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
Katara is the perfect puppy package. She’s young enough that she still has fun energy and is eager to learn. But she’s old enough that she’s potty trained and is great in her crate. This 9-month old Australian shepherd loves to play with toys and be active. She is absolutely thrilled with chasing tennis balls, even though she isn’t always sure she wants to bring them back! She has impressive speed and would likely excel at agility. Katara is also quite the cuddle bug and loves snuggling with her person. She’s fantastic with other dogs and really would like a friendly dog buddy.  Katara is deaf and is quickly learning hand signals. She already knows sit, come, and shake, and is eager to keep learning more. Katara doesn’t want to sit home all day by herself. She’d prefer a family where someone is home a lot. She requires a physical, fenced yard and she would really thrive with someone who has herding dog experience and understands smart, active breeds.   ##2829589##

Story
Audrey’s story began in an overburdened rural shelter when she and her brother Kane arrived at just sixweeksold — orphaned, emaciated, and so cold they were barely hanging on after their mother was found nearby, struck by a car. Out of a litter of seven, Audrey and Kane were the only survivors. From the very start, she proved she was a fighter with a heart full of resilience. Now ninemonthsold, Audrey has blossomed into a confident, joyful girl who loves life with every ounce of her being. She’s an Australianshepherd and husky mix — smart, playful, and affectionate, with a spirit that shines wherever she goes. Audrey loves other dogs, especially big dogs and thrives in their company. She’s happiest when she’s playing, running, or splashing in the water, and she never turns down a good adventure. Audrey is brave, curious, and full of personality. She’s the kind of dog who wins hearts everywhere she goes and loves being close to her people. She and Kane will not be adopted together, and Audrey is ready for a home of her own — one where she can continue to grow into the amazing dog she’s meant to be. Audrey is being fostered in the St.Louisarea. To apply: https://www.speakrescue.com/pre-adoption-form ##2689461##

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
Kane’s story began with heartbreak. At just six weeks old, he and his sister Audrey were brought into an overburdened rural shelter after their mother was found nearby, struck by a car. Out of a litter of seven cold, emaciated puppies, Kane and Audrey were the only survivors. They fought through parasites, illness, and sarcoptic mange — proving from the very beginning that they are resilient, determined little souls. Today, at nine months old, Kane has grown into the sweetest, snuggliest boy. He’s a smaller Aussie/husky mix with a gentle heart and a soft spirit.  Kane can be shy when meeting new people, but once he feels safe, he melts right into your arms. He loves being close and finds comfort in quiet companionship. Kane is wonderfully dogfriendly and gains confidence from canine friends. He loves to play, run, and explore, and he absolutely lights up around water — swimming is one of his favorite things. His zoomies are legendary, full of joy and silliness, and he’s happiest when he has room to stretch his legs and enjoy life. Kane and Audrey are not being adopted together, and Kane is ready for a home of his own — one that understands gentle encouragement, soft voices, and the magic of watching a shy dog come out of his shell. He has come so far, and he’s ready for the next chapter with a family who will love him for the sweet, tender boy he is. Kane is being fostered in the St. Louis area.
