Story
Please HELP, I need to rehome ASAP, Belle has been my baby for 15 years and has been an absolute joy I got her at about 6weeks of age and is now 15 years young, she is incredibly protective and full of spunk and energy on walks to the beach, she also loves a nice lap to call her own, she is very curious but never caused issues inside or out of the home, not a digger nor destructive in anyway, she prefers quiet spaces and calm environments loves her cathouse bed and enjoys long naps in the sun, all shots and licensing are current and an older couple would be ideal, I have NEVER left her over night alone she is house trained, puppy pad trained and uses her doggie door regularly to do her thing! And has eaten the same food for about 13 years consecutively a good water drinker and likes her treats. I only want her to spend her remaining years as the princess that she is, thank you for considering this jewel and for reading my post.

Story
Irish is almost 3 years old very nice and kind lab with energy likes to play and interact with other dogs. I'm moving and I won't have the room for him. He is crate trained and sleeps in his crate at night. He had professional training so he will mind and knows commands. I'm hoping a family will adopt him and he will be part of a family since he's a very nice dog.

Story
Max and Joey are registered pure bred American Shepherds (mini Australian Shepherds). They were bred by Timeless Aussies of Buellton, CA and born on Dec. 5, 2018. They are friendly, intelligent, energetic and filled with enthusiasm for life. They have been wonderful companions and pets. Unfortunately, we are moving to a retirement community and must rehome them. They have been 24/7 outside dogs, accustomed to having over 3 acres of "yard" to patrol, run, and play together. We are looking for a new owner who will take both dogs. They have never been separated.

Golden Retriever

Nipomo, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Ollie is a 2 year old golden retriever. He is house trained and potty trained. He needs someone with experience with high energy levels, preferrably a big yard or open space for him to run. He is sweet and loving, but his high energy is tough to keep up with as he always needs to keep his mind stimulated. He is sometimes reactive towards dogs on walks but most times that’s due to him wanting to play. He is a young pup so constant training is paramount—He is very food motivated.

Details
Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained,
Story
Acquired as a purebred, unknown if true (dont have papers). Shes approximately five years old. Looking for someone with a yard and can give the care and attention they need. She needs regular grooming, craves attention, but relaxed for the most part. Does have some problems around other large dogs, would strive in a solo environment. Prefer someone who knows the breed; this dog was left and unwanted by the original owner and needs care.
