Story
Zion is a very obedient, intelligent, and affectionate cattle dog who thrives when he has a job to do. He loves going for walks and is an enthusiastic swimmer—water is one of his absolute favorite things. He’s great with other dogs and gets along well in multi-dog homes. With kids he’s just okay. He does best with an experienced handler who understands cattle dogs (or herding breeds in general) and can give him structure, mental stimulation, and purposeful activity. A farm, acreage, or active rural/suburban lifestyle where he can work and burn energy would be ideal. He’s not the right fit for a low-activity or first-time dog owner. One important note so you know what to expect: When you pet him he loves it—then sometimes nips at you in response. He has never bitten and the nipping is not aggressive; it seems more like he gets overstimulated and has an “off” switch that doesn’t fully work. It’s a quirk that an experienced cattle-dog person will understand and can manage.

Story
We are looking for a responsible, experienced forever home for our 5-year-old Australian Cattle Dog. He has been part of our family (mom, dad, and two kids) and lives happily with our two other dogs—he truly loves his housemates and is affectionate with the people he knows. He is an active, playful dog who thrives on walks, playtime, and interaction. He is highly intelligent, knows all his basic commands, and is obedient. He is great with our kids and very affectionate once he trusts you. Important notes for potential adopters: He can be protective when strangers come to the house, which is typical of the breed. We strongly recommend an experienced owner who understands Australian Cattle Dogs and can provide consistent leadership. Ideally, a home without frequent kids coming in and out would be the best fit. He also has a couple of endearing (and funny) quirks: he sometimes tries to “herd” the kitchen cabinets and will jump at tree branches. These are classic herding-breed behaviors.

Story
Meet `Toodles`!This sweet two-and-a half year old Pit Bull mix girl weighing in at 50 pounds of love and loyalty. She may be shy and timid when meeting new people, but with patience and a little time, her affectionate personality begins to shine through. Because she can be touch and sound sensitive at times, she is looking for someone who understands that trust is earned gently-and once you`ve earned it, you`ll be rewarded with happy zoomies every time a butt scratch is involved!She enjoys walks, exploring new places, and going on adventures. Toodles needs calm, predictable home where she can feel safe and secure. Loud noises and busy environments can frighten her, so a quieter household is essential for her to thrive.This girl would do best as the only dog in the home so she can soak up all the love and attention for herself. Multiple meet and greets may be needed before adoption to help her build confidence with new people, but for the right adopter she`ll be a deeply rewarding companion. If your patient, kind and looking for a loyal best friend who just needs a little understanding, she may be the perfect match for you.

Story
Meet `Oreo` a 10 month old handsome Yorkie mix.This young guy is full of energy and personality. He is always looking for his next adventure. He is very friendly with people and loves being around his humans. Because he is a puppy, he has plenty of energy and can be quite the climber and jumper. He can even scale a 6 foot fence, so his new family will need to be especially careful with outdoor supervision, even with a suggested fence he will need to be on a leash.He is a little dog shy, so he would need to be in a home where slow introductions need to take place and handled slowly and patiently.His energetic and athletic nature also means he would not be a good match for a senior or someone looking for a calm, low energy couch potato.Oreo will need to meet all humans and canines before adoption.
