Story
WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR A FOREVER HOME FOR THIS LOVING YOUNG FEMALE LAB MIX!! Luna is a sweet, 44 lb., 1 1/2-year-old Lab mix. She has been in our care for four months since showing up on our property. We have had her vet checked and up to date on all of her shots, flea/tick and heartworm prevention. Luna is very attentive, energetic, and gets along well with other dogs. We have been working on her sit/stay skills. She has done great at the dog park, in the dog crate, on leash, eating 2x/day, riding in the car, a 3-day kennel stay, and a visit to the groomer. She loves lots of pets and snuggles! She is very affectionate! We think Luna would do really well in a home that can give her the time and attention she needs as a young, adult dog. She loves playing outside with our dog, throwing the ball or frisbee, or playing with her tug toy. . In the right home, we know she will thrive and be a loving pet.

Story
This sweet boy was dumped near our house, and has been with us for a few weeks. We unfortunately can not keep him since he does not get along with our mini pig, and we have to many animals as is. He is good with our dogs, LOVES people so I would assume good with kids. He is very sweet and loving just needs a good home, and some basic training. (We are working on sit, come, stay, down etc.) He is not fixed, but has seen a vet and is tick, flea, and heartworm free. We have him on next guard. He loves to play with toys and get belly rubs. We just want him to go to a good home. We can send him with all the stuff we have gotten for him as well. crate, bed, blankets, food and water bowl, toys, and the food we have been feeding him.

Story
Prince was born in the Fall of 2022 and adopted from McKamey at around six months. He has a doggie friend with whom he lives and plays and also lives with a cat that he tolerates. He loves being outside but is known to get out of the fenced area when left unsupervised. He's a very sweet boy. I moved away over a year ago and he has been under the care of my house sitter but I am about to lose the property where he has been staying. He has an allergy to fleas and the topical flea treatments don't seem effective so he is bathed often with Dawn soap and uses a Soresto collar.

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
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.  December 15, 2025, 9:27 am
