Story
Picasso is a super sweet 3-year-old pure tricolor Australian Shepard who we rescued 2 years ago. He is trained in all basic commands and loves to chase/herd balls and play tug-o-war. He is very protective of my youngest daughter, which has led to the need to re-home him after biting incidents: a gardener who entered the yard unannounced and got too close to my daughter (animal control ruled dog not at fault), myself, when I raised my voice to circumvent my youngest from breaking a mirror, and her older sister when she acted threatening to her. He went to aggression training at South Bay K-9 to learn additional commands and subdue his aggression, but obviously his innate feelings to protect my youngest daughter persists. For example, he vocalizes when we hug and he tries to block my entrance to her room. If it were me alone, I would keep him, but, as much as it is heart wrenching, he would do best with a single dominant adult.

Story
Darla is a young, white boxer. She is very affectionate with people and children, has never bitten. She has a lot of energy and requires a good amount of space to run. We adopted her from the Long Beach Animal Shelter in September of 2023 when she was 8 months old. She will be two years old some time in January 2025. She loves bones and treats. Darla is crate trained, but prefers to lay on the ground. She was going to dog training, but it became a bit stressful over time due to her energy levels. She will not work in a home with other dogs. As affectionate as she is with people, she has a resource guarding issue and will bully other dogs.

Story
Lilo is a border collie mix, whom will be 1 year old in April. She is house trained, crate trained, and extremely intelligent. She’s spayed, microchipped , and been doing puppy training since September. She is a high energy breed that requires lots of play and stimulation. She loves long walks and lots of cuddles, she is very snuggly and loves affection. She is very shy at first but once she warms up, she will not leave your side. She loves playing with other dogs. She’s only been around 1 cat and did well. Young children make her anxious, so she would do best in a house with no children. Serious inquiries only please!

Story
This is Mr. Rochester. He will be 7 years old this coming June and has been with us since he was a small pup. Chester is incredibly loyal and will follow you around. He loves to cuddle and listens incredibly well. In his spare time, he loves watching squirrels and enjoys catching tennis balls that are either bounced or tossed up into the air. We need to rehome Chester to a family with no young/small children so he can live his best life!
