Journey
"JOURNEY" is a 1-year old black tri female purebred Australian Shepherd. She was owned by a college student who did not have time for her. She is timid with new people and new situations. However in the short time she has been in foster care, she has been good with dogs and people. She is very active, loves to run. She is a great swimmer. She knows some basic obedience cues. Potential adopters must be Aussie experienced without kids and not leave her home alone longer than 6 hours a day. Ideally, she would go to a home with another male dog.

"BUDDY" is a 5 year old neutered male Aussie with a shorter coat, weighing about 45 pounds. 
He is looking for a home where he can be inside again and have more interaction with his family….hubby in the current home is allergic to him and now that he’s retired and home more, getting worse to where it is causing him asthma attacks, even with Buddy being primarily outdoors now. Buddy did used to sleep indoors with one of the kids and was fine (now sleeps in garage). Buddy has been fine with other dogs, used to go to the dog park and was okay, does live with 2 other small male dogs and has been fine with them, nervous around cats, good with the kids in the household, is reserved at first meeting strangers but if you can offer him up some good treats, he warms up 😊 He has a medium energy level, enjoys walks, plays ball for a bit, but really enjoys a good belly rub 😊 He can be protective of his yard and his people, so like most Aussies, does need to be introduced first (again, good treats go far), but is a loving boy once he knows you. If you are interested in this sweet boy, please contact his owner: 626.255.5388 or email: cramerrsvp@gmail.com (Glendora area)(2-20)Buster
"BUSTER" is a roughly 18 month old neutered male Shepherd type mix. He is current on shots. Buster is the sweetest guy and is in need of a home where he can be an inside and outside dog. He loves to run and chase, he plays fetch but doesn’t always bring the ball back...work in progress. He is wonderful with children, adults, females and males. He always greets people with a wagging tail. He is gentle too when he wants to sit on your lap . He rolls over all the time for belly rubs and knows how to sit and shake. He has been good with other dogs of similar size or bigger, but I don’t recommend him to live with small dogs - when he saw a Chihuahua, he fixated on it like he wanted to chase it. Because of this I don’t recommend he live with cats either. We originally adopted Buster from the shelter, where he had been picked up as a stray (so no background information) as we wanted a companion for our female dog and to help her protect our property and farm animals. Our female was in fight mode from the beginning, we’ve worked with her to accept him, but months have gone by and she just wants to attack him. He defends himself so they both get hurt, so I now keep them separated. We require our dogs to be outside mainly but Buster would really prefer to be indoors with his family and I feel bad for him. An ideal home would have a fenced yard and/or someone to take him on walks everyday and play with him. He would make a wonderful companion dog, therapy dog and family dog. Buster has so much love to give!" If you are interested in giving Buster a loving home, please fill out our adoption application and we will forward it onto his owners: https://www.aussierescuesocal.com/applications/adoption_v2/ (Temecula area) (2-20)Koko
"KOKO" is a 13 month old Australian Cattle/Husky mix with lots of love to give. She is 
crate trained and was living in our home for about 9 months. Unfortunately our 4 month old daughter is allergic to cats/dogs. We are looking for a great family/companion that would provide Koko with lots of love and attention. She is trained with basic commands but would need some refresher training as she is living with my in-laws. She is an active breed that loves playing fetch at the park with a frisbee /ball and long walks/runs. She also gets along with other dogs and loves the dog park. She has all her shots and is spayed. Best fit would be an active family/owner with another pet, as she does get anxious when we leave or if she has nothing to keep her entertained. If you are interested in Koko, please contact her owners at 714-209-2579 or email: ejeenyus@yahoo.com (Chino area) (2-20)Callie
"CALLIE" is a 5 year old spayed female blue merle purebred Aussie. She has lived 
with a loving family her whole life. However, her family had a child and with another baby on the way, Callie is too rambunctious for the toddler and has grabbed food from toddler’s hands, not being overly careful about it. The family has tried a trainer and medications to calm Callie down but ultimately she needs a different living situation. She's needs a yard and a family that will be able to exercise her more.Sophie
"SOPHIE", Australian Cattle Dog MixSophie is approximately 14 years old, female, spayed. She was a family surrender to a
shelter in Los Angeles and was housed there for six months prior to adoption by my spouse's mother. Due to my spouse's mother's death, we are now fostering her in search of a new home for her. She is not compatible with cats (we have two). She comes on strong initially with other dogs, but mellows out after time and a few introductions. She loves to go on walks and heals well, plays ball and continues to have moderate to high energy. She is an excellent companion, although she loves to sleep on the couch and cuddles on pillows. If you are interested in this senior gal, please fill out our adopt app: https://www.aussierescuesocal.com/applications/adoption_v2/ and we will forward it on to her caregivers (Torrance/South Bay area) (1-20)Yogi
"YOGI" is a 6 yr old neutered red tri male Aussie, weighs about 100 pounds, is 
housebroken and well behaved in the house. His owner moved in with family and it is a small house with a small yard and no place for Yogi to run around. He currently lives with 3 other dogs and is okay overall but can be food aggressive/possessive and has bitten one of the other small male dogs over food (did need medical attention) so we recommend he be an only pet. He did nip the owner’s mother once when she stepped between he and one of the smaller dogs also, but no blood was drawn. He does not do well with strangers outside of his home, but if properly introduced to someone that comes to his home, he does warm up after awhile - he is very protective of the people he loves though. He seems okay around kids but does not live with any, and does chase cats. He does okay going to the vet and the groomer, but does pull pretty hard on the leash when out/on walks so will need some work with that. If you are interested in Yogi, please fill out our adoption application: https://www.aussierescuesocal.com/applications/adoption_v2/ and we will forward it to his owner. (Riverside area)Walker
Name: Walker
Age: 3 years old
Gender: Male
Breed: Australian Shepherd
Weight: 52 lbs
"WALKER" is a snuggly guy once he gets to know you. He will need an experienced Aussie savvy home. Walker has been friendly with his foster family and volunteers but often needs to be introduced to new people carefully. He is not comfortable when people stare at him and he definitely does not want to own people’s insecurities. He will bark or growl to show he is not comfortable. Walker is also noise sensitive to loud noise like fireworks, gun shots and thunder. He has been great with other dogs and is very friendly. Walker will need a family with no children and a home with a secure fenced yard. Another friendly dog would be ideal but not required. He is unknown with cats.

