Name: She-pea (a.k.a., Miss Daisy II)
Mix/Breed: Collie/Australian Shepherd mix
Sex/Age/Weight: Female, 15 years, 35 lbs.
Health: Spayed. Up to date on shots. Microchipped. Deaf and partially blind but manages extremely well. For additional health information, contact the agency listed below.
History/Personality: Shepea (formerly called "Miss Daisy") was found on a hot July day wandering the streets of Hollister, CA. She was confused, hungry and dehydrated, trying in vain to lick water from a closed plastic bottle lying on the sidewalk. She was filthy, covered in ticks, fleas, and feces, and quite disoriented due to her deafness and partial blindness. Her family refused to claim her. All Creatures Great and Small Rescue (ACGSR) saved her from impoundment by the Hollister Animal Shelter where she would most certainly have been euthanized. Shepea's recent blood work was normal and her heartworm test, negative. She's had a dental cleaning and removal of a couple of bad teeth and a professional grooming. Shepea is completely housebroken and gets along well with other dogs. Although she is deaf, partially blind and has some arthritis in her hind legs, she loves to go for short walks, or will be just as happy to lie quietly by your side as you garden or watch television. Though Shepea has some separation issues, her temporary foster mom is working with her daily to ease her anxiety, and she is responding well to crate training. Shepea loves people and is very affectionate. Check out Shepea's Dogster page for more photos and information.

Sherman is a lovable senior Shepherd/Lab mix who came from Monterey County Animal Services. He's about 8-9 years old and is an easygoing, confident guy who is a perfect gentleman with cats and other dogs. With maturity comes impeccable house manners--Sherman is completely house trained and would never chew anything he wasn't supposed to. Sherman has a lot of love to share and, if allowed, he will climb into your lap--all 80 pounds of him--for some love and cuddle time. Sherman takes a daily dose of Rimadyl for age-related aches and pains, and will need an adopter willing to take on the responsibilities that come with adopting a senior animal. If you would like to help make sure Sherman's golden years are the best he's ever had, please contact Animal Friends Rescue Project, Pacific Grove, CA, and fill out an online adoption application. |

Yogi is a 10-year-old, 40-pound terrier mix who came to us from the Hollister Shelter. He's a mellow gentleman who would be a great match for someone looking for a quiet, low-energy dog. Yogi has wise eyes under that shaggy coat, and could probably tell lots of stories if he could. He is house trained and is in good health for a dog his age. His front legs are a bit bowed and as a result he walks with a bit of a swagger, and doesn't move very fast. He likes leisurely walks around the neighborhood, and enjoys basking in a sunny spot in the back yard. Yogi seems to be fine with cats, children and other dogs that don't pester him. He's looking for an adopter that can take responsibility for the needs of a senior dog. Contact Animal Friends Rescue Project, Pacific Grove, and, if you are interested in adopting this wonderful senior, please fill out an online adoption application.
