Lola is excellent with people and loves children, making her a perfect family addition. She's crate trained, housebroken, and leash trained, understanding commands like a pro. Lola was in a home where she wasn’t exposed to other dogs, which led to some excitement and reactivity on leash. She’s currently working through this and making great progress.

Story
It breaks our hearts to share that we need to find a new home for our beloved dog, Wasabi. She’s a sweet, energetic Border Collie mix who’s been part of our family for 5 wonderful years. Wasabi loves fetch, hiking, beach runs, and cuddles. She’s incredibly smart and thrives in a structured, loving environment. Unfortunately, since our daughter was born, Wasabi has struggled with the unpredictability of a toddler. We believe she’d be happier in a home where she feels more at ease. We’re looking for someone who can provide: A stable, loving environment. A yard or regular outdoor activities. No young children (older kids are fine). This is a tough decision, and we’re committed to finding the best home for Wasabi. If you or someone you know is interested, please reach out. Thank you for helping us give Wasabi the love and care she deserves.

Chino

Border Collie Alaskan Malamute

Male, Adult
Fillmore, CA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Chino is a good dog for the right home, but he has two flaws: he doesn't care to share an environment with any other dogs, and he can escape from almost any confinement. Since we like Border Collies in general, and since he was "overdue" at his animal shelter one day when we were there picking up another dog, he was also chosen and saved. We quickly learned that the part of Chino that is not Border Collie is probably one of the tundra breeds like Malamute, because we had to fully enclose every inch of his kennel to keep him in. (This was after he escaped from four previous attempts to kennel him.) The good news is that after escaping he only wanted to stay by the side of his human friends here at the rescue, so he'll need a pretty much constant human companion. Chino is about 3 years old and weighs about 80 pounds.

Blissy

Border Collie German Shepherd Dog

Female, Young
Fillmore, CA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Blissy is a 1-year-old (as of February 1, 2024) mixed breed pup whose owner had to relinquish her due to incompatibility with her other female dog, the "alpha" dog in the home. Blissy did well with the two male dogs, and in our experience here she has done well with another female that is not a dominant girl. We think she is probably Shepherd-Border Collie or some such mix, and she's incredibly smart. Blissy "play-nips" gently when excited, which makes us think Border Collie or some other herding breed may be in her gene pool. She's mostly housebroken, knows many commands (typically having to be told only once), aims to please, and loves long walks. Her ex-owner says Blissy "is an absolutely wonderful dog" whom she will greatly miss.

Listen up, folks! It`s time to meet the one and only Tj, the black and white charmer of the Australian Shepherd mix world!

He struts his stuff with such finesse that you`ll feel like you`re walking with a canine model on a fashion runway. And let`s not forget about his love for treats - this pup will do just about anything for a tasty snack. Just be prepared for some serious puppy dog eyes and a tail wag that could power a wind turbine.But Tj`s charisma doesn`t stop there. He`s a social butterfly who adores the company of other dogs. Whether it`s a game of fetch, a friendly wrestle, or a good old-fashioned belly rub session, Tj knows how to have a doggone good time. He`s the life of the doggy party, always ready to make new furry friends and spread the joy wherever he goes.Weighing in at approximately 54.00 lbs, Tj is the perfect combination of cuddly and compact. He`s got just the right amount of fluff to snuggle up with on a lazy Sunday afternoon, but he`s also agile enough to join you on all your outdoor adventures. With Tj by your side, you`ll have the best of both worlds - a loyal companion and a four-legged bundle of love.Now, here`s the scoop - Tj has been hanging out at the shelter since Nov 19, 2023.

Story
Hi I`m Lizzy, and I am here to tell you all about Me!I came into the shelter as a stray in Feb 2024. Even though no one came for me, I think I still have a lot of love and life to give and hope someone will give a chance to show it. I have struggled adjusting to shelter life, but thanks to some of my human friends I am starting to get the hang of things. I even got to be in a foster home for a whole month where I learned soooo much! I can be a little nervous in new environments, but once I get comfortable I am able to enjoy my surroundings. In foster I learned where to go potty (apparently its not inside the house, who knew?!) and how nice it is to have a comfy couch to snuggle up on. Walks are so much fun, but I am still perfecting my leash walking skills so please be patient with me. I can get excited when I see other dogs or people, but my human friends are teaching me that treats are way more fun than anything else going on around me. Speaking of other dogs, I have made some doggie friends at the shelter and have started expanding my friend group. My play style isnt for everyone, so if you already have a dog, bring them in so we can so how our vibes mix. You should also know that I am a fetch enthusiast, a pro at sit, know the place command, and have started learning so many other things. I dont want to brag, but I am pretty smart. Please come on down and meet me, I am so ready to fill your life with fun and love.

Story
This affectionate gentleman is part of a bonded pair with Olsa, who is most likely his daughter. They were left behind when the family moved away, and found themselves in our shelter, sad and confused. But they have each other and that seems to make all the difference!Falcon is about nine years old and about 55 pounds. He is a sweet gentle soul who doesn’t wanna cause any trouble and does want to show his love and appreciation. He loves going on walks around the neighborhood but otherwise is just happy to hang out. The two of them are so easy that anybody who wants dogs that make few demands but are good company would be lucky to have these two. They are crate trained and love going on car rides as well and of course they are housebroken. They do great with other dogs and seemed scared when they met a cat!Falcon is extremely shy when he first meets people so you need to give him a chance to warm up to you. But once he does, he will worship you and give you his absolute loyalty. They would be perfect for someone who just wants some dogs to hang around with that don’t require much.
