In the shelter’s words

Mosby is a Baja mutt, rescued as a stray from Ensenada, Mexico. We believe she is a shepherd/collie mix because of her looks and behavior. She has been fully vetted in San Diego and is a heatlhy dog ready for adoption. We have learned who Mosby is and we can say the following: She is full grown, probably in the 10- to 18-month-old range. She is a nice, mid 40-pound dog who could and up being 50 to 55 pound once she stops growing. Mosby is amazing with men, women, and children. Sometimes there can be a bark or two when she meets people who come into the home or during leash walks, but once you great her and love her, that stops because she adores getting love from humans. She does great with dogs of all sizes/breeds/genders and is always romping around with them in the home. She can be a bit dominant or hesitant during initial introductions, but once she knows the other dog, they become good friends. Mosby does best with dogs 20 pounds and above only because of the rough play that can sometimes ensue. Mosby is crate and house trained, does well in the car, and is not a vocal dog. She loves having something to do and absolutely lives for toys. Mosby needs an adopter who is looking for a dog to bond with over activities, either exploring together outside or playing fetch indoors. She cannot be inside the house all the time or in bored in the yard. That being said, she doesn't need a home with a yard and would do well in an apartment setting, as long you are active and get her outside regularly for exercise. Mosby needs a home with no cats. Although she has not tried anything with the cats in her current foster, she is too focused on them and if not supervised she likely could try something. Same with a home with rabbits, birds, and other small pets, as she likely would exhibit prey drive. Adopting Mosby means you should already be thinking of enrolling in dog training class. We believe all dog owners should start a training class unless you have previously completed dog training with a professional trainer and know how to get your new dog set up for success. We don't hold adoption events, but we can schedule a meet and greet in the 92110 area. Please submit an application online and we can schedule a call to answer any questions/concerns.
