Story
Daisy is a very loving dog. She was found on the side of the road as a puppy. We brought her home in hopes of finding a new home but ended up keeping her for the kids. The kids have all moved away and I am now in a place where I can no longer take care of her. I would love for her to find a family that can spend quality time with her and give her the love and time she needs. If someone is experienced in training dogs she would make a excellent tracking, hunting, or special needs dogs. She is very smart. She is good with kids but she loves attention so can scare some kids that are not used to dogs. She has lived in a home with other dogs and cats and gets along with them all. I just hope to find her a perfect place for her and someone to love her just like I have.

Story
Max is an awesome dog! Extremely smart and always eager to learn. He is 3 years old, housebroken and still full of energy. He needs a fenced yard to play and run. I have discovered that he does not get along with other dogs. He is extremely jealous, therefore he needs to be the only pet. He doesn’t get along with cats at all. No young children. It would be great if someone was home most of the time as he prefers not to be alone. He just wants that one on one with unconditional love. He will be your best friend forever and all I want is what’s best for him. I have only had him a few months but I can’t keep him due to my other older dog and cat. Wished I would’ve known. He is amazing and I tried to work it out. He does have a few behavior issues…afraid of rain and thunderstorms…doesn’t like loud noises such as firecrackers, fireworks or thunder but he loves daily walks, car rides, belly rubs and to be brushed. Comes with all toys/bed etc. Questions? Just ask. Honest replies.

Story
Antonio is a sweet and lovable 15 month old Aussie blend boy. His mother is a Purebred Aussie and dad was a rolling stone, but he does look to have some lab in him, which is an awesome combination. Antonio is neutered, current on immunizations, house broken and crate trained. He was returned by his last adopter through no fault of his own. He is a shy boy and needs a quiet home as loud noises and loud voices scare him. Antonio is in foster care with several other dogs and gets along well. He loves to play and cuddle with his human. If Antonio sounds great for you, please fill out the application: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new family.

Story
Sweet Basil is an older gentleman that found himself in a rural shelter. He is said to be 7 years old and around 60lbs. He is listed as a border collie in his paperwork. I feel he may be older or he has had a very rough start in life. Basil has cauliflower ears and doesn't hear all that well and his coat still needs some work but he is such an amazing and sweet guy. He did great at the groomers and he is fine with other dogs. If you are looking for a buddy to just hang and chill with, he is up for that. Basil is very food and treat motivated. He loves short walks and laying in front of the fan. If this adorable gentleman sounds perfect for you, please fill out our application: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new family. All adopiton fees are used for future rescue efforts.
