This pup needs a new home

My 2.5 yr old dog Xochi, who I got about a year ago from the SFSPCA, needs a new home. I’m moving abroad and won’t be able to take her with me.

She is an incredibly sweet, loyal, cuddly, protective dog. Loves to play fetch, cuddle, is very bonded to her people so will be by your side as much as you let her. Something important to know though is she CANNOT be around other dogs. I don’t think she was socialized well (covid dog), and she is just totally unpredictable around other animals. She doesnt seem to be trying to hurt the other dogs, she hasnt bitten hard, but she will attack basically any dog she sees.

I’ve been trying to train her, and that is actually going pretty well, so its possible continuing regular training could cure her, but Im not able to do it anymore. She is very high energy (shes sleeping in most of the pictures here, but she is running most of the time she’s outside), loves to play fetch, run in the woods, very playful, and needs a lot of exercise. She would be the perfect dog if you have land she can run, or a huge backyard and a big family. She really can’t be cooped up in a small apartment all day, and if you’re in a place with other dogs around, she is not a good fit.

She is housetrained, knows sit and stay very well, generally stays right by my side, even outside, unless there’s another animal nearby.

Something else I need to say is she did a soft bite once on a persons arm. Really just put her mouth on her arm and didnt break the skin. It was someone she didn’t know well who had come into the house without me being there, so Im sure she was freaked and nervous. It’s only happened once, but its important that you know that it happened.

Overall she is really an amazing little dog. I’ve loved having her, and want her to go to a good home. If she sounds like a good fit send me a note with some info about you, where you live (environment you live in), and why you’re looking to get a dog at iso@foragesf.com. Bonus if you’re down to send me video updates of how she’s doing and I can come visit her a few times to make sure she’s doing well…In lieu of a re-homing fee I’ll ask for a small donation to the SFSPCA, as I’ve heard giving away animals on craigslist can be dangerous.

Thanks for reading and excited to help her find her next home.
