Border Collie Sheltie, Shetland Sheepdog

Size

Good with dogs,
Story
Five months old. Twenty-five pounds. Sheltie crossed with border collie. Coat so soft you'll find yourself reaching down to pet him without realizing you're doing it. Meet Dutch. He's on track to grow into a 40 to 45 pound adult. Smart in the way only sheltie and border collie crosses are smart, picking up new commands in a day or two and remembering them. The kind of dog who watches you to figure out what you're going to do next. If you've ever wanted a dog you can actually train, this is the one. Dutch is a Velcro dog. He wants to be near his person. Working from home, watching TV, walking room to room, he's right there. But he's not clingy in a needy way. When it's time to play, he's just as happy out in the yard with another dog, burning off energy and coming back when he's done. He's currently in foster with six foster sisters and one foster brother and gets along with all of them. If you've got another dog at home, he already knows how to share space. Dutch came to us after someone dumped him at the side of the road. That part of his life is over. What he needs now is a person who's done looking and ready to commit. If that sounds like you, let's talk. Adoption fee will include: - neuter - microchip - first round puppy vaccinations

Nova

Australian Shepherd Husky

Female, 6 yrs
Pinson, AL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Six years old. 75 pounds. Australian Shepherd. The kind of dog who has already done her wild puppy years, settled into who she is, and figured out exactly what kind of life she wants next. Meet Nova. Aussies typically live 12 to 15 years. Six isn't her senior chapter, it's her middle one. The most mature, most settled, most knowing-herself version of who she's going to be for the next eight or nine years. The exhausting young Aussie energy has faded into something steadier. The intelligence, the loyalty, the deep bond with her person, all of that is still here. Just calmer. Nova has partial vision loss. Our vet is still evaluating the degree. Here's what we know. Dogs adapt to vision loss in ways humans rarely do, and Nova will too. What she needs is a stable home with a consistent layout so she can map her world and live in it confidently. Not a hard ask. Just a thoughtful one. She's looking for a calm household. Not a high-energy, big-yard, multi-kid chaos house. A person or two, a steady rhythm, a couch she can claim, a routine she can count on. If you've ever wanted a dog who's past the chewing-everything phase and ready to just be your shadow, this is the one. Nova is currently in foster through July 2026. Photos and full vet records coming soon. She's ready to meet her family. If that family is you, let's talk.

Story
I am physically unable to take care of Dallas. He is in need of a home that has adults and no small children. He is cage trained and will not go in the house as long as he is taken outside. He understands the following words: Cage Outside Stop No Eat He is very laid back and can adapt to the environment of the household (I.e, sleeping late if owner does) He will go to the door when he needs to go outside. He has bitten (but didn’t break the skin) my nephew when he did not want to be bothered. He will be very aggressive when someone comes into the room, but will quiet down once the person has been there for a while.
