My story

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

We are looking for a BETTER place for our 2 year old Miniature Aussie- Saint. His behavior can be “ sporadic” with people, children and other dogs.He is very smart and loves to play fetch with his favorite blue ball! Especially at grandmas house where he has a big fenced in back yard to run around lots( grandma has three little doggies which he seems to do fine with most of the time, he also has other doggies cousins that are larger breeds and has played fine with them).
We are heartbroken to even have to be considering rehoming him but we feel his sporadic reactivity that sometimes turns into aggression is happening because he is in the wrong environment (city/ apartment living- makes it hard to take on walks because he reacts to people and other doggies randomly , young kids and our long work hours). We got a mini dachshund thinking it would help if he had a playmate but he tends to play rough with his brother at times as well. He does tend to mind better with my husband over myself.
I feel he would flourish with an owner who is familiar with the breed and can train with him. Also in an environment where there are no babies or young children, possibly only dog in the home, and where he has a big fenced in yard to run and play till he gets worn out. He is neutered and crate trained . He is a wonderful and smart dog that we feel can flourish in the right environment â¤ï¸

Go meet their pets

We have monthly adoption events in which we encourage folks to meet our pets around NC. We are spread between the Triad, the Triangle and the Coast primarily and we try to do events in each area to support our communities adopting our pets.

More about this rescue

It takes a village to rescue animals and we are just a small piece of the village of rescue workers. At STFFAR, we are a team of animal lovers and welfare advocates working together to save the tough cases. Being a NC rescue means that we are working with shelters and homeless pets in the #3 highest rated kill state in the US. This means it is a never ending flow of animals that need rescuing in our state. Some of these animals are wounded, broken, scared and "tough cases". That is where we come in to help save those tough cases, together. But, we couldn't do any of it without our community of adopters, fosters, volunteers, veterinarians, adoption event locations and those who donate to our rescue. So it takes a village, and though we are a small part of that village we are mighty. We are STFFAR.
