Story
This little doggie is so sweet loving and nice. Her original owners abandoned them, then when someone else took them in they chained her and her mom up and breed them outside for years. We finally got them and are needing a home for at least the little girl. She will be fixed by the first week in October. She has not gotten shots but we did treat her with flea and tick medicine and baths. She loves are dog and likes to play with are kitties. We cannot keep her for very long but we wish we could. The younger one loves to play with her mom and toys. She is very willing to take baths and get into pools. We have taken her on walks and she is doing great with it. She has been around a lot of kids and only wants attention from them she definitely does not discriminate. She is also so smart. We taught her how to sit and lay in ONE day. She has beautiful eyes and gorgeous coloring on her fur. She is very active and just wants to be around someone.

Story
This little lady is the cuddliest dog ever she only wants to lay on the couch or the ground with you. She loves to kiss and get up on you. She was abandoned with her daughter ( we think). And then left outside chained and breed for years, when we finally got them we started looking at shelters for them that are no kill and we know, but they are all full. She will be fixed by the first week in October and we will find out both of their ages approximately the same day. She isn’t good with walks YET, but likes to hangout with anyone whenever. They are a little scared of fast hand movement when they first meet people, but after she warms up she is fine. She will always make time for you to pet her belly. We are very willing to drop off or if you want to come pick her up that is totally fine.

Story
Age: about 10 months Breed: Australian Cattle Dog mix Weight: 31 lbs Sex: Female Health: healthy, spayed, utd on shots, on monthly HWP Disposition: Energetic, playful, loyal, smart, eager to please From Willie’s foster mom: Willie came to me as a very scared, shy puppy that was saved just 5 minutes from a euthanasia deadline. It is thought that she and her sister were dumped in rural MO. She has come out of her shell with time and love and is now acting like a typical Australian Cattle Dog. She is compact and strong, loves to play with toys - especially loves to play fetch (she brings it back, yay!). She is mostly dog friendly. She loves my submissive large male, she likes my smaller female, but try’s to herd her and is possessive of her toys from her. Willie must go to a home that has experience with ACD’s. She is true to the breed. She has a high herding drive. She is so loyal that she does not welcome anyone in the home except me and my husband. We are working with a trainer to try to help this, but she is not suitable to be in a home with children. Her ideal home would be a farm or someone with property where she can run and work. Or a young person/couple that likes adventures and take her along. She loves car rides and to go anywhere with me. She may not ever accept anyone in her home except family. You would have to be very aware of this before committing to her. She cuddles with us in the evening after a good day of work. Any questions? Apply today and we can talk about Willie to see if she is a match. https://airtable.com/shrSbfFkCdeRMtZw2
