Story
Hey guys, my name is Chomper, I have a unique name because I have a unique mouth. As you can see, I need a little bit of special love and attention when I first got rescued. But I got everything that I needed and now I am moving onto bigger and better things! The biggest news I have is I joined the training program and I am learning to be an awesome dog. I get to show off my skills all the time, and I learn faster than my trainer can teach me, in fact, I learned so fast that it takes three trainers to work with me because they can’t keep up with how smart I am. I really do want to find a forever family and I’m hoping that maybe my unique personality and unique look about me will capture somebody’s attention. Hopefully sooner than later, because Man the older I get the more and more that couch looks really comfy just to snooze on. so keep me in the back of your mind and maybe one day you’ll help me find my family or maybe my family will be you.

Story
Juliet is a beautiful, soft-spirited girl who’s still finding her confidence after being rescued as a stray. A bit nervous at first (who wouldn’t be after such a journey?), Juliet warms up gently and shows you her true nature: sweet, loyal, intelligent, and deeply loving. Like many Red Heelers, Juliet is sharp as a tack, observant, and eager to bond closely with her people. She has that classic heeler devotion — the kind that makes her want to stay by your side once she knows she’s safe. With a patient family and a calm environment, she’ll blossom into the incredible companion she’s meant to be. Juliet is ready for a fresh start, a soft place to land, and someone to show her the world isn’t so scary. If you’re looking for a gentle, beautiful heeler to love and help grow in confidence, Juliet just may be your girl. Apply to meet her today! 🧡
