Story
Jupiter is looking for his forever home! He needs a special family with at least one other dog, so he can emulate another dog! A fenced in yard would be the best! Jupiters, precious life began as a bait dog. Although that life scared him, he is one sweet guy! He gets along with dogs, cats, kids, and all adults. He is very timid, and it will take a while for him to get used to you. We began fostering Jupiter in October 2021 (he was about seven months old) and in April 2022 an older couple adopted him. The wife fell and hurt her back and the man found out he had later stages of liver disease. They brought him back to us in October 2022. He seems a little better, but he's still struggling with potty training. We let him out about every hour or two and even though he goes outside he still feels the need to use the pee pads at times. We don't crate him because he has not been a fan since his life as a bait dog was spent in a crate. He does have free range in the house, but tends to stay put in his 'safe spot.' When he does come to join the family, he loves to cuddle and be talked to. If you think Jupiter would make a great addition to your family, please fill out the application with ASF and let's get him home! If you think that Jupiter is a graeat fit for your family, please fill out our application: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application All adoption fees are used for future rescue efforts.

Story
Chenk is 5 years old and been with me since he was 8 weeks old. He has never lived outside. He doesn’t bark and great with humans and other dogs. I am having to rehome because I don’t have much time for him anymore since being separated I am now working two jobs. He deserves to be able to go out and play. He have never bitten or attempted to bite anyone. He is really a great family dog.

Story
3yr old M 45lb Athletic endurance for fetch. Catches disc. Knows a few commands. Likely better for a female owner. After 3yrs, he's still ambivalent about me, personally, an adult male. Female sitter says he's a 'cuddlebug'. Would have been a great working dog. Quick learner. Lives inside currently. Adopted from GBHS on Mar15, 2020

Story
we have had Grendel for 6-7 and he is about that old. We lived in an apt for a year and he was house trained then but he has since then been outside in a fenced in yard and heated dog house. We have a 4 yr old and a 1 yr old. He leaves them alone for the most part, I am just not comfortable with them out playing with him, so I put him on the leash when they are outside. He would love to play with them he is just so strong I’m scared he will accidentally hurt them. He get next to no attention from us. So when he does get it he is extra hyper and jumpy. He chews on anything left in the yard and digs. I assume that is because he is bored and could be fixed with attention. We have an older shih tzu that he leaves alone. We have found he will whine when away from our house. He will need someone that can take the time to work with him and let him adjust to a new home. He really needs somewhere where he can run and some one who is not intimidated by him jumping on them until that
