Story
Zoe is a fantastic and fun dog. Her parents had papers, and she was intentionally bred. She was the most responsive and gentle of her 13 siblings and has been very easy to train with hand signals. She loves nothing better than playing fetch! Zoe will be 5 years old on Aug 15th. We got her at 8 weeks, and she has not lived with other pets, but has been well socialized. She is good with responsible kids. Zoe does shed and has long terrier claws that must be maintained, is in good health, and generally well-behaved as long as counter-surfing habits are curtailed. She is kennel-trained. The problem is: we travel a ridiculous amount of the time, and she often has to be boarded. The constant change is stressful for her. We also have a new family member who is highly allergic to dogs, so we cannot have Zoe in the house anymore. Zoe would be happiest in a family with lots of energy to play ball in a big yard. She is very bright and would love to do agility training or learn tricks.

Thor is very playful and active. He loves playing fetch and getting belly rubs. He loves kids. He loves his toys but they need to be sturdy toys. We have taken him to the lake many times. It takes him a minute but then he loves to swim and play in the water.

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.

Story
Currently located in: Tennessee Adoptable in: All continental 48 United States (transport is available anywhere!) Good with dog: No thanks! She is dog selective so she would do best as the only dog. Good with cats: No thanks! She is too big & playful for cats. Good with kids: Yes! Just keep in mind she can sometimes be unaware of how big she really is so she could knock a small child over accidentally. As always adult supervision is required. Crate trained: Yes! House trained: Yes! Meet Millie Mae – Your Goofy, Gorgeous Gentle Giant! 🐾 Millie Mae is a stunning ~3-year-old Great Dane with a heart as big as her paws. This sweet, smart, and delightfully goofy girl is ready to find her perfect forever home! Millie has never met a stranger—she absolutely adores people. Whether it’s snuggling in bed, handing out slobbery kisses, or politely taking treats (she’s incredibly gentle!), she’s happiest when she’s by your side. She already knows her manners and commands—and will gladly show them off, especially if treats are involved. Giving paw is her personal favorite! This leggy beauty is as playful as she is loving. She has a hilarious obsession with toys—especially honking pig toys—and will keep you entertained with her silly antics. True to her Great Dane nature, Millie has no idea just how big she is, so a large couch (and a sense of humor!) is highly recommended if you’d like to keep a seat for yourself. Millie Mae is: Dog selective and would do best as the only dog in the home Not a match for cats (she just wants to play… but doesn’t understand her size!) Great with kids, though her lack of spatial awareness means supervision is important Excellent with horses, where her natural herding instincts shine Crate trained and LOVES her crate—it’s her safe, happy place (a 54” crate will be required) Millie is a slim, elegant girl with legs for days, but she’s also a big personality who will thrive with a confident, dog-savvy adopter—ideally someone familiar with Great Danes—who can provide structure, guidance, and remind her that—despite her opinions (did we mention she's sassy and will her voice be heard)—she is not actually in charge. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining companion who will fill your home with love (and maybe take over your couch), Millie Mae might just be your perfect match. Millie Mae is an incredible dog who just needs the right home. She’s been waiting, and dogs like her—big, dog-selective, misunderstood goofballs—often get overlooked. But the right person will see what we see: a loyal, hilarious, loving best friend who will give you her whole heart (and probably take over your entire couch). If you think you are the right match for Millie Mae, please apply to adopt here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1doqwbKyo7ZFi9Wq2ss-et4DLqM7esQfvEUdXVZBnA98/viewform?edit_requested=true&pli=1 Her adoption fee is $650, this includes vetting, transport (we typically can get within 1-2 hours of most places) and our animals all go home with an adoption bag to help them transition to their new home! We will NEVER ask or accept funds until your pets are in your hands. Please beware of scams! All of our animals are fully vetted before going to their fur-ever homes. They are spayed/neutered, current on vaccines, dewormed, up to date on flea/tick prevention, heartworm prevention, and microchipped! Please Note: All animals are posted until they are officially adopted. This animal may have other interested adopters in line. We are very quick to respond and process applications! You will be required to provide 2 non-family personal references, a home video tour, and a vet reference if you’ve previously had animals. Please feel free to send a video to our email or Facebook upon submitting an application; this lets us know you are serious and ready but also helps us to get you approved quickly. We will text and or call upon receiving your application to schedule a phone interview. You must be an approved adopter to go on meet and greets. This saves everyone’s time- especially our gracious foster families! This also allows for you to take the animals home from the meet and greet if you so choose. Interested in fostering? We would love to have you join our family! Fill out the same application above- we have our fosters go through the same process as adopters! Questions? Please email whiskersfunds@gmail.com or message us on Facebook!

Story
Dixie is a purebred female brittany, approximately 3 years old, who is looking for her forever home.  She weighs about 36 pounds, and is a total sweetheart and very smart. Dixie was surrendered to a shelter, due to her former owner not having time for her.  She was previously a hunting dog, but it appears she may be gun shy. However, she still has great hunting instinct. Luckily, NBRAN stepped in and pulled her out of the shelter.  She was heartworm positive, but has now completed treatment.  Dixie is full of energy and loves to RUN! She will need a large fenced in yard, so she can do what she loves the most. She prefers to spend a lot of her time outside running and exploring the yard for critters. She also loves to just lay outside and watch the world go by.  She enjoys cuddling on the couch with her humans.  She is the perfect blend of a ball of energy and a calm cuddle bug. There needs to be another dog in the house, as that seems to comfort her and she looks to them for guidance.  She loves to play, but is a little shy at first. Loud sudden noises or quick movements toward her make her a little nervous.  She is a great car rider, is crate trained and housebroken. She knows her name, listens well and comes when called. She responds to "whoa" and loves "go hunt". She also understands "no". She is a typical brittany on a leash and will pull. She wants to follow her nose. She has not been around cats or kids, since she's been in foster care. However, given her hunting instinct, she would probably not do best with cats. And with her initial shyness, especially around loud noises, older kids would be best. Dixie is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. She is located in SC and is available for transport up to 1400 miles, with the adopter driving the last 100 miles.  Her adoption fee is $400 to help offset some of her medical expenses. If you're interested in giving Dixie a forever home, please submit an adoption application to www.nbran.org and mention her name.
