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

Maple is a 2.5-year-old French Brittany who packs a whole lot of charm into her perfect 25-pound frame. Her foster family lovingly calls her “Meatball,” and honestly…it fits. She’s adorable, goofy, snuggly, and absolutely devoted to her people. Maple LOVES car rides, plush toys, and curling up next to you for belly rubs. She didn’t get much freedom or enrichment in her early life and likely spent most of her time in a kennel, so she came to us needing a refresher on potty training and some basic house habits. She’s made steady progress but still needs a patient family willing to keep her routine consistent. She can be a bit curious and may check out items that aren’t technically “hers,” so keeping tempting things out of reach and offering plenty of dog-safe toys will set her up for success. Maple does well in her kennel when her people are out of the house. She may give a little protest bark at first (she just has to make sure you know she has notes), but she settles down and rests quietly once she realizes she’s safe. Maple is not a dog that can live with or closely interact with other dogs. Through training, she has made progress in calmly seeing dogs at a distance with positive reinforcement, but pushing those interactions too quickly can cause anxiety for her. For her comfort and safety, she must be an only dog, and a fenced-in yard (ideally privacy fenced) would suit her best so she can explore and enjoy the outdoors stress-free. She’s playful, affectionate, and incredibly people-oriented. Maple has mastered “sit", and is working on more tricks, but needs a little patience since she isn’t very food motivated. Maple is spayed, current on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped. Now she’s just waiting for a family who sees how special she is and can give her the structure, love, and dog-free home she deserves. Maple is currently in foster care in Wisconsin and has an adoption donation fee of $400. If you are interested in adopting her and have been approved to adopt, let your state coordinator know you are interested in her. If you haven’t yet done so, please go to: https://www.nbran.org/adopt/adoption-application to fill out an application. Your state coordinator will contact you and take you through the approval process. If your application looks like a possible fit for her, your coordinator will contact Maple’s coordinator and continue the screening process. Maple’s state coordinator is Hallie Barbara. She can be reached at Minnesotabrittany@gmail.com for questions or inquires. Thank you for considering this sweet girl. March 7, 2026, 3:26 pm

VA/Buddy

Brittany Basset Hound

Story

Buddy is a one-year-old, handsome fellow. He is part Brittany, part Basset Hound. Buddy had a rough start in life, growing up with 6 of his littermates in the same house after his owner passed away. He was bullied quite a lot and didn't get much human attention. He is making up for that now. He LOVES being with one attentive person. He does not like being left alone and will be by your side every moment that he can. He is very smart and has learned not to jump up on people. He has learned to sit, give a paw, give another paw, and lie down, all within about a month. So the more time you spend with him, the more he will learn. He does not like being kenneled and will whine loudly if confined. This will need to be worked on. Buddy enjoys sleeping with his humans at bedtime and will lie quietly on the bed throughout the night. Buddy will need someone who can spend a lot of time with him, and he will need to be crated when left alone. He tends to be very mouthy and will try to investigate and chew on most things, so it’s important to puppy-proof your home. He is also learning to fetch and loves watching and chasing birds. With those long legs, fortunately, he does not attempt to jump fences! Buddy's adoption fee is $400 to offset the cost of vetting and to help other rescues in need. He is currently located in Virginia and can be transported up to 1400 miles via our Canine Railroad.

Story

Sweet guardian dog. She does tend to bark outside a lot so not a good option if you live close to neighbors and plan to fence her in outside. Best for a small farm. She loves to protect her acre lol. She is very food protective so give treats she can eat right away instead of hiding them. Keep small children and strangers away while she is eating. She does well with kids and strangers with supervision!

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

Hurley (8yrs old) has been with us since he was newborn. Our previous neighbors bred their dogs (dad was short hair husky, mom was a mutt). He is a very smart dog but needs consistency and follow through when training new commands. He wants to always be with people and close to them. He could cuddle all day. The hope is the new home is able to provide that affection and attention he is seeking.
