Breed: Australian Cattle Dog / German Shepherd X DOB: 7-23-2026 Gender: female Altered: no Coat: medium Size: medium Color(s): black/tan/white Description: Hi, I'm Purple, a sweet Australian Cattle Dog / German Shepherd X with a heart full of love and a mind brimming with intelligence! Born to a mom who was rescued while pregnant, I embody hope and new beginnings. My sister Orange and I are the last two precious pups waiting for our happily ever after.

Read more about Purple

Although I'm still working on my house training, with patience and love, I'll have it down pat in no time. With my playful and loving personality, I will absolutely thrive in a home where I can bond with my family and be a part of their everyday lives. I'm good with other dogs and children, but cats are an unknown. I don't like being alone all day, so I'd be best suited for a home where someone is around to keep me company. Since I'm just a puppy, children in the home must be at least 6 years of age. I know I'm cute and everyone will want me, but please be sure you're ready to take on a puppy as it's similar to having a newborn (2-legged kind) in the home. It's a lifetime commitment, not a temporary one where the love and attention wears off after I'm grown. If you're ready and able to give me a lifetime of love and wonderful memories, please fill out an application to meet me.

20. Ramona

Puppy · Female · Husky / Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat) · 46 mi from Oxnard

I was found as a stray by some nice people who helped me find my way to Forte Animal Rescue. I had a microchip, so they were able to contact my previous owner, who clearly never understood what it meant to be my guardian. He told them he didn’t want me anymore because he didn’t have time for a puppy. (Then why did he adopt me in the first place?)

Read more about Ramona

Fortunately, I now have a wonderful foster home where there’s plenty of time for a puppy like me! I share my home with a big, friendly German Shepherd and a cat, and I get along great with both! I’m enjoying life with my foster family, but what I’d really love is a forever home of my very own. Could that be yours? Come meet me at a Forte adoption event!

If you are interested in meeting Ramona, please download the Adoption Questionnaire, fill it out and email it back to us at info@farescue.org or fax (310) 362-0321. You can also meet this and/or other available dogs at our weekend adoptions.

[Ramona is about 4 months old and weighs 23 lbs.]

Adopting a puppy in Oxnard

Puppies usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're weaned and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.

Ask the rescue how big the puppy is expected to grow and which breeds they think are in the mix, so you can plan for the dog they'll become.

Puppies need a lot of your time: house-training, a few minutes of training every day, several small meals, and someone home often enough to let them out. A puppy class is a good way to start.
