Story
Meet Pepper  Pepper is an approximately 2-year-old, 37 pound cattle dog mix with the perfect blend of energy and melt-into-you affection. Pepper’s journey hasn’t been the easiest, so she needs some time to truly trust new people. During that time, she prefers to tuck herself under the bed or coffee table — her safe little hideaways where she can quietly get used to your presence. But once she decides you’re her person? Oh, she loves with her whole heart. When Pepper bonds, she bonds completely. She comes when called, seeks out cuddles, and will happily curl up on the bed to sleep close to you. She craves touch, gentle reassurance, and connection — and she gives it all right back. Despite her initial shyness, Pepper is wonderfully well-mannered in the home. She hasn’t been kenneled once in while she’s been in foster care and has never destroyed a single thing. She’s smart, respectful, and eager to understand what’s expected of her. This congenial girl lives with 4 other dogs of varying sizes and loves them all! Pepper enjoys playing and is pretty energetic in her play-style. She listens well when she is asked to settle down a bit too.  Leash life is still a little scary for her, but with patience, encouragement, and consistency, she will absolutely get there — especially because this girl is very intelligent and wants to please. Another friendly, confident dog in the home will help her continue to learn and feel safe. Pepper is looking for: A patient foster or adopter Someone who understands shy or sensitive dogs A home with another welcoming dog to show her the ropes A family who will give her the time she needs to trust — and then enjoy the loyal, adoring companion she becomes If you’re the kind of person who finds joy in watching a shy dog blossom — who wants to be someone’s safe place and receive unconditional love in return — Pepper just might be your heart dog. If you give Pepper the time she needs, she’ll give you everything. If you would like to adopt/foster please apply at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/  The adoption fee of $250 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip.   ##2594816##

This is Radley! He is a great cuddle buddy, a warm friend, and a great companion. We are in need of a rehoming family because our house is far too small and welcoming a new little one. Radley is not great with other dogs and is okay with kids that are calm. He would love a backyard to roam and get energy out. I WILL PAY YOU TO TAKE HIM

Marco is the ultimate cuddle buddy and is ready to be your adventure partner! His favorite things are diving headfirst into your lap for belly rubs, looking out the window, a good squeaky toy, and like any herding breed, fetch. He could play all day long - inside, outside, with a stuffed animal or a ball, he doesn’t care, as long as you’re throwing. He adores people, and is ready to snuggle at all times. So far he’s been great crated while left alone, happy to nap until you’re back at home. Marco is still working on his excitement while passing other dogs when out on walks, and he's highly food motivated, so if you have a stash of treats with you, he’ll be very attentive. While he’s still a bit suspicious of his harness, he’s getting braver each day, and has mostly mastered sit. He’s currently working on stay and down, and getting used to brushing and bathing, as grooming is definitely a priority with a coat as unique as his. Right now, he has a bit of a funky haircut on his midsection from his previous life, but it should all grow back eventually!  Marco’s high-energy disposition and adoring personality would be the perfect combination for someone who runs, has a yard to play fetch, or even works from home. He’s curious and loves to observe whatever you’re doing, and is eager to tag along from room to room. Marco is so ready to share all of his love with his forever family - just as long as they have plenty of treats!  ##2600144##

Story
Meet Macks, a 5-year-old Cattle Dog/Shepherd mix with a heart full of potential and a loving spirit. Macks was surrendered to a high-kill shelter after her previous owner passed away, and she’s now looking for a new family to give her the love and stability she deserves. Initially anxious and a bit flighty, Macks requires some time to build trust. However, once she feels secure, she becomes an incredibly affectionate and well-behaved companion. Macks is not fond of other dogs or cats, so she would do best in a home where she can be the only pet. She will thrive in a household with middle school-aged children or older, or with adults who can provide her with the patience and care she needs to feel at ease. If you're looking for a loyal and loving dog who will become deeply attached to her new family, Macks is ready to bring her devotion and warmth into your home.

