3 year old 69 pound Paco is looking for an adopter or foster ASAP to get out of boarding

Paco is the kind of dog who turns ordinary days into something a lot more fun. This happy, goofy guy is full of personality and always ready to make you smile. He’s incredibly people-friendly and loves being around his humans—whether that means playing, going for a walk, or just curling up for some quality cuddle time.

Paco is an active pup who enjoys getting out and exploring, so he’d love a home that can keep up with his energy. Walks are one of his favorite things, and he’s always up for a game with his toys (the more, the better!). He’s also eager to please and already knows some basic commands—especially when treats are involved, since he’s very food motivated.

The good news? Paco is both house trained and crate trained, which makes him an easy addition to a home routine. He’s playful, affectionate, and loves being part of the action.

Paco can be selective with other dogs, so he is looking for a laid back canine companion or an only dog household. He hasn’t been tested with cats yet. What he *does* know for sure is that he loves his people and thrives on attention, structure, and fun.

If you’re looking for a loyal, lively companion who will keep you laughing and shower you with affection, Paco might just be your perfect match.

Ready to meet your new best friend? Paco can’t wait to meet you.🐾

Courtesy post: Pebbles is a young (about 1.5 years) Australian Cattle Dog mix (about 30% ACD, 20% Poodle, and 10% Australian Shepherd) born on November 15, 2024. This beautiful black and blue/tan merle girl is smart, loyal, and deeply devoted to her people. Pebbles thrives on connection with her family and bonds closely with those she trusts.

She currently lives with three children (elementary through high school age), another dog, and a cat, and does well with older children, cats, and calm, non-reactive dogs. Pebbles absolutely adores her family and shows her affectionate side with the people she knows best.

Like many herding breeds, Pebbles is sensitive and protective, and she struggles with anxiety and reactivity toward unfamiliar people. She has a history of nipping when she feels the need to defend her family. Her current family has taken extensive steps to help her succeed, including working closely with their veterinarian and behavior professionals, placing her on medication, completing a 7-week board-and-train program, and muzzle training. These tools have helped her build better coping skills and allow her to navigate the world more safely.

Pebbles would do best with experienced, patient dog owners familiar with herding breeds who can provide structure, continued management, and a calm environment. A quiet home with a large yard—ideally in an area with fewer passersby, cars, and neighborhood noise—would help her thrive. She does best when interactions with strangers are limited, and a home where visitors can be separated from her space (or where guests are infrequent) would be ideal.

Outside the home, Pebbles tends to relax more and enjoys being active, but her current busy neighborhood with constant noise, traffic, and school buses can be overwhelming for her. Her family believes she would flourish in a quieter setting with fewer triggers and more room to decompress and exercise.

This decision comes from a place of deep love. Pebbles’ family is heartbroken to rehome her, but they want to give her the opportunity to live in an environment where she can feel safe, calm, and successful.

For the right adopter—someone who understands loyal, intelligent, high-drive herding dogs—Pebbles will be a devoted, ride-or-die companion who will love her person with her whole heart.
