Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Mara/Winnie originally came to us in February 2023. She was adopted soon after and was in that home for over 3 years. Unfortunately, she was returned to us in May 2026 because her owners downsized and had pet limitations at their new apartment. Her name was Mara when she was originally with us, but her people called her Winnie and she is used to that name. She is now around 5 years old and looks to be possibly a border collie/Australian shepherd mix, but it's hard to say. We will need to get her updated on her basic vaccinations and microchipped. Her fee is $150. Winnie has done really well with other dogs. She's a lovely, well mannered girl who is pretty bewildered to be back in the shelter. She has done well with older kids, too, but may need a home without cats or one that can give her plenty of training to coexist with them. Her former owner did not have cats but told us there had been a couple instances of Winnie chasing cats (but not hurting them) outside. Winnie has had basic training and will require some regular brushing as she does have a pretty long, thick coat. NOTE:  Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved. Applications can be submitted at our website, mchs.rescuegroups.org. We are located at 101 22nd St. SE in Austin, right next to the airport. It's exit 180B off of I-90, right off of 218 South. We do require that potential adopters be at least 21 years old and that any resident dogs be up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing/preventative, and spayed or neutered.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 29, 2026, 10:02 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Tucker came to the shelter on 5/14/2026 as an urgent owner surrender. His owner had a big life change and had no choice but to surrender him. He looks to be a herding breed mix, which could at least include border collie and Australian shepherd. He has a unique brindle coat that is medium length, and he is about 4 years old. He is fully vetted and microchipped and his fee is $150.  Tucker is a little reserved but very nice. He does well with new people, although he might bark a bit at first. He loves attention! Tucker has had some basic training and is pretty well mannered. We do not think he would do well with cats or smaller dogs. He has not been around a lot of dogs similar to his size. He will need some consistent exercise and some good brushing to keep his coat looking good.

Story
Rex is truly one of the sweetest, easiest dogs you’ll ever meet. He’s the kind of pup who just wants to love and be loved. And once you earn his trust, he’ll give you his whole heart. He gets along great with other dogs and would do best in a home with another playful, confident pup. While he doesn’t currently live with cats, we think he’d likely do well with a slow and proper introduction. Rex can be shy when meeting new people and new environments, so he’s looking for a patient home that will let him move at his own pace and understand that trust can take time. But underneath that timid exterior is such a playful, goofy, cuddly boy who’s still very much a puppy at heart. He loves bouncing around the backyard with his squeaky toys, going for hikes, and he especially loves splashing around in water! With some training he has the potential to be a great off-leash adventure buddy. And at the end of the day he’s happy to snuggle up with you on the couch. He’s also incredibly well-mannered - potty trained, great on a leash, sleeps quietly in his crate through the night, and does well free roaming when left home alone during the day. Rex is such a gentle, loving soul. He may need a little extra patience at first, but the love and loyalty you’ll get in return are absolutely worth it. Requirements: Another dog in the home Adoption fee: $450 plus tax Apply to adopt at www.campcompanion.org

Story
Sheila is a small mixed breed girl born in May 2025. She was found near Twin Lakes and brought to us. Sheila is so friendly and sweet, we can't imagine why someone leave her behind. Sheila is all vetted up and ready to find a new home and be done with the shelter! She would probably be fine with other dogs with a proper introduction and we don't know how she feels about cats. She would love a family with older kids that would love her and play with her. All pets adopted from the Humane Society of Freeborn County will be spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, testing and will be microchipped. All of this is included in their adoption fee. Fill out an application to adopt at freeborncountyhs.org When transitioning your new pet home please allow for at least 4-6 weeks for your pet to adjust to their new home. They will need this time to decompress, and adjust to a new routine and environment. During that time we will provide check ins and counseling to ensure a successful transition. Please review all basic adoption requirements listed on our website before applying. We take finding the right homes for the animals in our care very seriously. They deserve nothing but the best! Please allow 2-7 days for applications to be processed. If an animal is listed in foster care, these pets are not at our facility, but are in foster care homes. They are still available for adoption, and meet and greets are done with pre-approved applicants only. If you have any questions feel free to send us an email at freeborncohumanesociety@gmail.com, send us a message on Facebook, or call or text 507-377-8501.
