Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Very smart, friendly and outgoing Australian Kelpie pup!Meet Rosco! Rosco was a stray dog found when he was just a tiny pup when he had fallen into a neighbor's swimming pool. Fortunately, Rosco knew how to swim and was keeping himself afloat until rescue came! Neighbors scooped him up and he was no worse off for his adventure. His foster family took him in and he has been busy having adventures ever since. Rosco is a very friendly and confident little guy who loves to play with his foster mates, both male and female puppies, as well as older adult dogs. He is not at all shy and has lots of energy and he's pretty fearless. He has beautiful eyes and also loves to be picked up and snuggled. Rosco is VERY smart and we think he will benefit from having an adopter who can channel his energy and intelligence with obedience training to make him the best dog buddy he can be.  To meet Rosco in person, visit this link to submit an application: https://woofsandwagsdogrescue.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=3225Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 6, 2024, 5:43 pm

Maddie is the EINSTEIN of Kelpies! She is the rarest of the rare- an ALL BLACK Kelpie GIRL. This working breed is highly human-bonded: a loyal and especially LOVING FAMILY DOG.

This is a ONCE IN A LIFETIME opportunity for the RIGHT FAMILY with Land, Knowledge, and an owner who understands these kinds of breeds. THE IDEAL home will offer a large fenced property, a family experienced with the tempraments and intelligence of Kelpies, Aussies, Border Collies, etc. Miss MADDIE will offer YOU... an AMAZING INTELLIGENCE (beyond ANY other dog you have EVER had~) a SEA of LOVE and ABSOLUTE LOYALTY, a deep companionship and the ability to alert to protect your property if that is ever necessary. If YOU can offer Miss Maddie the perfect FURever home, respond ASAP with a PHONE NUMBER that you will answer when our Volunteer Coordinator calls you, and suggest a SPECIFIC TIME WINDOW that is best for you. Miss Maddie is ONLY available to homes in San Diego County. Lets chat- she is one of our FAVORITES! We have LOTS of great information about this BEAUTY!

Story
Classic Kelpie girl, NICE NIKITA is a 2yo Sweetie. It is an absolute pleasure to work with this adorable girl! Nikki demonstrates the Superior Intelligence of working breeds in everything she does. From her loving nature to her quick learning, this family doggy is a STAR! The IDEAL HOME will have two (or even LOTS more!) children, a VERY LARGE FENCED YARD, as well as someone home most of the time. Kelpies crave time to give their love and companionship. This is NOT an apartment dog. If you're looking for a FABULOUS girl to entertain your family, join you on daily RUNNING (or even walking) go hiking/beach/baseball games, THIS IS YOUR GIRL! We hardly have to mention that Nikki is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING- everywhere she goes she turns heads! Her grace, poise and charm turn heads. She is alert and aware of everthing in her environment. Also on her Doggy Resume is RODENT CONTROL! If you have a gopher or rodent issue of any kind, this FAST and bright girl will save you thousands of dollars in Pest Control. Nikki is an alpha girl, so any companion doggy should be mellow. She has not been tested with felines, but generally Kelpies are known to do well with family HOUSE cats (we can't guarantee outdoor cats though!) Australian Kelpies are in the same category as Aussies, Border Collies, etc. They are ALL VERY VERY VERY VERY Smart. That means they are NOT ideal for first time dog owners who have had no experience with these kinds of breeds. Nikki has basic training and the ideal adoption candidate to be her new family will be prepared to CONTINUE her training the minute she graces your front door. LET THIS SUMMER be remembered as the year YOUR FAMILY ADOPTED THE BEST, ONCE IN A LIFETIME DOG ever! To get an immediate interview to be on the list, respond with a PHONE NUMBER and SCHEDULE a SPECIFIC TIME WINDOW when our Volunteer Adoption Counselor will call you. (Our volunteers all take time from their own famililes/work/lives to help! No one wants to play endless telephone tag when phones are unanswered ) For the family who has been looking for the perfect FAMILY dog, CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY! This is the ONLY Australian Kelpie we have EVER had in our Rescue. She is highly valuable and impressive- we are committed to getting her into the IDEAL home so Nikkie can begin LOVING a new family and enjoying SUMMER IN SAN DIEGO!

Story
How this pet arrived: This pet was brought in by a community member. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Precious, a certified good girl who definitely lives up to her name! Wondering why this pawsitively adorable pooch is donning goggles in her photo? Is it a fashion statement? Is her future so bright, she's gotta wear shades? While the answer could very well be "yes" to both of these statements, the main reason is because Precious came into our care with a serious wound on her leg and she's been receiving laser treatments to help it heal. She has been a wonderful patient and our medical team has fallen head over heels for her, as have her caregivers who describe her as "very sweet, loves attention and ear rubs, and just wants to lay in your lap." If you are interested in adding some more Precious-ness to your life, come on by our San Diego Campus and meet this special gal today! At SDHS:This pet has been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed/neutered. This pet is now ready for their new home! Primary Color: Brown Brindle Weight: 66 Age: 8yrs 8mths 2wks