Story
Felix is a beautiful red aussie, approximately 7 to 10 years old. We are helping a veterinary find a home for Felix and his companion Minnie. Felix is aged at 7-10 years old, he is neutered and is more stoic and chill than Minnie, but he gets bouts of the zoomies that are hilarious to witness. Felix is stiff and dominant when meeting other dogs. He is not outright aggressive, by any means, but if a dog challenges him he will respond. Felix is quick to correct Minnie when she is over the top with him, but he is fair and quick in his corrections. Felix knows basic commands as well as a trick or two and loves to show off for treats! Felix is also slightly protective of his food and water -- we believe that is because he is diabetic. Felix is a controlled diabetic and has done VERY well on his insulin. This is a lifelong health issue and he will have to remain on insulin for life. Felix is crate trained and doesn't like to mess in his kennel. He has the walking schedule down and will let us know if we're late. Both dogs were found off highway I-40, just outside of Amarillo Texas. We have done everything possible to find their owners, with no luck, so now they are looking for a new home. I believe Minnie and Felix need to find a home together, preferably with no other dogs, or a very submissive female. We have no idea how they are around kids as this is a vet clinic, but they are both herding breeds and showcase most of the traits. Neither dog has EVER been mouthy towards staff or visitors. Mini is friendly with all people and has done well with controlled meets of other dogs. She did jump at one of our clinic cats, but after the cat slapped her, she decided that avoiding them all was the best course. Minnie is crate trained as she waits quietly until she has to use the bathroom and then she will let us know. Minnie does well on the leash and knows several basic commands. She LOVES her big brother Felix and is a prime example of the Australian Shepherd Breed, in her mannerisms, energy level and desire to be with people.  PLEASE GO TO OUR WEBSITE TO SEE MORE PICS AND VIDEOS https://www.circle2rescue.com/available-pets/ If you would like to adopt, please complete an application  at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/  The adoption fee of $350 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip. The adoption fee for her bonded companion, Felix is included in Minnie's adoption fee. ##2574742##

Story
Pretty as can be with a soft, thoughtful presence — say hello to Nita! New experiences still sparkle with a bit of mystery for this bright young girl: fresh sounds, unfamiliar paths, new people and pups. She prefers to take a moment to observe first, but she is curious and warms up quickly when she can approach on her own terms. Once she decides you’re part of her circle, her tail loosens into a happy rhythm and her trust unfurls in a lovely, steady way. Nita gains confidence from other dogs, so she’ll thrive in a home with a canine companion. She’s already nailed the essentials — easy leash walking, excellent house manners, knows how to use a door, and the cozy art of being a beloved family member. She’s smart, eager, and picking up new skills and confidence with surprising speed. In addition to another friendly dog, Nita will need a securely fenced yard and a family who gives her just a bit more time to ease into new environments. She doesn’t need anything extraordinary — just the space and patience to settle in and discover how good life can be. Nita’s story began on an Indian Reservation. After her owner passed away, she and several other dogs were rescued and given a fresh start. Now Nita is ready for her own forever home. She’s estimated to be around 10 months old and roughly 35 pounds. Likely an Australian Shepherd / Australian Cattle Dog mix — and, as with many rez dogs, almost certainly a beautiful blend of many hardy, healthy breeds.

Story
Hi, I’m Cedar. I used to be a rez dog but now I’ve been given a second chance at a safe, fun life. I’ve already discovered that this new life is pretty wonderful! I’m a kind, gentle girl searching for my best friend—my human. I’ll be polite with others, but my heart and focus will always be on you. I don’t need constant attention from everyone we meet, just a person (or people) to call my own. I’m fine sharing a home with other dogs, but it’s not a requirement—what I truly hope for is a human who wants me as their companion, someone who will see me as their best friend too. I get along with my foster siblings, but I’ll be honest—sometimes my foster brother tries to bug me into playing, and it gets a little annoying. I do best with other dogs who like outdoor adventures and don’t need constant playtime at home. I’m sensitive and eager to please, so gentle guidance works best with me. If you use kind words and positive reinforcement—praise, happy voices, claps, and “good girl!”—I’ll shine. I pick things up quickly, and encouragement builds my confidence. Even a simple “off” or “down” is all I need to listen right away—I never want to disappoint you. I’d love to go on walks, hikes, and adventures, or just be part of your daily life. The more time I get to spend with you, the happier I’ll be. I’m quiet, smart, and ready to learn how to fit into this new lifestyle. I’ll roll over for belly rubs, stretch out for a massage, or curl up at your feet. I’m crate-trained and do well there, though I won’t need it for long. And yes, I’ve got my own little quirks—but only the kind that will make you smile. If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle best friend who will love you with her whole heart, I’m right here waiting. Best guess on my age is about 1.5 years and I'm 35 to 40 pounds. Love, Cedar   **** Cedar is out of town until Dec 1st.  If you would like to adopt, please complete an application  at https://www.circle2rescue.com/dog-adoption-application/  The adoption fee of $325 includes the spay/neuter, vaccinations, deworming and microchip.   ##2486146##
