Meet Aussie! 🐾
Aussie is a 4-year-old Corgi/Welsh mix with the cutest little low-rider legs and a personality that will steal your heart. She’s an all-around wonderful girl who truly loves being part of a family.
Aussie is amazing with kids and babies and has a gentle, patient nature that makes her a great companion for a busy household. She does well with other dogs but can be a little growly when setting her boundaries, so she would do best with a dog that understands and respects her space.
She loves to run and play, but she’s also a couch potato at heart and is just as happy relaxing with her people after a good walk. Aussie enjoys getting outside for daily walks and adventures, then settling in for snuggles afterward.
Aussie is crate trained, housebroken, and well-mannered, making her an easy addition to a home. She does well with cats, livestock, and respectful dogs. She is also very food motivated, which makes her a fun and eager learner.
Aussie does have a beef allergy, so she will need to stay on a beef-free diet.
She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped—ready to find a family who will love her as much as she’ll love them.
If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion with adorable short legs and a big heart, Aussie might be your perfect match. 🐶💕

Our adoption process includes personal references, a vet check, landlord approval (if applicable), and a virtual home visit to ensure our dogs are going into safe, loving environments. We do require that resident pets are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, and on monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention—unless a vet provides a documented medical reason. We match dogs based on best fit, not first come/first serve.
If you’re selected for a meet-and-greet, please be ready to adopt within 48 hours—we can’t hold dogs longer than that since foster homes need to stay open for the next dog in need. Fosters are not expected to travel for meet and greets—any travel is completely up to them. We do not adopt out sibling dogs together, and we reserve the right to deny an application at any time for any reason.
Please fill out the application thoroughly—including vet and landlord info—so we can properly process it. We do not accept deposits or hold dogs. The only time we collect payment is at the time of adoption. Once a dog is adopted, we do not offer refunds.
Ready to Adopt? Here are your next steps:
1 - Please Fill out the Application - a representative will be in touch within 48 hours.
2 - Our reference checkers will be in touch with your vet and personal references.
3 - If you are determined to be the best fit, an email will be sent and the foster will receive your contact information. Please set up a meet and greet within 48 hours.
4 - If all goes well - pay the adoption fee via invoice sent to email - congratulations you are a new dog owner!
The adoption fee covers spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccines, deworming, microchip, flea/tick/heartworm prevention, and transport. Puppies under 6 months may still have parasites despite deworming, so we recommend a fecal test after adoption. Dogs over 6 months are tested and negative for Heartworm, Lyme, Anaplasmosis, and Ehrlichiosis.
Adoption Fees:
Dogs up to 7 years old $525
Dogs over 7 years old $400
Some Dogs are part of our Back to the Pack Program - $575
When you adopt through our Back to the Pack program, you’re doing more than giving one dog a home — you’re helping their packmates still waiting to be adopted. The additional $50 adoption fee provides care, comfort, and hope for the dogs still in foster care.
