My story

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

💥 Meet Harley — the Glow-Up Queen
3 years old • Standard Aussie • Fully Vetted • Professional Snuggler • People + Kid Friendly
Harley came to us labeled a “behavior case” at a shelter west of DFW… but here’s the truth no one tells you enough:
✨ Shelter behavior ≠ Home behavior.
Stress, fear, noise, chaos — it can make any dog look like a whole different creature. Once Harley landed in a calm foster home, decompressed, and actually exhaled for the first time in who knows how long… the “nippy dog” magically vanished. She has shown zero nipping behaviors in foster. NONE.
Instead?
She turned into a velcro cuddle bug who melts into her foster mom like warm queso.
Harley is:
🟣 Dog-particular — vibes with some, not others
🟣 Aussie-smart and needs structure, routine, and someone to guide her big feelings
🟣 Totally people- and kid-friendly
🟣 Currently ignoring cats like they don’t pay taxes
🟣 Best with a confident, well-behaved dog buddy who can model good choices
🟣 An energetic girlie who needs exercise, enrichment, and consistency to thrive
She’s the perfect match for a home that understands the Aussie brain: brilliant, emotional, spicy, loving, and so worth it.
If you want a snuggly, loyal, ride-or-die companion who just needed a second chance to show who she really is — Harley’s your girl.

Additional adoption info

All applications for adoption are considered based on the wants of the adopter and the needs of each individual animal.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

After being approved by a team member, you'll be able to schedule a meet and greet with the pup that best matches your needs.

All of our pets are in private foster homes and many times the meeting will happen in a safe public location.

All animals are available to begin their home trials once the meeting has concluded and the rescue agrees to allow the pet to move forward to this stage.
