My story

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

Meet Wink — a clever, playful, and affectionate Aussie mix who’s growing fast and learning every day! 🐶✨
Wink is altered, housetrained (almost — just a few accidents here and there!), and great with other dogs. He’s adventurous, athletic, curious, goofy, and full of love and snuggles for his people.
He’s mastered the dog door, loves treats (and will sit for them!), enjoys playtime and naps, and has formed a special bond with a young deaf Aussie — they play non-stop! Wink thrives in a home where he can be part of the family’s daily life rather than confined to a kennel, which causes him severe anxiety. While he eats safely around other dogs in supervised spaces, he will NOT sleep or eat in a kennel — but he settles beautifully in bed with his people and dog siblings.
Wink is working on “not jumping” when excited and is learning to navigate life with some vision in his right eye and limited hearing. Despite these setbacks, he’s sweet, intelligent, and reminds everyone around him that life is full of joy — sometimes you just have to adapt and keep going.
This fun-loving boy would thrive with an Aussie-savvy family who understands his energy, intelligence, and need for patient guidance. Wink is ready to be your loyal companion, adventure buddy, and heart-stealer. 💛

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.
