Story
Darling is a smaller cattle dog/Shepherd mix born in January 2021. She came in as a stray with another dog. Darling gets along ok with dogs smaller than her, but not so well with bigger dogs. Darling is very smart and aware of everything going on around her. She loves people and loves attention. Darling was adopted earlier this year, but her new mom had to move to assisted living and Darling couldn't go along. She walks well on a leash and rides well in a car. Darling is eager to find a new family and start a new life - would you like to be her new best friend? She hopes she can find a new Home for the Holidays! All pets adopted from the Humane Society of Freeborn County will be spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, testing and will be microchipped. All of this is included in their adoption fee. Fill out an application to adopt at freeborncountyhs.org When transitioning your new pet home please allow for at least 4-6 weeks for your pet to adjust to their new home. They will need this time to decompress, and adjust to a new routine and environment. During that time we will provide check ins and counseling to ensure a successful transition. Please review all basic adoption requirements listed on our website before applying. We take finding the right homes for the animals in our care very seriously. They deserve nothing but the best! Please allow 2-7 days for applications to be processed. If an animal is listed in foster care, these pets are not at our facility, but are in foster care homes. They are still available for adoption, and meet and greets are done with pre-approved applicants only. If you have any questions feel free to send us an email at freeborncohumanesociety@gmail.com, send us a message on Facebook, or call or text 507-377-8501.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Lyra is about 2 years old and looks to be a shepherd/heeler type mix. She was found running loose, held for the LEGAL stray hold, and never claimed. She is very shy but becomes very loyal and loving companion once she's comfortable and secure. Lyra has been vet checked, spayed, chipped, and her fee is $150. Lyra has been adopted a couple of times and returned as she just hasn't been able to find the right fit yet. She is incredibly smart and learns quickly. However she does possess quite a few of the intense traits of a herding breed type dog. She is laser focused and needs both mental and physical exercise. She would love to have some type of job to do and would probably be a great candidate for agility training. She does tend to bond quite closely to one or two people and can be protective and territorial. Lyra needs an ADULT only home. She needs someone who is experience with herding breed types and their quirky personalities. She would love a home that is ready, willing, and able to continue with her training and helping her gain confidence. FENCED YARD needed. Lyra has done well with well mannered MALE dogs who respect her space. She does enjoy playing with other dogs once she's comfortable. Cats? Most likely a no. Cuddling is one of her favorite things. She's also in need of a home in which she won't be left alone for long hours. NOTE:  Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved. Applications can be submitted at our website, mchs.rescuegroups.org. We are located at 101 22nd St. SE in Austin, right next to the airport. It's exit 180B off of I-90, right off of 218 South. We do require that potential adopters be at least 21 years old and that any resident dogs be up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing/preventative, and spayed or neutered.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 13, 2025, 3:41 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Boo, aka Blue (his former owners used both) was originally adopted from us back in 2021, when he was around 2 years old. His family life recently changed drastically and he is back with us, due to no fault of his own. This was a very sad and difficult situation for all involved and we're happy that the family reached out to us about taking him back. Boo has been completely vetted, chipped, and his fee is $125. Boo is a medium sized dog who appears to be a mix of maybe cattle dog, husky, Australian shepherd, and rat terrier. He is now around 6 years old. He very much loves to be with his people and is affectionate and attentive. He would do best in a home in which he's not left alone for long hours. He is still pretty active, enjoys his exercise, and is also content to hang out and cuddle. He has done well with other dogs and kids. He has been okay with some adult cats but can be a tad rough when he tries to play with them. NOTE:  Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved.

Story
🎉 Meet Casper — the shy guy with the heart of gold (and the soul of a professional belly-rub enthusiast)! 🎉 Casper is a one-year-old Cattle Dog mix who’s trading in his “crowded roommate lifestyle” (he used to live with 15 other dogs!) for a cozier setup with a human or two who appreciate his charm and cuddles. He was politely “evicted” from his old digs, but honestly — we think it’s the best thing that could’ve happened to him. New chapter, new leash on life! 🐾 Casper is currently working on perfecting his leash skills. Translation: he’s figuring out that leashes aren’t snakes and walks are actually kinda fun. He’s even started going potty on leash — what a star student! 🌟 Once he decides you’re one of the good ones, he’ll roll over and demand belly rubs like a total pro. This sweet boy can get a little overwhelmed by dogs who are too ‘in your face,’ so he appreciates calm canine friends and people who understand gentle encouragement. Slow, positive introductions help him feel safe and confident. In his foster home, he’s done great with one or two relaxed dogs who respect his space. Casper will be neutered on Wednesday, November 12, and then he’ll be officially ready for his forever home!💕 If you love a shy-but-silly pup who just needs a little time to come out of his shell (and into your lap), Casper might just be your guy. Once he trusts you, he’ll give you his whole heart — and maybe even let you pick the Netflix show. 💫 👉 Apply to adopt Casper at: www.campcompanion.org 💰 Adoption fee: $350 plus tax

Story
Hi, I’m Olive! 🫒 I’m a playful, loving girl whose foster parents say is SMART! I love learning new tricks- I know how to sit, shake, touch, jump, and play with my ball launcher. My foster mom and I have a lot of fun learning new tricks together! Our latest adventure is agility work. I’m ALL about the fun. I love playing fetch (seriously, I could do it for hours), exploring the house, and my new recent passion, HIKING! I love to hit those trails! I also get along great with my furry foster siblings. I’m a gem. I’m sweet, affectionate, and happiest when I’m following my people around or getting some good butt scratches. I do well in my kennel too! I can be nervous in new situations or around new people, so be ready to be a little extra patient right away whenever I encounter a change in life! If you’re looking for a loyal and active companion, I might be your girl. 💕 Apply to meet me at campcompanion.org. Adoption fee is $350 plus tax.

Story
Meef is a young cattle dog mix who is back with us after being adopted as a puppy and later returned due to personal struggles in her previous home. None of this is Meef’s fault. She is still very much a happy, eager, young dog who is ready for a fresh start with the right family. Meef is social and friendly. She does well with other dogs, is good with kids, and has lived successfully with cats. She enjoys being around people and wants to be involved in whatever is going on around her. As a young cattle dog mix, Meef is energetic, smart, and enthusiastic. She will need continued training and structure. She does get excited and can jump when greeting people, and she will need consistency and patience to finish solid potty training habits. An adopter who understands active breeds and is willing to put time into training will help Meef truly shine. Adoption fee is $350+tax, please apply at www.campcompanion.org

Story
Edward is a mini Aussie breeder release born July 2019. Edward is a bit shy and would like another dog to help him with the transition into life in the real world. He is a sweet happy boy, but has never walked on a leash - although he is trying to learn. He would like a home with a fenced yard so he doesn't need to work on leash training at the same time as potty training in a new home. Edward should go to a home that has experience with Aussies so his needs for order and organization will be appreciated. He hopes he can find someone patient and kind to help him learn how to be a happy dog living the good life.
