Story
Joseph is the cutest little bundle of personality. Only about 5 pounds, he’s an Australian shepherd/Pomeranian mix who loves toys, the great outdoors, and his people. There’s a lot of energy in this happy boy, but he also likes to relax and snuggle. Joseph is 4 months old. He’s good in his crate, working at potty training, and is starting to figure out walking on a leash. Joseph absolutely loves other dogs and would love to have an active dog BFF. He chases balls, has fantastic zoomies, and wants to win every game of tag. We bet he’d be a natural at agility or dog sports. Joseph would love a home with a physical, fenced yard where he could race around and have fun. He’d love an active person who will take him on adventures. This happy boy is being fostered in the St. Louis area. ##2628704##

Story
We’re not sure about Veronica’s backstory, but we know that she’s likely been through a lot. It seems as if someone wasn’t always very nice to her because she shuts down in some situations. But she does want to be right with her person, following closely on their heels. We think Veronica is about 6 years old. She is a gorgeous Australian shepherd with a gentle personality. While she is recovering from heartworm treatment, she still has energy and wants to play.  Veronica is deaf and has limited vision. She’s very smart and has learned several touch commands including “good girl” and “come.” She is learning to walk nicely on a leash and is housebroken. She sleeps nicely in her pen overnight. Veronica would do best in a home with a friendly dog to help give her confidence. She does not like being left alone for very long, so she’d love someone who is home most of the day. She’d love an active person because she loves to explore and go on adventures. She’d prefer a physical, fenced yard to keep her safe. This sweet, beautiful Aussie is being fostered in the St. Louis area.  ##2378212##

Story
Handsome Martin is the perfect mix of Australian shepherd and corgi. He has the brains, the looks, and the personality. This 3-month-old puppy was orphaned with his sister when his mom died tragically. He was bottle-raised and is now a sweet and loving puppy who certain adores his people. Martin’s favorite thing to do is play with toys. He is good with other dogs and is doing well with potty training, crate training, and walking on a leash.  Martin is deaf and has quickly been picking up loads of hand signals. In days, he learned sit, treat, stay, come, and kennel. He’s brilliant and eager to learn more. Martin would love a home where someone is around much of the day. He would prefer a physical, fenced yard so he could have safe zoomies and adventures. Martin absolutely loves his humans and wants to be held close and snuggled as much as possible. This sweet pup is being fostered near Kalamazoo, Michigan. Apply here: https://www.speakrescue.com/pre-adoption-form ##2660249##

Story
Nancy is a young Australian cattle dog who would just love to sit on your lap and be cuddled all day. She’s smart and full of personality with spurts of play time then lots of chill time.  Nancy is about 3 or 4 years old. She is completely house trained and is excellent in her crate. She’s good on a leash and knows several commands including “sit” and “kennel.” She is particularly motivated if treats are involved! Nancy loves other dogs but can get pretty rowdy when she plays. She would be great with a dog buddy as long as the dog is accepting, playful, and not easily offended by silly antics. One of Nancy’s favorite things is to talk to all her favorite toys. Nancy needs a home with a fenced-in yard and would prefer someone who has herding dog experience. Nancy has trouble navigating stairs and needs a home with no steps. No kids under 10 please. Nancy is being fostered in the St. Louis area. Please fill out an application: https://www.speakrescue.com/pre-adoption-form ##1270950##

Story
Harley was found abandoned in Cairo, Missouri. He was underweight and had intestinal parasites. He is healthy now and has been neutered. He weighs 28 lbs. He runs fast. He could be good at agility, herding or your running partner. He is affectionate, with soft fur and likes to be near you. He has a low maintenance coat. Walks well on a leash. Travels well in the car. He does let you know when he needs to go out either by going to the door or whining. Occasionally I find a poop surprise. I have 2 Golden Retrievers. I know now 2 dogs are my limit. I rescued this little guy, got him healthy and neutered and he is now ready for his forever home.
