Story
Big heart. Wiggly tail. Endless potential. That’s Miley. If sunshine had a personality, it would probably look a lot like Miley. She’s equal parts curious explorer, playful goofball, and professional cuddle bug. Our best guess is Miley will grow into a beautiful 50–70 lb adventure buddy. Mom looked like a Plott Hound mix, dad looked like a Border Collie/Boxer mix, and Miley somehow inherited the best parts of everyone — smart, goofy, athletic, snuggly, and just the right amount of chaos. Originally from Kansas, this sweet girl is settling into home life beautifully. Miley is already showing off her brains and charm. She knows “sit,” confidently tackles stairs, and is improving on leash walks every day. She’s almost potty trained, sleeps well in her crate overnight, and only wakes you up for important business (like late-night potty breaks and being adorable). She loves sunny spots by the window, wrestling with her dog friends, and playing hard before collapsing into dramatic puppy naps. She’s thriving in a multi-dog home and would love a family ready for adventures, laughs, and lots of snuggles. If you’re looking for a smart, silly best friend with a sunny personality and an extremely boopable face, Miley might just be your girl. We got her siblings DNA test too! DNA test: 31% border collie, 10% GSD, 9% american pit bull terrier, 7% Great Pyrenees, 5% golden retriever, 5% treeing walker coonhound, 4% american staffordshire terrier, 4% Australian cattle dog, 3% bluetick coonhound, 3% miniature american shepherd, 3% australian shepherd, 3% asutralian kelpie, 2% great dane, 2% chow chow, 2% catahoula leopard dog, 1% labrador retriever, 1% poodle, 1% boxer, 1% beagle 1% collie, 1%McNab, 1% Berger d'Auvergne ##2717740##

Story
'm Fig, and my foster parents like to call me "Figgy Pudding" because I'm deliciously sweet. I love romping around in the yard with my foster sibling. 100-degree heat doesn't scare me off — as long as there's shade, water, and room to run, I'm happy being outside. When I do come indoors, you'll find me napping on the cool tile. I also love a good tussle with a toy, and sometimes I'll entertain myself (and you) by tossing my toys around in the air! My foster parents are working on training with me, and I'd do best in a home that can be patient with me as I learn. I've had a few accidents in the house, but I'm already making quick progress on potty training outside. Sit? Never heard of her! But I do respond to my name, I'm getting good at coming when called, and I listen well to a firm "no." Give me some pets just underneath the ears and I'll melt into your hands. I'm a good boy, and I can't wait to find my forever home. ##2787699##

Luna is 4 years old. She was a Rescue puppy. Luna is a very sweet yet neurotic border collie. She loves to play fetch and unique sounds get her excited. She is an excellent listener but you have to know her potty routines and she will be great! Maizey is the other dog in the photo and she is also available. If you are looking for two really sweet spayed female dogs, let me know. My life circumstances don’t allow me to give her the time that she deserves. Looking for a loving home that she can get the attention she deserves.

Story
Name: Carmella Breed: Border Collie Sex: Female Age: 2 year old Weight: 45 lbs. Carmella has some behavioral needs, and she's available for adoption or through a foster-to-adopt arrangement. Good with dogs? Carmella will need a slow introduction to other dogs Good with cats? No Good with kids? Not tested but based on her behavior with meeting new people we would recommend she go to a kid free home. Energy level: High. Carmella is a driven Border Collie with a strong need for mental stimulation. She would thrive in a home where she has a job to do—bonus points if her adopter is interested in helping her learn how to herd! With her high energy and working-dog instincts, Carmella would love nothing more than a purpose-filled life where she can stay active and engaged. Animal Characteristics: Carmella is a beautiful, sensitive soul searching for someone special to help her shine. This shy girl hasn’t had the easiest start, and she’s still learning to trust the world around her. When meeting new people, Carmella can be fearful— but with patience, structure, and love, she begins to open up. Her ideal home will be with an experienced, compassionate adopter committed to continuing her training and providing slow, gentle introductions to new people and situations. Carmella isn’t the kind of dog who will greet you with tail wags and kisses on day one — but if you give her time and understanding, you’ll earn the love of a truly loyal companion. Please learn more about the adoption process and fill out an application at www.pawsco.org/adopt/adoption-process. I look forward to meeting you!

Hi there, my name is Lily! I am a gorgeous young lady with a sweet demeanor. I am social, affectionate, and intelligent. I am looking for a home where I will be treated just like a member of the family. I look forward to getting out for exercise and adventure, attending training classes, and spending quality time with my humans. I have spent some time taking agility classes and have become an all star. I can be around medium and large dogs and enjoy play time, but as far as a living situation goes, I prefer to be the only animal in the home. My adoption fee includes my spay, a microchip, vaccines, and a fourteen day limited health guarantee through Redstone Animal Hospital! Come and visit me today!

Story
Peach: The Sweetest Pup You’ll Ever Meet We’re guessing Peach is around 8–10 years old. She was living at a sheepherderders ranch when he suddenly died leaving 19 dogs homeless. Peach was one of the last ones to be rescued. This sweet, squishy senior might have spent her whole life outside but she has adapted beautifully to indoor living. She'll take a sofa and TV over the cold ground any day! Since coming into her temporary foster, Peach has discovered the absolute joy of living indoors… soft beds, cozy blankets, brushing sessions, and someone to cuddle with. She is soaking it all in like she’s been waiting her whole life for this chapter. She’s completely vetted, house trained, and was trustworthy in the home from day one — no kennel needed. She just wants to be near her people. She adores being brushed, melts into you for cuddles, and gives the sweetest little kisses. And yes… she kind of looks like an Oompa Loompa.   She does well with other dogs and politely barks at the cat (we all have our hobbies). On leash she’s still figuring things out — we’re keeping expectations humble and progress steady. Walks really aren't her jam so if you have a soft place for her to lounge she will be perfectly content! What Peach truly wants? A soft place to land. A couch. A human. Some TV time. A hand to hold. After a lifetime outside, she deserves to spend her golden years safe, adored, and spoiled rotten. If you’ve ever thought about giving a senior dog a home… Peach is ready to give you her whole heart. Peach is in a temp forster and we are looking for a foster or foster to adopt for her. If you would like to adopt/foster please apply at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/  The adoption fee of $75 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip.   ##2674223##

Story
Meet Turtle Some dogs spend their early lives being cared for. Turtle spent hers caring for everyone else. This sweet girl has just finished raising a litter of puppies, and now it's finally her turn to be loved. At approximately 2 years old, Turtle is believed to be an Australian Shepherd mix with a gentle soul and a heart full of love. Weighing only 35 pounds, Turtle is a little underweight after devoting so much of herself to her puppies. She's tired, she's ready to leave motherhood behind, and she's looking for nothing more than a soft place to land, good meals, kind hands, and a family who will cherish her. Despite everything she's been through, Turtle remains incredibly sweet and trusting. She greets people with quiet affection and has the kind of gentle spirit that makes you want to wrap her in a warm blanket and promise her that life is only going to get better from here. Now that her puppies are ready for their own adventures, it's Turtle's turn to discover what it feels like to be someone's beloved companion—to sleep peacefully, to be spoiled with treats, to go on leisurely walks, and to know she'll never have to worry about where her next meal is coming from. If you've been searching for a loyal friend who will reward your love with endless gratitude, Turtle is waiting to meet you. Apply to adopt Turtle today at:  https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/  Turtle's adoption fee includes her spay, age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and a microchip. Give this deserving mama the happy ending she's earned. ##2787453##
