Tennessee is a neutered black bi male Aussie that is about 2 years old.  He was found hanging around a ranch and was fine with their dogs but too frightened to approach people. He is doing pretty good so far, but is going to continue to need more work/socialization  to keep building up his confidence in humans.  Playful and active, good with the other dogs, walking well on a leash, now crate trained, really wants to get to know you, just going to take time and work for him to be comfortable with people.  He has gone through a basic obedience class and did great    :}

Hank is a delightful 8 month old pup that was a stray running amuck and no one claimed him.  He looks like he might be a Pit and Lab mix, but no idea for sure.  When he was neutered in July, he was 41 pounds, so going to be a big boy.  He is crate trained, extremely lovable, soft natured and has been great with the other dogs - even the cranky ones like to play with him  :}  He seems to love everyone he's met so far, adults and kids alike - just a big goofy lug  :}

YIKES! is a 5 month old female Border Collie. She was surrendered to the Animal Shelter by her owner, who requested euthanasia due to ear infections. The ear infection caused her to shake her head so badly she then got ear flap hematomas. Aussie Rescue SoCal got her the necessary surgery and she is now a very healthy young dog. The surgery did cause thick scarring on the inside of her earflaps, with no future issues, we think it just caused her ears to not grow as large as they could have and be a little "flatter" to her head than usual.
Yikes! is a *highly* active dog who will require *lots* of exercise - daily! She is bright and quick to learn, needing an owner who will be consistent otherwise she will get into trouble. She walks well on lead, sits, downs and does a few tricks. Going for car rides is a favorite! She is crate trained and good in the house (with supervision). Yikes! is very outgoing with people she knows, but needs more socialization as she can be a little shy and reserved with strangers, not a good dog for small children. She loves other dogs, but is a somewhat dominant personality and might be best with a male canine companion.
Up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative.  For more info, contact: Kyle - 661-270-0702

JUBAL is a neutered blue merle male Aussie that is about 4 years old.  He was running loose for about 6 weeks before Animal Control could catch him, a very frightened boy.  He is very very sweet, gentle, and frightens easily of quick movement, but really wants to be friends - just not real sure on what is expected of him and what you are going to do.  He is getting along great with the other dogs, seems to ignore the cats, is crate trained, and reallllly likes being in the house.  He *woo-woos* when he wants to come back inside  :}  He walks well on the leash, likes to hop in and go in the truck, just not so sure about the getting out in a strange place  ;}










CHAMP is a 2 year old neutered male, possibly an Aussie x Retriever mix, that was turned into the shelter because his owners lost their home.  He is a very sweet boy, has been great with the other dogs, not so good with cats though, rides well in a vehicle, is crate trained & housebroken.  The owners filled out a form saying that he likes to be groomed, is fine left alone in the house, even slept in bed occasionally with them, and is good with children, a friendly boy in general  :}}

CHLOE is a very lovable black tri Aussie/Lab mix puppy (DOB July. 2008) with a full tail and loads of personality.  While she initially tends to be a bit reserved, once she gets to know you, you're her friend forever.  Chloe generally enjoys being around people and is good with kids of all ages, however, she's a bit energetic so she might be too overwhelming for kids under 10.  With other dogs, she's on the submissive side, but likes to play.  Currently, her foster family is teaching her basic obedience and she is crate trained.  
Though Chloe is a smart little girl, and eager to please, she is still working out some house training issues.  Favorite past times, other than belly rubs and wading in her water dish, include retrieving a tennis ball, playing with her stuffed squeaky toys and riding in the car - she'll hop right in and take a seat, ready to go anywhere.  Her foster mom thinks she has springs built into her legs and would be a great frisbee or agility dog.  Chloe gets along well with other dogs, including her two Aussie foster brothers and various sized male and female dogs in her neighborhood.  To date, she hasn't been around cats, so that's an unknown.  Chloe is fostered in the Carlsbad area by a family with kids over age 10.
