Story
Luna is roughly an 8 month old red heeler kelpie who needs plenty of love, affection, and care. She’s energetic, and loves to cuddle just as much as she loves to play. She’s also a bit nippy, but heelers will heel right? Her story started when she was rescued from a shelter in 2025 by her previous owners, but unfortunately they had to say goodbye since they were not able to relocate her to their new home. My family recently took her in as they were looking for a new puppy, and we were so thrilled and happy to have her. She is the most sweetest dog we’ve ever come across. However, her primary caregiver had a serious, unexpected injury and Luna is unable to receive the proper care she needs. I have taken her in momentarily until she finds a loving, forever home. We’re so sad to let her go and wish that she doesn’t have to go through this again. She’s moved between too many places and too many people for only being 8 months old.

Story
Meet Derby Sherman McDougal!This one-year-old Kelpie mix is a certified goofball with the happiest smile around. He’s always ready to play, but don’t worry—he’s not over the top with energy. Derby is just as content hanging out by your side as he is going for a walk, and he’s a dream on the leash (seriously, a perfect 10/10—always slack). Derby would make the ultimate “go everywhere” buddy. He’s friendly with other dogs, not aggressive, and loves being part of the action. With his impressive ability to jump straight up in the air, he could also be a star in agility—but don’t worry, he’s not an escape artist, just a pup who likes to show off his tricks. This smart boy already knows “sit,” is fully potty trained, and will be neutered on Thursday 10/2. He’s also microchipped, vaccinated, and ready to roll. Once on the euthanasia list at a shelter, Derby is now so excited for his second chance—and even more excited to find his forever family. Could it be you? ##2527256##
