Story
Meet Dune! Like the soft sands of a sunlit shore, Dune is a beautiful little girl with a warm tan coat and mesmerizing blue eyes that sparkle like ocean waves. Her name is inspired by the serene beauty of the beach—calm yet full of life, just like her personality! Dune is playful and sweet, loves to cuddle, and has just the right amount of sass to keep things fun. She’s happiest exploring, snuggling after a day of play, and bringing a little seaside sunshine into your life. She’s also doing amazing with potty training (A+!) and has started working on basic commands like sit—she’s picking them up quickly and doing really well. If you’re ready for a loyal companion who will make every day feel like a walk on the beach, Dune is your girl!

Story
✨ Meet Star ✨ Star’s story began with heartbreak — her former “family” tried to throw her off a bridge. She was found emaciated, heartworm positive, and still wagging her tail at the shelter staff who saved her. Today, she’s a healthy, hilarious, and deeply cuddly foster pup who wants nothing more than a spot on the couch and the chance to explore her world with confidence. She’s officially finished her heartworm treatment, has completed her spay, and is finally cleared to run, romp, and keep growing. ⭐️ Now that she’s feeling better, we’re seeing some beautiful shifts in her behavior: She’s opening her trust circle even more with familiar people she’s met safely a few times. She’s starting to offer tail wags from a distance to new people — a huge deal for her. She’s able to peacefully coexist in the same room with her foster brother, Wally, during structured on-leash hangouts. And now that she’s fully cleared, we’re excited to slowly build toward more meaningful dog interactions with him and others. At home, she’s still the same polite, crate/house-trained snuggle bug. She settles beautifully in her crate or on her bed in her “kitchen apartment,” rides like a pro in her car crate, and gets very excited for new adventures — especially now that she can actually go on them. With her newfound energy, she’s enjoying: Carefully expanded walks Exploring trails Practicing being around groups of people Play sessions and enrichment that help her confidence bloom Each outing builds her trust a little more. She’s discovering that the world isn’t scary — especially when she has a calm, steady person guiding her. 👑 Star is looking for: • An adult-only, pet-free home • A calm environment (rural/suburban preferred) • An adopter excited to continue her training and confidence-building • People who will grow her world, not shrink it 💛 Our rescue will sponsor handoff sessions with her current trainer to ensure her progress continues seamlessly. Fiercely loyal, deeply goofy, and absolutely ready for her next chapter… Star’s future is bright ✨ DM @wally_the_pit or apply via the link to chat more — her foster mom is always happy to gush about her favorite girl!

Story
Greetings world My name is Luna. I am a happy and energetic young girl of about seven months old. I am looking for a family of my very own. Let me tell you a little bit about myself and see if you think we might be a match.I am a petite girl. My foster mom thinks that I am a mix. Most likely I am a German Shepherd/border collie mix. I have a beautiful gray face with fluffy ears I have wavy blonde and brown fur on my body. I am currently 37 pounds and will probably be about 50 pounds when I finish maturing. So a perfect size for someone wanting a more compact companion! My foster mom says that I am super super smart! I think that's a compliment! I am a very intense dog and I bond very quickly with my person. I am very fast very athletic and very focused. Foster mom says I need a job! When we are out in the yard I will run around and then I will run up and either do a leap by my foster mom or I will come to a sliding stop and just look at her for direction.I am extremely food motivated and will sell my soul or do any trick you want to try to teach me for some treats. I take treats gently which is a good thing. I love to play ball and I love to just engage with my foster mom. I will sit on command and stare intently waiting for further direction. I also know how to give the paw! I sometimes utilize this skill to try to encourage my foster mom to give me an extra treat from her a little snack bag that she carries around.I have several furry foster siblings that I get to interact with and play with. I love a good game of chase (I am super fast and I can dodge and weave with the best and I can also utilize my leapfrog skills. If someone trips in front of me I just go vertical and hurdle right over them). I'm also up for the little rough and tumble play as a few of my housemates like to play tag/tackle as well. It's all good. I am perfectly happy with that. I'm actually a fairly submissive player.I do have consider a prey drive so I will need a home with a dog at least my size or bigger. No small dogs. No felines. (Foster mom is unsure on fish; they move around quickly. They might also get my attention. ). I also need a home without chickens. There are currently chickens at my foster home and I am trying my best to parkour off the fence to see if I can get it to give. I would love a home with an individual or a couple that would like to work with me on agility or some other sport where I could demonstrate my superior skill sets. I am so eager to learn and I am so athletic. What do you expect when you have a working line dog/herding dog combination? I would also love someone who just wants to run! I have tons of energy and I would love to be a jogging partner!My foster mom says that I need to go to a home without children under the age of 15. I am a super excited dog and I get a little nippy. It's just an energy outlet but my foster mom says that it's not a good combination to have around young children. Well I've tried to describe a lot of my personality traits and hopefully I have peaked your interest if you're looking for a fun loving devoted friend. Please come and meet me soon.
