You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact stephodellbc@hotmail.com for more information about this pet.  Ash — A Smart Boy with a Friendly Heart! Ash is a sweet young boy, just under a year old, who loves everyone he meets! He’s great with other dogs and rides comfortably in a crate in the car. Smart and highly motivated by treats, he’s ready to learn and should be lots of fun to train. Ash was found as a stray in Southern Indiana alongside Salem and Binx. The shelter believes they may be littermates who were abandoned by their previous owner. His breed mix is a mystery—perhaps Cattle Dog, Border Collie, or Australian Shepherd—but that’s just our guess!  He’s brand new to rescue, and his foster family is still getting to know him. Stay tuned for more about this handsome boy!  Fostered in Plymouth, IN.  Please contact  stephodellbc@hotmail.com if you have any questions about Ash.  You can complete an application to adopt Ash or any of the dogs on our website at  www.comebyebcrescue.org  .    ***  The potential adopter will get a refund on the Application Fee if it’s determined by the Foster Parent that it’s not a good match for the dog and the dog for them, if we do not process their application.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 7, 2026, 1:24 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.The Center for Animal Rescue and Enrichment (CARE) of St Louis MO is seeking a forever home for Nancy Drew, a young BC mix who has been in their shelter since last September when she was picked up stray in the St Louis area. Nancy is a sweet young dog who is in need of a home where dog behavior is understood and she can receive the training she needs.  Her puppy behaviors of jumping and barking can be managed and the sooner she is adopted and out of the shelter, the sooner that positive training can begin, which will allow Nancy to be the friendly youngster that the shelter workers know. Because of her shelter environment, some things are not known about Nancy:  how she rides in a car, how she behaves around children, etc.  However, her overall personality is that of a dog who wants to learn things and be with people.   If you want to know more about Nancy Drew or make an appointment to meet her, please contact CARE St Louis at adopt@icarestl.orgVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 7, 2026, 1:24 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact stephodellbc@hotmail.com for more information about this pet.  Maeve Fostered in Plymouth, IN ~2 Years Old | Smooth Coat BC × ACD Mix Maeve is a striking black-and-white girl you can’t help but notice. Maeve is a soft, thoughtful dog. She can be cautious with new faces at first, but she warms up with a little time and space. Once she feels safe, she’s affectionate, loyal, and loves being close to her person. A 45-minute car ride would most likely be enough time for Maeve to become comfortable with someone. She may always be a bit suspicious of unfamiliar people, but she settles in quickly and does very well once she knows you. She’s crate trained and housetrained, rides nicely in the car, and does well with other dogs (especially calmer companions). She’s an easy dog to live with once she understands her environment. She’s also great for handling — fine with baths, nail trims, and being touched all over once she’s comfortable. Maeve has a strong instinct to chase squirrels and may rush toward unfamiliar people, so a secure, fenced yard will be important to keep her safe and help prevent unwanted situations. Maeve at a glance: • Beautiful black & white coat — total eye candy • Crate trained & housetrained • Cautious with new people, but warms up reliably • Affectionate and loyal once she knows you • Good with other dogs (prefers calmer companions) • Rides well in the car • Needs a home with a secure, physical fenced yard • Has not been tested with children Maeve will do best in a patient home that lets her settle in at her own pace. Once she does, she’s an easy, devoted companion and a really special dog to have by your side. ​Please contact  stephodellbc@hotmail.com if you have any questions about Maeve.  You can complete an application to adopt Maeve or any of the dogs on our website at  www.comebyebcrescue.org  .    *** The potential adopter  will get a refund on the Application Fee if it’s determined by the Foster Parent that it’s not a good match for the dog and the dog for them, if we do not process their application.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 7, 2026, 1:24 pm

Australian Shepherd

Story
We’re not sure about Veronica’s backstory, but we know that she’s likely been through a lot. It seems as if someone wasn’t always very nice to her because she shuts down in some situations. But she does want to be right with her person, following closely on their heels. We think Veronica is about 6 years old. She is a gorgeous Australian shepherd with a gentle personality. While she is recovering from heartworm treatment, she still has energy and wants to play.  Veronica is deaf and has limited vision. She’s very smart and has learned several touch commands including “good girl” and “come.” She is learning to walk nicely on a leash and is housebroken. She sleeps nicely in her pen overnight. Veronica would do best in a home with a friendly dog to help give her confidence. She does not like being left alone for very long, so she’d love someone who is home most of the day. She’d love an active person because she loves to explore and go on adventures. She’d prefer a physical, fenced yard to keep her safe. This sweet, beautiful Aussie is being fostered in the St. Louis area.  ##2378212##

Story
Audrey’s story began in an overburdened rural shelter when she and her brother Kane arrived at just sixweeksold — orphaned, emaciated, and so cold they were barely hanging on after their mother was found nearby, struck by a car. Out of a litter of seven, Audrey and Kane were the only survivors. From the very start, she proved she was a fighter with a heart full of resilience. Now ninemonthsold, Audrey has blossomed into a confident, joyful girl who loves life with every ounce of her being. She’s an Australianshepherd and husky mix — smart, playful, and affectionate, with a spirit that shines wherever she goes. Audrey loves other dogs, especially big dogs and thrives in their company. She’s happiest when she’s playing, running, or splashing in the water, and she never turns down a good adventure. Audrey is brave, curious, and full of personality. She’s the kind of dog who wins hearts everywhere she goes and loves being close to her people. She and Kane will not be adopted together, and Audrey is ready for a home of her own — one where she can continue to grow into the amazing dog she’s meant to be. Audrey is being fostered in the St.Louisarea. To apply: https://www.speakrescue.com/pre-adoption-form ##2689461##

Story
Katara is the perfect puppy package. She’s young enough that she still has fun energy and is eager to learn. But she’s old enough that she’s potty trained and is great in her crate. This 9-month old Australian shepherd loves to play with toys and be active. She is absolutely thrilled with chasing tennis balls, even though she isn’t always sure she wants to bring them back! She has impressive speed and would likely excel at agility. Katara is also quite the cuddle bug and loves snuggling with her person. She’s fantastic with other dogs and really would like a friendly dog buddy.  Katara is deaf and is quickly learning hand signals. She already knows sit, come, and shake, and is eager to keep learning more. Katara doesn’t want to sit home all day by herself. She’d prefer a family where someone is home a lot. She requires a physical, fenced yard and she would really thrive with someone who has herding dog experience and understands smart, active breeds.   ##2829589##
