Hulahoop and her sibling Hokey Pokey and their mom Bunny (last picture), were all rescued from a high kill shelter in San Bernardino County. A person dropped them off and said he "found them". Whatever... they are now safe with us. They are 10 months old and flourishing in their designated foster homes. They are super great pups and are enjoying their new lives. Hokey Pokey is 36 pounds at 10 mo old. The perfect size dog! All dogs in our program are up to date on all their shots, spayed or neutered, and micro chipped. Our dogs are in foster homes which enables us to learn more about them in a home environment. We do not place dogs on a first come first serve basis, but rather to the home best suited for them. An application, adoption fee and contract are required. Please direct all questions to adopt@crdogrescue.com. All our dogs can be met with an approved application. Thank you for looking at a rescue dog for your next family member.

Shepherd

🧠 Temperament

Herding-type dogs are typically bright, biddable and attentive to their person, with a tendency to be watchful and sometimes reactive to fast movement.

🎾 Exercise

High — 60+ minutes plus mental work.

✂️ Grooming

Usually a double coat with regular shedding; brush weekly or more.

🏙️ In an LA apartment

Trainability helps a lot in the city. Socialize early to bikes, scooters and crowds.
