Story
Kristi is a Australian Shepherd Mix. Her estimated date of birth is 8/20/2015 and she weighs 40 lbs. She is up to date on all of her shots and she is fixed. Kristi is OK with people that she knows but is not good with new people. She is better suited for a home that has no cats, no kids or other dogs or small animals.  Kristi does like to vocalize and would be best in a house as she needs a lot of space to run around. Kristi is not good alone and does need someone she can trust to be her side most of the time. Kristi requires a very special diet and does not tolerate prepackaged dog food well. She has some minor skin issues that do require weekly medication.  She has a very high energy level and would require exercise on a daily basis for at least 1 hour otherwise she has the tendency to be destructive to items.  Kristi does have some issues on a a leash and has a small problem with marking in homes.We do not have a central location to see our dogs.  Meeting any dog is by appointment ONLY currently. Appointments can be set up to meet any dog in San Diego. Currently we are unable to do any out-of-state adoptions. If you are interested in a particular dog please FILL OUT an Adoption Application at our website @ http://bajadogrescue.org/ready-to-adopt/adopt and we can schedule you for an appointment to meet with a particular dog if it is available.

Read this pup’s bio on our website: https://amazingdogsrescue.org/dogs/. If the dog is not visible on our website, they are no longer available. You can meet your New Best Friend at an Adoption Event near you!

We would love to keep him but we have struggled to get him well adjusted to our family and I fear he might not be the right fit since we have a toddler. He is a loveable dog very smart . He needs a new home with owners who are experienced and can get him the right training.

Story
Bobbie was born in Jamul, ca on October 28, 2020. Bobbie is 100% Australian shepherd, her tail was docked by the previous owner. Bobbie is a very sweet girl who does require a lot of attention and love. Leashed trained, loves to cuddle and knows basic treats with some training she can be even more amazing. She does well around other dogs and cats. She does tend to bark when someone she doesn’t know comes to the door. With a treat she will stop, but I do believe she needs training. Unfortunately, I am now workigk full time hours and I do not have the time to care for her. With me being out longer hours she has had bladder issues and has had more recent accidents inside the home. We also have moved to a townhome that does not have a backyard so This is something she is not used to having the freedom to use the bathroom as she pleases.Has caused issues in my life with everything else going on and I just want bobbie to have the good life she deserves.

Story
Endsley is a fun girl that loves to play and be social. She has a short, soft apricot colored coat and is around 10 months old. We believe she is a mix of Lab, Australian Shepherd and Terrier. She is wiggly, energetic and eager to please. Endsley likes to play with other dogs and to go for walks. She is a social girl great with kids and dogs of all sizes and ages. We think she'd thrive in an active environment with other dogs and kids to play with. She is learning her manners and basic commands. She is housetrained in her current foster home and does fine when left home alone with the resident dog. Endsley is looking for a family that understands the time, patience, and energy needed to raise a young pup. If you think you are ready to add to your family by adopting Endsley, then fill out an adoption questionnaire on our website today! We recommend completing the questionnaire and connecting with an adoption coach before looking for a dog or puppy you'd like to adopt. If you're already approved to adopt or if you've adopted from Labs and More before, connect with your adoption coach for the next steps. Your interest in adopting a rescued dog or puppy from Labs and More Rescue is appreciated! Please find our adoption information at www.labsandmore.org. Your adoption donation provides funding for Labs and More, a nonprofit organization which is supported solely by Volunteers and funded by donations. Good news is your adoption donation can be considered tax deductible. So much care is provided to your new dog prior to the adoption, including: spay and neuter, microchip, veterinarian visit(s), vaccinations, and other medical care as needed. Many of the dogs we rescue require extensive surgeries and care prior to adoption. Please understand we are unable to predict future behavior or medical needs of your adopted dog. We provide no guarantees regarding behavior, breed, or age of the dogs. Thank you for rescuing. Thank you for joining the Adoption Family with Labs and More Rescue. We are here to help you find a furry companion. You will find our quick and easy adoption application at www.labsandmore.org and click on Adopt. Please email us at I doginfo@labsandmore.org if you need assistance. Thank you for looking to a rescue group to fulfill your dream of adding a new dog to your life!

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!
