Story
Beautiful Mini Australian ShepherdThe Ultimate 18 lb Companion!Meet this gorgeous 11-month old mini Aussie! At just 18.4 pounds, she is the perfect "portable" size and small enough to curl up right next to you. Her ideal home would be a single person, male or female. She tends to attach to one person.She likes to “resource guard” her chosen human and therefore a single person would be ideal for her.She is timid of men at first, but does warm up quickly. My husband kept treats in his pocket and she stopped being timid of him within a few days. She is a great dog other than human resource guarding that she can still be broke of. We don’t have the time or the energy. She has great recall and is doing fantastic on basic commands!Housebroken and crate trainedUp-to-date on all appropriate shotsDog-friendly and loves to playKid-friendly and exposed to farm lifeRed merle with blue eyesSuper smart - has great recalLShe is super sweet, content to chill on the couch but also always ready to play!

Coco is around 1.5 years old and is definitely the sweetest girl you’ll ever meet! Found abandoned in town, she's longing for the love and companionship she so deserves. She is a vibrant pittie lab mix who is still patiently searching for her forever home. While she is outgoing, playful and full of energy, she is also very intelligent. She loves nothing more than exploring the world on a leash. She loves going for walks and craves the affection of people. She is a gentle lady with a big personality. Coco is still waiting to be discovered! Could you be the one to offer Coco the loving home she's been waiting for?

Story
Duke is a big sweet guy looking for his forever home. He really likes to go on walks and take in all the smells. He'll need a little work on his wanting to pull his person along with him but he's already making progress. He's still a younger active dog who will enjoy adventures with his family and playing in the yard. We have found that he knows basic commands in German which will be great fun for his family to learn new things with him. He appears to be housebroke and should settle right into his families routine. Come visit Duke to see if he's your new best friend.
