Story
It breaks my heart to say that I have to rehome my beautiful baby girl, She is smart, sweet, and full of love. She does have some reactive issues (Whining) we are working on for dogs on walk, but she goes to dog day care and boarding with no issue. Going through divorce and having hard time. it’s very difficult situation :( Bring her to shelter is my last option I don’t want to do. I know dog are family and I never wanted to be that person… I want to find her a forever home where she will be loved and well taken care of.

Story
Due to our busy traveling lifestyle, I have had to come to the difficult decision to rehome Shiloh. I adopted her as a puppy in June of 2023 on the dog beach in Avila Beach. She is the kindest, most loving, intuitive dog I have ever owned. She needs someone with a yard or the time to take her on walks. She loves the dog beach,water, dogs, cats and people. She is very easy to train and will respond to tone of voice. She is approximately 23 months old. I am including a large, high quality crate. I haven’t had her spade due to family members wanting a puppy from her but am willing to have her spade if it is a condition for her adoption to the right home. She can either be an inside or outside dog and rarely barks. She communicates mostly with “dog talk”.She is a wonderful dog🥲

Hi! I'm Xavier, a 2-year-old male German Shepherd/Doberman Pinscher mix! Some nice people at Woods just brought me here from LA and, boy, I sure am happy to be safe and to make room in my previous shelter for the owned animals separated from their families due to the fires. This move will help those families be reunited... and maybe it will help me to finally find a family of my very own here in SLO County! Could you be the one I've been dreaming of?
