Story
Lodi is a four-year-old blue merle coat Aussiedor (Australian Shepard and Labrador) that we bought from a breeder in 2021. He is an incredibly intelligent dog and loving animal to his human family. Lodi is a nervous dog, who requires a slow and limited engagement with new people. He has received behavioral training (heel, sit, stay, etc.) and is very obedient when no stimuli around to distract him. He loves open spaces where he can play endless games of fetch. Please note that Lodi has bitten our other family dog and therefore we need to rehome him as we do not believe he can live with any other animals. He has also shown aggression toward other dogs in general and people who are strangers (note he has never bitten a person but may be capable). The ideal owner is someone who has a large open space for him to exercise and play with. He is incredibility loyal and affectionate to people he is familiar with, but his owner must be able to control his impulses around strangers

Story
Adoption Fee negotiation-able. Aspen is a very sweet girl. She will get very attached and follow you everywhere. She does have slight attachment issues so if left for long she will whin however will be so excited when you come home. Can be high energy or lay down with a chew toy. She doesn’t like to fetch that much but will chew on her Kong for days. Loves to snuggle but mostly on her terms. And she gives a mean side eye when annoyed. She tends to to express her emotions within her face pretty much all the time. She is a little skittish and afraid of almost everything especially the vacuum. She’s a little slow to warm up to people at first but once she likes you she loves you. She’s good with kids 5 and up, we’re unaware how she is with newborns or anyone younger.

Story
Australian Shepherd mix – Red Merle & White Male 11 weeks 12 pounds At Rancho Coastal, puppies become available for adoption starting at 8 weeks of age. Many of these puppies have spent time in loving foster homes, with some even being bottle-fed during their earliest days. As they grow into adulthood, puppies require ongoing training, socialization, and enrichment to thrive. Adopting a puppy is a significant commitment, and we encourage potential adopters to carefully consider their schedules, time spent away from home, and the ages and needs of all family members before making this life-changing decision. Most puppies arrive at the shelter as strays, so their histories are often unknown. Enrolling in a puppy class is highly recommended for all puppies in our adoption program to build a strong foundation for good behavior and bonding. To support this, adopters who complete a minimum 4-week introductory training course with a science-based dog trainer are eligible for a $50 rebate on the adoption fee." An adoption survey and instructions can be found on our website. Adoption Hours: Wednesday-Monday; 11 AM to 4 PM (Adoptions until 3:30 pm) Address: 389 Requeza Street, Encinitas, CA 92024

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.
