Story
🐾💙 Meet Finn — Your Thoughtful Trail Buddy 💙🐾 Finn is a 6-year-old purebred Border Collie with soulful eyes and a heart full of quiet devotion. This handsome boy is looking for a peaceful home where he can truly shine. 🏡 Finn is house trained, kennel trained, and walks beautifully on leash. He’s been working hard on calmly passing other dogs on walks and would be the perfect hiking or walking companion for someone who enjoys a little adventure with a loyal shadow. 🧠 True to his breed, Finn is smart, intuitive, and deeply connected to his people. He thrives in a calm, consistent home and prefers to be the only dog. He’s great with cats and older children but isn’t a match for loud, chaotic households or young kids. 🎯 Loud noises like gunshots startle him, so a quieter, rural, or suburban setting would suit him best. Finn isn’t high maintenance—he just wants a person to bond with and a peaceful space to relax in. If you’ve been searching for a steady, affectionate companion who will reward your patience with unwavering loyalty, Finn may be your perfect match. 💙 If interested in adopting one of our available pets, please fill out an application at https://www.cognitoforms.com/DixieGirl1/PetAdoptionApplicationForm2 Most of our are pets are fostered in Southern foster homes and are posted for adoption once they are completely vetted and ready to travel.

Story
Meet Sheesh, a one-year-old pup whose unique personality perplexed her foster mom until she received the breed results — border collie and Labrador retriever!  Sheesh’s hobbies are all lab. She loves playing fetch and brings the ball back consistently.  Sheesh also loves water and will go towards any source of water, whether it’s coming from a sprinkler in the neighborhood or running in a creek. She loves being outside in the rain and isn’t afraid of getting all wet. She’s so calm and easy during baths that her foster mom still bathes her in the kitchen sink even though she’s much too big for it now at 45 lbs full grown.  The border collie in Sheesh is also very apparent in how intelligent and obedient she is. Sheesh follows instructions without the need for a treat. She’ll come when you call her name and go to her crate when told to. She’s very smart and learns new skills quickly. She also has some herding tendencies and can get very focused on things like a squirrel in the yard. She’s of course energetic, but does take plenty of naps throughout the day.  Sheesh will do best in an active home with owners who want to take her on long morning walks. Sheesh loves her walks, but she can get a little too excited by other excitable dogs she encounters. She will need someone willing to work with her on this, possibly with a trainer’s help. Sheesh is very redirectable and responsive if the person walking her knows what to do.  Sheesh has been in her foster home since July 2024 and is fully potty trained, crate trained and has zero separation anxiety. She’s super friendly, happy and loving, and is friends with all the dogs in her foster home. There’s not a mean bone in her body. She even shows remarkable patience with small puppies, letting them climb all over her and chew on her beautiful, fluffy tail. Although she’s not perfect, Sheesh is a special young dog who will bring great joy to her forever family.”

Their names are Katniss, Peeta, Finnick, Effie, and Primrose and they're all sweet, playful and a bit silly. Their pregnant Mama, a tripod, was found on the street. The lady who found them kept the Mama and gave us the pups! Great trade, don't you think?

Transport Fee: $160.00-- We consider the transport to be of great importance and, as such, take particular care of the dogs during the trip. We make every effort to arrive with healthy and minimally stressed dogs. **It is rare that we know with certainty the ages or mixes that make up our dogs, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible based upon our experience. **January 8, 2026, 3:34 pm

Raleigh

Australian Shepherd Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 12 yrs 10 mos
Helena, AL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Raleigh is a 12-year-old Australian Shepherd mix with a gorgeous coat and those signature feathery Aussie good looks. Weighing about 45 pounds, he’s the perfect blend of charm, loyalty, and happy-go-lucky energy. He’s up to date on vaccines and heartworm prevention and is in great shape for a senior guy. Raleigh isn’t a fan of cats (they don’t fit into his herding plans), but he does well with other dogs when properly introduced. He’s lived peacefully with dogs of all sizes before and enjoys spending time in our exercise yard. With the right owner and a little structure, he’ll do just fine with canine friends. Like most Aussies, Raleigh thrives when his mind and body are engaged. He’d love an adopter who appreciates a daily walk, some brain games, and lots of affection. In return, he’ll give you unwavering loyalty and a tail that never stops wagging. Raleigh is a joyful, easygoing companion who still has plenty of love — and life — left to share. Adoption fee is $200 and includes neuter, vaccines, parasite prevention, and microchip. Apply at www.fullcirclerescueandsanctuary.com. Transport to Hagerstown, Maryland or Newtown, Pennsylvania available for $165 transport fee plus cost of health certificate.

Buster

Australian Cattle Dog

Male, 7 yrs 4 mos
Helena, AL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Buster is a gorgeous red heeler who survived the kind of past no dog deserves. When we first laid eyes on him, he was barely visible—hidden behind weeds, vines, and the remnants of an outdoor kennel he’d been stuck in far too long. But that chapter closed the moment he came to Full Circle Rescue and Sanctuary. Since then, Buster has gotten the medical care he desperately needed, including full heartworm treatment, and he’s officially healthy, cleared, and living his best soft-boy life. This guy is low-key, low-energy, and cool as a cucumber in sunglasses. If your idea of a perfect day is a comfy couch, a good show, and a dog snoozing at your feet like a loyal sidekick, Buster is already sold. He’s crate trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and gets along with other dogs who match his calm, go-with-the-flow vibe. Buster isn’t trying to be the life of the party—he’s trying to be someone’s steady, peaceful companion. If you’re looking for a dog who just gets it… this is your man. $300 adoption fee covers neuter, vaccines, parasite prevention and microchip. Apply at FullCircleRescueAndSanctuary.com
