Here's what the humans have to say about me:
COURTESY POST:
These dogs are only available in the Santa Barbara County/western Ventura County area.
Falcon and Olsa are a bonded pair, most likely father and daughter, who were left behind when their family moved away. They were in a shelter for awhile but are now in foster care.
If you want two quiet older dogs who need very little and just like to hang out, this is your answer. Both dogs are low key. They are housebroken and crate trained and good on leash. They love a neighborhood walk but are mostly happy to just hang out.
Because of undersocialization, they are very shy meeting new people and take a while to warm up. Falcon is more shy, but once he warms up to you, he is a lover who will sit next to you on the couch and ask ask ask for petting.
Both dogs are great with other dogs, with no aggression issues. We haven't seen them with cats. They would be fine with kids, but no young ones because the children would scare them!
Both dogs are vaccinated, fixed, and microchipped. They are available from Santa Barbara County Animal Services and the adoption fee is $110 per dog (although maybe we could get a 2-for-1 deal!).

We generally start with an interview to check for compatibility and give the potential adopter information about the dog
2.
Meet the Pet
If step 1 goes well, we arrange a meeting
3.
Submit Application
This step may come earlier, if it makes sense to do this prior to a meeting
Additional adoption info
Our dogs often go into foster to adopt, to give potential adopters a chance to see if it is a good match.
