings (25-50 lbs)! He loves to play with them and often jumps, sits or lays on them. Secure dog friendly yard is a must! No children please. He needs to gain more confidence first.

Jewel
"JEWEL" 8 years old, female, short hair Aussie mix. Jewell was at a local shelter where she was so shut down, staff members had to carry her when moving her. She was very sick with pyometra, scabies, skin infection and more. They took excellent care of her and we rescued her as soon as we had an open spot.
Jewell has come a long way! She is now healthy, has a gorgeous coat and sweet adoring eye. She is still very shy with new people but usually will take food. Jewell has learned to walk on a leash but still needs coaxing in new situations. Jewell has been great with her foster dog siblings and is very easy to live with. If you would like to give a shy dog a chance and think you want to adopt Jewell, please fill out an adoption application http://aussierescuesandiego.org/foster-and-volunteer/adoptionapplication/ (8-18)
Kody
"KODY" Unfortunately we are looking to rehome this 8 year old neutered male Aussie. Kody was the pet of a single man. I don’t 
know a lot about his old life, he was with his previous owner from the time he was a puppy until his owner took seriously ill and passed away last year. We adopted him from someone who cared for him for several months. Kody is very affectionate with people but can become aggressive with other dogs. Unfortunately we don’t know what triggers him. Food definitely can be the issue but there are other times there is nothing identifiable that precedes him biting another dog in his yard. He hasn’t gone after a dog while on leash, just at home. He is fearful of loud noises, like fireworks, thunder and motorcycles. Kody is a large male at 65 pounds. He is healthy, up to date on all vaccinations and chipped. He is good for the vet and the groomer. He plays fetch and knows basic commands. He definitely wants to please. He came to us with the reputation of going after cats. I wouldn’t leave him alone in the house with my cats, but he has definitely learned to respect that they are part of the family too and not to be chased. If you are interested in this affectionate boy, please contact Connie @ (949)463-7032 (Norco area) (7-18)

Kuma
Unfortunately Kuma's last adoption did not work out - he does need to be an only pet in the home.
"KUMA" is a neutered male, 8 years young. He is housebroken, uses a doggie door, rides well in 
the car, and enjoys playing fetch/ball. He has been good with current owner's 11 year old grandson and four kids next door, ages 4 to 11. He has had a recent check up and has a clean bill of health. Kuma is up to date on all his vaccines. He can be nervous to start when meeting new people but once he warms up, he is affectionate. Kuma loves his walks and car rides.
He attended doggie day care with other dogs where he is mostly aloof. He can be reactive to dogs on the leash. So best he is with someone experienced as he does lunge at them while out on walks and once pulled his elderly owner into a telephone pole, injuring her (if no dogs are around, he walks well on the leash). She does have a dog walker take him out now, but he is also becoming very protective of her and he is just too strong for her to handle, he's been resource guarding some of her belongings and she is unable to stop him. Kuma is very smart and can be trained not to do this and would be best with a younger, more active owner, he does better with women than men. His groomer says he does very well being groomed.
His prior owner passed away 2 years ago, and that is when his current owner took him in, and unfortunately she is unable to take care of him herself now. If you are able to give Kuma a loving home, please contact Mickie at mickie.c.robbins@gmail.com (Manhattan Beach area) (7-18)
Fluff
Meet Fluff. Fluff is a black bi-colored (black & white) Australian Shepherd and is about 7 years old. 
He was an owner surrender to the shelter, because his person was moving. He is very sweet and is really looking to bond with his person. Typical of his Aussie heritage, he is engaging and sweet. He likes to play ball, and he is a gentleman and brings it back to you. He is well socialized with other dogs. He does guard his ball, but is respectful when playing with another dog if that dog gets the ball first. He walks well on a leash, and appears to know some basic obedience. Since he is in a kennel environment, the stimulus is a bit much for him. He does react to the other dogs when they bark at him while on leash. This may be just being in a kennel environment.
If you are interested in meeting our dogs, please fill out an adoption application. We require a pre-approved application to be on file before any meet and greets are scheduled. The electronic application can be found on our website at http://www.bordercolliesinneed.org/border_collie_rescue_and_adoptions/adoption_application.html (6-18)
Colt
"COLT" needs a new home asap! He is not good with the other dogs he is currently living with.
Colt is a three year old, neutered male and weighs 30 lbs
Per owner:
"Colt is an amazing, athletic, smart, eager to please dog who knows basic commands as well as functional ones like staying out of the kitchen. He needs a home with no other dogs and an owner who can make sure he is safe around other dogs. He loves to cuddle and would be an ideal dog for a VERY active person who likes to hike and run. He runs 3-5 miles a day and gets out to play with a ChuckIt 2-3 times a day. He currently has 1/2 acre to run around and is on a raw diet due to skin allergies. We have a house cat whom he gets along with, they walk around together and sit near each other, though I never have them together unmonitored. Gets along great with kids, pukes in the car every time with or without food in his tummy" Colt is currently living with horses, goats, other dogs, a cat, a tortoise, and a potbelly pig. He has not once shown aggression towards any of the other animals other than the dogs. Colt is very well trained. He doesn’t use a leash when out and about and he will not wander if the gate is left open. Colt plays and does well at dog parks. He is highly motivated with a ball and one on one time with a person.
