Story
Jovie is a 4-year-old Lab/Greyhound mix that we adopted as a puppy from the Louisville ASPCA. She was originally rescued from the floods in Eastern Kentucky, and she’s been a loved part of our family ever since. Over the last few years our lives have changed a lot — we welcomed a baby, are expecting another soon, and recently relocated. With everything going on, we’ve realized that Jovie needs more exercise, engagement, and one-on-one attention than we’re able to give her right now, and we want to find her a home where she can truly thrive. Jovie is very smart, affectionate, and incredibly kind with people; she's been great with our child. She has a lot of energy and does best when mentally and physically engaged. Like many smart dogs, she can become anxious or reactive when bored or overstimulated, so she would do best with an experienced owner who can give her consistent activity and structure.

Story
Meet Your New Best Friend! Jayce is a 3-year-old Brittnay Mix who is looking for his forever home. While he might be a little shy when you first meet him, give him a moment to come out of his shell, and you'll find a funny, bouncy, and deeply loving companion. Jayce is a "paws-on" kind of dog! He is famous for his hugs and will spend his time trying to wrap his paws around you if he isn't already trying to curl up in your lap. He is the perfect blend of a lounge partner and a playmate. Because of his cautious temperament, Jayce has some specific needs to help him feel safe and successful: No Other Dogs: He prefers being the "only child" and can be reactive toward strange dogs. Quiet Environment: He would not enjoy the high-stress environment of a dog park. Patient Humans: He needs an owner who understands he needs to approach new things at his own pace. No Strangers (at first): He can be vocal with people he doesn't know, but his loyalty to his inner circle is unmatched. If you have the patience to let him blossom, you will be rewarded with a level of love and loyalty that only a dog like Jayce can give. He is ready to be your most devoted friend. Jayce's adoption fee is $325 to offset the cost of vetting and help other rescues in need. He is currently located in Georgia and can be transported up to 1400 miles via our Canine Railroad. For more information, please contact NBRAN Virginia coordinator Leslie Trenta​ .  leslie@leslietrentadesigns.com      May 1, 2026, 11:36 pm

Story
*This dog doesn’t belong to ASF and hasn’t been evaluated by ASF.* Meet Cooper! He is an 8-year-old Miniature American Shepherd and weighs around 20 lbs. He is neutered and up to date on shots (he is allergic to the rabies and DHPP vaccines) but isn’t on heartworm prevention. Cooper is nervous around strangers! He hasn’t been tested around younger children. He is good with older children and cats. He is good with the other dogs inside of the home but is nervous around dogs outside of the home! He isn’t housebroken or crate trained. The owner is surrendering him because her other dog doesn’t get along with him. He needs to go ASAP! If you think you can provide a great home for Cooper, please contact the owner listed below. There is a $150 rehoming fee to assure good folks with good intentions. This fee will be donated to Australian Shepherds Furever for their assistance in placing Cooper. Owner’s Contact Information: Jessica jessicakaylett@yahoo.com

Story
BJ was born in his home, is 3.5 years old. Has had obedience, non- distraction & focus training with a view to service for person with disabilities or other needs. The training has not continued to add specific assistance disciplines, he is trained off leash to accompany handler at any public facility or establishment. BJ loves frisbee, T-ball (catching any pitch or fly) & sitting in McDonalds booth eating a hamburger. He needs a best friend. He has spent his whole life with 1 person attending to him & training him. Transition should be simple & new handler will have that golden companion so many imagine when having a dog. This is not hyperbole. He's quite active, extremely loving & kinda needy. Is very loyal & willing to learn and do anything asked of him. It is best for an experienced dog owner to adopt, or else some one who is either single or has time for an every day best friend. Mother is white Shepherd. More Images videos available upon request.
