Story
Max was born on April 10, 2021. He is an Australian Shepherd with a red/copper coat, blue eyes and a long tail. He is a medium-sized athletic dog. Max forms deep bonds with us and can become jealous if he doesn’t receive enough attention. He is very friendly, loves to cuddle, and still thinks he’s a puppy. We acquired Max June 29, 2021, without breeding rights. He is intelligent, energetic, and extremely loyal. Max loves the outdoors, especially camping, and enjoys joining my husband on trail rides while mountain biking. The time we acquired Max was also when my mom was diagnosed with dementia. Two years ago, I lost my mom and have not been able to return to work since then. Letting Max go is incredibly difficult, but due to my current financial situation and not working. I can no longer afford to care for him the way he deserves. Max is a smart, devoted, high energy companion-perfect for those who enjoy an active lifestyle and want a dog who is affectionate. Adoption fee negotiable!

Story
Saved Nemo from an irresponsible breeder. But he is full of energy and just needs love and a little bit of training. He is small so he is weary of big dogs but if they are gentle he will get used to it.

NOTE:Submit the adoption interest application directly at our HSNB website:https://www.hsnb.org/dog-adoption-applicationWe may not receive anything submitted through PetFinder or Adopt-A-Pet! If you do not receive confirmation from us, email adoptions@hsnb.org . -----Hi, I'm Finley, a happy girl with a sweet, affectionate personality. I'm slightly more petite than your average husky at 51 pounds and yes, I know I'm beautiful, but I won't be a showoff about it.My gentle energy would be right for walks and hikes but I'm not like my wild, wolfie cousins. I recently took a daycation with one of our volunteers an I got an A+ for awesomeness. I was good with people approaching and petting me, and I was extra gentle with children. And though I'm a bit standoffish about other dogs, with slow introductions and guidance, I could be a good friend to another confident gentle dog.If there's a home out there with a loving family or person who will love both my plushie coat and loyal nature, I'm waiting!Check out Finley's profile video here!https://www.hsnb.org/youtube-finley-16680My adoption fee is $250.  Primary Color: White Weight: 50 Age: 4yrs 3mths 1wks
