My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sweet, loving, playful Conner! Conner is an 8-month-old purebred Black Tricolor Aussie puppy with an adorable little docked tail. Conner currently weighs 31 pounds, so he should fill out to a perfectly medium sized Aussie boy when fully grown. Conner never met a person or a dog that he didn’t like, but Conner is a high energy boy who needs an active family. He would be a wonderful candidate for any type of dog sports, since he is very easy to train and totally focused on his people. Activity is not an option for this boy—it’s mandatory. He’s fast as lightning and a little bouncy, and super fun. He’s also a great sidekick and loves to ride in the vehicle, and will jump right in and ride with you. He’s crate trained and runs into his crate when asked, and then runs straight out the door in the morning to go potty and have some outdoor time. Although he loves playing outside with other dogs, he really prefers spending time with his person, and will melt into your hands as you pet him while looking at you with those dreamy eyes of his. This dog has unlimited potential, and we would really love to see him to go an experienced Aussie home with someone who can allow his energy and intelligence to thrive. Conner is fully vaccinated, neutered, tested negative for heartworms, and is current on heartworm and flea prevention. Conner is available for a $300 adoption fee, and If you think this amazing boy is the right fit for you, please download an adoption application from https://www.twistedbranchaussies.com/adoptions-surrenders.html and submit it to the address on the form.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Please keep in mind that we are not a shelter where you can visit dogs and go home with one that day. We are a home and family first, and a rescue secondly, and in order to maintain a family environment for the dogs, we are only able to offer visits after we have an approved adoption application from you. We put a great deal of effort into every dog that we rescue, sometimes driving several hours to rescue them and then spending a huge amount of time caring for them physically, training them, socializing them with other dogs, and teaching them house manners. We bring these dogs into our home, into our family, and in some cases, into our bed to sleep with us. They are our family, and we care deeply about every dog that comes into our rescue. For this reason, we are very particular about where our dogs go. We do not adopt on a first-come, first-serve basis, but instead adopt to the family who is the best match for that particular dog.

Adoption Requirements and Procedure:

*We must have a reviewed, approved Adoption Application from you before scheduling a visit with the dogs.
*You must have a securely fenced yard for your adopted dog. We do not adopt dogs to homes where they would be allowed to roam free on acreage. This is for the safety of the dog.
*Due to health concerns for young puppies, puppies under the age of 4 months can’t be adopted to apartment homes where they would be exposed to other dogs. Puppies underage for spay/neuter are only available for local adoption.
*You must be able to travel here to meet and adopt your new dog. We do not ship dogs, and we want the opportunity to meet you in person before trusting you with one of our babies.
*You must be patient with us! Once we receive your application, we will need time to review it, check references, and conduct a home visit to ensure that you can provide a safe environment for your new dog. The whole process could take as much as two weeks. Please keep this in mind when you apply, as you will not be able to apply and adopt the same day.

More about this rescue

With few exceptions, we do not use foster homes. Most of the dogs in our rescue live here in the home with us as members of our family, and they sleep and eat indoors and have free run of the yard during the day. We feel that this is the best way for us to prepare these dogs for adoption and life with their new families, to teach them house manners and basic obedience training, and to get to fully know them so that we can make a proper placement.