Jewell
"JEWELL" is an 8 years old; Female; Mix, short wavy hair; 45 lbs Jewell is truly a jewel. She is a mix of several breeds making her a one of a kind
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 eyes. She is still very shy with new people but usually will take food. Jewell has learned to walk on a leash but may need coaxing in new situations. Jewell has been great with her foster dog siblings and is very easy to live with. She is not good with cats! Because she is so shy, we ask for a home with at least a small yard and with no children since they will overwhelm her.
If you would like to adopt Jewell and give her a loving home, please fill out our adoption application http://bit.ly/ARSD-AdoptionApp. Answer every question even if with “n/a” or it will not submit. We will respond to your application within 48 hours. If you do not hear from us, email us at info@aussierescuesandiego.org.

Beau
"BEAU" is a neutered male Australian Cattle Dog Mix, he is 2.5 years old, fixed and current on shots (2/2/2018). Beau is a great dog, but has a very high energy level and some anxiety issues. He needs to be on a property with a lot of land and/or with an owner that is home more often. I walk and take Beau to the dog park as often as I can, but he still has a tremendous amount of energy. Beau does pretty well with other dogs although he can get nervous around large dogs. He has a companion dog with which he gets along well (my 4 year old Chihuahua mix Scooter). Beau has not shown aggression towards people except when I have taken him to the vet. However, he can be skittish around new people. He has received training and knows his basic commands. If you are interested in Beau, please contact owner Jaime at ggu926@yahoo.com (Bakersfield area) (10-18)
