Story
I adopted bingo a few weeks ago. She’s a good dog but I not able to give her the proper stimulation she needs. She loves to play with toys and she likes to lay and chew on them to relax herself. She especially loves big toys that crinkle and squeak. She is the perfect dog for someone that is active or anyone that’s an outdoor lover. She loves to play outside and go on walks. She is food motivated which helps a lot with training. She does good in public and with other dogs. She is crate trained. She sleeps in her crate at night and is in there while I am at work. She is 49lbs, which I would consider a medium sized dog, and about 2 years old. She is on an anxiety medication called Prozac which she takes everyday but it has helped her a lot and she eats the pill pretty easily if you just put it in any food she likes. My goal is for her to be adopted into a loving home🤍🤍

Story
Ariel is the star of the show, and has been dubbed a "cat-dog" more than once- she is not a fan of baths or water, only wants to cuddle if she initiates, and loves a tummy rub. She is a very sweet pup that was very high energy in her prime but she is now 8 years old and has since settled down in her golden years and has shifted from a "runner" to a "foodie" :) unfortunately with a new baby, even though Ariel is excellent around her we just don't have the capacity to give her the time and attention she deserves and its causing some puppy blues 😔... its been a very difficult decision but we just want to do whats best for her and hoping to place her in a loving home thats able to be more involved and devote the time to her we weren't able to

Story
Roscoe is the biggest cuddle bug you will ever meet. Very versatile in his activities, he will be a couch potato when you are binge watching your favorite shows, but will go outside for hours at the drop of a hat- he loves hiking, running through any body of water he can find, and will play fetch with a ball until your arm falls off. He can get excited and zoomies at times but he is the sweetest most gentle and loving pupper you'll ever meet

Story
Adopted Daisy May 6 weeks ago from shelter. She was emaciated and needed good nutrition and Vet care. She got this from us and now she is healthy and fit. However, due to our advanced ages and my health issues, we can not keep her. She is too much dog for us. She is 53 lbs, microchipped, spayed and up on shots. She walks on a leash and enjoys hiking. She knows a few tricks. Good appetite. Is a pretty girl.

Story
Miss Molly Mae is ready to find her forever home. Molly is a beautiful 6 1/2 year old red tri Australian Shepherd with a full tail. She is being fostered in Soddy Daisy, TN. Molly found herself in need of a new home due to her previous owner's declining health. It was a very hard decision for him but he knew that it was in Molly's best interest. ASF was contacted and immediately stepped up for Molly. Unfortunately, once Molly came into rescue, it was determined that she was heartworm positive. A treatment plan was set into place and she has now completed her treatment and has a clean bill of health. Yay Molly! Molly is a very laid back girl and the ideal home for her would be one very similar to what she had with her previous owner... quiet and comforting. She is content spending her days right at home. A fenced in yard and a porch are definitely a plus! She enjoys roaming around the yard watching the wildlife and then will lay on the porch taking it all in. While inside, she will lay in her bed (or on the couch if allowed) next to you and be perfectly happy! She is totally fine being an only dog, but would also be ok with another laid back furry friend. She is such a good girl and so eager to please. Molly is spayed, current on all vaccinations, on heartworm prevention and microchipped. If you are looking for a new companion and feel your home would be a wonderful place for Molly to land, please complete our adoption application with the link provided. https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to her new furever family.
