Story

Winnie is a 1.5 year old spunky lab. She was rescued after being found on the streets when she was 9 months old. Winnie loves playing fetch, finding good sticks, and swimming in the ocean. She knows all of her basic commands including sit, stay, leave it, down, come, and shake. She is potty trained and crate trained. Winnie has reactivity to strangers (barking and growling). Once she realizes there is no threat, she calms down. She has never bitten anyone. However, we live in a high-density area, so she is constantly under stress and this is the main reason we are looking to rehome her. She gets along great with other dogs and is very popular at a couple of nearby doggy daycares.

Story

Mara is half Akita half husky. We got her from a rescue in Riverside, CA when she was about 2 years old. We don't know for sure, but we believe her birthday is sometime in March. She's about 4 1/2 years old now. She is a very loving and cuddly dog who loves being around people, great with kids and loves to snuggle close to her people. She's a very calm and mild energy dog and loves to go for walks in the morning and evening and loves to stick her head out the window on car rides. She does have a very strong prey drive and can not be around other animals and is kept on leash at all times while out in public. Despite her prey drive, she's an absolutely wonderful dog and is very soft, fluffy, gentle and loyal. Her new home has to have no other pets. Preferrably, she has some room to run around and play. Becuase of her prey drive, an experienced dog owner is recommended.

Story

Hi All, We are looking for a loving new home for our sweet dog Luna. Due to unforeseen circumstances, our family has been displaced, and we can no longer care for her. Luna is a very sweet, calm, and well-behaved dog who brings so much joy to our lives! She gets along well with people and most dogs, although she’s not always comfortable with small dogs. Never have heard a bark and is the most gentle dog with kids! We’re heartbroken to part with her and hope to find her a forever home with people who will love her as much as we do.

Snowy

Great Pyrenees

Female, Puppy

Santa Barbara, CA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Snowy was brought to Montecito from L.A.; no chip or I.D. (no Lost And Found results). Then the bringers couldn't keep her. We took her at an adoption event's area at Petco Santa Barbara Aug. 25. She was very gentle, mellow, and kids were playing all over her. We took her to foster her but have procrastinated. Born about Jan. 1, say the vets. Spayed Sept. 17, shots Sept.17 & 27. Loves cuddles, kisses, long runs and walks, the beach but doesn't go into the water, chew toys, shoes... Santa Barbara's "Follow the Leader" Company did some crating and commands work with her and said she is very willing, smart, sweet and eager to obey and learn. She crates for quite a while and we're working on upping that time; comes fairly well; sits; is not a barker; loves her big yard, would really love a canine companion or family with kids. BUT: We are 80 and she is about sixty pounds and... puppy. It's not wise for us to do anything but find her a Forever Home. She's spectacular.

Louise (Lou)

American Staffordshire Terrier Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Female, Adult

Santa Barbara, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Louise! She's a 55-pound lap dog who'll turn eight (or so) on January 1st. She's freakin' beautiful and hilariously expressive. She is curious and sometimes iffy toward other dogs while on a leash. Off-leash, like at dog parks, she keeps to herself, finding a toy or two and plopping down to tear it to shreds. One-on-one, she's made a best friend of a male husky. She's a middle-aged dog who would benefit from learning some new tricks. She has environmental allergies. Special soaps have helped, but I understand the allergy as similar to human dandruff: you can manage it, but once you have it, you have it. That said, a cone is sometimes necessary if she gets extra itchy. The rash is usually on her belly. I can't post her full story with the limited text space given. Please read her full story in this Reddit post I made. https://www.reddit.com/r/SantaBarbara/comments/1ggtypd/urgent_rehoming_needed_for_eightyearold_female/
